Wrong, NOS, he specifically said to use the military. You simply cannot deny that he asked for the military to be used do this, to confiscate the voti...
Yeah, just an ex-National Security Advisor (and former US general) of Trump insisting that Trump should use the military to confiscate the voting mach...
What lengths countries like the US go because of less than a million deaths in couple of years because of such a puny pandemic. A mere two thousand de...
Surely some church or religion will attempt this. Still I think that the vast majority of organized religions will hold on to their old "sacred" thing...
You don't have free markets anywhere. Didn't have much even before the pandemic. Especially what isn't tolerated at all is that the market would corre...
Oh no worries, economists themselves have very different ideas about how the economy functions. As the saying goes, when two economists meet three alt...
If the inflation persists and the economy tanks (stagflation), it might result in an out of control monster. We have to understand that the actions ta...
I agree with @"frank" here. First, money supply isn't fixed. Second, money isn't transferred from the poor, because, uh, they don't have money in the ...
Of course one might ask the reason why women are getting children older. But I guess the reasons for that don't matter. So give an example as we are t...
I think a better option is simply to close the thread if it's going nowhere. And leave the line "this thread has been closed by moderator y because of...
Thanks @"ArguingWAristotleTiff", Hey, happy holidays also to you and your family!!! Let's hope that the next year is better than this one. (Or if it i...
Why??? It was totally an ordinary thread. People can ask stupid question, can they? Can people start a topic and then it can drift? Or not? Deleting t...
OK, With modern medicine and health care morbidity has fallen throughout the World, even if there are difference between the poorest countries and the...
Hmm... a new member that came to this forum 14 days ago who's first post basically without anything else than a long quote. Yeah, talking about "milit...
Russia and China have already held military exercises together, China has been a large arms customer for Russia and the vast majority of both Russians...
The link between wealth and fertility is quite well understood. https://www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-economy/2016/december/-/media/project/frbstl/stlouis...
This is actually easy, but people simply don't understand it. Population growth will end when the fertility rate is below 2.0+. That fertility rate lo...
Indeed they weren't monetarists, but they did understand that just printing more money to cover expenses of the government will create inflation. Keyn...
Current ideologies and indeed promoted with similar ardor as with traditional religion, that is true. You have evangelists that spread the true word. ...
Lol. Have to say that the Trump administration was the most transparent administration as various people paint the same exact picture you could see fr...
There you said it yourself. Technically they aren't. (That's the norm with central banks, actually) Remember it was the Wall Street banks who created ...
Don't you remember Whitewater and Kenneth Starr, who was initially appointed to investigate the suicide of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster and...
Talk about passive aggressiveness. The new term is to escalate things by laying out de-escalation demands. It would be hilarious, if it wouldn't be so...
Well, I honestly believe that the lab-leak hypothesis is a real possibility. The Chinese officials surely did actively try to hide the pandemic and th...
This was picked up even in our local newspapers here: The interesting thing is how we report these issues. When it's a poor Third World country, we op...
A sloppy self-defeating chaotic riot that the inept former President hoped somehow would get him turn obvious election result somehow to something els...
OK, let's concentrate first at the most important issue. The obvious question is the following: when is a central bank doing the basic thing which it ...
Uhh... I do believe in economic history. Been a believer for a long time. And btw it's not just monetarism, it's classical economics going back to Ada...
Actually, the government then didn't recommend avoiding contacts. We had just "opened up" and for those a) that have two vaccination shots and b) aren...
Yes. Japan used biological weapons against Chinese during the war with the infamous unit 731. And killed Japanese soldiers also, but that naturally ha...
Of course. Only retired officers open their mouth ...and for a reason. Basically it's the Commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that speaks on behalf...
Well, the Canadian army doesn't have to publicly state that it acknowledges the election results when there is an election. And Canadian politicians a...
From the OP's Washington Post article: I think this is the actual problem: the politization of all branches of the government. And that every issue ou...
We'll see. Especially about this line: I guess the question is how long is something 'transitory'. Especially the idea that the spending will end duri...
That is actually true. Perhaps better to say that things could get even worse. Nah. Those who have it the worse now will be the ones hit the hardest i...
So how long are you going to believe the official "supply chain" argument? First, no, not in this way. The alphabet soup of programs they went through...
Market mechanism creates the obvious limits. But if those are disregarded, then simply you will have "official" prices that nobody can get the stuff a...
The few rare times I agree with @"StreetlightX". But of course, if you print so much money, you will get inflation. And finally that has happened. Inf...
Do notice what I said. If alternative energies ARE MORE CHEAPER than fossil fuels, then the transformation will be rapid. And do notice what is happen...
I guess @"Xtrix" is in the camp that endorses the juxtaposition of either we "solve the climate change" or "we think of economics" where "economics" i...
Actual appropriate steps would be more of investments in the "Manhattan project" -scale to tackle climate issues and simply get non-fossil fuels and e...
You definitely are of the evangelist sort, just looking at the loaded terms you use and from the debate with others. I have no desire to debate an iss...
So... when it comes to Russia, it's all a hoax, anti-Russian or russophobe propaganda, Russia is the one under attack, but with Turkey, it's the real ...
I think this is the main point. It's the evangelist attitude, the "your are bad and I'm better" and I'll tell you that. People don't like evangelists,...
Or basically that some Vegans, not all, have the attitude of actively judging what other humans as omnivores eat. That they feel nauseated of others e...
