Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on January 23, 2023 13:12:16Every company sees its workers as disposable. That's why we invented unions.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on January 23, 2023 12:55:24If corporations want to maintain or increase profit margins when input costs are rising, that will absolutely contribute to inflation. Remember profit is fundamentally a cost in economic theory. It is the return on the entrepreneurship factor of production and is basically the price the business owner wants to charge for running that business versus another.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on January 21, 2023 09:51:49It's a Simpsons quote from Sideshow Bob, but it was intended more as a commentary that Keir was managing to satisfy both the consciences of the nation and also the thirst for vengeance.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on January 20, 2023 14:21:56Your consciences may force you to vote Democrat. But deep down we know long for a Republican to lower taxes, brutalise criminals and rule you like a king.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on January 20, 2023 12:49:46It's ran by the state because the private sector won't supply it to the optimal level required by society.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on January 20, 2023 09:46:45Sounds awfully socialist to me. Why can't the system pull itself up by its bootstraps?
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on January 20, 2023 09:46:02Let me introduce you to the concept of a public good. This is something that is beneficial to society to have but will not be provided (or will be under provided) by the private sector due to a lack of profit opportunities.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on January 16, 2023 09:27:31"All the bad things are socialism and all the good things are capitalism"
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on January 16, 2023 09:22:55Mate, the people setting the legislative agenda in the US are libertarian lobby groups. You have extreme capitalism where the only concern is how much money they can loot from the economy and turn over to the financial sector. If socialism is causing all the bad things and is so powerful why doesn't America have socialised healthcare?

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/Everton on January 5, 2023 10:46:28Power is a zero sum game. I would also say that the US suffers from an appalling level of regulator and legislative capture due to the power of corporate money and lobbyists to get the laws they want. You want to deal with corporate power you regulate corporate lobbying and give government the power to fine, regulate and imprison as necessary.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on January 5, 2023 09:21:57I'm holding out hope that the Telegraph is just going to be the latest entity he lies to.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on January 5, 2023 02:38:00Because wealthy people's MPC for housing is a ways above that of poorer people so increasing supply means that you let the rich but more houses without ever getting prices to a level where the poor can afford them.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/Xcom on December 9, 2022 10:26:28It's a modpack that you overlay onto longwar. The basic structure and difficulty is there but a lot of the mechanics have changed (no overwatch creeping for example)

That's roughly 50% of managers. So they (along with Prospect) have come up with a deal that sets half of their managerial staff against the other half. They're also putting the next payrise back to Sep23 instead of Apr23 Also remember that over the last three years in total BT gave an aggregate of 2% to those workers in pay increases whilst increasing prices by over 20%. And that BT have asked the government to subsidise their social tariffs for people on low incomes. And BT generates billions in profit.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/Everton on November 28, 2022 18:09:14The UK voluntarily de industrialised which is why it's a basket case today. It was strong on financial service because it had been strong on financial services since the 18th century when the only real competition was from Amsterdam. I think that's pretty much what South Korea and China did though.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on November 28, 2022 18:08:31But the whole point is that if Argentina decided to go into smartphones its industry would need protection until it could compete with global smartphones. China was not a world leader in tech thirty years ago. Did it make that leap under free market conditions? If every country focused on what it was good at at a specific point in time the UK would still dominate most industrial production in the world and the US would still be mostly shipping tobacco and fur.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on October 31, 2022 06:48:13"there's no money left" was a joke note left that was in the tradition of joke notes "As everyone knows, the letter was intended as a wry joke (not to mention a private one). Indeed, there is a serried tradition of ministers leaving their successors jokey private notes for when they take over the office. In 1964 when Reginald Maudling handed over the Treasury to Jim Callaghan he left a note saying: “Good luck, old cock. Sorry to leave it in such a mess!” (Taken from medium) So you're repeating bad faith Tory lies "But Corbyn" - the guy has been gone for two years and was never in power. The state of this country. The debt. The poverty. The decline. That is on the Tories. Every last gram of it.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/unitedkingdom on October 30, 2022 07:20:05If I were a drug kingpin I'd factor an attrition rate into deliveries and use that to set my market rates accordingly. So if I produce 10 tonnes of cocaine, and I want to make 100m per tonne, and I know that 20% of that cocaine will never make it to the purchaser, then I simply price my cocaine at 1000m per 8 tonnes and I've got just the same amount of money. You then use a bunch of lower level people to handle the delivery meaning it can't be traced back to you. Note : I am not a drug kingpin.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on September 29, 2022 16:32:01But it's not an educated guess. There's huge suites of simulation ran to get economic models working as accurately. It's just really really complicated and subject to shocks from both inside and outside the system.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/unitedkingdom on September 29, 2022 08:18:12Economics is like forecasting the weather. It's a closed system but every bit is interacting with every other bit.

