You just need to travel... in fact, expierncing the unique cultures and their traits is part of the benefit of traveling.
You mean people have culture that is closely linked to their nationality? Funny that. Yes countries have cultures that create different norms in different regions.
Huh? Why did you assume I was talking about anti-fascism, that isnt the attitude to which I was referring.
I was talking about your polarization and your desire to label people aggressively and unfairly, NOT if you like fascists or not.
Overpopulation certainly helps spread diseases much faster. No doubt there.
Some years ago, I ran a business with friend who was black. I was round his place one night whilst there was a programme about the USA in the 50 and 60 on TV. It occurred to me that, during the time I had known him, there were quite a few places in the southern states of the USA where it would have been, if not unlawful, at least inadvisable for me to go into a bar with my partner for a beer. Maybe there still are.
> there's nothing about billionaires here. open economies lead to less poverty and more wealth concentration. that doesn't mean you can't then do something about the latter without putting more people back in poverty.
There literally is you can set whatever filters you want including billionaire
Sorry about that I'm off the phone now.
I basically gave two charts. The first shows world wide poverty rates since the 1800s: https://cepr.shorthandstories.com/history-poverty/
Then for wealth disparity itself (top 0.001% wealth) you go here:
https://fgeerolf.com/data/wid/index.html#European_Union,_United_States
Though you may need to copy the code and run it locally and change it to global to see the correlation first hand.
You can even break it out by country and show just USA if you want.
The correlation between percentage in poverty and wealth disparity is strong and shows a very suggestive connection where more people or wealth concentrated in fewer people results in fewer people in poverty. In other words you only have low poverty when you have more billionaires historically.
Now your turn, show me your data that contradicts this.
@thomasfuchs once you calculate in inflations its just $20
That wasnt what I asked, I asked what events or laws, and what dates constitute this change in open economies. Which we can then check to see if those dates cause corelation.
As for me, I have stated specifically the correlation, that you will se a close following and correlation between two specific data points: wealth disparity, and percentage below the poverty line over long-periods. I have even provided specific numbers to this effect and a chart at one point (happy to give those again).
Still waiting on yours so we can check the correlations there and compare.
@SusanBee Medical professionals, who have a higher risk of dealing with sick people and are a very clear vector absolutely should be masking up.
@Gina If you want me to just let me know and give me the number and what to ask and ill be happy to call for you.
I can link you to the source if you want it.. But look at the front page of my personal web page to see it in action:
Note it can combine the output from multiple gitlab servers so my output you see is the combination of https://git.qoto.org and https://gitlab.com
Sure what are friends for.
Did you see the javascript widget I wrote for displaying this calander commit graph on any random website.
@Gina Would you like me to call for you?
