@ezraklein Much of the talk coming out of WelcomeFest seems counter to your vision of Abundance and seemed like more of an excuse to enact conservative policy without any indication that they want to build anything to help those who need it. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
@KyleKulinski@ezraklein If Klein wants the kind of Abundance he's talked about in his interviews and the book, then he should absolutely criticize what's coming out of WelcomeFest as much of it doesn't seem in line with his vision of Abundance. It seems more a way to achieve conservative policies.
@BasicMountain@mechalink I would have y'all on in the background while I was playing The Witcher 3 and would take out my earbud when I needed to listen to the story stuff in the game.
@BloatMcQueen@liliaeth@Captain_C2@RichRaho It's fine if you want to believe this, but it's definitely not the teachings of Christ. Christ's teachings were very radical because it required individuals to give themselves completely to the service of others. Many Christians simply don't want to accept this.
@JTHeppy@Peaked1nterest@EmmaVigeland The US printed a lot of money in the 1980s. Reagan dramatically increased the deficit during his tenure in office just like Bush II did after Clinton balanced the budget.
@1Ark4humanity @sentinelonwall@esaagar ... andInternational demand has decreased for a variety of reasons. However, many nations now will probably be more willing to import more Chinese goods because of Trump starting a trade war. The UK has already started warming up towards China again.
@1Ark4humanity @sentinelonwall@esaagar This isn't exactly true. One of China's biggest problems is domestic demand because their government deliberately keeps their population poor so they can keep labor costs down. Many Chinese industries are struggling because their population can't afford the products...
@StewMama71@ArmandDoma@esaagar You think leftist economists have been the ones doing studies on tariffs? The vast majority of these studies have been performed by neoliberal or conservative economists.
@LouieOlivas@TheHordeArt@BeauYotty@micah_erfan Lee's performance at Gettysburg shows all of his weaknesses. Strategically, he should have never been there. Tactically, he blundered several times, particularly on the third day where he got loads of his men killed in a futile, useless, and stupid attack.
@LouieOlivas@TheHordeArt@BeauYotty@micah_erfan Lee was a fine tactical general but a bad strategic general. His victories were often so costly that he costly in casualties that they impact the ability of his army to fight in the future. He also had huge problems with command and control which frequently caused problems.
