Austerity is Murder

You know how we artificially back our currency today? Taxation??? No, that is substantively how we do it today. No, the real answer is austerity. We back our currency by forced unemployment and misery.
What in the world would make "progressives" more focused on false evidence appearing real (F.E.A.R.) than the truth?
One can only speculate as the the "why" behind it.
But one thing is absolutely clear. The wealthy have benefited from the brazen recalcitrance of "the left" and their heroes who have, in essence, conceded the war and have chosen to back our currency with NAIRU or government forced unemployment via monetary policy.
So, remember the next time someone has the sac to say "the value of muh dollar" remind them it isn't the petrodollar holding it up... it is forced misery on the poor and the destitute. Fuck eating our peas. #EndAusterity #StopNeoliberalism
NAIRU is the new gold standard.

Time to institute the Labor Standard and peg the economy to jobs via a Federal Job Guarantee.

There is a chilling undertone to the concern trolling many academics and people of means have doubled down on recently with the rise of #MMT and the crss "activists" who, plain spoken in nature, strike back hard against the economic narratives placing them in bomdage and despair
I have been long term unemployed due to a variety of reasons, none of which have anything to do with a lack of education, credentials or experience. I have lost my healthcare, seen arthritis ravage my body and walk with a severely torn meniscus I cannot afford to repair.
A special needs son who requires my full energy and attention as I struggled to find a job that had the flex and the pay to both support our family and simultaneously allow me to effectively care for my young son.

Let's clear up something that is really grating to the nerves.

1. We do not just "print money"... you wouldn't be a murderer for saying it... you would just be economically misguided.

1/x
2. The government ALWAYS creates new money when it spends and ALWAYS destroys money when it taxes. So the very notion of "printing more money" drives knowledgeable people even crazier.
3. If government spending is just "printing money" then taxing is simply "unprinting money". It's a circuit.

Not understanding economics and how it ties together with politics is fine... many don't get it.
But pushing partisan nonsense at me like I am supposed to ignore truth to support your fanboy fiction isn't gonna fly.

1/x
If you don't understand the term neoliberal and find it offensive when used... that is your problem. The hive mentality of the vote blue apologists is bordering on pathological.
It is literally impossible to have a discussion about facts ranging from economics to geopolitical strategy or civil liberties because they are steeped in a religion... deifying "vote blue"... they have forsaken the ability to think beyond just falling back into the hive.

According to Brexit the Uncivil War

Leave campaign influenced the majority of people by placing Facebook posts and other social media methods.based on collating information

and applying complex algorithms based on social behavioral patterns.
The show enforced so many dubious cliches though.

It kind of enforced the notion that any movement came be forced by social media influence.

Is this because people need to fear social media and NOT regard it as a means of individuals combining to otherthrow oppression?
The characters who were supposed to represent the different attitudes towards Brexit made Eastenders characters look overly complex.

The way that they depict people trawling billions of social media accounts, millions of which are fake bot accounts themselves is hilarious.

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.
This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/
A few example of flat earth videos that were promoted by YouTube #today:

Did #Austerity Cause #Brexit? I have received some comments on the paper that have engaged with the data, but am more than happy to stand my ground. Here is why...
Recently, Noah Carl @NuffieldCollege studied national level opinion poll time series, arguing that the lack of evidence of an uptick in post 2010 support for Leave is evidence suggesting that austerity had nothing to do with #Brexit. See his comment here osf.io/zbgt3/
So what are the problems with this approach.
1) Opinion polls do not rely on the same sampling population, so a lot of time variation that is so crucial given the tight referendum results are well within the margins of error

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

I understand that @scottishlabour needs a lot of work, but it's a shame you are unwilling to talk about this. Forgive me if i push ahead without you, but please feel free to jump in at any time.
