I meant to say it is all over! Parliament is shut- he has progued parliament
Hallilujah!
Parliament is not prorogued until sometime between the 9th and 12th Sept.
Stop posting in funny languages love
We didn't build an empire to read bloody gibberish
I am actually not Norwegian but almost there. I believe in you lot though. I just love my king
September Eleventh Massages?
How do yโall feel about this?
Nice article, though a bit abstract I would say. I do not reallly have any points to make on it. Maybe that I thought this was common knowlege about the nature of liberal education, but maybe that has indeed been starting to get lost in United States? I would not know, I am not an American.
Intresting video, I only really have three points on it: First, Myth #4 is simply not adressed. He doesnt give any reason why the US government could go bankrupt, which he doesnt do because it cant, the US is monetary sovereign and could simply decide not to pay its debts or print the money that she owes in dollars to her lenders. After all 1000 dollar debt is just 1000 dollar bills, not the value of said 1000 dollars. Second, the statement about government created inflation is a gross oversimplication and the entire part about how inflation is a 'tax on your savings' is just wrong. Inflation is a natural part of how modern economies grow. After all, inflation 'happens' every time a loan is extended by a bank, which then has to cover her increased liabilities by borrowing money from the central bank or others at a certain intrest rate (this is the federal intrest rate). Generally speaking inflation rates around 2% are normal. The fact that this man calls inflation a 'tax' is just wrong, the government doesnt recieve any of your lost savings nor does it set a law to collect that revenue.. Inflation is just the increase in prices of goods over time, the fact that your income is not increasing is a completly different issue.
The second part on Taxation too contains errors. The point about how governments can't raise tax income but only tax rates is wrong, after all, there are many first world countries that collect far more than the 19% gdp in taxes. The graph that he uses to illustrate the American governments 'tax ceiling' is very intresting, it is called 'Hauser's law' and he simplifies it to '17%' overall, completly ignoring the significant shifts in percentages on raised revenue that have happend through the year, often between 1 and 2 percent points (16 to 19,5 percent). He also uses a single example of high-low taxes, top marginal income taxes, to illustrate this discrepancy, but this tax is very 'flexible' for reasons that are similar to the graphs he presents after that. In those graphs we can see how collected tax per capita is actually lower or does not change much as tax rate increases. (continue this later)
is it wrong to think that the world needs a disaster or a outbreak of some sort
maybe one day the progression of our species will be too much and it will backfire.
make sure the progression doesn't get that far, whatever it is.
Why break the world in a time where we have everything or enough. It will just be eternal madness.
I dunno about disaster but we could use a minor ice age
unless of course everyone could get along, which is bullshit.
but since actual ice age is soon due, we might get more than that
this recently came out btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEWoPzaDmOA
I do believe that no regulation, petition or ridiculous UN rules could stop the inevitable, late stage technology. Where anyone could use any weapon, extremely lethal. Why go that way? why let us go that far and then somehow think we can live together at that point.
Nah. You can control the material that's needed.
(needed for weapons of mass destruction)
The issue for would-be terrorists is, when there are no easy to follow tutorials, you need to be really smart to put things together.
*cough* CIA *cough*
If a government is involved, it's not really terorism.
that's just warefare.
Like, there was that guy that was building a cruise missile in his garage.
So some stuff is already quite doable.
To be honest, it's when shit becomes widely available, like apple products.
Yep. And that can be largely controlled.
Don't believe many foresaw social media.
and its addicting features etc
Maybe if something like replicator were doable, I'd more afraid.
But I don't think anything approaching that can be done.
make sure the progression doesn't get that far, **whatever it is.**
depletion of resources, overpopulation?
I really doubt that 3d printing steel is cheaply doable.
I mean there are tons of things that needs to be stopped before we reach that phase.
and w/o affordable 3d printing of high quality specific steel alloys, many things are not doable
Resources are not a problem
ehhhhhhhhh
Maybe water, in the grand scheme, because that's more rare in our solar system than on earth. At least I think it was water.
Or maybe it was nitrogen
carbohydrates are quite common, as are metals

Religion doesnt have 1. & 2. & 3. & 4.?
/sigh
-_-
"Religion "
*which* religion?
um... all of them pretty much? lets go with catholic church for a specific example
look, we're arguing in circles & the convo has moved on
so complaince with group... is why people rush to rome when the pope is dying... the pope is the 'living' leader.. tho GOD is the real leader... if you arent catholic your less likely to go to heaven in their version... thus devaluing outsiders... and they excommunicate dissenters
so is this a cult or a religion if your using those 4 as definition of a cult

Europe will do it because look how peaceful it is on the Irish border. They will get an army and test weapons right there.
Apparently, 58% of Irish people are frightened Europe are going to make a hard border.

I mean, I think that's why people don't want to be in Europe because of the army they want to build . It's not a joke.
The UK , have expressed on several occasions they won't because they are devolving parliament. Meaning giving more powers to Northern Ireland. This includes their own security. But the money will come from Westminster. The constitution will come from Westminster.
It's better than waiting your turn in a pool of 28 other countries, for state money.
The EU has done the old fashioned thing and created austerity. Even in Ireland. I think the UK have paid enough and I have seen how things have manifested in Macedonia and the Greek border. Europe will also use their army and weapons there.
