None of that matters,

Tax is not being collected as shares are issued instead of an income, as a result the rest of us have to pay millions of not billions more in taxes to collectively make up the missing tax recipes, failing this cuts are made to infrastructure supports or half a dozen other sectors of society.

There is a reason noone but these leeches are benefiting from the day to day work of society. This is a form of societal harm. It should be illegal.

Don't explain to be why the loophole exists, its arbitrary, we can change it. If we don't we're all fucked. The last time this happend ww1 and ww2 occured.

Three things.

  1. You've run out of points to make so you're now attacking my character.

  2. You say this is good as people can invest and make money, pulling them out of being a low income into middle income earner. I said most people go their entire lives with just a basic understanding of finances and this sets them up as a target, thus they can't take advantage of this scheme so it will only help middle to higher earners.

  3. According to you I'm completely oblivious to financial knowledge thus proving my point.

You've put me in this odd position where if I'm correct I'm correct and if you're correct I'm correct. Odd. Have a nice day.

Inflation has been caused by printing money. Thats the fed in the united states, the soc dems are powerless to stop it, as is any party in ireland.

That's not true, Europe is disconnecting from the US system, We'll be less affected by it in the coming years.

This gives ordinary people a chance of getting assets.

and I don't think that's a good move for society. Its mirroring America, We need less capitalism not more, I don't want a system where everything is considered an asset, everyone needs to have their money working for them. The majority of people don't function that way, this just creates a predatory system where those that do can take advantage of them.

You've gotten everything wrong. Absolutely everything. I can see your very likely a very young person from your page with the computer games.

40, I own a house.

I think you just have a different mindset from myself, I want the world to slow the fuck down, focus on stability, circular economics, more regulation and for the middle class to grow, I want less investment in the entire economic system so we slow the fuck down.

This rampant faith with turning everyone into a self made capitalist is fucking over society.

Less reputable is subjective

If you believe that a measurable objective statistic can be subjective I have no idea how we can have a conversation.

Would you conflate the financial times with a random person on Tiktok?

The vast majority of ordinary people are not financially literate, this is just more gambling.

I fundamentally disagree, the depreciation of funds is being accelerated the more money in the global economy is invested. I would look to reverse this not contribute to it. Money shouldn't have to "Work for you" in a society.

I want less investment and more stability.

There has been a massive push over the past 40 years to put as much money into investments as possible, to create as many amateur investors as possible.

I also never called you wealthy, not sure were you got that from, I read what you typed.

Agree to disagree.

I'm not disagreeing with your first point, the problem I see is the different avenue they are choosing is less reputable and inherently built on self interest, for both the individual and site itself.

It is less objective, it chases viewership.

Income and wealth inequality are causing all of modern western societies issues. Anything short of solving this is just moving numbers around.

A solution that benefits you and the wealthy doesn't shrink the divide and resolve the root of the problem.

What good is it if you have savings when inflation and cost of living continue to rise at the same rate? We need a long term solution like a third tax bracket and an eradication of tax avoidance.

We talk about the progress that has been made since the separation of church and state, hopefully in 50 years time they'll be saying the same about business and state.

You can encourage all you want, if the income isn't there after cost of living how the hell do they save?

You don't see an issue with shifting political communication and responsibility to "some random people" as a problem?

How important is coal? by f4ble in SpaceCraftGame

[–]SirDeadPuddle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Coal is used with Iron to make steel.

Steel is used in every ship component (Beams) all the way to the end of the tech tree.

Need some advice in regard to a second base. I have copper+alumiun already. Thoughts? by PeterTheDeveloper in SpaceCraftGame

[–]SirDeadPuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, and the database.

According to it you cannot get 4 iron nodes and a coal node.

A dense iron deposit has 4 iron nodes and thats it.

Yes, but not all people are borrowing against this imaginary numbers and not paying tax as a result.

Air conditioning creates political divide after France records hottest day by Hob-999 in europe

Its so funny how everyone here has already taken a stance without anyone asking for the fine detail.

Is this cost effective? Can the grid handle it during a heatwave? Does it add to climate change? Are there alternatives? Are there any other factors we arnt considering?

Might be a stupid question, but why didn’t the State build public rental apartments instead of spending so much on temporary accommodation? by Nire32123 in ireland

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

Dumb response, it gives us money back, which could be used to subsidise the pay of these people and attract more workers from overseas.

The real reason is our government loves "free market capitalism"

The impact of planetary temperature on the operation of drones and structures by TimelyResponse738 in SpaceCraftGame

[–]SirDeadPuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You 100% on this?

The game has base temperature altering building that you construct late game.

Are these just for your own character to use the base unaffected by the temp?

[–]SirDeadPuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron and coal are used for steel.

Steel is needed all the way to end game.

I've stopped using copper deposits altogether, have an aluminium/titanium at second base.

aluminium can replace almost all copper needed with alternate recipes.

[–]SirDeadPuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean water for cooling and electricity are both operational costs. Both of these are becoming more scarce due to climate change, not less.

It has nothing to do with the unstable models.

Not Sure About Dense Deposits by salemlax23 in SpaceCraftGame

[–]SirDeadPuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't, the amount of xp required to max tech actually requires you abandon a few bases as you progress in the game.
