What's the best way to correct Tim's misunderstanding about how libel law works, there is a ton of case law that calling someone a racist / anti semite / nazi / etc is not just a matter of opinion but is actional defamation because of the reputational harm if its not supported by verifiable facts
Its not a political opinion
There is a mile of case law
That falsely accusing someone of being a nazi, when real harm is involved, is actionable
@สooNสooN those cases die on inability to prove damages
Here is NJ law
48 AD 3d, statements to the press published by the press that portrayed the employer as a racist and abusive was actionable slander
That is NY law
@Timcast https://www.citylab.com/life/2017/03/business-tax-incentives-waste/518754/ the belief that tax incentives for jobs is a good economic proposition is highly contentious and I strongly urge you to read more on that subject before repeating it in your videos
@Grenade123 I think you missed my point. You seem to be arguing from a certain theoretical point and assuming the claimed efficiency of a certain program. I don't dispute that some tax incentives may work or not. What I do dispute is taking the assumption that they do work at face value. See https://www.pewtrusts.org/-/media/assets/2017/05/edti_how_states_are_improving_tax_incentives_for_jobs_and_growth.pdf
Many states, including New York, are atrocious at measuring efficiency and as pew notes in that study, poorly structured tax incentives can have serious detrimental impacts
Christ, look at what Foxconn did in Wisconsin
That last statement of yours belies the problem
You could say the same thing about communism
Theory is irrelevant if it can't be implemented correctly
That's just an opinion though
I value ideas based on their ability to get claimed results
So far, the evidence for tax incentives is that there is a lot of devil in the details
And its far from reasonable to simply believe untested assertions about what they will do
Particularly when many states go out of their way to avoid studying them in the first place
Which, in my view, is indicative the state shouldn't be doing it then
It's not reality based decision making
Dear god, look what happened in Kansas with Brownback's tax cuts. I think you may be a little caught up in your ideological lens
Taxes tend to be marginal in measuring IRRs for new business expansion
I'm just saying
It isn't good practice to just assume that when a government offers tax incentives to attract business
It's going to work as intended
And the evidence backs that up
Support your argument
They tried in 2014 and couldn't pull the trigger, but it's much harder for them since they adopted the euro
Having to transition their entire financial and commercial transition backend systems is a huge technical undertaking
Keeping the pound really saved the UK in this instance
UK is also in a much much much better fiscal position than greece
Capital controls and trade tariffs
Ie, the state stops acting to facilitate global labor arbitrage
Anyone able to comment on the accuracy of this take?
That article was saying that brexit is basically assured
And that passing the no, no-deal bill is impotent unless bojo presents it
Ie, house can't actually control the government without an election
Boris is the Babylon 5 of Brexit
