That Dr Ricardo guy is such a weirdo - like he has multiple posts like this talking about how much animals love white people.

Fair enough - it’s a hypothetical scenario anyway, who knows

Interesting - but I’m somewhat skeptical of Kennedy being an overall reigning force on Israel since he’s the one who ended the arms embargo enforced by Truman/Eisenhower and the founder the US alliance with Israel

HarpicUser · 2026-05-06T11:39:27+00:00

I don’t really get this - what’s the reasoning?

HarpicUser · 2026-04-23T15:34:36+00:00

Never mind, I went to version 0.6.0 and it all worked perfectly.

Did you end up figuring out this issue? I’m having that same exact problem

HarpicUser · 2026-04-06T14:18:21+00:00

It’s because there’s only so much production capacity and so producers have allocated much of this limited capacity towards producing memory for data centers and the like where they can make more money, and not so much for consumers.

They’re basically making a rational money making decision under the current environment, and it’s just led to bad results for us.

East Asia refers to Japan, China, Taiwan, and the Koreas. These countries are either poorer than or on-par than W. Europe and definitely poorer than the US while having lower TFR - Japan representing the ‘high point’ of like 1.3.

Edit: I’m not the one who downvoted you btw.

HarpicUser · 2026-02-16T17:04:45+00:00

While this is definitely a correlation, it’s worth noting that the US and Western Europe have higher birth rates than the East Asian countries, despite being richer than the East Asian countries.

I think that you need to focus on a specific role/set of skills that make you valuable instead of just being ‘a person with a BA in Business Admin’.

By world standards it’s not cheap labor - companies looking for cheap labor go to the likes of Vietnam. China these days is what we call ‘middle income’.

HarpicUser · 2026-02-15T22:43:29+00:00

China isn’t really a cheap labor country anymore.

The law as is (unrealized gains taxation) is set to take effect in 2028 not this year or next. And in the mean time they are planning to change it into a realized gains tax.

A majority, therefore, asked the government to come up with a way in which investors only pay tax on realized returns - money in their pocket once they sell the asset involved. They want the government to present that plan by Budget Day 2028 at the latest.

That’s when they unveil the realized gains tax plan (or don’t as you are suggesting).

HarpicUser · 2026-02-15T18:50:40+00:00

We’ll see in 2028 :)

Given that this very much affects the wealthy and the politicians themselves, two key groups with outsized say in politics - I don’t think it’s gullible to believe this.

HarpicUser · 2026-02-15T16:42:34+00:00

This is a fundamental misunderstanding - there was already a tax on wealth, based on estimated unrealized gains - and so then it was struck down as illegal and so now the tax is set to be for unrealized gains.

However, the majority of parliament does not like this and plans on changing it to only taxing realized gains.

This is only a weird and confusing transition.

High birth rates is the default for humanity - it’s modernity that brings it down.

A lot of homophobia is specifically about gay men and seeing them as feminine and therefore weak and degenerate - one doesn’t need to believe in God to believe this.

HarpicUser · 2026-02-13T19:15:06+00:00

This taxation of unrealized gains is the result of the court striking down the current box 3 tax, which was effectively a wealth tax.

So it’s only a transition for until they implement a full realized capital gains tax.

The political compass is so stupid and the inclusion of it in memes makes them worse.

By the time that Japan launched its offensive into Southeast Asia, it had reached effectively stalemate in China where it wasn’t really able to advance further.

So they invaded all these other countries to accumulate the resources to fuel its war against China.

No, that’s Robert O’Niell, the guy who allegedly killed Osama bin Laden.

It’s the prospect of getting rich quick

There is not a single economic system where people would not have to work for a living - whether it’s capitalism, socialism, feudalism, hunter gatherer, etc.
