The problem is that it isn't true, you can say things that they agree with without being banned, but say anything even slightly leftish and it's insta-ban.
That isn't enough for me to accept the "equally bad" part. Also, as a european, I see both american parties as being on the government is bad side, even if one of them are obviously more so than the other.
> as people died in Texas cause no one cared enough to make sure the wind turbines worked in the cold. That is not true, wind turbines failing is not the cause, that is a lie.
I think the solutiion is that both are needed. corporate funded news can investigate the government, and government funded news can investigate corporations.
yes, it is well known. I just see it as a digital versin of the phone book. And there are even more extreme versions, like ratsit.se where you can pay to get credit information on anyone. Personally I think that what…
I seriously hadn't considered the second definition of the word. Thnx.
I have no idea how american school funding works, but property taxes? Is that really true? That would mean that schools in richer areas with higher property values got more funding?
No, that is not it. =) If you are rich enough you can pick what country gets to tax you, if one country raises the tax too much, rich people will just move their taxable assets to another country.
It is super difficult to actually do that when tax laws are national but corporations are global. When a corporation is large enough to be able to move around in the world they can start shopping around for the most…
I would guess they didn't put different adds on different words, so, those words had the exact same adds as every other word.
But how would one actually know if a result is a false positive or not? Sure, in extreme cases it might be obvious, but if you just know that one test gives more matches than another, not knowing which one is the one…
That's a fair point.
Ok, and if the owner in our hypothetical scenario was my government, then I might change my mind.
That is true. But people from those countries could use a currency from one of the more trusted governments instead of using bitcoins. As an example: american dollars was used as currency in a lot of soviet states.
Ok, but if I rephrase it as: I consider bitcoin to be more of a pyramid scheme then your average asset.
Yes, that was my point.
Well, that makes more sense, thnx.
Ì'm scandinavian, so yes, I assume that my government is more on my side that pretty much any for-profit organization in the world.
Am I a "corpo merc" since I don't like crypto currency? What does that even mean?
What are the positive sides of "Evading capital controls"? Also, does POS here mean "piece of shit"?
When you say speculative, for whom do you mean? Do you mean that it would be easier for some rich person to make more money by speculating in dollars and euros than it would be to speculate in bitcoins?
Not OP, but I wouldn't. I consider the tools available to central banks to be actually usefull. Example: The ability to print more or less money depending on what is needed.
I'm a crypto hater, I consider bitcoin to be a pyramid scheme. And also, I think that it is a positive thing that an institution that I can influence (government) is in control of deciding how transactions work. This…
Not an expert, but as an anecdote: every company that I have worked for have had their stated purpose as "Doing X and Y, and also investing in stocks/bonds/whatever".
It is uncommon for sure. But then again, now days, most people don't consider gold as a serious currency.
