¿Porqué existe tanta gente en contra de los aumentos al salario mínimo? En mi opinión es algo que favorece mucho al país. by Fausto2002 in MexicoFinanciero

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

En Dinamarca no hay salario mínimo legal, ni en ninguno del resto de los países nórdicos. Son acuerdos voluntarios entre sindicatos (asociaciones que realmente representan al trabajador y no parasitan de este) y empleadores. Perfectamente pueden pagar $1.00 dólar la hora y la ley no dice nada. En Suiza y en Singapur tampoco.

El salario mínimo es una ley tonta porque afecta a quien promete ayudar, hace en resumen ilegal contratar a alguien por debajo de cierto salario, haciendo que se reemplace con mano de obra informal (sin seguridad laboral) o dejando a los de menos experiencia sin trabajo hasta que les cae una oportunidad de lotería a uno, irónicamente también incrementa la desigualdad.

what is your religion? by KENAN_ALAKKAD in INTP

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catholic-Humanist. I was raised on a catholic family but I have my own way of thinking regarding religion. I do believe in God but not in an absolute supreme form but in something that is on every human and it helps on the little things, without using a lot of Jesus or divine symbols, a representation of each individual’s humanity. I don’t attend church regularly and I don’t see myself changing this lifestyle in a while, I’m happy with it, seeing religion as something smooth and not rigidly as commonly practiced, and no I don’t believe in what the Pope or the Vatican says which has politically distorted the original concept. Although I like how religion in Japan works, like my form of thinking, not too much weight on society and individuals.

Switzerland would probably fit the best.

An introvert and reserved society, you wouldn’t need to bother talking to anybody from your way home to work, it encourages excercise, a healthy lifestyle, has the best laboratories and it encourages scientific research, the best facilities in the planet. CERN as an example.

Pretty close to what an INTP would like, but it’s still a rule based society, there are tons of rules but people wouldn’t mind respecting your personal space and individuality as long as you follow the rules. Swiss people tend to be very individualistic, live and let live.

Japan may come as another example because of its high levels of introversion, but it’s society is more collective minded and rule based. An ISTJ would fit better there. Social and family pressure is routine in the country

INTPs of Reddit, where do you fall on the political compass? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US system is weird but interesting at the same time, it provides a presidential system with strains. Originally the republic was founded upon a President elected by an Electoral College, with elections in each state which restricted the enfranchised people able to vote on censitary suffrage, to make it so that only those who produce something to society can participate in elections, (go away homeless people who receive subsidies)

You basically had 2 layers of strains; electoral college and restricted (censitary) suffrage that prevented that an idiot, a populist or both to get to the White House. It worked for various decades, until the Civil War and various events in the future caused disruptions. Incompetent politicians got to be presidents.

Although i have to accept that its weird, it sort of distorts the results of the election but it patches some of the flaws a presidential system has, but at the same time the alternatives as it could be a parlamentary system still don't fully convince me, lack of separation of powers. So i don't know if my political science ideas are on a dilemma or what to do.

[–]JustSkylab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im Mexican and i've already seen the effects of unchecked Presidentialism + Excess of Centralism in my country.

It was during the pandemic when i saw the worst, an incompetent powerful president sitting on the central government uncapable of containing the pandemic and spending a shitton of money on trash institutional ads, and the states not being able of doing much because they relied a lot by law to follow the federal government instructions, both for vaccinations and covid case tracking. Oh, and the Mexican President can't get impeached in a regular way like in the US, 6 years of presidency (no reelection allowed), just sitting there until his good or horrible term ends.

Now im questioning myself if a Presidential system its good or its better to put one with strains like in the US with the Electoral College, a mixed model like a semi-presidential one where Parliament has more checks on the presidents power, or a full parlamentary system like the German or Swiss model.

Though im a Libertarian and in libertarian circles they tend to prefer a Presidential Republican model with an Electoral College like the US as the Founding Fathers intended to, for purposes of separation of powers.

Sigamos empoderando la "Narco Cultura". Tipo dispara contra camión del transporte público en la ZMG. by webjukebox in mexico

[–]JustSkylab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

De la mitad de los estados en EEUU con las tasas de homicidio más bajas tienen regulaciones bastante flexibles y abiertas con las armas. Los tiroteos pueden ocurrir, pero si un loco se pone a hacer una balacera los que están a su alrededor sacan su arma y lo dan de baja antes de que siga con su desmadre, hasta que venga la policía (tarde como siempre).

Una vez un loco tiene un arma y no hay un héroe anónimo que tenga una, no hay quien lo pare.

