@brotkasttv I am so tired of the cost of negotiation being an issue. When we fund political parties in the amount of 700 million per year. 50 million a year in private drivers for certain politicians. So much waste. So the it's going to cost a lot argument does not hold water for me.

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@Steinr59478183 @jj381 Maybe. You might be absolutely right. But in my view it does not hurt at all to see what the finial deal looks like. Then it's not about taking someone's word for it. It's in black and white. If they come back and say no exceptions then it is easier to make the decision.

@flamptiton I think I would fall into the left wing in the political sense but I have no issue with anyone getting rid of RUV. I

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@konradgudjons As I am no expert at all. And Fall into the yes maybe camp. I will vote yes on 29 so I can read for myself the deal and make an educated decision. But those starting interest rates of those other countries. How does their starting interest rate compare to our current one?

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@Steinr59478183 @jj381 That may very well be the case. But it's why I am voting Yes on the 29th. I want to read exactly what the deal is in black and white. Then decide what is the best move for Iceland is.

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@jj381 I can see how you can make the argument work. Government funding mostly comes from personal income tax. About 39%. 32% comes from goods and services VAT. 9% from corporate income tax. So I would say the money comes from the people.

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@ORGrimsson Maybe you can explain why it is a bad thing to have all the information on the full deal before we make a decision. The whole it's a waste of money is not enough for me. We waste so much money here now and no one is trying to stop that. When is having the facts a bad thing?

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@FaithStorey @elonmusk I agree but I think you are being short sighted by saying the left. The honest truth is that the left and the right do exactly the same thing. Both sides pay the respective media platforms to pass lies as the truth. It is why it's important to research the information yourself.

@ICPRWPB As both a member and former president of Texas Students Against the Death Penalty I have to say this has to stop. Thid practice has been proven repeatedly not to have any effect on reducing the crime rate. Not to mention the likely situation that innocent people have died.

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@solitarywatch Having spent more then 15 days in Solitary Confinement in Texas as a small child. The effects last a life time. It is something you never get over. Time and time again I ask why this is still a practice used in general but especially for children. It is nothing more then torturer

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

@ORGrimsson @samirsaran @orfonline @_Arctic_Circle @realDonaldTrump But based on your experience both politically and with general geo political knowledge is it even something that should be taken serious. I mean is it even a possibility or is it all just bluster on his part.

[Aron @Aron_Reform]

Why is building new prisons always the answer. The are other alternatives then just building prison. Cheaper more effective alternatives.

I want to take the time to recommend everyone to take the time to watch an amazing new documentary #STRIKEFORCE. It gives a detailed look at solitary confinement, it's effects, and the fight to be free of it.

@BehizyTweets Here is my issue with this. Does that not give America a reason to involve itself in the war. At some point someone can say we are send in American troops to protect our investment. Then you have an even bigger situation. It concerns me a bit.

Solitary confinement on juveniles is harmful, stunting growth and causing psychological damage. It's time for a change! #SolitaryConfinement #JuvenileJustice #ReformNow #kids #iceland #UnitedStates

I do not understand the since of entitlement that they believe they have to this room. A sit in. This is the battle you want to pick. How about fighting for things that matter to us Icelanders. It's not your room or theirs. It's ours the Icelandic people's

"Iceland should focus on rehabilitation and support for young offenders rather than creating a juvenile prison system. Investing in education and community programs can lead to better outcomes for our youth. #NoJuvenilePrisons #SupportOurYouth #iceland #Samfylkingin #vedreisn #xf

Iceland has a new government coalition today. 3 parties. The head of each party is a woman. The new elected president is a woman. 7 minister of the 11 ministries will be ran by woman. I honestly feel hopeful on what the future might look like here in Iceland. #valkyrae #iceland
