"allowed to operate independently" kinda

2018-11-30 17:22:58 UTC  

"wealth isn't redistributed" arguable

2018-11-30 17:48:07 UTC  

Canadian system is shite tbh. Small business gets fucked daily

2018-11-30 17:52:43 UTC  

@Beemann agreed. Our liberal and conservative parties seem to value large corporations more, one of the few things they have in common

2018-11-30 17:53:20 UTC  

Our social welfare systems are going to fall apart soon too tbh

2018-11-30 17:53:39 UTC  

Government asks more and outputs less every year

2018-11-30 17:53:51 UTC  

@.B It isn't redistributed to the degree that everyone has an equal amount of wealth (except the individual(s) at the top of the system)

2018-11-30 17:54:11 UTC  

no shit

2018-11-30 17:54:13 UTC  

There are higher taxes for wealthier people but that's the case in most countries

2018-11-30 17:54:41 UTC  

nah, if you have kids you don't have to work a day in your life

2018-11-30 17:55:03 UTC  

Wot

2018-11-30 17:55:17 UTC  

yep, that's a thing

2018-11-30 17:55:30 UTC  

Not in Canada lol

2018-11-30 17:55:40 UTC  

we were talking about Europe

2018-11-30 17:55:42 UTC  

not Canada

2018-11-30 17:56:37 UTC  

Those are nation dependent, not EU dependent

2018-11-30 17:57:08 UTC  

If your country is going gulag mode that's not on the EU necessarily

2018-11-30 17:58:17 UTC  

are you out-of-date on this?

2018-11-30 17:58:27 UTC  

EU is forcing welfare

2018-11-30 17:58:47 UTC  

while the conditions are still per-country

2018-11-30 17:58:59 UTC  

welfare is a real thing being pushed by the EU

2018-11-30 17:59:06 UTC  

Link

2018-11-30 18:01:17 UTC  

The first link is EU specific, the second is just an example

2018-11-30 18:02:35 UTC  

the new UN bill (being pushed my mostly Europeans) also forces every country that signs it to give free education and health care to illegal migrants

2018-11-30 18:03:39 UTC  

The first one is recommendations. The second is pre-existing

2018-11-30 18:13:28 UTC  

feel free to argue the difference between _being pushed_ and _recommendations_

2018-11-30 18:17:36 UTC  

The former suggests a penalty or lost incentive if you reject the desired behavior. The latter is simply optional with no injunction except negative peer pressure.

2018-11-30 18:18:20 UTC  

nah.. being pushed means incentive for doing so

2018-11-30 18:18:20 UTC  

And no one is forced unless they ratify that expectation as a treaty.

2018-11-30 18:18:43 UTC  

the EU pays money to member states depending on the end to where it goes

2018-11-30 18:18:49 UTC  

Like I said. You lose an incentive if you reject the behavior.

2018-11-30 18:19:09 UTC  

That constitutes being pushed.

2018-11-30 18:19:43 UTC  

For example, in the US is isn't actually illegal for states to permit 14 year olds to drink alcoholic.

2018-11-30 18:19:55 UTC  

they give you money to do what they want you to do. Call it whatever you prefer

2018-11-30 18:20:10 UTC  

But if states don't make it illrgal for those under 21 to drink alcohol they lose all federal highway dollars.

2018-11-30 18:20:20 UTC  

The main payers can't be pushed anyway, since they're the ones paying in. The countries listed in the article already had the policies you describd

2018-11-30 18:20:55 UTC  

You are talking like the EU is the Federal government 😏

2018-11-30 18:21:03 UTC  

They're trying to be

2018-11-30 18:21:09 UTC  

I'm just using a US example
