I remember when Gears came out - it was made as a playable movie, and they did it well because it had a story line with characters we were invested in. Character deaths sucked, it was engaging, and it was unpredictable but comfortable.

Nothing wrong with the movie format, but you've got to tell the story.

Great, new game to try. Love me some quality time sinks.

Fully agree on graphics- I want to enjoy a game, graphics are only a component of that, and its not necessarily hyper realistic.

The SDG has been a failure.

It was a great idea, would have taken a significant step in the right direction, and created 12 trillion in global GDP.

But people suck.

Get polarized lenses

I say go for it.

Go on Trump, walk down to Panama, pick it up and bring it back to the USA.

Or are you making threats again that you don't have to follow through?

To the surprise of no one

To be fair I'm not actually sure how incorrect that actually could be.

I think we established already that doesn't matter. Oh wait, woman - matters now for some reason.

And orange hitler while you are at it.

I think its your turn to pony up some evidence to support your claims - manipulating GDP to offset inflation is done by virtually every country. You disagree, and state that other economic theory disagrees. What ones, and where was it applied?

The fact I can show you the two key economic laws that address inflation, and the effects that a triple digit inflation rate has on a country and its population, and that you consider that not evidence tells me you are about 6 weeks of tertiary education short of knowing what you are actually talking about. I can link you the damn text book if thats good enough evidence, but I doubt that you would consider an internationally recognized and developed, peer reviewed document as evidence.

For the record - im not calling you stupid or uneducated. I suspect you actually give a shit about people and are blinded to the fact that reality doesn't give a shit about feelings and being nice. You're argument is the same as saying that a starving population shouldn't be made to work a fallow farm to feed themselves and others because its putting more pressure on them. They will starve regardless - but this gives a way out.

I cant, because it didn't happen (these ideas were implemented) and therefore its evidence of poverty increasing by not putting them in place doesn't exist.

What I can give you is the known and proven link between between income, spending, GDP and inflation, which is a combination of Okuns law and the Phillips curve. Both of which have been used by pretty much every country to control inflation since the Great depression- which happened because these wernt known and applied.

Pretty sure you could agree he had a personal grudge as well

Because those will end up in poverty regardless - either due to disinflation measures or due to inflation when we do nothing.

Big difference with the disinflation measures is that these an end point.

Jealous of dog

And the senate

And a certain expensive building in Florida....

Not the person your debating with, and normally I agree with the famous Mr Squid.

In this case I disagree - im not fully knowledgeable on Argentina specifically, just economic application. The problem with inflation is that it harms your entire population - and its horrific when its out of control. 60% poverty (don't know if this is total, increase or increases since these measures came out, very different discussions) is easily obtainable when a significant amount of your population are already close to the poverty line and even a small change comes into effect.

Regarding the cost of human lives, and assuming he's not Trump levels of econ knowledge, its a balance between putting this 60% in poverty now to get a handle on inflation now, or that 60% in poverty due to inflation indefinitely until you put them and more people in poverty.

Anything that increases government spending, including social support services, infrastructure spending, unemployment support would increase GDP and work directly against disinflation measures.

Its cold, it sucks, but the logic and theory are there. Sometimes the best thing you can do is cause the least long term harm.

First, I fully agree the super wealthy need to pay more tax - let's not get in the way of that.

Redistribution of wealth would only drive up inflation, not actually fixing the problem of inflation v incomes. Basic supply and demand equilibrium - incomes increase, quantity demanded increases (price goes up), new suppliers enter market to meet this new demand that are willing to accept this higher price.. Higher prices and quantity supplied.

Giving everyone more money to buy food doesn't magically create space for new farms, especially not in the short term.

It's why inflation sucks soo much.

The only realistic way to make it so you can keep affording to buy something is to make it so alot of people can't afford anything for now.

Who downvoted you? We can't all escape our responsibilities for 3 hours, or enough to work everything at a strict schedule.

Yeah, this is bad advice for a comp level, or optimal progress, but for 99% of people the habit of going and doing something is orders of magnitude better than finding every excuse not to go that day.
