One of their main problems is never thinking correctly in the aggregate. It is "good" and "efficient" for a single isolated company to exploit its pool of labor in this way.

But in the aggregate, it is as self destructive as the paradox of thrift.

With less and less going to more and more people, there become less and less consumers to prop up the machine. And it starts to collapse under its own stinking putrescence.

I've become the same. I'm now that person seeking out more obscure and underrated gems from anywhere in the 30s through the 90s. I hate the thought of all this cultural collateral damage disappearing forever.

Like something straight out of the Flintstones' town of Bedrock.

Absolutely love Aldi. I would be eating largely rice and beans without it.

And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.

Here's a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.

You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a "total fabrication" when there's roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.

I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.

Directly from the article

"To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site."

I'm not personally saying that one building is a city but it's a start.

They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I'm not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.

I remember the EPA inspections when I worked in pest control. They were basically a joke.

My current favorite search engine. Just pick one that's running out of your country or close to it. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

I always find it interesting how they largely just seem to have switched dogmatic stances from some religion to atheism.

The real logical stance is "I do not know if this is true or not because it is unprovable".

They look down on true believers while being true believers in atheism themselves.

Thank you for typing up the reply I hadn't gotten to yet.

You the real MVP

The other person who responded to me made a very all written post but it gets a core assumption completely wrong.

They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen. That's why they think GDP has anything to do with our ability to service debt. But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.

Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation. Spending and back stopping creation of money by private banks through the reserve system comes first. You can't destroy something you haven't created.

It's sad, really. Economists and politicians have blinded everyone with what I think of as "the money delusion".

It doesn't matter if the money can be "gathered up" to be spent on things we need. We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.

The national "debt" is a misnomer. That's the amount of dollars left in circulation that have not been destroyed through taxation, as well as the "dollars" that pay interest which we call bonds.

I'm glad to see at least a handful of other people who understand. Fight the good fight, fellow human.

This.

More people need to understand that the debt of a sovereign nation isn't analogous to that of a household.

Public sector debt is private sector surplus.

As someone with decision paralysis and executive dysfunction issues, this is true for me. I'm probably more than capable of using it for a daily driver but there are 5000 flavors and I will likely never be able to make a solid choice until one is obviously vastly superior in some way I need.

The federal government creates the currency, not the wealthy. We don't need their money. We tax them to destroy their power.

If they won't employ people, sounds like it's time for a federal job guarantee. Let them wither away and die while we rebuild what they've destroyed

Just let me grow the shit in my own place please.

The price I pay for medicinal and recreational weed is way too high for... A literal weed

Gotta love the old "it's society at large's fault" even though they knowingly have let the world burn for their profit as well as suppressed innovation and information that could have helped alleviate our issues.

Oh and literally bribe our government to write laws to make them unaccountable.

Fuck these people. They are monsters.

If they want to have more rights than real people, they should have more accountability and responsibility, not less.

Acts 4:34-36

"For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need."

They mean this Christianity, right???

Trust me. That's all you really need to remember haha.

If you want to see good Spawn from that era, watch the cartoon. That was well done.

He was even, by far, the best thing about the terrible Spawn movie from the 90s. Absolutely love him
