> The way all those European countries have addressed They addressed by rationing and limiting access. Of course their systems are generally much more efficient cost wise. However Europe isn’t some Utopian wonderland.

Hypothetically if laws lose their legitimacy because nobody is willing to enforce them (at least some people have that perception) and the political system is designed in such a way as to make any meaningful change near impossible what is t

The fact that such behavior might become acceptable (at least amongst a significant section of society) indicates a systemic failure in the socio-economic system. IMHO its more a of symptom. Like labor and anarchist related political violen

1918? Most of the territory of modern Ukraine. Before it was conquered by Bolsheviks. Also Russia as an independent state ceased to exist in 1922. So it’s hardly that different. Both Russia and Ukraine only became independent countries in

Yes, that’s literally what these people are saying. Russia is allegedly entitled to own half of Europe due to some deranged reasons. Everyone who disagrees with that is supposedly a nazi or something similar. The concept of hypocrisy is ent

> there was never a separate country called "Ukraine" before 1991 By your standards there was no separate country called Russia between 1918 and 1991. So how is this different? Also absurd argument. There was no country called

> there's specific patterns to these homicides There are specific patterns (albeit probably not as strong) to deaths in car accidents. Why ignore one and not the other?

That’s an extremely low bar, though. What about being robbed, assaulted or someone breaking into your parked car?

by wqaatwt 1y ago
Seems like an extremely low bar? It would be safe to assume that for every random (non gang related) person who is killed there are many times more assaulted or robbed.

AU is not exactly a trivia style number. It’s one of the most standard units of measuring distance between different bodies in space. Also it’s not like distance to Pluto is a meaningful number either since it’s extremely variable . AU at l

Eugenics and forced sterilization were a major progressive policy back in those days. It transcended political lines e.g. in 1912 Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft all supported it.

Howard Taft was a a progressive/socialist? Interesting idea.. Eugenics were universally popular back in those days. Willson (hardly a progressive either) was a strong supporter of eugenics. Just like Theodore Roosevelt. > more or le

Or a developer problem when they keep updating their apps every few days for no apparent reason..

You can? Don’t check for updates every 5 minutes. Daily or even weekly would be sufficient for an app like this (if auto-updater is even necessary at all.. just show a notification)

On an selfish/individual level it’s rational to prefer no inflation or even deflation if you have a lot of cash and no debt. For the economy as a whole? Well it leads to a lot less debt amongst other things constant economic depression

It can indirect influence the amount of dollars US is printing. e.g. having Euro interest rates at 0% or less would force the FED to lower them to some extent too.

Bitcoin is ridiculously unsuitable and horrible as a currency, calling it that at this point is silly. Also extreme price volatility make it not a great reserve asset.

China has pretty strict capital controls. Wouldn’t that more or less entirely disqualify Yuan?
629.
by wqaatwt 1y ago
Is it? China unlike US has a declining population. Also it takes a while to catch up even if you’re growing at 5% and your opponent at 3% when the starting base is much lower. Of course this might be entirely moot since US is in the process

Or the British approach. Tuition fee caps and a low interest government backed loans that effectively function like an income tax surcharge.
