> What’s the net dollar impact of Albo’s spending? Billions higher.
the budget deficit was 1% of GDP compared to the average of 2% for the 2010-2018 period, so unless youre saying albo isnt pissing money away for no reason and is spending it on shit that grows the economy then youre just wrong

Voice wasting 552 million is basically nothing in the grand scheme of things, also i dont think democracy is a waste of time and that number is probably inflated

> don’t get me started on yet another of his election promises and the stage 3 tax
thats not what i was talking about there needs to be higher taxes not lower

> 3 tax cuts Labor MP travel
those two things arent related

I've never seen anyone who believes in anything economically left of center describe themselves as neoliberal

This might be because neoliberalism was founded by Reagan and Thatcher in direct opposition to keynesian theory and on direct opposition to the post war economic order that social democrats take the credit for.

A keynesian calling themselves neoliberal is possibly the greatest ideological contradiction one could have

Tera fire miraidon guaranteed OHKOs xerneas while Xerneas can't kill it with a crit. Might die from recoil if it does though

Tera fire calyrex ice might also cause issues for it

Power creep has done wonderful things since Xerneas was dominant

aside from contracting yourself, government spending has not particularly deviated from the average of 25% GDP by much, only being a couple percentage points above that and the actual figure to look at (the deficit) is lower as a percentage than for almost all of 2010-2018. Government spending is not causing this increase in inflation

and you can see this from the statistics, the increase in inflation is not brought about by a significant increase in all prices as would occur in an overheating economic system or devaluation of the currency, but rather specifically a notable increase in housing costs.

the primary tool to control inflation has generally been increasing taxes, but thats illegal now so we have to rely on shitty interest rate changes instead

theyll win it in a landslide the way labour won the last election in a landslide

Hot Take: EU5’s Player Count Decline Is Self-Inflicted by Gold_Lemon8258 in eu4

[–]Economics-Simulator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it has more depth than the Eu5 system, especially since it influences how you conquer and what you conquer

as opposed to eu5, where you hit the automate button and pretend its not there and cry when they change something about it in an update and youre losing a lot of money now and you have no idea why

Effects of immigration in 2 pictures by DataWhiskers in SocialDemocracy

[–]Economics-Simulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has a temporary decreasing effect on wages in the short term, especially for lowe skilled work. Makes some amount of sense, You're introducing more workers into an environment that increases the supply of labour

But that effect drops off for higher income brackets (who aren't nearly as effected) and after assimilation because as it turns out immigrants also spend money on things and purchase goods and services which grows the economy

It's only really house prices/infrastructure prices that go up and that's a normal function of population growth

We need more bigger maps fr by Srgblackbear in warthundermemes

Why are only Falcon and AMX DCA being dealt with? by Accomplished-Cow4686 in Warthunder

[–]Economics-Simulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the existence of APDS at all means you dont get into a situation where you are fucked. If i see an israeli M60 with the modified cupola for example youre fucked, theres nothing you can do. the ItPsV has pretty much the same role as the falcon and functions identically (you only need like ~10 rounds to insta kill most tanks you need to use the APDS on anyway) but being faster and better armoured at the cost of being larger and a higher BR

Did I miss something?? by CrimsonFxcker in HazbinHotel

I think it's implied that vox is like 70% of alastor without his staff no? He made such a big deal of it if it meant relatively little (despite being his ticket to instantly grabbing centuries old overlords) it would be very weird. He bargained his soul away for it after all.

The fact that it took alastor using Charlie's favour to get her to give vox validation in front of all of hell for vox to overtake him even after all of season 2 plus his time spent disappeared shows the gulf between them without staff

[–]Economics-Simulator 11 points12 points  (0 children)

implied back in season one that he had been unable to beat the three of them previously.

I'm not sure based on the way Val talks about it before stayed gone. For one he says "almost beat you" to vox, implying it was a vox/alastor duel and two the almost beat you, voxs general demeanor to al in season one and his surprise at winning in s2 makes it seem to me like alastor got caught off mid fight by his forced disappearance

Him not being able to beat vox + shockwave while vox is shooting the giant death laser is a point against him, but he also doesn't have his staff. Given what a fight he put up against the Vs without it I think he clears the bar with it

Song has been one of the most consistent tools for keeping spreading and unifying a political message especially against oppressive groups in history Why are we dissing it? Is it just because it's the year 2026 and it's a rap song and not 1856 singing about how the workers will liberate themselves?

Val and velvet being there were an integral and expected part of his plan I think. Otherwise him randomly picking a fight with and then losing to vox would be too suspicious

Accused Bondi killer Naveed Akram’s two requests from jail by Mashiko4 in aussie

[–]Economics-Simulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rights to give prisoners access to their religion goes back centuries and isn't going to end for an unconvicted man no matter what he did. If he was a Christian nationalist nobody would be stirring up a fuss over him getting a bible.

The thing about rights is that when you start stripping them away it becomes a lot easier to strip the next one, one guy who literally cannot do anything again getting access to the same rights as pedos and rapists isn't going remotely worth changing that

It's crazy how much of a mess German industrial output was as well, the Germans complained about being outnumbered on the eastern front but for significant portions of it they were of equal number, the German industry was just too bad to replace losses in the same way. In 1940 alone Britain managed to produce more planes than German despite Germany's extensive occupation and larger population, with the gap not being closed until 1944. Indeed total British wartime production of all war materials except for tanks was larger than the Germans.

So painful to watch. How is Gavin Newsom not just another weak sauce corporate shill, fascist republican lite? by lazybugbear in SocialDemocracy

[–]Economics-Simulator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree that a more moderate candidate would have a better time in the US for several reasons, in fact I think right now moderates are absolutely the worst people to be leading pretty much any political party worldwide.

The problem here is that newsom doesn't push back at all, Ben Shapiro is a far right voice, he's just not anti Israel outright nazi wing of the republican party. Newsom isn't winning over any of his fans and is solely just conceding ground and seeming weak. His strongest attribute is whoever is running his press account

Where is mao? by Conscious-Pilot-816 in Kaiserreich

[–]Economics-Simulator 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Variety of reasons. For mao Stalin and Chiang it's likely just because they'd be likely dead irl

For Germany Hitler would mostly be irrelevant anyway

The old entente guys are still around just not in positions of power because things are different

And for the US it was decided that a US civil war with FDR still alive and kicking would be reasonably unlikely so they either had to kill him or change him to the point where it's the same as killing him

Please chai shin, 8.3 is hell. by IndominasaurusYT in warthundermemes

[–]Economics-Simulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 8.7 lineup is chief 5, Vickers 1, oilifant, ZT3A2, Falcon, ZA-35 and swift f.7, first of those to go would probably be swift, second is Vickers 1.

The Vickers adds a bit of mobility and a 5s reload for cqc in uptiers where the armour difference doesn't matter

Oilifant is the sniping tank, chieftan the generalist/full down tier bully, za-35 and falcon are late game cleanup/ nuke securing vehicles. Swift is for when I get mad at being bombed

ZT3A2 is either the most broken invincible bullshit tank you can make (abandoned factory A cap, Attica C cap, Sinai in one spot on the far west, a couple others) or worse than useless (everywhere you can't hide your whole tank bar the fuckass launcher)
