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

2018-11-30 18:21:13 UTC  

that's exactly the problem here

2018-11-30 18:21:16 UTC  

To show that I get it

2018-11-30 18:21:18 UTC  

Sure

2018-11-30 18:21:25 UTC  

the EU was made to be a common market, nothing else

2018-11-30 18:21:36 UTC  

no one voted them to be anything else

2018-11-30 18:21:44 UTC  

But the money would only be going to gibs, so not getting gibs money for gibs you don't have is ???

2018-11-30 18:22:16 UTC  

And then France UK Germany still wouldn't be "pushed" by that system since they front the incentive

2018-11-30 18:22:28 UTC  

The 10th Amendment limits federal power but the federal government uses the power to tax and run a deficit, the latter of which is denied the states, to guide state behavior even if there is no enumerated power.

2018-11-30 18:22:32 UTC  

France and Germany own the EU

2018-11-30 18:22:38 UTC  

they are the ones making the rules

2018-11-30 18:22:46 UTC  

They're the ones paying the bills

2018-11-30 18:23:00 UTC  

Including the payments made without explicit welfare conditions

2018-11-30 18:23:11 UTC  

they aren't "paying the bills" they are paying for control

2018-11-30 18:23:24 UTC  

Then leave the EU

2018-11-30 18:23:35 UTC  

Social security and health care are two other places the US feds guide the states mostly through the power to tax and run a deficit.

2018-11-30 18:24:03 UTC  

Education is another, although the post civil war amendments also underpin those authorities.

2018-11-30 18:24:04 UTC  

@Beemann you might want to go up and re-read how this conversation started

2018-11-30 18:24:19 UTC  

that was what we started the conversation with

2018-11-30 18:33:02 UTC  

The issue was whether or not it's socialist. EU still depends on that sweet sweet market money

2018-11-30 18:33:18 UTC  

As evidenced by the lack of starvation in the union

2018-11-30 18:41:15 UTC  

the evidence is the lack of growth

2018-11-30 18:41:22 UTC  

starvation is the lategame
