Holy shit you guys have sales tax? Really living in the 1800’s there.

Well that’s just the level of economic understanding on this website. Immigrants get everything for free but everyone else pays for society at large.

That’s not how fact checking works.

Someone’s made a stupid text on image post incorrectly comparing things and didn’t even back that up.

From an economic perspective it’s largely the same.

Research and development is important for long term growth that’s why governments do their best to financially encourage it.

But this is Lemmy. Might as well be talking to a spam sandwich when it comes to economics.

How much was paid with employee income tax? How much was paid with VAT?

How much did immigrants take out of the system?

This is the most biased one sided comparison.

It’s strange how in the when businesses employee people and that wage gets taxed that’s 100% on the employee. But when a business sells a product and it gets taxed that’s 100% on the customer.

The view is anyone that can’t get sex is worthless. It’s a harsh truth that people don’t like to admit.

People love to use the fact that people aren’t get sex against them.

The whole treatment of incels seems hypocritical to me tbh. Like they make some good points. But society can’t accept nuance, they can’t accept that someone that don’t like might be right about something’s.

This is the united kingdom anyone that needs a /s should be taken out by firing squad at first light.

I’ve talked to so many fucking idiots about this that don’t get it.

Look roads are for cars and we all did a driving test and we know how fast is safe. Numbers don’t mean anything.

I should be able to drive 60 down a residential if I think I can. If some kid gets run over then that’s their fault and their parents. Roads are for cars. What you expect me to slow down and be late for work? I was already late when I left and this is going to add minutes to my journey people just don’t think.

I know I’m a good driver, I’ve only ever got points for speeding and for drunk driving (but I was still driving well). There some fucking idiots on the road I agree but we shouldn’t all be punished. We need more roads so we can go faster that’s the real issue.

That Baywatch show on friends looks good.

“Always running”

Yea they really shoehorned her in. Would have been more accurate to make that character a man.

Oh well, could have been worse. Could have been made by Netflix.

I don’t see how that goes against anything I have said? That just supports what I said if anything.

Breading season was a cool game

I don’t like guy butts.

I feel like I stop playing with boobs when I get told “okay that’s enough”.

But it there was two of me playing with boobs it would go on a lot longer.

How the fuck they get anything done then?

There is a shit load of gold out their in minute concentrations

There a lot of fatties out there that think they are healthy and that someone who got visible ribs in anorexic. Heard quite a few stories if people going to the doctors and finding out they are obese when they thought they were a healthy weight.

People need more education on this matter not less.

If someone works out how to make gold cheap. Then the current value of all gold will collapse and there were be a huge supply of shit that’s been covered in dust in a vault for 100 years.

Here’s a company doing it. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-industry/green-steel-without-green-hydrogen-can-it-work

They can make steel with just electricity and I don’t see why if you are making a fuel for planes why you wouldn’t make straight kerosene.

I can see how you could mass produce hydrogen for industry then use it in winter. But I can also see all high energy industries going to places with good solar.

The future is going to be weird that’s for sure.

Especially in Europe there is a big question of winter energy demand not meeting supply from solar. That causes issues that wind doesn’t fully solve.

So I get that hydrogen could be an option to balance the grid over yearly time periods. Although I think batteries still look better.

But so much of hydrogen just seems like a scam

It added that all necessary equipment could soon be housed on a platform directly on an offshore wind turbine

Like why would you even do that? I don’t get it. It must go from kinetic energy to electrical then to the hydrogen plant surely. Why wouldn’t you send that electricity back to shore?
