This looks cool. I could see myself using it...
Very interesting. You clearly know more about it than I do~~
Are churches still tax-exempt in the US?
By definition, those are not subsidies, but one could argue that they provide financial support akin to subsidies by not taking away some of their revenue.
But yeah, this specific example wasn't my point, nor your point. It's good to learn that DOGE is looking into everything. It's not going to be easy though to judge "objectively" what is waste (corruption is probably easier to define). Good that not every government money relates to controversial topics and it'll be easier to find and deal with waste and corruption in those non-controversial topics.
So you mean, no public money can be committed for periods spanning longer than 4 years? No long-term planning? I am probably misunderstanding, giving your comment on the legislature right after.
As for zero-basing government spending, yes, that makes sense under the premise that graft, corruption, and waste is going on. Not disputing that. However, if so, I'd like to see it happen regardless of party lines. Then, it would give credence to the goal of removing waste. If it's just DEI stuff and left-wing woke stuff, then it's more ideological than improving government efficiency.
Is DOGE going to make sure there is no government spending waste going on in terms of
- military funding?
- police funding?
- farming subsidies?
- prison funding?
- subsidies for religious organizations?
- etc
(just listed random points that I would imagine the "right" would be ok to spend government money on... the examples are not the point, i guess you see what I'm trying to say)
In other news. Grass is green. He's always been a fiat maximalist.
He's awful to listen to. Physics analogies that don't make sense. But hey, he's an MIT engineer.
Good write up. Necessary when i see the amount of people simping for him.
Yeah, it always amazes me that the tech that brought us to the moon now fits in a simple smartphone...
I think I saw somewhere some people were theorizing this Norwegian fund will step in to support Ukraine in its war now that the US is supposedly backtracking its financial support. Too lazy to look it up.
Interesting read!
We invented our humanity. We invented cooking, we invented human language, we invented our sense of fairness, duty, and responsibility.
Invention suggests some kind of intentional and deliberate process. I prefer to think that language, cooperation, etc emerged from evolutionary pressure.
Fairness, reciprocity,... seems to exist in many other beings too. Of course, depends on where you put us humans versus primates, but it seems like chimpanzees and "less evolved" beings also have rudimentary concepts of fairness, etc.
So, I kinda agree with the general gist, but could be a bit more nuanced. At the same time, it's probably not meant to be super-hedged as would be the case for a peer-reviewed article~~
He's quite entertaining with his doomsday porn. Not always very accurate in his predictions, but that's not what I expect when I read his musings.
Thanks for adding the source.
I've never seen a writer so blatantly promote himself. The OP in that article links directly to his Google Scholar~~
I must have gotten confused about what you wrote in #902144
Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me.
You do you, but in ~science, I encourage people to post a source when they post someone else's work~~
Better, but I think the reality is different from what it looks like. Other than near Seoul station, one rarely sees homeless or beggars anymore, but my guess is that they are kept hidden from the public. Used to be different. I could not remove the paywall from this article supporting my thesis.
