@WarMonitor3 The paradox of the incompetent West conning a somehow uber competent Putin to totally annihilate his economy and own people; while simultaneously being in control and playing 4D chess...

@RpsAgainstTrump Can't have a trade deficit, if we don't trade

@RpsAgainstTrump What a refreshing moment of introspection.

@thinkabouditt @jeremyct Two points, but appreciate the example. First, the claim doesn't argue in favor or against a wealth tax. Second, it is in fact very hard to describe income versus wealth accretion for the ultra wealthy, this is in fact the point I'm making.

[luis @6C756973]

@thinkabouditt @jeremyct I think that's a fair clarification. Here is then where myself and others would argue that, at the limit of the ultra-wealthy, this behavior ceases to be investment activity and becomes a byproduct of how they earn ordinary income.

[luis @6C756973]

@thinkabouditt @jeremyct Do we meant a legal or semantic definition? I would posit that if we're arguing semantics then we've lost the plot. There's a reason why the word "effective" was omitted. I would suggest a query to a well known model service for more info, thanks!

The replies to the post below are the most illuminating in terms of which accounts are taking advantage of repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act, which previously prohibited the U.S. government from using propaganda on our own citizens. They’re State Department damage control accounts.

Any loss of human life is heartbreaking, especially when it is taken by war or a natural disaster. In Ukraine, we are closely following the reports about the earthquake in Japan. We extend our deepest condolences to Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae and to the people of Japan. Wishing a swift recovery to everyone who was injured and strength to all the affected communities.

Spanish speaking countries have two options and only two

Option one: start acting like a bloc. I'm not talking about becoming one single country, or building a new empire; this is not about nobody ruling anybody

But we could have separate sovereign states that actually coordinate. Trade, capital, universities, media, movement of people...

Option two: irrelevance, permanently

Because look at what we have right now

Spain is a mid-sized member of a union where the real decisions get made in Berlin and Brussels. Spain shows up to be informed of the outcome, and keeps being treated as the holiday resort of Europe

Latin America has been in Washington's back garden for over a century and gets treated accordingly. Sometimes gently... but most often not

600 million people. The second most spoken native language on earth. The same legal tradition, the same religion, the same humour, the same way of arguing at a dinner table...

And collectively we carry less weight in the world than one country of 80 million that speaks German

That isn't bad luck but a choice we keep making every decade

Every empire that has ever dealt with us understood the thing we refuse to admit: twenty weak countries that don't talk to each other are far easier to manage than one bloc that does

Neither Brussels nor Washington wants this to happen

That should tell you enough about whether it's a good idea
