APT + ISO 20022
Our economic system is insolvent. To service our debts and unfunded liabilities requires growth that our demographics cannot support and that our politicians cannot create. The result will be hyper-inflation and collapse.
There is an alternative. We dont need to tax productivity, consumption or wealth.
By adopting APT + ISO20022, we can implement a frictionless & victimless levy against transactions.
We can eliminate every other form of tax, while funding public services in real-time at reduced cost and eliminating budget deficits & national debts.
Everything we need to do this already exists. Everyone we need to do this is already in post. We just need to implement it.
📈 According to the government's own figures, there is a real risk of default on the horizon. That means pensions, UC, disability benefits.
🗽 This is the biggest story no one is talking about 👇
Given the frequency of these 'devastating' attacks and Russia's continued existence, perhaps we need to reconsider the use of 'devastating' as a description of these attacks?
"Most people who own Bitcoin are losing money"
Everyone who owns money are losing money.
The value of bitcoin has always been in its decentralised and finite supply, not in its price.
Money is not an investment.
All of the price forecasts for Bitcoin assume demand rises. But why should it? Most people who own Bitcoin are losing money. When investors in Bitcoin get tired of losing money demand for Bitcoin should decline. If Bitcoin is going down, why would people who don't own it buy any?
@clarkaw A homo-normative society wouldn't last long enough to earn the label 'society'.
It is quite clearly an inferior model comapred to hetero-normative.
Applying just a smidgen of logic to this nonsense:
A hetero-normative society has the elements required to perpetuate itself through history, to be called a society.
A homo-normative society would be gone in 1 generation.
So yes, please let's not forget the basic righteousness of #AnnWiddecombe's position.
The 'fun' thing about Simulation Theory is that, even though proposed as a rational, scientific take on existence, there is ample room within it for every other religion's creation theory to be true, along with every 'conspiracy theory', every delusion, every everything...
In reality, its just post-modernism but with extra steps i.e not rational or scientific in any way at all.
A Russian military assault on any NATO country would initiate a NATO military, and potentially nuclear, response.
However crazy anyone thinks Putin is, the "!Russians!" pushers are at least as insane.
@FreeThinkingUK@afneil Here you go. Surprised Andrew hasn’t corrected this yet. I was shown to be correct two days later and again yesterday. The original story was not “poorly sourced” but dead on accurate. https://t.co/lgubCJwthW
No. Born in poverty & irreverently apolitical, Screaming Lord Sutch followed the proud tradition of British satire. BBC Oxbridge metro-jester & leftablishment drone Jon Harvey follows the long tradition of British snobbery. Voters know the difference btwn. being humored & mocked.
With $13Million at age 55 using historical S&P 500 averages, you could withdraw $1,249,000 annually over 45 years.
This would deplete the account to $0 at aged 100.
Or you could take less and leave your kids with a healthy balance.
If you can choose where to work, work somewhere that will help invest in your Trump account. $5k/yr will leave you with $13M at 55. Sorry, but that’s a huge amount of money.
If you have this choice but don’t want that because it’s called a “Trump Account”, you’re a retard.
100% irresponsible retard.
That’s your kids speaking btw.
I have spoken to the CEO of Tendring District Council. Reform has offered to cover the cost of the by-election.
I will be writing to Rachel Reeves later today with the same message.
Given that we asked for this by-election in the first place, it’s only right that we pay for it.
Never seen a whole England team put themselves on the line like that.
The occassional player here and there, Terry Butcher vibes... but never the whole team leaving it all on the pitch.
That's how it's supposed to be.
Kudos @England
"an extraordinary feat for the time"
It was an ordinary feat for the time.
The extraordinary thing is that we could do this and so much more today in the same time, and we don't.
In 1851, England built what was then the largest glass building on Earth.
The Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton for the Great Exhibition. Made from prefabricated iron and glass, it covered 19 acres and was erected in just nine months, an extraordinary feat for the time.
After the exhibition it was dismantled, moved to South London and rebuilt even larger on Sydenham Hill.
It stood there for more than 80 years before being destroyed by fire in 1936. The surrounding area still carries its name: Crystal Palace.
One of the greatest engineering achievements of Victorian England no longer exists.
If as a 'Progressive' or as an Anarchist (a real one, not a larping Commie) you are struggling with the state of the US right now, just remember that the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution represent the most progressive and anarchic political statements in history that became the founding principles of a viable nation.
Lenin praised the Revolutionary War
Bakunin blessed the USA, writing:
"the most imperfect republic is a thousand times better than the most enlightened monarchy". He added that the United States and Britain were the "only two great countries" where the people possessed genuine "liberty and political power", even "the most disinherited and miserable foreigners".
Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:
“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."
