- Comment on London police defy ban on badges linked to far right and white supremacy 1 year ago:
My point was only that the phrase is used widely in the United States.
- Comment on London police defy ban on badges linked to far right and white supremacy 1 year ago:
In July, the force’s chief, Mark Rowley, banned officers from wearing the “thin blue line” badge saying that in the US an equivalent symbol had been used by “hard-right groups”.
The hard-right group known as “law enforcement”.

I was expecting this.

It’s good to get things out there sometimes.

Sure. It’s cathartic.

is the purpose just to shout your opinions into the void?
I don’t know if that is its purpose, but that is how it is used.

Well, that is smart.
- Comment on How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him? 1 year ago:
The bums that got us to where we are today keep getting re-elected. That makes no sense to me.

this former president is nothing short of a cult leader with millions of unshakable followers, many of whom are armed to the teeth and ready to burn this country to the ground for him
They didn’t show up for the last coup, and I don’t think he’s gonna have another one.

US politics used to seemed so simple until to understand this man came along.
The more you learn about US politics, the less sense it makes.
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 1 year ago:
They explain exactly what the site was created for, though the post was not present 10 months ago. I’m not sure if I know enough about economics to understand whether they believe what Kochevnik81 was guessing they believe, that the getting off the good standard was bad for the economy.

What drove you to create the site? What has been the most surprising outcome?
The inspiration for creating the website was born out of pragmatism. That is to say, the data was collected with the a priori assumption that abandoning the Bretton Woods agreement lent an unprecedented and unaccountable agency to nation states (particularly the United States thanks to the US dollar’s position as a global reserve currency) in their ability to expand money and credit.
The Austrian position upon which our a priori assumptions are based is as follows:
- That expansion of money and credit sends artificial signals to the market which breed malinvestment leading to an ultimate deflationary credit & money contraction when the malinvestment liquidates(Austrian business cycle theory).
- Nation States (and particularly the United States) have an unfair advantage over capital markets in their ability to unilaterally capture seigniorage through the issue of new currency while simultaneously debasing the real value of their debt and liabilities as the nominal supply of money increases.
- Point 2 leads to a top down redistribution of productive capital accumulated by private industry to the public sector which is often redirected to frivolous and/or unprofitable ventures.
The pragmatic usefulness of the website (for me personally) was merely having the data all in one place where I could simply refer a person to the data to quickly and easily demonstrate the many downstream effects of fiscal and monetary expansion (as based on the Austrian positions I outlined above).
The idea to turn it into a meme rather than a financial blog (or something of that kind) was born out of a desire to foster a reaction of socratic self discovery in the viewer. It is far more important to me that the viewer walk away with the right question rather than with what I believe is the right answer…What the F*** happened in 1971?

less strict food safety laws
I mean, you can’t even make cheese with raw milk in America, but other than that
- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 1 year ago:
There are really two whine different Americas.
I think autocorrect did something there…

I don’t know whether they can see it in the bottom line yet, but the quality of Reddit has been in decline for some time now.
- Comment on Why does “come here” bother me so much? 1 year ago:
That is the reason it bothers you so much.
- Comment on Next Battlefield Is A "Reimagination" Of The Series 1 year ago:
It is clear Battlefield just has no place in modern gaming.
The niche Battlefield fit into did not disappear. Rather, the company/publisher/developer just pissed away so much goodwill with how poorly they handled BF V. They destroyed their playerbase with their behavior.

There’s a reason why best gore and live leak don’t exist anymore.
What about medizzy.com and xgore.net?