You can spend more than you earn providing you can pay it back in the future - debt built the world you live in today.

That is a clear case of a situation where the private sector won't take on the risk to provide a socially essential service. If the state doesn't step in at that point the service doesn't get provided (or gets provided at a price no one can afford)

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/unitedkingdom on August 9, 2022 11:14:23Gordon Brown didn't run the country into the ground. The US financial sector blew up due to irresponsible lending and threatened to take a chunk of the global economy with it. That necessitated taking on a shitton (technical term) of public debt to protect the UK banking sector as they were exposed to the collapse in the US. That gave the Tories the ability to spin the yarn about Labour financial irresponsibility which they then used to gut public services for the last twelve years. Hence why the country is in the ground (see also : Brexit)

However it is in no way a repudiation of green energy initiatives or the need to get off of fossil fuels as quickly as possible.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on August 2, 2022 09:31:04What's the better path though? Be poorer because wages get transferred into corporate profits (and benefits like final salary or defined benefit pensions) and then hope that a sliver of that money that you put to one side performs better over time Or Using the nation's wealth to benefit everyone, and reducing corporate profit because more of it is transferred to workers in the form of wages and better pensions? I'd also say that historically when interest rates were higher that was far better for pensions than trying to navigate the stock market.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on July 27, 2022 13:05:41I think the point is that companies contribute to a profit-price spiral. Their costs go up so they push up prices to compensate for the loss in profits. However at the same time they hold down wages to the best of their ability so you effectively those profits bulwarked by transfers from the lower paid sectors of the economy.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on July 25, 2022 09:17:50I always suspect that the job of the Guardian is drive people to the Lib Dems.

So since then I've been very sceptical about what the Guardian is actually trying to achieve.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/collapse on July 21, 2022 03:28:19Well sequestration is designed to capture carbon and store it, and this is designed to make fuel to be burnt thereby putting the carbon back in the atmosphere.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/LabourUK on July 18, 2022 11:11:47Wait so you have to pay for the drugs awareness course? So if you can't afford to pay for that, you then get a larger fine which presumably you also can't pay?

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/unitedkingdom on July 15, 2022 11:30:52I'm just in the latter stages of a K2 run and I've enjoyed the extra complexity it brought without being utterly overwhelming. More liquids, gases and wood! You wind up using modules and beacons a lot more to manage space Sand! You'll never have enough and then you'll have too much. A moderate late game beyond rocket launching.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/factorio on July 15, 2022 05:48:45But that would mean that the people pushing that line were a bunch of wreckers more interested in removing Corbyn than anything else. And the Guardian told me that isn't true.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/starsector on July 13, 2022 15:47:48Refinancing your debt makes sense if you can get a better interest rate on it. However interest rates have risen considerably since the debt was taken out so unless Truss is going to pay it off over 200 years rather than 20 I'm not sure how this moves us forward. At this point why not just sell the NHS and use the money to eradicate inheritance tax.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/economy on July 13, 2022 11:10:51The feeling is mutual.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/unitedkingdom on July 12, 2022 19:19:42The lesson of 2008 was that it was a failure of regulation of the banks that caused the economy to go pop. Public spending was conservative prior to this and only spiked in the aftermath. Go and have a look at who Javid was working for six months prior to the banking crash.
Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/unitedkingdom on July 12, 2022 19:18:31I'm not sure they are done trying.

Commented by /u/thecarbonkid in /r/collapse on July 8, 2022 06:04:02Billionaires represent the unprecedented ability to concentrate wealth. That in turns represents the ability to capture regulatory and governmental structures to facilitate said concentration by eviscerating environmental and tax law.
