That's just not how it works, you can't just construct an economical philosophy out of thin air, you have to apply a model and let it try different parameters from there.

care to elaborate? I'm honestly just pulling this shit out of my arse without any technical background with tinge of romanticism I mean I am programmer but AI was considered thing of the past when I was studying and my country's CS education involved more pure math than application

You give it a model (market, planning…), and parameters, and let it try to figure out which is the best (according to a calculated score) combining of thoses defined (as in, it cannot invent them) parameters. That's all there is to it, there is no dark magic which can compare two different models (and it can't invent models either).

Ukania’s Great Privatization Heist
Margaret Thatcher was very good at telling tall tales. Ukania’s tragedy is that far too many Brits fell for these tales.Probably the biggest of these tales concerned the notion of a share-owning democracy.The idea here was simple, but utterly misguided – sell off the publicly-owned enterprises, and everyone will be able to buy shares in the newly privatized companies. By buying however many shares you want, you will become a part of Thatcher’s great British share-owning democracy.Many of us knew at that time that it was never going to be like this at all. As Marx noted, the stock exchange, where the shares of the newly privatized companies would of course be traded, is “where the little fish are swallowed by the sharks and the lambs by the stock-exchange wolves”.The wealthy have always used their resources to acquire a monopoly on company shares. So when the public enterprises were put on sale at rock-bottom prices by Thatcher and her cronies, the wealthy rushed to collar the majority of the share offerings, the ensuing demand drove-up the price of the shares, and in so doing put nearly all of them beyond the reach of Joe and Jill Normal.

Oil profits grease Trump administration’s move to recognize Israeli annexation of Golan
Washington last week gave another sign that the Trump administration is moving towards declaring the Golan Heights to be Israeli sovereign territory. At the heart of the move are huge anticipated US-Israeli oil profits.
In an annual human rights report, the State Department referred to the Golan Heights as “Israeli-controlled,” dropping the international norm of citing the contested area as “Israeli-occupied.” The change in wording is significant.The Golan Plateau is considered to be Syrian territory under international law, according to UN resolutions. Israel has occupied the strategically important area overlooking the Jordan Valley since the 1967 Six Day War. In 1981, Israel formally annexed the land, but the self-declared claim has never been recognized internationally.Hence, the normative term “Israeli-occupied Golan” in UN terminology, not “Israeli-controlled.”

While each of the experiences of those involved in #AbolishICE were different, they show the complexity of a period of struggle that became one of the most important political eruptions during the Trump period.

The fucking ruling class in every Western nation saw a chance to spook boomers with illegal immigrants, and get them to fucking okay plundering wealth from the working class and poor in exchange for tighter immigration laws. How are boomers this gullible? They are more easy to control than sheep. They literally are enthusiastic about letting oligarchs ass fuck them at every turn, and believe every right wing agenda the MSM sells them. I've seen boomers that make 35k a year arguing against taxing billionaires even moderately more. I've seen boomers cheer repealing water cleanliness laws because it triggers the liberals. I've seen boomers cheer on the government requiring them to work without pay for months on end just so their favorite right wing politicians didn't lose face. They believe aborted babies go to hell, forest fires can be prevented by raking, monkeys disprove evolution and a cold day is hard evidence that global warming is a Chinese hoax. To top it off they are giving all their money to rich people. Were boomers molested as children?

What the fuck happened to them?

Why are they like this? What the hell is wrong with them?

thanks based newsanon!

Accept that LaRouche was right and that Boomers need to be killed.

So because their generation had better material conditions they are happy to squander the next generations wealth and material conditions in order to get politicians who make a big show about talking tough about immigrants? When are they going to realize they're throwing away money quicker than a whore at a crackhouse so they can have politicians who are incapable of doing more for them than shit talking immigrants?

Are we all just gonna ignore the fact brazillians raiders tried to rob a cache of uranium?
