@poladian57260 @RevJaredJones Of all the people we could think of being callous with taxpayer money, the fighter jet pilot crashing it willy nilly in the woods while they are sitting inside might be quite literally be the last one on my list.

@jojo2020 @EricYager4 @MorlockP You are absolutely right. Only that the liability has predictably exceeded the actual inputs, which is why it needs to be subsidized. There is no "leftover" to spend since it os spending beyond its means already, partially because of bs things like the above.

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@jojo2020 @EricYager4 @MorlockP no, you don't understand. "It" does not exist. There isn't an account where all your SS gets collected and then paid out to you, because it has been a rollover current-taxpayer funded scheme from the getgo. Not doing "it" here would mean the fund will run dry slightly later.

@Earth2Ceres @wotancore really goes to show how much of culture is actually just downstream of technology

@mpopv @GeorgeMayer @signulll nvmd, my notion of how much the US spends on medicare/medicaid was orders of magnitude off.
Holy **** those are expensive!

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@mpopv @GeorgeMayer @signulll No, because the math is orders of magnitude off. The cost to push to ~2.1 is easily >50k/child in 2025 $, which means the associated economic cost will make any country non-competitive and thus the expensive children you 'bought' leave for other countries. As is already happening

@diomuarr @ppyowna Your problem is neither can you nor anyone in the humanities.
The problems of science keep getting solved and we progress, you don't.

@PunditBear @wwwojtekk What is the answer to JD's question?

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@PunditBear @wwwojtekk What is the answer to JD's question? Did he say thank you once?
No,
he said it more than once. A lot. In fact even in that same conversation.

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@wwwojtekk Especially since he very much did. A lot. Including in this very conversation.

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@IAPonomarenko Does that create a (further) fincancial interest for the US in Ukrainian success?
(also it feels like all his foreign policy moves roughly follow this kind of MO)

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@agraybee It seems the nationalism in their cause really goes all the way, viewing other nations as default opponents. Even in the case of well connected, culturally similar, in fact ridiculously identical countries like Canada

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@wwwojtekk As if the people who witnessed the Russian column getting stuck on their way towards Kyiv wasn't alive anymore or something.

@WarMonitor3 This plurality coloration system by county is already unnecessarily obfuscating election result details in first-past-the-post systems, it is outright disingenuous to use it for parliamentary democracies.
The blue and black combined didn't even get 50% of the total votes.

@betweenall28217 @simonmaechling No, I meant your argument is technically true, yet doesn't address what it is rersponding to.
In fact your analogy, when applied to what you were responding to, actually makes the case for him.
(I'm not gonna try to guess how you mean to define "artificially changed electrons")

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@betweenall28217 @simonmaechling Technically true, yet what he is saying is the inverse of your analogy. He is saying to demand a ban on a general descriptor that is omnipresent in nature, i.e. it would be like demanding to ban electrons.
Of course as for any new med tech general safety should be established.

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@simonmaechling I am so fascinated by the fact that, even though the often predicted mass symptom onset of the "vaxxed" has yet to occur anywhere on this planet, this dead-end meme is going so strong. Must be what being an early developer of GMOs or nuclear energy must've felt like.

[Raphael Haslecker @RHaslecker]

@DavidSHolz Hmmm, the people at the forefront of AI research act and invest the way someone would, who doesn't actually believe we are close to a singularity transforming all of human existence ... WHAT COULD IT MEAN!?!
