Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.



I do want to add this, though. I've been noticing a steady drumbeat of reportage about this (the international minimum tax), most especially the NYTimes and WaPo. And it's led up to today's explosion of news items (which may continue into the future). So I'm noting that.

But it's not the amount of reporting alone that strikes me, it's that there's no criticism ... or even any level of discussion ... about it. It's like the Iraq War drumbeat. Or the Syrian War drumbeat. Or the RUSSIA!!! RUSSIA!!! RUSSIA!!! drumbeat. Or any number of propaganda campaigns' drumbeat we've been subjected to over the decades.

When it comes to this particular agreement, I think we'd all like to see the wealthy help carry to load ... well, maybe the wealthy wouldn't, but the rest of us would. So the idea of figuring out a way 'how' would naturally be appealing to a large number of people. A G7 minimum tax could be a very popular idea indeed. But as you pointed out, the devil is in the details, and most people don't have the stomach, or the time, or the background, to work through the details. Ultimately, what makes this a 'good idea' or a 'bad idea' is whether or not it'll do what's PUBLICLY intended.



This PARTICULAR agreement aside (which seems like a bad idea, since it will probably not achieve its PUBLICLY stated goals), when it comes to the topic of international agreements in general, I personally have a hard time figuring out where to draw the line between an acceptable infringement of national rights, and an unacceptable one, since afaik, ALL international agreements inevitably limit some national rights.

Nuclear treaties, for example, limit national arms, positioning, etc; but imo, they are good things.

So I don't think international agreements are in and of themselves basically bad, even if every one of them could be cast in a 'one-world-government' light due to the limits they place on nations.

One thing that differentiates propaganda from news is EVIDENCE. The Iraq War drumbeat? No evidence ... well there was evidence, but it all fell part pretty quickly as faked. (I don't know if you watched Colin Powell go before the UN to make the US's case. It was humiliating for him and the US. I honestly felt embarrassed for him. All he had were artists' renditions of what the US CLAIMED was in Iraq. Because the US had no proof, or even evidence.) The Syrian War drumbeat that Assad had 'gassed his own people' ... Was there evidence? None. The RUSSIA!!! RUSSIA!!! RUSSIA!!! drumbeat blaming Russia for literally everything because ... some US agency or anonymous leaker said so? Is there ever any evidence? No.

And so on. So, that's one thing to look for, to ferret out propaganda, is the lack of EVIDENCE.

Another thing, which I've noted here, is the lack of substantive discussion. I don't think they m$m has to work very hard to get most Americans on board with the idea that rich people should pay more taxes. So they just put this idea out there without the multiple claims, stories, etc needed for the other narratives.

But the idea that EVERYthing from the m$m should be rejected off hand isn't a particularly discriminating one, because it throws out the stuff that has substantive evidence behind it.

They did that.

Everything they say is a lie. Everything.


All you need to do to verify that is watch CNN and then watch FOX News for any single discussion and you will see very different and very biased lies coming from either side.

Nothing they say has even a facade of objectivity to it.


Paid, professional liars. The entire lot of them.

Biden* stole the election.

The results so far have been disastrous for the Democrats and America.

It's just going to keep getting worse.


But at least this thread is resolved. Biden* figured out that you can just mint 1 Trillion dollar coins. What a genius.

Keynes himself said that the debt must be paid off during economic booms. Rome, degeneracy, corrutpion and 'Fractional Reserve Banking'?

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned lawmakers Tuesday that the U.S. could suffer a 'deep recession' if they don't raise the debt ceiling by December 15.

'I cannot overstate how critical it is that Congress address this issue,' she urged the Senate Banking Committee. 'America must pay its bills on time and in full. If we do not, we will eviscerate our current recovery.'

Yellen said that in a 'matter of days' the majority of Americans would suffer financially if Congress didn't lift or suspend the debt ceiling.

"Honestly, it might be better if the bill doesn't pass," Musk said


Bailouts, Debt Ceilings?



SpaceX / Tesla's Elon Musk says Biden's Build Back Better bill shouldn't pass

'It does not make sense to take the job of capital allocation away from people who have demonstrated great skill ... and give it to, you know, an entity that has demonstrated very poor skill in capital allocation, which is the government,' he said.

Musk said his brain-chip startup, Neuralink, hopes to begin human trials next year pending approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Bidenflation: Consumer Prices Surge 7%, Worst Since 1982

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/01/12/consumer-prices-rise/

$29,027,064,315,616.30
United States National Debt Per Person
$86,071.65


Let's start with the federal debt. The U.S. Debt Clock puts federal debt at $29 trillion. That's money that we, as taxpayers, will have to pay at some point in the future - since all government debt is ultimately a claim that must be paid by taxpayers. The National Debt Clock says that "debt per citizen" is currently $87,124.
https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/585679-you-owe-more-than-500000-an
d-counting
But there's more, much more. That $29 trillion ignores Social Security and Medicare's current and future obligations. Fortunately, the trustees who oversee those two programs annually estimate how much that is. Long term, Social Security owes beneficiaries a lot more money than it's projected to receive from the payroll taxes that fund it. Those future obligations are referred to as unfunded liabilities.
