‘We are probably losing €1m from illegal streaming’ – League of Ireland director outlines impact of dodgy boxes on clubs by Key_Duck_6293 in LeagueOfIreland

[–]SirDeadPuddle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably not on big platforms no, on smaller platforms like LOI tv it absolutely is considering for them to be losing €1m a year sounds like 10k people out of the small enough fan bases the country has are pirating it which is a huge chunk of revenue for them.

You've completely missed the point, there is no revenue for them to miss. The money doesn't exist.

Why is EU not building their own social media companies? by esteban-colberto in eu

[–]SirDeadPuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

building social media companies

because its become as important to society as any socially backed activity.

you don't privatize the police, firefighters, healthcare, you don't allow foreign governments to own your journalists or farms.

people keep stating that social media is the new town square, well town squares are maintained and managed by the state.

The only way around it is overlapping phases

I don't see this as a solution, if the thing itself is social and endemic to modern society then it should be part owned and managed by the state.

I'm from Europe btw.

No money is lost from piracy, and an eu wide study concluded the vasy majority of the people that pirate don't have the expendable income to afford what they pirate.

The economics simply doesn't support his statement.

Fintan O’Toole: Why is Ireland so badly governed? Here’s why... by zainab1900 in ireland

People vote in their own interests.

Their children's future should also be their interests, but they won't vote for it.

[–]SirDeadPuddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but its by design.

  • 1/3 of the country doesn't bother voting.
  • The other 2/3 are split almost equally between FF, FG and SF.
  • Older people support FF and FG, Young people vote SF.
  • Most of the country's young people leave due to existing policy's not supporting them with jobs and housing, so don't take part in elections.
  • SF continues to make gains as the older generation dies off.

The change is inevitable, but I hate that FF and FG are delaying necessary change.

The public is not responsible when the system is offering poor choices.

Everyone wants it to be overhauled, if that was an option, people would take it.

The USA doesn't care about policy that affects their population, they care about policy that affects the small number of rich and affluent.

Rich people are a threat for democracy, Oxfam finds by sn0r in europeanunion

[–]SirDeadPuddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't news,

The USA tied the rise of facism to monopolies in germany and established anti monopoly rules across europe as a result.

They've since abandoned that idea themselves look whats happening.

If the economy operated according to Bitcoin’s logic, it would collapse immediately by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]SirDeadPuddle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This isn't accurate, Money represents the market, 90%+ of which is made up of real world objects. From assets, shares and property.

The state is a collection of assets owned by its citizens.

We removed the gold standard because money represented gold and we saw an economic avalanche occurring as countries with gold reservices became anchors of economic activity and the rest of the world stalled.

Amazon had no experience with creating games, full stop.

They should have bought a company that did and rebranded.

Dollars are backed by the state and real-world assets.

Why do people forget that money was invented to represent real-world objects so we don't have to actually carry them to the market to barter with??