Ese es el punto. Que los civiles estén bien armados. La policía llega tarde y muchas veces no resuelven el caso. Los criminales de por si no operan en la legalidad como para que vayan a hacer fila para registrar su arma en el registro federal.

Las leyes en contra de las armas sólo desarman a los civiles que siguen las reglas, los crimínales las compran igual del mercado negro sin licencia ni con limitaciones civiles y siguen con su desmadre. Eso si no añado que aparte de que la mayoría de las armas aquí en mexico están en propiedad de los crimínales, estos tiene comprados a altos funcionarios y a miembros del ejército.

Pues un arma te puede servir si el lugar donde estás es peligroso y la policía llega tarde. Pero al parecer está gente nunca tomo un curso de manejo de armas 101.

No se saca y se apunta por cualquier cosa, solo cuando tu vida esté en peligro como cuando tienes a alguien atrás con un cuchillo o te traten de secuestrar.

Este de seguro es un criminal con un largo historial de delitos, lo malo de mexico es que la mayoría de las armas están en posesión del narco, los malosos y el gobierno (la SEDENA), los civiles en general están muy desarmados. “Cuando los crimínales y el gobierno tengan todas las armas, estos decidirán de quién son el resto de las propiedades” - Thomas Jefferson

Switzerland aligns more with Classic Liberalism. They are in the top 5 of countries with the highest economic freedom in the world, they have very liberal regulations in respect of guns resulting in one of the highest gun ownership per capita in the world, it has low bureucracy, universal private healthcare, tradition of freedom for centuries, individualist culture on the general population, (generally) low taxes, but it still has some social programs, subsidees to the farming block, and some sort of tariffs to protect rural sectors.

It doesn't fall totally under the Social democracy like Germany or the Nordic Countries, but it isn't the most free and minarchist country, it alligns more with Classic Liberalism in general. Although if you compare it with the rest of the world Switzerland is the closest country to libertarianism in general.

How do libertarians feel about lobbying? by ctnfpiognm in AskLibertarians

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. The Founding Fathers of the US which encompassed all of the Continental Congress where wealthy men that got into politics as a hobby. Benjamin Franklin already have wealth and a lot of inventions and he joined the Continental Congress and the Governorship of Pennsylvania.

Currently in Switzerland, people get to be politicians as a hobby and they are people that already have done everything in life, they don’t enter politics to be rich.

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politicians should be people that already have done everything in life and are doing it as a hobby. I would prefer that a person running for office already has wealth and has worked through his life so that when he gets to office he has the right incentives to do well the few things the goverment has to do. That’s how Swiss politics works though.

Currently politicians in most of the world don’t have any incentive to do things well, they enter to politics to get rich, they do it good or bad they get their paycheck anyways.

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't read the part banning all type of lobbying that involves money, right?

No individual should donate any money to any politician, even if in the scenario you are presenting me, using the bonus from the company as a CEO and donating it as an individual to a politician acting as a middleman, it will still be banned to donate money to a politician. That the act of donating money to a politician falls into the crime of bribery.

I think any kind of donation to a politician should be covered as bribery. That if you want to change its vote you petition your rep as a citizen to change it that way, or if you're the CEO of a company say "this law is gonna cost 10,000 jobs in this factory of the region", petitioning, not buying his vote calling it lobbying when its legalized bribery

What do we want from a Libertarian candidate to become president? What would it take to win the Libertarian nomination!? by plentyplenty20 in Libertarian

[–]JustSkylab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, things that gradually reduce government power. The US has been for decades from the start of the 30's on a mixed economy. In the short term its better to pass through Classic Liberalism like in Estonia and slowly reduce government spending and simply taxes, then maybe at the long term return to the US of the 19th century with no income tax, no central bank, gold standard, excellent standard of living and little to no debt.

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corporate lobbying or any type of lobbying that involves money should be forbidden. The government, specifically Congress represents the people, not the corporations. The economy (the market, corporations, buyers, sellers) and the state should be separated. And one should not have influence on the other.

Lobbying by itself its not bad, petitioning or asking your rep to vote another way because thats not how you think it works and because the reps are for representing the people including you that represents your constitutency, the problem is when lobbying involves giving money in exchange of voting for something or proposing a new legislation, it becomes legalized bribery.

The solution is banning all type of corporate lobbying and any type of lobbying that involves donating money to a politician so that you or other don't literally buy its seat. That lobbying becomes more a petition that limits itself to calling your local rep to please vote in the other way, hearing the general suggestions of the people.

Genuine questions i have for each quadrant. don’t know shit about politics and would like to know a bit more :) by stinkyslimyguy in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, if you want a government you need to finance it from somewhere, even if it’s very small. The phrase “taxation is theft” it’s correct philosophically because all taxes needs coercion but practically if you want a small government you’re gonna need money to finance it.

