I mean, it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, ten dollars?”Aug 1, 2018 | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I am stating an educated opinion. No one has to agree. If you wanted me to "prove it" you can't prove a prediction so I'd direct one towards stuff like MS's quarterly earnings report and tell them to note the massive co-pilot sales out of the gate. Then I'd go look at Nvidia's and note how many enterprise AI licenses they've sold direct and through partners. Lastly I'd look at Apache dl trends for Spark. All public info. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
If you were to tax 100% of the stock market, NYSE + NASDAQ, all of it.
You'd get 25% more money than the IRS currently collects.
I'm not sure +25% is gonna cover it, but that would be a huuuuge tax increase. I don't think a carbon tax could possibly be that big and not collapse domestic production, and international carbon taxes aren't gonna fly without being enforced by war, which ain't on the table... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
This doesn’t really track, because the more people who drop out of work, the more bargaining power the remaining workers have, and the higher their wages. There’s no critical spiral, it has a balanced equilibrium position after the shock settles down.
Inflation happens, but that effects workers less than the rising wages do, because the downsides of inflation fall on all consumers (including ubi funded consumers), but the additional profits from the higher demand can be turned into higher wages only for the working fraction of the population. So the income difference between a working lifestyle and a UBI lifestyle grows, rather than shrinks, as the UBI amount grows. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
But what about the billionaires? For god’s sakes, will someone please think of them… | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
More like 33x inflation.
Doubling the money supply and dumping it on the population would be 100% inflation.
We are currently around 3% | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Because its not monetised!
Who's going to pay the relative?
Where does that pay come from?
What productivity does it entail?
How would you measure it?
There's a reason that such work is not included in gdp figures and its exactly the same reason that nobody is going to pay you to do your own laundry. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
My first reaction on reading the title was: how the fuck do they know that?
Seriously. What study, or perusal of the literature, or theory, would be sufficiently vast, penetrative, and methodologically tight to prove such wild claims as are in the title? The "ripple effect" described is ill-depicted and sounds like boiler-plate Keynesianism. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Sure you can. A 3% wealth tax would do wonders for sustaining incomes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

If Mondino isn't the guy to take to a world leaders summit, can't Milei just fire him and name someone better? Or is he not able to fire and appoint ministers? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
The big mistake Argentina committed wasn't the botched neoliberal economic plan implementation by Videla-Martínez de Hoz and Menem-Cavallo, but rather their successor's (Alfonsín for Martínez de Hoz and Kirchner for Menem) quixotic dreams of going back to the Peronist import substitution industrialization (ISI) economic model that won't work in the Argentine economic context because it never had a large internal consumer market to absorb import substitution goods. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
It coincided with the global commodity price boom due to Chinese insatiable demand of Argentine soybeans, that's why there was an illusion that Argentine economy "prospered" in the 2000s, so even if Menem's neoliberal policies like the convertibility law had maintained, Argentina would have still experienced same economic boom in the 2000s due to the global commodity price boom. The end of the global commodity price boom happened during CFK's second term and worsened by the foreign exchange control restrictions imposed by CFK, right after she was reelected in 2011.
The economic "boom" foundations in the 2000s had shaky foundations from the start like the imposition of electricity price controls to subsidize middle to lower-class Kirchnerist voters in the Greater Buenos Aires, rigging key economic statistics like GDP or poverty rates done by Guillermo Moreno, inflating public sector employment at unsustainable levels, banning global beef exports in 2006, and nationalizing AFJP private pensions, Aerolíneas Argentinas, and YPF. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

The fact that you also group people into 'we rightists' and 'you leftists'...
I am for free or affordable healthcare for all, I am for affordable or GOOD education for all, which we don't have here because our teachers earn less than what a ROOM costs in some apartments...
I'm for people being able to live with people who they ARE attracted to regardless of what's in their pants...
Crazy, I know.

Unchecked immigration and migrants who don't obey the law, and do not assimilate into the host culture. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Far right nowadays = Nazis with a better PR team | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I think he means they voted out the party that did not do the actions they wanted (I think immigration reform is one of them, maybe housing idk) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
If you're already okay with racism and xenophobia then of course people saying they won't stand for those sentiments in their government are "making the case." Many people have spoken at length defining how fascitic tendencies are increasingly visible in the Far Right and be very specific on how it shows up in Europe.
It's wild that far-right parties can literally say they want to make their country hostile to foreigners and migrants, that national identity is under threat, that migration should seen as a security threat and invasion, that any problems being faced by the nation-state are the fault of some outside other and their sympathizers who aren't "true" members of the nation.
And then people will still say "How could anyone compare this to fascism?" It's not that people throw the term around too loosely, it's that far-right figures openly adopt the same rhetoric and ideals as historical fascists. They just don't want to be called fascists because it obviously looks bad.
If fascists want to be fascist at what point is it acceptable to simply oppose that? At what point is it okay to simply say the overt racism and xenophobia of far-right parties is bad and should be pushed back against? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Can you explain how this supposedly benefits the elites? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

