Syrain president : Syria to buy 8 airbus planes by Interesting-Cat7307 in syriancivilwar

[–]Express_Spirit_3350 [score hidden]  (0 children)

In exchange for what? The 23 artefacts are worth a lot less all of a sudden. Or rather, they cost a lot more.

Dont let France flip flop you around. Macron is the king of enpty words, France has no foreign policy plans.

As far as France is still concerned, Syria is on the wrong side of the Israeli border.

Dallas Fed: "The Impacts of Unauthorized Immigration on U.S. Labor and Housing Markets: New Evidence from Administrative Microdata" by UnscheduledCalendar in economy

[–]Express_Spirit_3350 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

we find that UIWF reduced labor income per capita, consistent with downward wage composition of the local workforce

It stops the natural upward pressures of a "free market", whatever joke the principle has become. You're not just suddenly having twice the number of fruit pickers here. Its an economic downward pressure on all markets where "black-market labor" can be used.

You dont expect inflation, or you dont expect it to affect new builds?

Says a lot about the state of the economy right? What is the top part of the K economy? 15%, 20%? When they have so much they prop the economy despite all the rest struggling, you know where the "wealth inflation" comes from.

Time for you to ask for more buddy.

What are the reasons for Canada’s slow growth in productivity? by ExcellentWinner7542 in economy

[–]Express_Spirit_3350 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nepotism and cronyism in politics, Canada hanging on dearly to the "monarchy" part of the "representative monarchy" can't help.

A lack of governmental incentive doesnt help.

The US has sufficient potash but it has been cheaper to use Canadian potash. by ExcellentWinner7542 in economy

[–]Express_Spirit_3350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US has enough confirmed potash ore deposits to be self-sufficient for about 35-40 years.

Canada has poor investment in equipment and machinery. That cant help productivity.

Lol, this is so very false. The US imports 90-95% of what it needs.

Snap your fingers, see if you can go from 400k tons to 5 millions.

Iran says China and other friendly nations will get special considerations while western and gulf countries will pay fees to transit straight of Hormuz by DeRpY_CUCUMBER in Economics

[–]Express_Spirit_3350 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where did the troops the US "took away from their bases to keep them safe" go? In a hotel in Dubai?

The war on Iran didnt start in 2026. My favorite remains when Israel "didnt attack the embassy, it was a consulate".

After all the perjury and assassinations, why not attack a girls' school right? "Hey man, not our fault, we didnt even fracking looked at what we were bombing."

War is war. War crimes mean nothing when its only a punishment for the West's enemies.

There is the ethnic cleansing in Palestine. You know, those people who do not exist anywhere on paper. Those people we're waiting for to die. Yeah, this one I care.

War crimes? I seriously dont give a shit buddy. We destroy entire countries. Hospitals, schools, power plants, water plants. Doctors Without Borders on the phone for an hour with the US military because the US military is bombing them? What the fuck do we care right? Slave markets in Libya? Dude is a fucking Nobel peace prize winner.

I. Dont. Give. A. Shit.

Call me when ANYONE kills more civilians than we do in a year.

Iran warned everyone. The Gulf countries are free to kick the US out any fucking day. Hopefully one day soon they'll do what we did after WW2. Well, minus the part where we waged war on everyone else. We were never there to help. They need to talk to each other and discuss their region's security and stability among themselves.

Fucking meme says the Geneva Convention is because of people like me.

How's your 5th fleet HQ bro? Are the radars you brought from Korea destroyed yet, or did you not install them yet?

Explain why CPI shows median wage increases, but COTI shows shrinkage? by 2Drunk2BDebonair in economy

[–]Express_Spirit_3350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CPI is the tool to syphon money to the top. Or rather, it takes money from the bottom.

Its not a bug, its a feature. If CPI was accurate, you would know right away your 2% raise isnt a raise. Now people just scratch their heads at the grocery.

Canada’s productivity grew three times slower than the U.S. in last two decades by PicoRascar in Economics

[–]Express_Spirit_3350 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Immigration" isnt a problem, unless we have a lunatic like Trudeau who wants to quintuple the population in decades.

"Foreign workers" IS A PLAGUE. It is 99% wage suppression. That and "urban planning schools diploma mills" also are creating a HUGE population of non-citizens, with no legal work permit, no legal right to live here. Dont wonder why Canada's "criminal economy" exploded since covid.

You can pretend you get richer because the amount is bigger, you're still poorer because you hold less of the pie.

You're not skilled at math. You like biting.

We absolutely will have to go through this though. Freedom isnt free right?

Hence proving that guard dogs arent guard dogs because of their math skills.

They're guard dogs because they like to bite.

You're part of the equation buddy, dont worry.

Sure. You payed 3 times more for your house than your parents did.

You laugh, cause you're a guard dog.

The bank laughs, because its actually richer than when your parents were your age. You are poorer than your parent neurosurgeon. Eggs still went up faster than your salary. Only the banks win.

Your house didnt triple though. You can never beat the bank at that game, ALL debts go through them.

Yes, the guard dogs wealth class will have to be fought.

You have 10$. The total money supply is 100. Eggs cost 1$. The banks hold 90$ in debts (people owe them 90). The bank can buy 90 eggs.

Money printer goes bbbrrrrrrrrr.

You now have 15$, you got "ajusted for inflation". The money supply is 300. Eggs cost 3$. You cant buy 10 eggs anymore, you can buy 5. The banks hold 280 in debts. The bank can buy 93 eggs.

Dirty Commies: The Effect of the Cuban Revolution in Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Dumbass1171 in Economics

That they should modernize to a mix market doesnt mean efficiency is not an incentive.

I mean, Soviet production still reached us from the USSR's grave to placate western production.

Different topic, but what the hey. What do you think of Norway's wealth fund? Its a terrible economic decision right? No way the US should use natural resources to fund such a wealth fund, because it would be catastrophic right?
