Ummmm OK, thank for your personal output. :brow: But wasn't this thread was about Trump?

Evidence of what? Identity politics? Remember that today's identity politics is quite new with safe spaces and cancel culture. Identity politics as a ...

The narrative any media follows is the what the audience wants to hear and what the owner wants to promote. Anything that challenges one or especially...

I don't think they convinced them to change their ideas as the working class was simply sidelined. The last traditional leftist politician was Bernie ...

Trump makes up things? OMG! :gasp: Scaremongering isn't limited to one side, it's a way of the country. Polarization rules!
July 27, 2020 at 20:52
A very interesting and thoughtful discussion between Eric Weinstein and senator Ted Cruz with a moderator Michael Knowles, which brings up good points...

You should ask the person in question. But if a person says the following: That clearly doesn't mean that in Scandinavia there aren't any restriction ...

Which actually they don't run. Entrepreneurs are far more in charge of the economy than economists. Although the majority are likely from middle class...
July 27, 2020 at 15:16
But back to the subject, I think the next real issue the Trump administration has is what to do with the unemployment benefits that are ending. I thin...
July 27, 2020 at 12:11
Quick sidestep from the thread: This is false. (Although it should be mentioned that MadWorld 1 didn't say that there were no restrictions). For some ...
July 27, 2020 at 11:36
And you think Denmark interferes in German elections? And has this lobbying raised complaints in the EU? I think freedom of speach is very important a...
July 27, 2020 at 10:51
Oh yes, and we should remind ourselves that a Republican President has earlier gone against state authorities, a Democrat governor back then, and depl...

That's a good thing! Rarely Trump does something good, but this is one of those cases. https://www.ncpssm.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/US-DRUG-PRICE...
July 25, 2020 at 14:49
I would emphasize this, what our favorite Dutchman is saying here. The US military will surely not put itself to the side of Trump in this kind of sce...
July 25, 2020 at 14:14
I really disagree. He gives the preferable answer at the moment when he is asked something and if this isn't in line what he has said earlier, doesn't...
July 24, 2020 at 20:33
Trump is a simple mind to understand. And responds to events like the George Floyd killing in a predictable way. Yes, just look at Donalds own approve...
July 24, 2020 at 19:16
I think the fact is that COVID-19 will surely be a focus of research even after the pandemic, hence there will be a lot of scrutiny about it. Hence I ...
July 24, 2020 at 13:56
There's no paradox, Tzeentch. This has been the normal for a long time, it's just pops up from time to time to be observable. Many philosophers are id...
July 24, 2020 at 13:41
And so is to believe that 200 years old leftist economics that has been tried for the last 200 years and has utterly failed is an answer to the proble...
July 24, 2020 at 13:35
That's the image the election campaign of Trump wants to show for his devoted followers like you, NOS. Of course those that are actually US Citizens, ...
July 24, 2020 at 13:05
So how has Denmark meddled in other countries domestic policies? Or Iceland? Or Jamaica? Because the US is totally incapable of keeping secrets for a ...
July 23, 2020 at 20:48
Yet the basic fact is that wealth is created. If you produce something of value, then the World is that product richer as it was earlier. If you sell ...
July 23, 2020 at 17:57
I genuinely fear how much ill this Trump fiasco will do to the US, because this train wreck will get only worse until it ends. In the end a lot of Ame...
July 23, 2020 at 17:36
Besides, if you break things like the Constitution and deploy "federal troops" against the will of the local authorities, then do that with private co...
July 23, 2020 at 10:18
And usually that "meddling" is called diplomacy and done by an ambassador. This "meddling" is usually done openly with a straightforward agenda which ...
July 23, 2020 at 10:03
What is curious about this? The logic is very simple: Russia is militarily stronger than any individual European country and even economically larger ...
July 22, 2020 at 19:51
Trump hopes desperately that he can incite more riots! And also it's great training for how to handle the situation when Trump declares that the elect...
July 22, 2020 at 09:31
Lol. There's even a term in political theory named after the meddling in my country called Finlandization: the process by which one powerful country m...
July 22, 2020 at 09:23
What that fair share is, is crux of the problem. Always has been. Bankruptcy laws and procedures are a result of a long historical learning, just as i...
July 21, 2020 at 18:36
Lol. Obligatory mask use everywhere hardly is the rule anywhere. The reason why we use masks is that one can be spreading the virus without symptoms, ...

Benkei, profit comes after paying your employees. Labour costs I think are in the category of expenses and costs.
July 21, 2020 at 18:05
Thanks for the names of the books and the given links!
July 21, 2020 at 18:00
Surely there is a need! Institutions matter and market mechanism doesn't work without societal institutions, starting from things like nobody can put ...
July 19, 2020 at 21:40
Seems like you are talking about franchising or simply what banking does. Besides, if a philosopher gets his or her income by writing books, that is e...
July 19, 2020 at 19:35
But that's not in any way what Kaarlo Tuomi is saying: What you are saying somebody cannot be an entrepreneur because they cannot start their business...
July 19, 2020 at 18:27
Well, if you want to hear the statement, please then listen to the whole event brought to you by the US Department of State and put aside the leftist ...
July 19, 2020 at 15:34
Gregory, I would also love to know more about Charles Sanders Peirce and pragmatism and the few quotes that the professor at the history of philosophy...
July 19, 2020 at 15:27
But that's simply wrong. An entrepreneur can make a good, and some person can make a transaction with him or her, meaning the person can buy it from t...
July 19, 2020 at 13:13
And the reason why have they been so unable is an important question. Other countries, including mine, could find a political consensus on how to deal...
July 19, 2020 at 12:51
Still sounds like the economics & economic history taught in my university 25 years ago. But that seems not to matter. Better market things as new!
July 19, 2020 at 12:24
So you mean the entrepreneur providing a service or a utility doesn't benefit anybody? How insane is that idea?
July 19, 2020 at 10:04
Here's a question for people here: Assume the pandemic will continue as it is now for let's say eleven months. If Joe Biden wins, will the media forge...
July 19, 2020 at 09:56
And which of the findings are new? What the guy is talking about is basically a mixed economy. That's not a new idea. At least it's a healthy start to...
July 19, 2020 at 09:48
And this is the real issue here. Before delving into the specific issue of political correctness, to make one important point I would like to broaden ...
July 18, 2020 at 23:37
You can obviously disagree with Azimuth's opinion about it, but isn't it genuinely the problem that people are offended, make a huge row and accusatio...
July 18, 2020 at 20:16
Perhaps the divide ought to be done with a) being politically correct and b) condemning others for not being politically correct. Nobody has a problem...
July 18, 2020 at 18:25
Yet it isn't equivalent to Liar Paradox or perhaps in this case to Russell's paradox. This is something that some writers erroneously think. The self ...

You mean those who formerly voted labour that didn't get excited about Jeremy Corbyn last time? :snicker: At least you aren't in the same category of ...
July 17, 2020 at 15:01
Likely in the end Americans just want to forget Trump. Because this era will simply be so humiliating. Likely at the time when Ivanka publishes her te...
July 17, 2020 at 10:42
Is it too simple answer to say that entrepreneurship seems like focusing on income and money, where as philosophy on thinking and knowledge? Yet we sh...
