I think what they think is that citizens have bad judgement, so it ends in Maoist policies that sound good but ignore negative externalities. The tragedy of the commons is inevitable is their view.

21·10 months agoI do agree with all of your comment. I am left wondering if this is just the end result of fiat currency debasement, leading to decades of debt accrual, and now higher interest rates due to aging global demographics; a phenomenon most central banks have publications on.
Which is something Ray Dalio talks a lot about, maybe this populism and divide is just a symptom of a larger problem. Germany does do unsustainable immigration to help deal with their aging demographics, which could easily lead to unequal asset price inflation and then nationalism/xenophobia.
Then obviously CBDC and an attempt to perform financial repression, since financializing housing to derive new money supply to grow aggregate demand won’t work any more.

41·10 months agoThere is a lot of unelected entities persuading governments. Germany for instance was going green with solar and wind as their central bank shut down pro carbon funding, yet they imported Russian energy as a backstop as they shut down their nuclear reactors.
That kind of unelected Davos influence can cause permanent harm to a country, as their energy prices are 3 times higher than the US now as they burn lignite, leading to deindustrialization as they try to compete with China in EV. They also want to censor climate misinformation, as they attempt to put in censorship laws.

They are also rushing in the CBDC for October, when they created laws telling corporations to track their emissions its pretty clear where that’s headed as far as carbon quotas.

14·11 months agoWhat system is it you want for illegal immigrants?
What in your non-bigot view should be happening to them and why?
I tend to believe in a highly progressive tax system as a social safety net, a minimum income for instance, so I do tend to prefer tighter immigration. I also dislike cheap labor that debases salaries and working conditions.
Its a Galbreth quote.

110·11 months agoWell I think the problem is some are really bad, like the interrogations of journalists, but then you see things like “Trump proclamation bars immigrants who cannot pay for healthcare”.
Its these latter ones really muddying the water, and I assume people write it all off as hyberbole.

Can you provide a link, or an idea what you’re talking about, any kind of context to deduce it.

Haha my feelings exactly, I can work in Linux cli and program rust with ease, but I can’t copy and paste on an iPhone.

They said the same thing about every Republican as what they say about Trump. If you live your entire life in hyperbole people get desensitized.
