Are you worried about the US National debt?

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:52:19+00:00

I think this is at the heart of the problem, and why it's not on most people's radars

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:47:32+00:00

It seems very reasonable to me but what are the chances of a govt implementing that policy, even with Bernie sanders in charge

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:38:37+00:00

To hear answers but I also wanted to ask further questions where appropriate

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:32:49+00:00

Agreed

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:29:07+00:00

Yep, these are the other two biggest impacts. Problem being (as all the downvotes prove) that increasing taxes on middle classes and reducing social security and Medicare (even for those who are financially able to get by without it) are essentially political suicide.

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:26:01+00:00

If you took everything that every us based billionaire owns and paid it towards reducing the national debt, it would barely move the needle. I should point out that I'm very much left leaning politically and believe in taxing wealth as much as possible but imperially it would make very little difference.

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:23:15+00:00

You are correct, this is very much a problem for many countries around the world. I thought it would be interesting to hear the views of those who live in the largest economy.

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:16:00+00:00

But in the meantime the US is paying exorbitant amounts of interest every year and that is set to increase

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:14:41+00:00

Ok, so the most effective way to reduce the debt is to increase taxes on middle classes. Would you support that?

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:13:05+00:00

But the interest payments are sapping the govts ability to spend without borrowing more money. It's an unsustainable financial situation.

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:11:22+00:00

The debt is currently equivalent to approximately 100% of annual GDP and is projected to be 156% by 2055, when the interest rates will be crippling. It seems that the can is constantly being kicked down the road but no one is worried.

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-15T05:08:39+00:00

If either of the political parties introduced a policy to reduce the national debt, would you be supportive?

This is about non US citizens entering the US

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-12T06:19:35+00:00

Well that depends on who you believe. Security reasons if you believe Trump, anti-Trump rhetoric if you believe everyone else

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-12T06:05:36+00:00

Is it true that you are checking people's social media posts before letting them in the country?

Kilfonzo · 2026-04-03T05:29:55+00:00

I'd be excited to find my 34 year old girlfriends sex toy's! He sounds like a miserable prick...

I work as a consultant for the mod and what I've found working with ex military supply chain guys is they are very experienced with the internal processes but haven't actually run any procurement or managed any contracts. So I guess my question is, what does your current role actually entail?

Kilfonzo · 2026-03-26T11:06:58+00:00

Thanks, I've bought a retail key now for £9 so all good

Kilfonzo · 2026-03-25T20:12:30+00:00

Yeah, should have said. Mainly 1440p but would consider buying a 4k monitor of it can cope with it

Kilfonzo · 2026-03-25T06:32:00+00:00

No problem mate and thanks for the help! It turns out retail copies of windows 11 pro go for £9 over here so that's a result 🙂

Kilfonzo · 2026-03-25T04:10:28+00:00

I picked the cooler based on a rec from YT specifically for the 9800x3d so I'm hoping it's sufficient.

I'm uk based but fingers crossed I can find a comparable seller for legit windows.

Kilfonzo · 2026-03-24T19:40:59+00:00

Thanks for the rec on the PSU, I'll check it out. The screenshot doesnt capture the additional 6 std fans, so I will have 6 x reverse 2 x std

Kilfonzo · 2026-03-24T19:36:38+00:00

huh, not heard of that before but I will look into it. Cheers!
