Comment Tax doesn't fund spending. (Score 2) 308

The economics doesn't lie - Tax doesn't fund spending, and cant fund spending.

Yet this is against the mainstream politics view that it does and we need to cut spending, or increase tax to reduce the deficit.

Will the mainstream attempt to limit visibility of these 'fake' articles that say tax does not fund spending?

Comment Modern Money Theory.. (Score 0) 256

Money is all digital now. No gold backs it, or anything else. Just figures in a database....Ironically probably running Oracle.

The numbers can never run out.... We should not care., its just the same as some gamer scoring high points at pacman...

Well done to those companies.

INSTEAD, we should be turning our eyes to governments who are NOT creating enough debt to fund this. Public debt, the big scary 20 trillion figure, is where the money came from. We just need to add more to it to free up the economy and get people working again.

Its that easy.

Bill gates doesn't have a clue. Not a clue.

If you tax robots, then there is LESS incentive to getting robots, and more work for humans to do.

Once you realise that tax does *not fund* expenditure, but is only there to prevent inflation and add value to money, you realise the absolute stupidity of what he suggests.

Comment A laptop. (Score 1) 204

I would have originally said a mac laptop..... but, apple have destroyed what was insanely great.... ,and left the world with massively overpriced computer like objects that you cant even plug in a usb memory stick. You could go windows but that would be selling your kids heart to the devil, along with his browsing habits, shopping preferences and anything else microsoft want to monitor. You could go with a linux laptop like...erm....... errr.... Cant find one for sale. Scrub that. You could go with a chrome book. BUT.....GOOGLE.....WHY?....the market is shite (see above), you could clear up. WHY DONT YOU WANT TO? Actually, all things considered I would buy a second hand Macbook white core 2 duo from 2010. they're available for £150, shove in 8gb of ram, and it will easily run the latest OS. If I was a kid, I would love to find this in my xmas stocking more than anything else;

Comment Dynamo Bikes... (Score 5, Interesting) 77

We do this in the UK also.... ...except the power is already in the KFC chicken itself, rather than a lipol batter pack. This project puts free to use dynamo bikes for the public to use. Plug your phone in, then burn a few calories charging it..... ideal if you've pigged out and want to burn at least some of it off! http://eastdevon.gov.uk/news/2...
