@grahamlebel @mattyglesias How could a monopoly that was illegal to compete with be held accountable and not be a corruption magnet?

@BenParkerReilly @politicalmath @N65Michelle The water flowing through the Mississippi in the south is the huge cumulative output of the entire watershed, hardly just the water from the headwaters in Minnesota. As you surely know, there are an enormous number of tributaries from like more than half the states.

@PiotrRetardo @Anthony__Koch How does that counteract his point in any way?

@EllechugaRandom @fedtanyl @_Credible_Hulk > I'm not saying money could fix every problem

Then you had no point. Also you do not understand the difference between money and wealth.

@EllechugaRandom @_Credible_Hulk Who would buy the stocks?

[Joseph Blaine @JBlaineIntel]

@guyfelicella Wealth and money (dollars) are different things

@actingliketommy Do you believe a free market economy should be permitted to exist?

@itcamefromthed @EricDLombardi You really really need to look how successful countries deliver health care. Urgent care centres are awesome when done right and are not just emergency rooms at all.

@aljhlester @JamesHeartfield @ShipleyWrites But the meaning of the word is *not* being meaningfully contested by anyone but cranks (well-funded cranks but cranks nonetheless.) Words don't actually change meaning from top-down. You phrasing implies a non-existent organic process.

When were these founded or re-opened? And what is their purpose?

@jas_murphy98358 @howardanglin How about we start with healthcare similar to the best performing European countries?

@MobyDickSpoiler @MakeUSAVAT This new fund is not funded by royalties and is not funded by surpluses. It will not invest solely outside of Canada with the goal of not distorting the Canadian economy. It will invest only in Canada in hand-picked projects.

How is this fund like Norway's in any way?

@MobyDickSpoiler @MakeUSAVAT How is this fund like Norway's in any way?

Norway's famous fund is funded from surpluses. It was founded in 1990 but the 1st substantial contribution was not until 1996 based off of the 1995 surplus. The entire system is based off of surpluses and deficits.

@p_crosland @JJ_McCullough What soldiers?

[Joseph Blaine @JBlaineIntel]

@p_crosland @JJ_McCullough How could "we" have done that?

[Joseph Blaine @JBlaineIntel]

@p_crosland @JJ_McCullough Huh? How could "we" have finished the job in 1812?

[Joseph Blaine @JBlaineIntel]

@camus_absurd @CherylHoste @stephenfgordon Norway does not have net debt at all. Its assets far exceed its liabilities. Funds for the Norwegian fund come out of surpluses.

[Joseph Blaine @JBlaineIntel]

@FullyAlexD @MattSpoke Well the lazy thing is to use "Sovereign Wealth Fund" cynically when you know everyone will think Norway. When we simply cannot do that.

Norway's fund sat practically empty for 5 years until they had the first surplus year to make a contribution.
