I like how this has “Murrkans dumb” vibes, but this picture is intellectually far better than what average Russian thinks about economy.

That said, 6+ bigmacs for an hour of minimum wage sounds very good. Actually it sounds like some heaven on earth.

The conference is in Baku and compared to Azeris Taliban is almost normal.

To defense as part of NATO - yes.

Nah. It’s a trope all right.

“For 20 years” is fine.

and it’s Holy Book, Modern Monetary Theory.

I thought MMT is the left Dems’ thing? AOC and crowd. Generally no, it’s not something anyone is on the same page about.

There’s still that little issue of building up your own. Most EU countries have been demilitarizing for 30 years more and more, with the strategy being “it’s a new world without wars, and also big daddy USA will protect us, and if not them, then Britain and France will”. Britain has done an exit, and France alone is kinda lazy.

and unfortunately, nothing will ever improve until we replace our broken two party system with a modern multiparty democracy

… and you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to fuck that up

It’s not an argument, just a thought.

That’s what I meant. Phones should be treated similarly to houses.

Is analogy with people in (very quiet) places who don’t lock doors to their homes correct? Then it’s as if the door is not locked, a cop doesn’t have to ask permission (or warrant)?