They just want normal stuff. Like every other country.
No open borders, criminals can't stay, no handouts to people who come illegally... Etc etc
Somehow this is "far right" and they out there to "kill me." Crazy what brainwashing does to people.
I'm also not wrongly assuming anything. I voted "far right" and I'm not gonna kill people of different skin tone. I'm part of it, so I don't have to assume shit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
"Hoist" in that idiom means "lifted", i.e. blown up, by their own petard (bomb).
Not exactly current English usage, but it made perfect sense in Shakespeare's day. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

They did. 70% voted against the far right. Politics doesnt stop after election day, atleast not if you want to have an impact. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
NOW they're demonstrating. Should have voted instead. The old lesson proves true yet again: all that evil needs to win is for good people to do nothing. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Simply not true. There are left wing parties far more radical than the right, with their tired xenophobia.
Politics is unfortunately very easy to influence when you have a lot of money. And it's profitable for the wealthy to blame a boogeyman while maintaining the status quo. It's not called populism for nothing, people LOVE a culture war, anything to feel above someone else.
It's not like any of the right wing governments currently in power in Europe have actually reduced migration, and they never will. The left just don't lie to your face about it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
In democracies people are free to vote as they choose.
And to demonstrate peacefully of course.
Maybe there is a majority of people who appreciate what the “far right” are talking about. Or maybe these very same demonstrators should go and also vote. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
The majority of Europe gave the left the benefit of the doubt.
The left refused to integrate people from WILDLY different cultures into their own.
When the people were unhappy with that, they were shamed and chastised for being "racist".
Only the parties on the right were willing to listen, so people voted for the people willing to listen.
-
Nearly every single one of these scenarios could've been avoided if the reality of the situation was considered by the left, over the ideology.
On paper, "let all our new friends in" looks great, but in practice, the left (often willingly) looked the other way when it came to implementing it.
That's how you get where we are today. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

The irony of that “one state solution” is that it would dilute or eliminate the Jewish vote within Israel to a point that would make Israel no longer a Jewish state.

Yeah it's been very shite, with a decade of the Tories and Brexit. That's why I get so upset when people don't vote against the shit options, because it really sucks living with the consequences!

That's not the point at all. If you were paying attention, there are tons of left-wing voters who are crying about all the problems while desperately trying to find any excuse they can to vote against Biden, just like they did in 2016.

Because most chronically online leftists are clowns. It almost hurts to call myself one because they are fucking dipshits high on their own supply and do nothing but use politics as a way to gatekeep a new friend circle. It's not about politics, it's not about policy, it's all about a social club for them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
From what I've seen in terms of polling number in the UK, as well as experienced living in the UK the past years, is that a lot of younger people were against leaving but a lot of young people didn't vote, naively thinking it wouldn't happen. That said, there was definitely a large group for Brexit, with it being a pretty close 50/50 split. In such cases, differences in voter turnout between the groups can be critical. British people are now starting to lean more towards Brexit being a mistake, but there still isn't a strong overwhelming majority either way. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Yes I agree, but I don’t think it’s because of cancel culture. I think it’s mostly immigration, racism (both contributing to and aside from immigration), economic fallout after COVID, and a few other issues depending on the area. And no, I don’t think everyone is a racist. But I personally know many voting far right where race 100% plays a role, so I’m going to mention it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

I have a friend who is not interested in politics. He was happy ignoring elections and not voting (until trump forced him to start). He never complained about the system or our government. And he never screamed online that voting was a waste of time or that he had some kind of cheat code on life for not voting. He never presented his apathy as something more than it was.
It really irks me when I see folks online victoriously pushing this idea that they are somehow moral, or logical, or otherwise righteous by staying home. And claiming to hate the outcomes they are getting out of the government they couldn’t be bothered to influence. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
No, you're wrong. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I would agree that mass immigration is likely what’s pushing a lot of people over the edge, specifically since it’s super easy to point at as a huge contributor to most of our other problems.
I am personally of the opinion that we should shut our doors until we have our own shit together, and this is a new stance for me. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

~98% of Gazans do not *want* to be Israelis. You can't take people who have been raised on a diet of extreme religion and bizarre conspiracy theories and simply integrate them into a liberal democracy. At best, they will be a disruptive force; at worst, they will bring down the liberal democracy and replace it with something more to their liking, such as a theocracy.
This is the very truth that the European right has been quicker to understand than the European center, which is still enamored of naive 2000s ideals of globalism. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I would say calling what I said meaningless word salad is arrogant. I made points. The previous comment is trying to say I'm just being verbose not saying anythign with substance. I'm saying just because I talk about something at length doesn't mean im being verbose.
I'm earnestly happy to expand on or re-explain any points I made to make clear that what I'm saying is coherent. I'm not going accept someone being reductionist about what I've said and I will criticize them for it. That's not an unfair or arrogant position for me to take. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
