I am not interested in observing further developments in this shit show. There is too much drama and nonsense and I don't want to lose any brain cells. If you want to know more of the story, follow Murdered By Crayons on Twitter/X. He is the best source of information on the Tate saga and covering all this with integrity long before this was a thing. Even all of my reporting came from reading his post on Twitter/X. Here is the link to his profile. He will keep you updated. Follow him on X. https://twitter.com/CrayonMurders -
Generally speaking, go for college only if you are interested in research. Not just for the sake of a degree. For skill based jobs, you mostly don't need college with a few exceptions like Doctors, Lawyers etc. So see for yourself if you actually get value from college. The chances are that you working on yourself for those 4 years could yield greater returns. Exception apply to all these. Make an evaluation taking all these into account.

I totally agree. But you don't need them to "pay" for things of common good. The government can simply fund things like it always did. Government just prints money and funds things. Think about how did American finance the invasion of Iraq. They simply didn't need anyone to pay for it even though it costs 2T. Likewise you don't need the rich to pay for things of common good. That's an additional unnecessary hurdle you are getting infront of things of common good. You certainly don't need anyone to pay for it.

Don't think in terms of inequality. Think in terms of absolute wealth. USA has been phenomenal in building absolute wealth. The inequality is a feature of building astronomical wealth. I am not promoting inequality, but inequality will always be there in all societies regardless. Is US is so unequal, why are people flocking to move to US from almost all places in the world. Since that's the system that gives everyone the most opportunities for wealth. Even I used to purport the idea of a wealth tax. But there are so much obvious problems with it. Then I realised that it's impractical and politicians are merely paying lip service to it.

Standing desk is good enough. Walking/treadmill desk is a waste of time. Walking is good for contemplation. Not for serious work. But standing is excellent for focused work. So get a desk that's height adjustable. Well worth it.

You will not reduce inequality by taxing the rich. It's mindbogglingly hard to implement and it's yet to see if it will seriously reduce inequality in the long term. The rich will keep getting richer and that's how the system is designed. You need to simply change that system by turning the right knobs. Taking away some money from the rich is akin to throwing money at a problem and expecting it to solve everything. There are far more creative and tangible ways to reduce inequality. When you implement those policies you start to face real resistance. Even Nanci pelosi, Bill Gates and Buffet advocate for tax the rich policies because they know that this is a dead horse. Nothing good will come out of it. It's not an easy problem to solve and it requires you find a solution that hit it at the root. Tax the rich is not one of those solutions. It may be the fifth best solution to reduce inequality which comes at a huge cost of administration.

Nope. Not necessarily. They can just print money and put it in your account. Or just increase the number on your bank account electronically. They are just numbers on a screen. You can choose to increase the tax rates although that has nothing to do with UBI. -

When you have a million followers you are also bound to have some shit heads following you. Every individual has autonomy over their own life. We are not in some communist hell hole. -

If multiple countries are determined to get him jailed, then he clearly did not win. He will have to face the consequences of his actions. His life right now is the worst hell for him with the possibility that it could get worse any time. Not the life you want to live. I can say all this without denying the message he speaks. But what he speaks does not make him who he is. His actions tell a different tale. -

People need a shelter to live. That needs to be guaranteed somehow or at least made available at affordable rates. Until then all talk of UBI is frivolous. -
Bobby_2021 replied to martins name's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
The main risk of UBI is not people not being productive enough. The productive people who receive UBI will put enough value into the economy far more than few people who are going to be unproductive. So it will be a net productivity gain for society. The problem is not with the funding either. The real problem is the systemic issues plaguing society. You cannot throw money at them and expect all to go well. For example if everyone is getting UBI then the rent will also be higher. So the UBI will go to the landlord's pocket. So you have to solve the housing crisis first to not let the UBI money go to waste. Also the homeless people would rather spend it on drugs since they don't have anything better to do. Likewise the inflation might also be higher. This is especially the case for demand driven inflation. Capitalists will simply ask for more for products and services since they know that people have an extra disposable income they can use. So I say we should fix these basic issues first before jumping on to UBI. We should experiment this starting from the bottom section of the society. If it's not done strategically it will miserably fail. -

That's totally okay. The message is different from the messenger. You can agree with what he is saying and still agree that he be punished for all the wrongdoings. Which has already happened to be frank. He is looking at years of legal proceedings and confined to close observations from police while his income streams are drying up. He did crimes wherever he went. So it's natural that the consequences keep following him. There is plenty of grounds for the USA to arrest him as well. π He is a blabber mouth. π -

Can't disagree with that. -
Start with maps and countries. Check their system of governments, population, economy, location, climate, language etc. It's fun to learn.

What do you mean? His life is wrecked. He wouldn't even have to be extradited to the Uk. Don't worry. He will serve prison time in Romania itself. And it will take time. I am not saying it will happen tomorrow or even this year. It will take time. -
ππBest of luck my guy.

We already saw how competent the first world legal systems are. The UK had their chance and did nothing. I have more trust in Romania all day any day. It's a blank generalization that third world system are corrupt from head to toe. These alphabet agencies are a whole different beast altogether. They are competent although slow moving. But once they get their grip on you, they won't go back till they see blood. ------------ -

Oh he has to finish the trial in Romania first as per this report. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/12/1238086900/andrew-tate-arrested-romania-to-extradite-uk https://x.com/mirceabarbu/status/1767599458479391068?s=20 So that's clear. The extradition will take place only After finishing all the proceedings in Romania. That's better. His transgressions in the UK dates from 2012-15. Their police did nothing during that time and now they are suddenly up on their feet. For what? Romanian top police agency is doing their job well. And the transgressions in Romania dates 2016-22. All this means that he would have to go back to UK if is he is acquitted from the Romanian court. Not the other way around. ----- Note to self: Whenever you hear a news you first have to verify the Truth of the matter before reacting to it. You can only bribe the local police. He isn't rich enough to bribe the biggest agency in Romania. You can only bribe people who are at or below your level. There is no way he could bribe DIICOT other than in his dreams. -

They will support you as long as you are willing to be a doormat and let those people wreck Israeli citizens. The moment you take control of the situation to stop this bullshit, they hate you. Western liberals in a nut shell. -
Bobby_2021 replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Cool. That doesn't make me wrong anyway and even it was that doesn't do anything to refute my larger point. Why would I need to be Israeli to say all this? How does that come about? π US was pretty much invested in the Saudi conflict. They were backing saudi like they are doing Israel right now, even though Biden pulled out of it in 2021. Still they didn't get any large flack for it. So you do agree that the media & public outcry about Israel has to do with the state of political division within your own country rather than the humanitarian crisis that's actually going on in gaza. Media is using the humanitarian crisis for political gain. That's even more despicable.
