The government can not and does not directly spend the money it prints.

@posrev

@icedquinn I was friends with a tax man. He turned out to be a POS but I can maybe shine some light on their thinking.

They think they are doing a public service. They arent really anti-rich usually or anything like that. But they do think they are making america a better place by doing a necessary service.

I just realized I havent gallivanted in a while... I need to do some gallivanting...

@thor

There are many reasons. One of them is just that its hard to see little things adding up. Its a common mistake, you go food shopping and get a bunch of things that are 3.99 and seem shocked the bill is 300$.

@realcaseyrollins

I dont mind them ignoring the UN. I do mind them not presenting their case in international court far more so

@kravietz

All I know is I havent seen that extra care so far, and dont expect to... at a minimum.

@Gbudd

I gave a link to an online tool that does it well. I usually work on large teams at the same time in latex.

The practical one is the same one I told casey rollins... If i were in charge of israel the first thing I probably would do is

1) give back significant land that is more disputed as a apology
2) invade pallestine **completely** with the intent of taking over the government. I would however do so with extra care not to kill civilians even if that meant taking a reaasonably higher risk for my troops, again in a gesture
3) Install a temporary transitional government, perhapse ask the UN to oversee it for neutrality reasons. The intent would be to get democracy in place, and get rid of the hammas population or those who are violent in general. This may take several years
4) During the transitional government you slowly remove the fences and form formal relationships with palestine
5) and this is most important, once things have stabalized in a decade (and you promise this upfront) they get full autonomy of bother their land and the land given in #1 (which would transition to them pro rata anyway)
6) At the end of the process once the radicalized element is removed you promise them a choice, and its completely up to them, a) they can dissolve their country and become full citizens of israel or b) you can continue as your own country and go your own way.

I think #6 is also important because since it was their country first they should get the choice of a one state or two state solution.

But the other points are important to understand that these solutions need to ensure the safety of everyone, so it has to be a process.

@mjambon

So ill answer both.

> I wonder what you want to use LaTeX for in your business.

We are a company that has a product thatis very math heavy (or at least will once we release it). So there is a need for a lot of math. Sadly that means latex if you also want to be text-based (as in can use git on it to diff) and open-source, which are also important things.

> I would love to use it if someone could tell me how we can have multiple people edit and view the same document at the same time in the middle of a

Oh thats easy: overleaf.com/

Its basically google docs like setup but specifically for latex.

@Gbudd

@kravietz

Look we started out pretty respectful, and both of us are going off the wrong end here.... lets take a step back. I got no issue with you, obviously there was a miscommunication, its not a big deal, now its clarified so regardless of what you wanted me to mean or what you thought I meant we both know what we meant to say now, no big deal.

@freepeoplesfreepress @realcaseyrollins

@freemo The LaTeX requirement will definitely thin the herd! (I really like LaTeX right up until I need to collaborate with someone that doesn’t use it)

@Gbudd So the latext requirement is a bit looser than that.. its something like this:

"Must be expiernced in either markdown or latext and willing to learn latex and use it on a daily basis"

So we are ok if they just know markdown but if thats the case they still need to be eager learners.

And I agree most latex noobs are very unpleasant to work with. I myself am not a latext expert. I mostly know how to get around well enough for a little above a basic level. Most of the fancy stuff I've done has just been integrating stuff from online snippets or libraries.

@kravietz

The very first words of my last response were:

> No you said “If I was israel” not “in control”

So take a guess...
