- golergka 3y agoBe kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoAssuming a society expects working populations to support non working populations, then the debt exists regardless of it being tallied on a balance sheet. The only options are to remove the assumption that working populations will provide for non working populations (this removes the debt), or to have a sufficient proportion of working to non working population (this allows the debt to be serviceable).
