  • History started on February 2022 for Russia and Ukraine and October 7th for Israel and Palestine.

  • The real budget will end up being a fraction of what's needed and most of that'll end up in capitalist pockets.

    I see every bourgeois media outlet whine about how "expensive" nuclear is. I see others worrying about electricity prices dropping so low it won't be profitable for the capitalists.

  • They are sound finance deficit hawks, it's not happening.

  • nuts

  • Hey, humans put those tags on sheep. Republicans do it to themselves.

  • i hate all tech corps. you can use (and even like) their products and also think they are evil, oligopolies and all.

    i cant abandon my gmail because i don't even know how many sites and how many people i have given it to. i like youtube because it's THE slop factory. Maps is also pretty good, love Street View, Chrome is 'ok' but Firefox is a perfectly usable (and in many ways, better) substitute (especially given Google's ad shenanigans).

  • "Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it."

    unlike EU-corporate products

  • An organization can, therefore, not forbid people who want to participate to express themselves. It is unacceptable that people who want to carry a flag should not be allowed to do so

    Nazi flags are alright then?

    The Israeli flag should be kept in the same category as the Nazi flag tbh.

  • “The most immediate risk is a financial crisis and France’s economic decline,” he said. “The application of the New Popular Front’s disruptive programme would destroy the results of the policies that we have pursued for seven years … This project is exorbitant, ineffective and dated. Its legitimacy is weak and circumstantial. It must not be applied.”

    “Several economic and fiscal measures put forward by the New Popular Front are either unconstitutional or against EU rules, so very legally challenging.

    A wealth tax doesn't have much impact on real production. It is money hoarded and not being used for anything. I have doubts on its efficacy since France is in the EU and the capital flows are open, they have no control over the Euro. Which is why they'll likely need to leave the Eurozone before doing anything 'radical'.

    With the capitalist pulling money out of France and taxes staying uncollected, the only way for them to fund their new welfare plans is with bond issuance (assuming the markets still want French Euro bonds). which EU rules limit to 3%, so not possible at all.

    Remember what they did to Greece

  • Yea and why cryptocurrency isn't money with its exchange rate being determined by how much fiat currencies are entering and exiting.

  • OK, two cryptocurrencies as legal tender. My point still stands. If you give people a choice between crypto and fiat they will use fiat, even if it's a foreign currency like the Dollar in El Salvador.

    The solution for El Salvador or any other country using a foreign currency isn't to go with another foreign "currency" like Bitcoin but building their own currency.

    El Salvador had their own currency until they gave it up because their leader back then was a US Puppet.

  • Sole legal tender.

    Edit: I dare them to pay all Government employees in Bitcoin, demand taxes be paid in Bitcoin. It would be a funny experiment if it weren't for mass unemployment and deaths that arise out of a recession.

    It would be funny trade wise too. No other country is going to accept Bitcoin as payment for real goods and services. So, the country will have to convert Bitcoin to USD at market price (which can swing wildly) and also hope the market has enough liquidity to handle it.

  • money has to be backed by the state so if bitcoiners really want bitcoin to be used in everyday transactions, i would suggest running for President and replacing U.S. Dollar with Bitcoin for tax payments/legal tender.

    how will the state obtain Bitcoins? by building massive resource wasting mining farms which itll have to issue bitcoin bonds to build, making the state subservient to the private bond markets and interest rate it demands, Greek style.

    there is massive plague and the economy has collapsed? what will the state do? cant give people money or increase healthcare spending because the capacity of the state to mobilize resources is now limited by what the private sector is willing to give it or how much it can mine. oops mass death.

    bitcoiners have to be dumbest creatures alive. these people can't imagine a pro-Worker Government so they have to come up with convoluted ways to tie the hands of the state so it cant give capitalists free money.

  • Ukraine's allegations included unlawful detentions, ill-treatment of civilians, and the suppression of the Ukrainian media and the Ukrainian language in schools.

    Yeah Ukraine never did that.
