I'm wincing because it's water earth fire air. It physically pains me that the order is different XD

I mean, more importantly it's inaccurate, because outside some make a wish stuff reccord labels make songs for people based on those people paying them, the music industry is very risk averse.

A lot of the swing States trump won were lost in 2018. Id overlay the two maps, to get a more clear picture of the general mood, however this time Trump does have a spending advantage instead of a 20% net spending deffict so he's still highly favored to win.

The problem with restricting sufferage is no one will vote to remove their own. If you want to curtail it you need phases

Fuck education

Educated people are idiots, I know from experience

But yeah. Restricting sufferage based on education encourages massive University structures we deffintely don't want

The buisness/land owning method of the old us makes more sense

Oh boy, people need to stay in state run education for 18 years to vote... I see no flaws with this plan

Id say no age restriction, but either propertied or service sufferage.

If we were going to do something other than raw age

Education sufferage is litteraly institutionalist technocracy

Buisness ownership being a requirement seems fair, if we are talking about breaking up the massive governmental power structures that allow megacorps to grow as large as they have for as long as they have

Wage labor via contracting is already becoming a thing now

If the regulations that keep small businesses down are broadly removed it would skyrocket.

Which is why they use government to pull up the ladder behind them. Which is where we are now so at worst we would be back to square one

Why?

I'm not saying you are wrong but you need to argue why it's what it should be Eccles.

4/10 Trump meme, the salty tweets are too blured to read so the salt factor is diminished.

Bmi and bfp are different I think

Ik bfp, idk bmi

Kinda proves your education point is bulshit

Loool

I should have seen the maximum voting age as the warning sign XD

Speaking from experience. My non college educated work colleagues are generally as smart if not smarter than my college "peers"

Depends. If they worked a real job in their life (hi) then they usually do. But most don't sadly

Basically most people who are in the financial status that they went to community college first (again hi) are pretty grounded

However I'm now in grad school and most of these kids have no idea how anything works.

Hi I'm a token minarchist

Communism, socialism, call it what you like, there's very little difference in the two

I think with a restricted sufferage there needs to be multiple avenues to gain sufferage. And I don't think that they should all require serving the government directly.

Some are

So are some grannies

I dislike age as a metric period

I mean, the facist counties lost primarily due to their smaller economies, which pre dated the facist takeovers, perhaps facism resonates more strongly in weakened humiliated countries... Or something

Italians peaked in 117

And have declined ever since

Franco was pro war, but was stopped by a fammine

I mean. The late 19th and 20th centuries taught that in a modern economy direct colonial imperialism doesn't turn a profit

We saw with the french/British empires, imperial Japan, and even the Soviet union

The mother country always net lost from it's directly controlled forigen teritories.

Oh also Italy. But Italy barely counts

To be fair, lybia and eritria were both profitable and well integrated

Ethiopia and Somalia less so XD

And the Albanian occupation cost money ofc

I mean, the only colonies profitable to the UK were the dominions, girbraltar, Egypt (cause Suez) and some parts of india

Most of the empire esp in Africa was map painting at the cost of actual prosperity

More than that was spent on infrastructure alone

Only a few costal/very rich areas of India were worth the costs

Too bad diamonds are intrinsically worthless and the practice of diamonds for proposal jewelery popped off in the 50s

Well it was in pre industrial times

It wasn't proffitable is more fair to say

I mean. America is doing a neocolonial empire

Time will tell if that works any better

Most of the British empire was "i don't actually want this I just want you to not have it"

Trump can't cover up that he has in fact been to ukraine

XD

I can't cover up the fact I have been to mcdonalds.

problem is all renewables except nuclear and hydro suck

at the moment at least.

in terms of kwh per dollar it is, admitedly it isn't the nightmare solar is

and has more room for improvement

@killerqwerty its reserves are so large it might as well be for the next few hundred lifetimes

in terms of kwh per dollar its nuclear fission (uranium), hydro electric ng, oil, coal, wind, nuclear fission (thorium, for now), and finally right at the bottom solar

in terms of polutants wind is pretty good, solar is shit on both fronts, with just co2 emissions a full cycle solar pannel causes more than any fossil fuel except coal, and including non greenhouse gas polutants solar is just the worst

most uranium is mined in canada

so for the us nuclear is 100% safe nationaly since canada is basicaly a part of the usa

yeah, nuclear gets gutted every time a dem/labour government is in place

the real reason us/uk nuclear is about 20 years behind france and japan.

even though its less likely, and less dangerous than most other types of malfunction

well, japan shot itself in the foot then

basicaly people are stupid

chernobel was old, and managed by soviet russia

it actualy is

tim: I would never vote for a republican

idc about isreal either way. Everyone in the middle east sucks

some people choose to get upset on isreal, some on saudi arabia, some on iran

its all shit and we are there to stay no matter whos in charge

I think this is one of those areas where we as the public don't know enough about whats going on

becuase a lot of presidents have ran on changing things, and voted as senators/congress people to that end

but the second they get those presidents eyes only documents they all have the same policies

I mean, that might be a part of isreal, it would not explain the rest

isreal would like us to invade all its neighbors

well, as someone who has lived with a lot of well to do jews

they are mostly bds types

i am not even kidding

they are successful people

meh, the in group bias data shows that they have about the same in group prefference as white conservatives, so lower than most ethnic groups

if in group bias was the primary cause of success than black men would be doing alright

there are a lot of factors at play

I dissagree there is a they.

there is a corelation, but no proof of causation

ok ilhan omar XD

most jews have never been to isreal, and you just ignored that a lot of them are bds types

if you want to believe there is a jewish conspiracy have fun, but please have more evidence than "but tehy are jews"

for some lobby groups

...

thats a sham argument

the reality is, the republicans don't want to bring in puerto rico cause it would vote dem

the dems don't want guam or samoa in because they would vote republican
