Danish politics map poorly to American politics though. Our biggest right wing party is called "Left - liberal party of Denmark" though, while being explicitly (centre) right wing. We also have the "Radical Left", which is centrist with pretty liberal economic policies but doing a pretty good job not being racist. These two parties are funny to me. Also, the Socialist People's Party is centre left, with the "Unity List" being far left.

The Left have also been allies with the Conservatives and they have formed multiple governments. The big reason Denmark is impossible to compare to the USA is that we don't have any real religious crap, like opposition to homosexuality and abortion. Basically, the Christian Democrats are the only ones trying to go on that direction, and they are slightly less popular than the "let's genocide the Muslims, trust me, I'm a lawyer, I can get around the Constitution" party called Tough Stance. In fact, the Conservatives chairman is openly gay, which would never happen in the GOP.

Phlegmish posted:Also they don't care because corona is extremely unlikely to kill economically valuable people. I've already heard people say that the virus will end up saving millions in social security expenses, since it's mostly retired old people that are dying. This is actually an interesting point, would a completely unmanaged epidemic actually be bad for the economy of a country like the USA? Presumably, most deaths would be unproductive people, which would free up informal care workers, such as children taking care of their parents, who would do work that actually "counts" in the economy instead (or at least consume more luxury goods, which probably had the same effect). The main counter I see world be the decreased demand on the housing market, but that gets complicated very fast. My point is obviously that "the economy" is a completely horrible measure of how good your society is. As an aside, given that the theory is not completely stupid (I await your expertise), it would have a lesser impact in Nordic countries, where care work is part of the formal economy.

How am I to understand that? Libs don't have friends or family obviously. And UKIP is probably a class thing, with working class people being more likely to die from the virus. Also possible some toxic masculinity thing about not going to the doctor?

vyelkin posted:That doesn't even include a third common way, which is to get rid of articles altogether and use noun declensions to designate roles, which is how Slavic languages do it. Subject, indirect object, direct object, etc., are distinguished by giving nouns different endings, there are no articles at all, and word order is irrelevant (though there are still natural-sounding and unnatural-sounding word orders). This is basically the same as loving with the articles, just placing it as part of the word instead of outside. Still cool though. Similarly, Finnish uses (mostly) case endings where English and friends uses prepositions. So "talossa" instead of "in the house", where -ssa means "in". Definiteness is not a thing in Finnish, so there is no "the". As for grammatical gender, Swahili has 20+ of them for some reason. Needless to say, they aren't strongly related to social genders. The fact that Indo European (and Semitic) genders are is just a happy* coincidence. *Not actually happy, frustrating more like it.

On the flip side, if you happened to code the thing, or even to understand half of it, you are basically set for life, with presumably fun salary negotiations. I worked somewhere where only the top brass and the cobol guy got to have private offices, while everyone else were in open spaces, for some reason.

How do economists rationalize payday loans and people having kids? Every time i take the train, I see adds for loans with easy application and gigantic interest rates, directly aimed at getting people to buy luxury crap. There is no possible way anyone would gain anything by taking that loan, and yet, the commercials have been omnipresent for years. And as a father, holy poo poo kids are expensive in a bunch of direct and indirect ways, and the expected return is "maybe they'll help put me in a home when I'm senile". This is in Denmark where caring for olds is normally not the responsibility of the family. And yet, people choose to reproduce all the time, despite having access to (and using up until a point) birth control. What I'm getting at is that economy is a stupid field. I have met some economists who understood basic principles like "people are dumb" though.

Physicists who think other sciences are as uncomplicated as their own should be guillotined along with the economists. Seriously, there is an epidemic of idiots with simplistic models trying to "solve" other sciences. I remember the model of language change that didn't take geography into account, leading to a 300 year journey from Norway to Iceland along with other less obvious dumb poo poo. Also it didn't take into account that empires and the like have been a thing, leading to since interesting results ...Everywhere in the world except possibly Polynesia.

Paladinus posted:GTA should be way higher than Harry Potter. It seems pretty accurate if you read it as public perception. The point that the book seems to make is that this is an arbitrary ranking based on cultural biases, which would place the transphobic children's book above the murder simulator. I like that CNN is placed in the fiction column.

ITT goons suck at laundering money. I think a major part of laundering money is having a plausible reason for getting large amounts of cash, and preferably some kind of product that makes comparing income to inventory hard. This makes actual cleaners a pretty good choice. But it's also why Copenhagen had a lot of candy stores pop up a few years ago. Paying in cash, and selling by weight with a lot of waste is good for money laundering. Mattresses seem like a really bad front on the other hand.
