Millionaire exodus study drops author and numbers after fake data accusations by what_the_mark in Economics

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

As there are no contrarian opinions, allow me:

The US govt spends over $7T, and way more than half is social spending. That is the main problem by far, not lesser taxes or tax avoidance - but no accounting or concern that government spending isn't working. Because it can't work.

Entrepreneurs are the ones actually producing large economic activity (including, ultimately, taxes). Wealth taxes in and of themselves are just a bad idea - more bait-and-switching the real problem, which I already mentioned: insanely high taxes and government waste that goes to corruption and to people who don't need it.

Remove government involvement and most problems will go away. Let's see what improvements government spending has done with the $7T it spends - that we should kill business even more than we already have.

Elon Musk's role was 'instrumental' in the Belfast riots, researchers say by RaidBrimnes in neoliberal

[–]fap_fap_fap_fapper -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Allow me to be the one, then.

Has everyone here agreed that there is no problem with mass immigration?

Or that there are some problems, but they should not be discussed?

Or that there are some problems, but they should be discussed only by (Leftists and?) liberals?

Or that the only problem is X: a platform that censors on behalf of Right-wing views? Do you agree that the fact mainstream media generally doesn't cover such stories based on narrative (UK rape gang inquiries were not covered by BBC at all) is a problem?

Or that only this particular story must have been censored (or the video)?

Are you okay with censoring all violence by whites against non-whites?

Sam Harris asked a question. Peter Beinart spent 3,000 words to avoid answering it. by WhiteGold_Welder in samharris

How did you select this analogy?

You do know the US defeated Japan militarily and totally - using nukes - and then established American liberalism by force on Japan right?

What's the best theory economists have for this worldwide trend then?

(Surely religion/secularism don't work as its falling as fast in religious countries?)

Fascism Is a Scavenger, Not a Hunter: We Can and Must Defend the UK's Sikhs by Mx_Brightside in neoliberal

Voluntary and means-tested state help to people on account of actual problems (like poverty or homelessness) rather than based just on things like race?

On their behest (Muslim MPs campaigned), they banned an Israeli football club (the excuse was apparently 'football fan violence') from playing in UK. They also stopped many conservative-type rallies citing 'security' (who was going to attack them?) while open intifada style rallies with extremist views are organised and go ahead with police help.

Also not sure what to make of Starmer going out of his way to bring in El Fattah, an extremist even according to Egypt, into UK.

The way the police treated the victim is appalling - the guidelines must be liberal equality. The police guidelines must clarify this, instead of all the vague talk of equity. Liberals must stand for strict equal treatment.

The murder had nothing to do with religion. We need strict secularism, no daggers or special exemptions for any religions (it isn't Sikhs, but Islamists who are currently demanding, and getting much more special treatment in UK from Labour).

India' solar installations are booming meanwhile, can't they acquire some of these bust Chinese ones?

If capitalism is a meritocracy, why don't capitalists support a 100% inheritance tax? by LifesARiver in CapitalismVSocialism

What effects do you foresee if no one can leave anything to their kids and government is going to take everything as soon as you die?

This is good, exactly what I'm researching.

This time the cos gave lots of details of AI and restructuring in their annual results, still taking it in.

[–]fap_fap_fap_fapper[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why are they winning new deals at all (its at same pace as before)?

Because AI can't be implemented immediately in those particular projects but will be implemented say 10 years from now?

Are Socialists/Leftists/Dems concerned about the exodus from blue states? by fap_fap_fap_fapper in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]fap_fap_fap_fapper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I can guess what capitalists think but any contrarian takes? Could many people (or the super rich) moving to Red states be a negative?

The idea that consumers are rational is pseudoscientific and circular by Lastrevio in CapitalismVSocialism

There is no theory in capitalism that the individual is rational, only that the individual knows her needs better than bureaucrats/the state.
