I think you have to read a variety of sources and favor the outlets that report facts without reporter opinion. I’d use Al jazeera for news outside of the middle east, but also add reuters and Associated Press.

Foreign language press is also interesting if you feel your sources have bias.

Notice when your teeth are clenching and muscles tensing, then consciously relax all your muscles.

It doesn’t help with the cause of the anger, but it really reduces the need to retaliate.

I presume Google and Microsoft are similarly bad.

Mathematicians are just bad at naming things. For example

• Rings don’t resemble circles

• Fields aren’t literal open spaces

• Normal has about 20 different meanings

• Chaos is not random

Basically also include all the infinities.

There is already a pair of objects we can use to store fractions. The ratio of two integers.

Irrational numbers is when floating points come into play.

I didn’t, but now I do.

What does this mean?

Kamala’s campaign spent $1.5 billion.

This is the real election prize, not the presidency.

It has two sources of funding

Taxes is the same source of funding. Workers.

there isn’t a middle man skimming a cut

Er. The government.

The entire point of a Ponzi scheme is you are pretending there is money being generated that isn’t.

Exactly. State Pensions are promised but there is no money held aside for them.

It is literally not a Ponzi scheme by definition.

I’ve already given you the Ponzi literature, and shown that PAYG pensions satisfy the description.

I’m done man.

Cos, like your PAYG error, you just can’t admit being wrong.

In most PAYG state pensions the contributions made by workers are not invested. They are paid directly to pensioners.

Your misunderstanding of the process and confusion with private pensions doesn’t make it false.

PAYG funded State pensions fit the definition of a ponzi. Therefore they are a ponzi. The fact it is government approved and transparent does not negate the fact that current investors are directly paying early investors.

Early investors pensioners are paid off with money put in by later ones.

Sounds like a ponzi to me.

You understand that there will still be a lot of labor available. It’s not like there will NO workers.

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.

The UK State Pension is unfunded, which means that its obligations are not underpinned by an actual fund or funds. Such schemes are often referred to as “Pay As You Go” (PAYG). The pension payments made by the government for unfunded pensions are financed on an ongoing basis from National Insurance contributions and general taxation.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how these funds work.

This misunderstanding is on your side. There is a method of funding pensions refered to as pay as you go (PAYG).

The goal is not to pay people with the money from new people paying into the pot.

This is exactly how many unfunded, state sponsored pension schemes function. No pot of money exists. Only the ability to collect taxes.

They invest the money and then the pot grows and that money is used to pay out.

This is true for private pension schemes run by companies and individual pension schemes. Funded pension schemes are (usually) not ponzis.

Nah. Food is cheap and plentiful. We don’t need young people working in fields for old people to be fed.

We need to inhabit at least one other plant on a continuous basis before we encourage exponential population growth.

We are going to be resource constrained on this planet long before we expand to others.
