Healthcare? Oooo maybe next time...
  • Compared to previous budgets, less. The rise in spending is 1%, whilst the rise in military wages will be 4.5% to reach a $15 Minium wage for federal employees (Neither is inflation adjusted).

  • The truth...
  • Just like how preventing the genocide of poles/jews/gypsies in europe required the counter-genocide of the German people?

    Confict between Iran and the west does not need to be settled in Gazan hospitals. Why I ought I support the actual in-progress genocide because of the hypothetical genocide that would be carried out in absence of western support, espacily given that Isreali military spending alone is already twice Iranian? Withdrawing support from Isreal would not wipe the nation out, just cause it to place greater weight on international support (and thereby international law) when conducting their war.

  • The truth...
  • The clones where already phased out by the time of the alliance to restore the republic, it was the empire that had wiped them out (always pull up the ladder behind you).

    On a more serious note: the 'both sides bad' point is a bit moot when many western nations (including the USA and UK, where most english speaking twit-lords come from) are actively providing financial and military support to one of those sides. If it were discovered MI6 had been smuggling missiles to hamas then we could talk about what how to put a stop to it.

  • The truth...
  • Also empires are always building super-weapons in fiction and not the railroads/bridges/tax offices and all other boring shit that empires tend to do.

    The last 'super weapon' to be used in anger was made by the glorious republic (USA) against the Evil empire (Japan). The genocides meanwhile tend to be perpetrated with boring old bombs, shells and blockades.

  • Anon catches his wife
  • wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.

    what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?

  • Should the world accelerate the development of cultured meat to save us from pandemics far worse than COVID-19? A "near miss" potential disaster with H5N1 bird flu & American milk suggests yes.
  • I'm not entirely sure where the concept that farmed meat would be immune to pathogens comes from? It's still meat afterall, it's still got cells that are suspectable to disease. And it's not like they could be indefinately kept in isolation to each other either. Eventually the move away from fbs necessiates that we get lab meat from lab meat, ouroboros style. Not to mention such labgrown meat is unlikely to have all the lymph nodes etc.. of a real cow.

  • Me when reading is hard

    A great series on the basics of georgist economics, narrated by Lindy Davies
