@BroIamRandom @SchizoLeL @BernaBoss27 @JepsiFN There's plenty of salary women too dawg

@SchizoLeL @BernaBoss27 @JepsiFN I think there’s a bit of difference between being a cute maid for 6-8 hours a day and working as a salary man for 12-14hours a day bro

How is there a birthrate problem

@anishmoonka What's the story of the ones found in Ryukyu? That seems to be by far the farthest ones found from Rome? What's up with that?

Rome spent more money on Indian pepper every year than it made from conquering all of France. A Roman writer named Pliny was furious about it. In 77 CE he did the math. India alone was pulling 50 million silver coins out of Rome a year. The total eastern trade bill, India plus China plus Arabia, hit 100 million. Rome’s yearly take from conquering Gaul (today’s France) was 40 million. The empire was hemorrhaging more gold on seasoning than it squeezed out of an entire conquered territory. And the operation behind it was massive. 120 ships left Egypt’s coast for India every single year under Emperor Augustus. Before Rome took over Egypt, almost nobody made that crossing. One trade record that survived from the Indian port of Muziris lists a single cargo: 4,700 pounds of ivory, 790 pounds of textiles, 1,700 pounds of perfumed oil. That one haul could buy 2,400 acres of Egypt’s best farmland. Pepper ran the whole show. Rome’s only surviving cookbook uses it in 81% of its roughly 500 recipes. The city built entire warehouses just to store the stuff pouring in off the ships. A pound of black pepper cost about a week of a Roman soldier’s pay. When the Visigoth king Alaric besieged Rome in 408 CE, his ransom demand listed 3,000 pounds of pepper right next to 5,000 pounds of gold and 30,000 pounds of silver. The thick cluster of dots across southern India on this map tells the trade side of the story. Over 170 coin finds scattered across 130+ sites, mostly in Tamil country and along the Kerala coast. Indian kings scratched the Roman emperor’s face off these coins, stamped their own name on the metal, and spent them as their own. The Kushan Empire up in what’s now Afghanistan went even further. They melted Roman gold down completely and recast it at the exact same weight into their own currency. Rome’s money was being swallowed and erased. The dots sprinkled across Scotland and Scandinavia are a different animal. Those coins were payoffs. Rome couldn’t conquer the northern tribes, so it bought them off in silver. Archaeologists have pulled 41 separate coin stashes out of non-Roman parts of Scotland. The stray coins that showed up in China and at a medieval castle in Okinawa, Japan probably bounced through dozens of hands over centuries before landing there. Around 300 CE, the whole thing cratered. Rome kept mixing cheaper metals into its coins until they were barely worth the weight. Indian merchants took one look at what was coming off the ships and stopped accepting them. Three centuries of trade, done, because one side hollowed out its own money.

@Alex_Oloyede2 Healthcare?

Mention one thing the EU is better at than the US and China.

@ShiroKiyoko @indietronicaone @ethanmwolf @usamattersmedia *italy invaded in 36 not 39.

@ShiroKiyoko @indietronicaone @ethanmwolf @usamattersmedia Given its advancements in the lead up the Italian invasion in 39 I think Ethiopa had a very real chance of developing into a modern nation on its own....until the fascists burnt most of it down and ruined the legitimacy of the ruling family.

The main takeaway here is that Hasan Piker believes the Cuban regime, however repressive it may be, is not to blame for Cuba's suffering. Rather it is the United States who has run Cuba into the ground. The fact that anyone takes Piker seriously is a joke.

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Name one singular thing you average guy on street would recognize as transformative for his life? One singular thing. I havnt noticed anything. No one i knew noticed anything. If people did he probably would have won but maybe you can prove me wrong.

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Would the average American notice as providing them a New Deal on life. Rather than going point for with me saying shit it should have had and you saying im overly optimistic why dont you actually prove that bidens bills provided a Green New Deal for the average American.

WE PASSED A VERSION OF THE GREEN NEW DEAL IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND NONE OF YOU FUCKING CARED BECAUSE ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS VIBES, NOT MAKING ANYONE'S LIFE BETTER, AND NOW AS A RESULT YOU GET TO CHOKE ON A COAL STACK IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. CONGRATS.

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Wanted when it comes to HSR cause there's fucking zero HSR .

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Political compromise is pushing for a full HSR system and getting a couple of regional lines. Pushing for a full scale HSR system and getting one singular mid tier by global standards regular train line is called just fucking losing on the issue. I got zero percent of what...

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Also cant help but notice you did not acknowledge federal minimum wage increases and the universal Healthcare provisions that 100 precent were part of the GND and Biden did not do.

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad The GND did make vague gestures towards the US building a full HSR program but it never ironed out specifics because the actual GND never got anywhere close to passing. Alot of details were left to be ironed out in the actual negotiating process of the bill.

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Spurns HSR on a conceptual level a "green new deal"?

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad So you understand how bad short length domestic flights are for the environment? There are good fucking reasons a top tier HSR line is basically becoming the symbol of modern environmentally conscious nation. How can you call any group of bills that almost entirely....

@Cosmic_Trung @DisinfoIsBad I think I would have fucking noticed a new WPA. I would have gucking noticed a new Hoover damn. I would have noticed a new Emergency Banking Relief Act. I see none of those things.

@Protectorofmice @DisinfoIsBad Of course you fucks were so into gaza that you didn't notice at all.

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Absent. Show me the GNDs equivalent to the Hoover damn? Wheres the New WPA? Did a single banking regulation anywhere as major as the Emeregency Banking Relief act? You'd think after 2008 some banking regulations might be due. But no cause it wasn't a Green New Deal.

@presidentholt @DisinfoIsBad Materially improved. I look around, and I see NONE of this. Maybe you could twist yourself into a not and say all those bills together technically marginally advanced a couple goals of the GND but the transformational spirit of a actual Green "NEW DEAL" was entirely...