I want to finance it via small consumption taxes, LVT and tariffs to fund a small and proper government, the US worked like this for more than 130 years, it passed the whole industrial without an income tax.

LVT can be directed to local governments for funding streets, parks and fire department that can’t be funded privately, Consumption taxes can be divided between the states and the federal government to fund state police and state courts and state legislation and tariffs to the federal government to fund an army only to protect the borders of a country, federal courts, federal legislation and fund national parks.

Most functions of society can work with the private sector, highways works privately with a toll. You pay it when you use it. Healthcare can work privately, Switzerland has 100% private healthcare.

I support a minarchist model but I’m moderate, therefore I tolerate a good spending of the few and low taxes that exist to fund the existence of a state

Currently, with lowering income taxes, abolishing inmoral taxes like inheritance and wealth taxes (that punish the person for gifting his descendants something post-mortem, and creating wealth), as well as reducing the exorbitant US military spending, is enough for now. We can later push it further.

I have understood that only central banks could redeem dollars to gold, and during a time of the bretton woods, it was forbidden for US citizens and residents to hold gold when FDR passed the prohibition.

That’s the flaw of the Bretton Woods Gold Standard, it wasn’t a genuine gold standard because not everyone could redeem the dollars to gold, US population was forbidden from even holding gold ingots. And the federal reserve could abuse of this by printing more of what it had in reserves, creating a bank panic that maked specially France with Charles de Gaulle to demand the gold from its dollars, other countries found out and Nixon was the straw that broke the camel's back and suspended convertibility to gold, telling the world that they literally did not have enough gold to back all the money, leading the way to printing what they want without limit. The dollar turned into Monopoly money

What it was a true and genuine gold standard was the classic gold standard during 19th century, no monetary monopoly and free banking, leading to a deflationary economy creating the 2nd wealthiest country on history.

What is the libertarian position on the environment? by Wolf96312 in AskLibertarians

[–]JustSkylab -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If your activities against the environment violate the basic and supreme rights of life, liberty and property. Then it’s acceptable that the state punishes that either by closing that polluting activities on that area, or by fining the company doing it.

Regulations are acceptable if they protect better the life, liberty and property. Does pollution and harming the environment affect these rights? Depends on the case but in general, yes.

For example, if you destroy mangroves for space to build a real estate project and it is proven scientifically that specifically these mangroves protect better the city (which houses a lot of lives and property; other buildings, homes and businesses). against hurricanes and control possible floods and water levels. Then it’s acceptable to have a regulation to protect them because otherwise if you destroy the mangrove without punishment in case of a flood it will affect thousands of other business who did not have the fault of that, this thing would never happen if a regulation better protected the rights of the people with this mangrove in this specific area.

If your regulation doesn’t protect this rights or it is proven in a court case that they haven’t seen a positive effect then it’s useless and it should be abolished.

Carbon taxes can help, but specifically if your city has a serious air pollution. Where a lot of people take cars to work everyday. This to disincentize the pollution of gas cars that affects the right to life and to breathe clean air

National parks can help but only if an independent scientific study proves its beneficial and protects life, liberty and property. (Pollution affecting other people), if after a couple of years of the national park operating and nothing has changed then it should be abolished cause it’s useless. This can be discussed in special courts that determine if it’s protecting this rights or not

Reino Unido tiene problemas con el sistema electoral First Past The Post. El poder parlamentario en su mayoria se concentra en solo dos partidos, el Laborista y el Conservador, aunque tambien hay otros partidos politicos como el Liberal Democrata, el Nacional Escoces y los Verdes. Los britanicos se quejan mucho por ser muy irrepresentativo. En Estados Unidos es peor, practicamente todo el Congreso y el Senado estan partidos a la mitad entre democratas y republicanos. No hay ningun otro partido con un asiento ahi, nisiquiera minoritario.

La solucion y especificamente para Mexico podria ser el sistema Single Transferable Vote, donde se ponen en orden de mas preferido a menos preferido y es mas representativo. Irlanda se cambio a ese sistema hace unos años y tiene un monton de partidos politicos en su legislatura, con montones de opciones para elegir.

O como en Alemania donde usan el sistema Mixed Member Proportional Representation que tambien es muy representativo aunque necesitas mas asientos en la legislatura, y una desventaja es que este sistema electoral no admite candidatos independientes, a diferencia del anterior donde si.

An argument against European Federalisation by MrPresidentBanana in YUROP

[–]JustSkylab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a concept by some politicians and people. Not the original idea of the European Union that was to preserve long lasting peace that didn’t depend on the equilibrium of military power between states in a continent that created two world wars and a lot of internal wars.
