There is already no trust in the financial system (it's based on usury after all).

It's not about needing religion. It's about once it's proven to be correct, the only rational decision a rational person can come to is to accept it. In other words, you have it the other way around. Secondly, the media does

I meant WWI. I'll edit my post. The point remains however.

What do you recommend as a solution? Do you honestly think if MS and a few other companies paid more in tax things will magically get better? Do you trust the government to send that money properly? The problem runs much much deeper. This i

Did you read some of the emails? There was already talk about the virus being engineering. The one about the CCP government cleaning paper money in Wuhan is quite telling.

There is a power imbalance, of course it makes sense to blame not only the one with power to control the situation, but the same one that started the conflict in the first place.

Another factor is money pumping by the government resulting in devaluation of currency. People want to put their money in hard assets that are resistant to inflation.

Alcohol is an extremely dangerous drug that is unfortunately normalized and expected by society. I wonder how much it is costing them in terms of healthcare, accidents, crimes, rape, etc. Islam prohibited intoxicating drinks over 1400 years

Challenging to overcome languages like C++, Rust, Java, and C#. D seems to sit somewhere in between, a better C++, but with (optional) GC. The thing is, Java and C# are already making strides into that space.

Extremely filthy behavior on the CCP's part, though not unexpected. Governments should step up their effort to stand up against their bullying and atrocities.

The article lacks substance, and asks the reader for suppositions. "Science" will not be able to, nor is in the realm of deducing or making morality. It's quite annoying how scientism is being pushed these days.

A company that provided jobs and services for millions of people. Nothing wrong with being valued at "billions of dollars" as long as things are done ethically.

The problem is idealizing such people in the first place. Sure, they may have had incredible achievements, but they're humans at the end of the day.

Borrowing is fine, just without interest. Suppliers already lend retailers and restaurants with no interest, and car dealerships offer 0% interest loans when they want to sell. It can be done.

Islam recognizes the time value of money, just do it in a proper manner. Invest in a business and get a return. Purchase property and rent it out and make a return. There are many ways to make money that do not involve usury or gambling.

What does that have to do with following Islamic finance practices? The Saudi government does not fully apply Islamic law, e.g. they allow usurious banks to open, as well as other things not worth getting into for this discussion. The Saudi

Everything requires faith at some point, even science. You have to accept certain axioms that you are then able to build science and math on top of, there is no way around it. Are you going to call science a form of religion then? We know t

More "independence and freedom" is just an illusion. She's simply a slave to the desires of men looking at her body. Only a secular capitalistic society can believe that any good can come out of it. It's a straw man beca

Of course selling one's body doing prostitution is bad, I don't know how that's even an arguing point. Not all "freedom" is good, some of it is destructive, like the example above. > but a man (or woman) selling

> It should be easier to start families because families earn twice as much. In practice, it doesn't translate to immediately doubling the effective income. You hear many accounts of people whom their father was working a single job

Not necessarily, is selling your body on prostitution websites more freedom? I think not. It's known what women face in a secular captialism-first economy.

It just means it's now harder for families to make it on a single income that used to be the responsibility of the father. This drives wages lower as we're seeing and makes it harder on everyone.
