Just blame it on the FED, government over spending has nothing to do with inflation.

Remember it's not about cracking down on crime... it's about cracking down on law abiding citizens ability to stand for individual freedom.

This is the same problem with Universal Health Care. I shouldn't have to help pay for the health care of the guy whose blood has turned into Mountain Dew from how much of it he drinks. Either we don't allow certain people to have health care or you heavily regulate what people can do

It depends on the kid. I did better when I had to go to a place outside my home to be educated. The same goes for work. Also, not every parent is fit to properly educate their own child. Social outings are a must, and the ability to teach isn't as common as it should be. Then there's the problem of religion. That should be 100% on the parent, not the school, to endoctrinate that parent's child. When the whole point of schooling is to prepare children to enter the working world as an adult, things like political ideology and religion have no place in school. The closest any child should come to either is in his or her history class. The rest can be gotten at home. All this is to say that neither system is perfect, and thankfully, there are resources available to help those that both systems have failed.

I didn't just uninstall the apps. I deleted my account to make sure I never come back

Insurance is a money laundering scheme

Whether we're talking education or healthcare Im a big proponent of vouchers.

It does not work like this people. This video is a joke

Second bite of the apple. Tagged you. You come back no more. new content

The only thing good for non-public schools is making friends more easily

Want proof? Just look at the gaming industry alone. Every game in the last 5 to 8 years that was a critical failure had DEI programs and woke ideologies implemented into the companies. Hell, Black Myth Wukong came under fire for not submitting to DEI demands.

I think they call it a perverse incentive but I don't know

Compound interest is predicated on the notion of perpetual economic growth which is unsustainable.

Seamus power scales too!!!

100% Karl marx he got. so many to belive das Kapital

If I remember your Dilute That Criticism episode correctly, didn't your right leaning character in that episode point out the statistics of child abuse and misconduct among public school teachers was even worse than similar statistics for Catholic clergy???

This is all well and good, right up until the Fed sets interest rates back to zero and now there is no incentive to save your money at all.

Thanks Franklin Roosevelt

My face when capitalism produces higher quality services at a cheaper price 😮

Yep!

Penguins!!!!

What if we told you that yellow slice of the pie was getting proportionally bigger than the other slices? It’s going up alright…

One thing that irks me here that seemingly everyone ignores is that crime started rising after 2014. Overall crime has been rising for almost a decade. According to the FBI the homicide rate was 4.4 ten years ago. As of 2022 it's 6.3. It rose to over 7 before coming back down

Governments are optimised for, well National projects and initiatives and while a lot of them could do a lot more, your support will surely not make it worse so if you can try and help

This is a must-watch for every Kamala Harris voter.

This only works in a fixed system. In 'merica we just keep borrowing to pay off the interest accrued. That 35 trillion reasons to just borrow more X_x

Another reminder. Paying off the principal of your debt is the best and safest investment you can make. By reducing the principal any future interest that can potentially be included is reduced and the over all cost of the loan is lower. The sole exception to this is getting a mortgage on a home, actually paying your housing expenses to a mortgage instead of perpetually renting is obviously an opportunity that should not be passed up these days.

They took his JOB!

Can we just talk about how Russia was banned from the 2024 Olympics, but freaking North Korea was allowed?

I pay off my credit card in full each month. I have been doing so for years. Is that good? I onky use my credit car for gas

lol the banker penguin has the debunker hat and mustache

Penguins are prudent, well usually. Fun financial primer by penguins. 🐧

More money in an economy does not mean more wealth is an economy.

Speaking in terms of basic macroeconomics UBl is stupid.

Maybe a system with a set amount of food and housing that is available for any citizen would be possible. However I don’t know how to control for the future politicians who would turn it into “you vill eat ze bugs, and live in ze pod!”

There should be a slot car lane. Or multiple (slot cars can change lanes and steer nowadays) just make it people sized. Gonna need a strong little rollcage when they tumble. Have em hook together with tech in high speed conga lines during heavy traffic, traffic jam would still exist but the block of vehicles would continue at speed. Maybe way higher speeds than normal vehicles due to the pin holding it into the road. Could have a mod part for say conventional drift cars? Just for fun lol

"we are enacting stricter gun laws so that people that break the law can follow them!"

I call ignoratio elenchi. Having a robust system to protect the underprivileged doesn't preclude the existence of charity and community organization (especially since many such systems encounge such programs). They only way the government can stop people from giving to the poor is either by outright banning it, which no country with welfare has the political will power to do, or by completely eliminating poverty, which is an unrealistic goal.

Socialists want the worker/owner relationship gone altogether, not workers to share in profit of a top down workplace. Whether it be market based or not, the workers have control. Most wouldn't even want to attack smaller businesses so much as big corporations anyway. This is not an own to socialists.

I have mixed feelings about UBI. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if it was used for things that I find abhorrent. The caveat? Get rid of ALL other welfare programs. All of it. You get your stipend. If you waste it, too bad. That's on you. Learn to manage your money.

A summary might be that the poor are twice as rich and the rich are 10 times as rich. Both are richer than they were before.It's just that they grow at different rates.

Where does the money for compounding come from? If 100% of the population put in 100% of the available money, and we had a fixed monetary supply backed by gold, does it compound?

WE MUST MAKE THE GOVERNMENT CANCEL OUR DEBT!

The most outragous thing that makes no sense, is how Ron's group somehow was evenly matched. Seriously, in a fight between the left and right, the right will always win. They tend to stay in shape more, are by far the highest group of people in combat roles, tend to be the people doing construction, tend to be the people who own firearms, have knowledge of survival skills, etc. Meanwhile those people on the left are pretty much mostly know for whining about things they have no knowledge about and screeching their lungs out. It's not a fair fight.

Solution: just build some commie blocks. Any questions or issues I missed?

Also the inflation that would go with this whole system too. People are barely making it now, imagine things shoot up 10 percent more to cover UBI.

Eh my only counter point is to question the longterm effects of robitics replacing the workforce. When there arent enough jobs and work for people a UBI based system could help keep our captilastic system while still enjoying the benefits of automation.

There's a marked difference between being good and being nice. Jesus Himself was often very nice: but read his scorching words to the Pharisees when He told them what they needed to hear. He wasn't nice to them: but He was *good*. The truth is good. Lies, however dressed up, are not.

There is a really high chance that most of your wealth is simply your property and as far as I know property tax is in this case working as a wealth tax. Personally I hate all taxes but you are already paying your wealth tax.
