Failed Imagineer posted:A third isn't that much really (though I guess a 58% majority are now Remain/Rejoin). I mean, Leave only won the vote by the slenderest of margins, so if a third of them had switched sides before the vote it'd have been a comfortable Remain win. But yeah, damage is done now, everything's gotten a fair bit shittier, and I expect the UK will slowly drift back into a closer relationship with the EU over time.

Embed going away will be good for my consumption of Twitter (IE: Entirely through these forums) as it'll force people to screenshot tweets before they're deleted

NotJustANumber99 posted:elon is mental and I would not tweet bad things about teslas as he absolutely would spend a few hours of his really important time to victimize some nobody in the uk that whined about the very definite phantom braking for example and brick their tesla out of spite. Twitter's dead, nobody can tweet any more

Darth Walrus posted:A government running a surplus is always a bad sign. It means it's taking more from the economy than it gives, and is ensuring that the majority of debt is born by private individuals who don't have nearly as much protection or bargaining power. Governments don't have to go to payday loan companies, after all. It's a fundamentally parasitic conception of rule. Yeah, exactly this. A government running a large surplus should be pilloried by the public - at the very least you could just give the cash back to the poorest in your society and have a positive feedback loop of poor people having money to spend on goods and services which makes jobs in those industries to pay more taxes etc etc. Just sitting on money like a dragon is perverse behaviour for a national government.

Why bother to fix inequality when you can just magically have a bigger economy and thus a larger tax income Nothing can match the prosperity of the economies I can imagine

Microplastics posted:I actually think National Service would be great if it involved a varied mix of work that would otherwise be left to charities, like park gardening work, nature preservation work, beach cleaning, doing stuff for the elderly, etc etc. There's no need for it to be limited to or mandatory for young people, though. If the government ran a "National Labour Service" that offered decent wages to anyone who wanted to sign up that did useful cleanup/gardening/preservation work and encouraged young people to sign up for it out of school to get some skills, I don't think anyone would object. Well, except for the right wing, who would call it communism.

I got a Brother colour laser a few years back and it gives me 90% less hassle than the cheapo HP Deskjet I used to struggle with, but it does still occasionally remember that it is the lowest of Satan's creatures, a printer
