While the Laffer curve undoubtedly exists, every single tax-cut experiment in the last 30 years in the USA suggests we are already to the left of the peak, and hence lower taxes simply means lower revenues.
Do you really think that its moral for the Federal government to maximize its revenue?
Cutting taxes isn't likely to help much with paying off the 21 trillion dollar debt
Lets be honest here. The national debt is only serviced, never repaid.
Look at his budget proposals some day. They paint a different picture
I suspect the ones that he supports all get his State a good deal on federal money, however the picture painted here is that that is only doing what he was elected to do. Senators (are supposed to) represent the State.
so you get situations that can distort the shape of the event horizon or accretion disk(s),
so you get to the point where you think your knowledge about black holes makes you an expert, but then you find out that you confused black holes with singularities.
You also get worse IEEE compliance out of the x87 unit, which may matter more than the extra 16 bits of precision.
As far as I am aware, the x87 was fully IEEE compliant so long as you asked for 64-bit (or 32-bit) rounding after every operation (which was implicit if you write all operations back to memory) until Intel decided that precision didnt matter as much as benchmark performance. It was about mid-2014 that Intels newest precision issues made the frontpage of slashdot (Where Intel Processors Fail At Math (Again)
And they'll be busy strip-mining the third world
They are also strip-mining their own country. Its easy to sustain a lot of growth as long as you can mobilize ever larger amounts of resources. This is in fact how the soviet union was able to compete for so long, but eventually it could not keep increasing the amount of resources that it mobilized.
The western world also fuels growth in part through resource mobilization, but a non-trivial amount of that growth is also from pure value creation. Most people don't know that gasoline started as a waste product. It is capitalism that more effectively makes better and better uses of the resources that are available, and its driven by greed.
...you're just another asshole.
When your first shallow attempt to cast a bad light on the car manufacturer failed ("..defective, period."), you just went ahead and tried a different shallow method ("..then you have to ask.."), yet amazingly its not you thats the asshole, its other people.
Here is the thing. When you pick a theory first, and then just keep manufacturing more and more arguments in the hopes that one of them will stick, YOU are the asshole. You are the asshole because you are literally hoping that the car manufacturer did something wrong.
but then you have to ask whether the driver reasonably understands how the assistive technology works well enough to be able to supervise it
No, you dont have to ask that. You choose to ask that just like this driver chose to jump on the gas peddle with pedestrians in the way.
Both of you are idiots.
I'm actually curious to know why that was modded down. It's a point that many have made.
Because half of slashdotters lose their god damned minds as soon as the belief system that they put only shallow thought in proves to be completely irrational even at a shallow level.
The EU budget is a lot of money but a small fraction of the combined national budgets.
The EU is young. That budget will only grow, and its powers and influence will only expand. Look west across the ocean. Thats your future.
