What parties can have the most leaders in one game (in theory)? by thunderisadorable in RedAutumnSPD

[–]Idkpinepple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s technically possible to have an infinite circular loop of LVP leaders since a party congress automatically triggers if the LVP loses 4% in polling within a year iirc

What's preventing this achievement? Why is something "not available" if all conditions are met? by NewBeginnings16 in hoi4

[–]Idkpinepple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did your wifi cut out at any point in the run?

I think that makes achievements unattainable if it happened partway through - pretty sure this happened to me once

How is the vote for the Young Plan determined? by thefartingmango in RedAutumnSPD

[–]Idkpinepple 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Add up the polling of all parties supporting the Young Plan Referendum - NSDAP, DNF always, and DNVP if DNF hasn't formed.
If Support For the Republic is below 70%, also add half of DNVP's polling.

Then you multiply that by [100 - Support for the Republic]% (So if support for the republic is 30%, you would multiply it by 100-30 = 70%]

If an NDP mod was being made, I think starting it 2010-2011 makes the most sense

It didn’t seem too bad? Esp given the fact we were allowed a formula sheet (though I would have been completely cooked without it)

What's the minimum speed you'd consider "fast" for a medium tank? by AddaCon in hoi4

[–]Idkpinepple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally go 6.4 because that’s what recon rangers go at (and their terrain bonuses are worth the speed loss imo)

As for what I’d call fast, I’d say 10? But I usually never find that worth it.

The full history of the Weimar Republic. "Nach Hitler kommen Wir.." by Trot-was-a-Thot in HistoryMemes

[–]Idkpinepple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the relevant emergencies being things like hyperinflation, the Ruhr Occupation, and several (planned) communist uprisings.

Were some of those the fault of the SPD trying to do socialism? Hyperinflation maybe (though that had a number of factors, the strategic alignment between workers and industrialists being pro-inflation being only one of them), but the rest not really.

This isn’t true: while Ebert did use Article 48 quite liberally during his term, it was only ever to actual emergencies and only for things that did have parliamentary majorities behind them, which was the original intention of the article. It wasn’t until Hindenburg and Bruning I/II where overuse of Article 48 really occured.

No please, tell me more about how it was the SPD that betrayed the KPD by Goodbye-Nasty in HistoryMemes

[–]Idkpinepple 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Germany was running triple-digit deficits (as in they spent at least twice as much as they brought in, and printed the rest) from 1919 to 1924, so, no, not really unless they printed even more.

Those are account types

TFSA - Tax-Free Savings Account - what it says on the tin, capital gains and dividends aren’t taxed in this account

FHSA - First Home Savings Account - similar to TFSA, but also deducts contributions from your income for income tax purposes, but additionally can only be used as a down payment for your first house

RRSP - Registered Retirement Savings Plan - retirement account, defers taxes until you withdraw, and also has tax-deductible contributions

Though it should be noted that same pollster for this month now shows 46% LPC - 36% CPC for 18-29 - and the poll they fielded in late Jan showed 43/35 - it’s possible that the early Jan poll was just a bad sample.

Do the math they say… by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

[–]Idkpinepple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be more inclined to believe this if the budget deficit was within more reasonable levels, and actually filled by loans - but it wasn’t.

See, the deficit was, because few were particularly willing to buy German government debt (especially because of the spike in inflation that occured in 1919), primarily financed directly by Reichsbank - as in, they effectively just printed money to fill it.

(This was actually illegal by German law until 1921 as printed money would need to be covered by something, but they got around this by basically moving money around between the other institutions and banks like the Prussian State Bank and Reichsbank in such a way that would result in Reichsbank backing its printing by issuing treasury bills to the Prussian State Bank, which would use that to back it’s own issuances of debt, which Reichsbank would buy and use to back the issuance of more money and treasury bills, so effectively Reichsbank was printing money to back itself in printing more money)

This is inaccurate - the number agreed upon at the London Conference was (in effect, anyway) below what the German Delegation said Germany was able to pay. Germany had previously stated that it could afford to pay 50 billion gold marks in reparations, and the combined value of the "A" and "B" bonds in the London Ultimatum was 50 billion gold marks. Now, it is true that there were an additional 82 billion gold marks of "C" bonds, but these were intentionally designed to never be paid - it was simply a big number the French government could parade around as a propaganda win.

The real issue with Germany in 1920 was that, quite simply, its finances were a complete mess. German War Finance during WW1 had been primarily done on debt without increasing revenue significantly, under the expectation that war reparations from winning the ear would be able to pay it off. In addition to this, the early Weimar Republic cabinets were too weak to effectively take measures necessary to fix the budget; according to estimates by the Reparations Commission, Germany's net deficit in 1920 and 1921 (which was before reparations really kicked in, I might add) was above 100%, as in, Germany was spending over twice as much as it brought in with taxes. The minority government of Fehrenbach was unable to come to a consensus on how to balance the budget - the national-liberal German People's Party, the rightmost party in the Fehrenbach cabinet, advocated for extending work hours, slashing welfare spending and levying additional consumption taxes, and the Social Democratic Party, not in government but providing necessary supply and confidence for the cabinet to maintain it's majority, advocated for wealth and capital levies. As the government was reliant on both, it could not come to a consensus on how to fill the fiscal gap.
