A mature believer knows the truth and has the proper medium of love and care to share the gospel and truth correctly. Ephesians 4:15 (NASB95) but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, tbibl.es/cesk

@BernieSanders “Fair share” would mean raising taxes on the poor. The rich already do their part:

@BernieSanders Bernie is so dishonest. You don’t have a right to someone’s else money and after you take from them you will take from us. You’re just trying to set the precedent

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

Kilmeade: What do you say to people like Bernie Sanders who says billionaires don't pay their fair share? Dimon: I don't know what he means by fair share

This is so stupid. Bernie wants to tax what you OWN every single year. Not what you earn. What you own. Say you're a farmer. Your land is worth $2 million. But farming had a bad year and you only made $80,000. Bernie wants 5% of $2 million. That's $100,000. ..but you only made $80,000. You now owe more in taxes than you made... So you sell the farm to pay for the taxes. That's the wealth tax. Also, most of billionaires "wealth" is stock in companies they built. If Elon Musk owes $5 billion in wealth taxes, he doesn't write a check. He sells his Tesla shares. The stock drops. Your 401k ALSO DROPS. It's an insanely stupid idea and everyone but Bernie knows it.

Bernie thinks this is "fair" because he starts from the premise that your wealth belongs to the collective and you are permitted to keep what it decides you don't need. "You'd still have $2.5 billion" is not an argument for fairness. It is a looter calculating how much he can take before the victim fights back. Fairness is not determined by how much the victim has left. It is determined by whether the taking was justified. A man who robs you of $100 and leaves you $1,000 has not been "fair." He is still a thief. Rights are not proportional to net worth. They are absolute.

These. Are. Concentration. Camps.
Gianl1974@Gianl1974

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

O socialismo real pode ter sido uma das piores experiências já realizadas pela humanidade. Em um paper recente os economistas Andreas Bergh, Christian Bjornskov e Ludek Kouba analisaram os custos das experiências socialistas do século XX, sendo essas aquelas em que o Estado supostamente controlado pelos representantes do proletariado tomaram os meios de produção e substituíram o sistema de preços de mercado. Os pesquisadores aplicam regressões de crescimento, utilizando efeitos fixos por país e por ano para controlar variações específicas. A especificação inclui variáveis de controle padrão, como taxas de investimento, gastos governamentais, volumes de comércio, tamanho da população e um indicador de democracia. O estudo utiliza o PIB per capita da base Maddison e das Penn World Tables, além de métricas de produtividade do trabalho. De acordo com a análise dos pesquisadores, países em desenvolvimento que transitaram para o socialismo sofreram um declínio médio de 2 a 2,5% no crescimento do PIB per capita durante a primeira década da experiência. Em termos práticos, para uma economia em desenvolvimento, esse experimento ideológico representou uma perda de renda de aproximadamente U$ 400 por habitante apenas nos primeiros cinco anos de regime. O problema central identificado não reside apenas na falta de capital, mas na destruição sistemática da produtividade total dos fatores. O estudo revela que as perdas na produtividade do trabalho são ainda mais acentuadas que as do PIB, chegando a 2,9% em alguns modelos. Isso ocorre porque, ao suprimir o sistema de preços, o regime elimina a bússola que coordena a escassez e o conhecimento disperso na sociedade. Sem incentivos para a inovação e com empresas focadas em extrair recursos do centro em vez de buscar eficiência, o desperdício se tornou a regra e os custos de agência dos trabalhadores se torna ainda mais proibitivo. Esse abismo fica evidente quando olhamos para os experimentos naturais do século XX. Em 1950, a diferença de PIB per capita entre Taiwan e a China continental era de 83%; em 1990, após décadas de divergência sistêmica, esse hiato havia saltado para impressionantes 431%. No Europa, a Áustria e a Tchecoslováquia, que eram economicamente quase equivalentes em 1950, com apenas 9% de diferença na renda per capita, viram essa distância subir para 98% no momento da queda do Muro de Berlim. Mesmo a Iugoslávia, frequentemente citada como um caso de sucesso, não escapou da tendência de divergência em relação a pares regionais. Em 1990, o hiato econômico em relação à Grécia, que enfrentou instabilidades políticas e ditaduras no mesmo período, era de 77%. Assim, no caso do socialismo real como de outras experiências autoritárias, realmente a estrada para o Inferno estava pavimentada de boas intenções. #socialism #economics #Economía #econtwitter #fintwitt

You can’t make it up. NBA player Jaden Ivey went on instagram and basically called the LGBT community sinful and was released. Miles Bridges beat his wife in front of his kids, and Josh Giddey had sex with a minor, and they are still starting on NBA teams. Explain this to me.
