#ecomonics

[roger-elizabeth-debris]

Well, @yetanotherdayofdrudgery, if you were economically literate in the slightest, you'd know that the existence of even a single billionaire is a massive drain on any economy due to the massive amount of resources they are pulling out of the economy. Like, the money multiplier effect is literally econ 101, ie, having a billionaire dollars means said billion dollars is not in the economy at all. So, yeah, literally throwing a billion dollars at anything other than another billionaire or a government means that money is being used and circulated in the economy.

Congrats I guess on failing econ 101 tho and pointing fingers at "economic illiterates" tho, good job.

Furthermore, a billionaire cannot exist without exploitation, so I mean, the selfishness comment isn't out of pocket lmao

Just love picturing /r/antiwork-ers hanging out with billionaires on the weekend talking about motives for public philanthropy efforts.

As for the post itself, there's definitely an argument to be made that billionaires have a strong motivation for PR related reasons to donate, but there is very little motivation for them to do it for tax breaks. They are almost always better off financially moving their money through other mediums.

Begging tumblr mfers to stop calling capitalism the most exploitative economic system in history.

Capitalism is the exploitative economic system that we live under, and it has reached its reactionary era. It is the driver of nearly all suffering that currently exists and it serves no purpose, history will not progress until Capital, the bourgeoisie state, and wage labour are abolished. Despite this, Slavery existed as the dominant mode of production at one point. As did feudalism. It is ahistorical to consider Capitalism the most exploitative ecomonic system to have ever existed, it betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of Marx and his work, and it makes the people who say it seem stupid and misinformed.

liveleaker is the only hope for this nation

Not very true Id probably cause great ecomonic distress

What do you think Charles and Gion's ideal types are?

From what I've noticed in the comics of prince series, Charles and Gion are the most ambitious and power-hungry type. (Not that others aren't power-hungry themselves)

Keeping in mind that these are young royals who will ascend the throne in their future as the new leaders, I'd like to say that these two would either want someone powerful. More specifically their equals or slightly lesser than them.

Reasons?

They themselves are powerful enough. They would want someone as their equal to love and respect. Anything less than that would tranish the good name and reputation They have.

They have to care for themselves before caring for their partners. They don't want anyone to drag them down.

Next, power means connections.

Reasons

It is undeniable that royalty cared about the connections they make. Having a powerful partner who is also an ally in political, ecomonical and social aspects is important.

I doubt these two would care for someone lesser than them if they do not provide good use for them.

This may be why Prince Gion is still single. He is a perfect being with high standards. Anyone lesser would tarnish his precious reputation.

As for Prince Charles with Carla. I have no words for this. I personally think that Charles is looking to establish his position in the high society and Carla is an easy target to use.

Of course, with power comes great responsibility. To have responsibility, you need knowledge. Therefore, they will want a witty and knowledgeable partner.

Reasons

Once again, reputation.

They have the entire world looking at them through the mass media.

Of course, once you have power and brains, beauty is just a bonus.

In conclusion, they will want power, brains and beauty—unless they are trying to achieve something else.

Take note that this is purely my own opinions and ideas. We are free to think as we like so no hate here.

Thank you.

You teach at a magic school, but you do not teach any magic. In fact, you are not even a mage. Yet your classes are among the few that every student has to take, no matter what kind of magic they are studying.

i love jane austen fandom because so much character analysis comes down to people arguing about the ecomonics of upper class english households from 200 years ago

Election ramblings: Looking at manifestos, I'm very torn between green and lib dem. I like the green manifesto, I think their ecomonics make sense but most of their decisions feel whole and useful toward the UK as a whole. However, their anti-nuclear stance is unscientific and makes it hard for me to want to vote for them. A lib-dem vote might have to be the way I go because my constituency is basically lib-dem v.s. tory. BUT I have seen a huge amount of Vote Green placards in gardens so maybe i'll vote green fuck it who even gives a shit anymore.

[stoneantler]

my boss just asked me for a one page summary of the ecomonic conditions that lead to the rapid suburbanization of our city in the 60s. He then plans to use this page to make a 30second throw away comment on the issue in a departmental presentation. I'm so tempted to send him this 900 page dissertation I just found that answers his question.

KotS | Galatra | Fun facts

Galatra society is split in two ways: the region (north, south, east, west) someone lives in and their ecomonic class. [Basically like real life but I have funny names for them :)]

Regional stereotypes

Northerner

The high class region of Galatra, the people that live there are generally connected to the dissolved noble class.

Generally stuck up and pretentious.

Having unblemished skin is seen as odd in Galatra, but northerners make a point of not getting into scuffles or doing hard labor.

Artisans often live in this area, specifically painters and sculptors.

Before the kingdom was found, the northern tribe of this region was the largest of the old tribes, and while not the most physically fit, used siege tactics to absorb the other tribes into their own. Basically, the kingdom of Galatra was formed from the northern region’s conquest.

Westerner

The business center of Galatra, this region is very similar to the northern region in the perception that everyone there is rich, but in reality there are far less wealthymen than not.

The birthplace of Galatra’s Industrial Revolution.

People from the west are seen as more approachable than northerners, but are similarly distrusted by most people.

Western names often include hyphens, which is a layover from the tribal days where parents would name their children after themselves. Example: name of father- Hof-Niko + name of mother- Olga-Kyvn = name of child- Kyvn-Hof (paternal) or Niko-Olga (maternal).

The western tribe was the first to be assumed into the northern tribe due to outside pressures of an enemy country as the only tribe that shared a boarder with them. The western boarder has shrunk since then.

Southern

The south is the brightest region of Galatra, known for bright colors and special grown plants, glowvers, that emit light.

The people are seen as loud, bold, and foul mouthed. More extravagant folk moved down south, making the region the entertainment capital of the kingdom.

Southern people are usually on two ends of a bell-curve; if someone is really short, they’re probably from the south, and if someone is really tall, they’re probably from the south. The south is not average.

Commonly found artisan goods are usually food related, like pastries, bread, or wine. This is because the south has the best access to the coast, and therefore first dips on imported goods. Other region’s businessmen are eager to wedge in the market.

The southern tribe fought the hardest against northern conquest. They were generally more physically skilled than other tribes, but when cut off from inland wood for fire or mines for coal, the tribe slowly succumbed.

Docks

Most Galatrians see the docks as synonymous to the south, but the region has a lot of cultural differences.

The south has a great emphasis on individuality, more family before community, while the docks generally try to fold community into a family structure. Neighbors are expected to act like aunts or uncles, where one family can watch another’s children with the expectation the favor will be returned eventually.

In a general sense, it’s like the western region and the southern region fused and allowed immigration.

The region runs up from the southern to the western coast of Galatra, and the people living there make trade in exporting and importing after the Industrial Revolution.

Home of Galatra’s first ship and fleet.

In the past, members of the southern tribe that were able to flee the northern siege ended up at the coast. When they arrived, they met a population of banished members of the enemy country. Since then the docks have become a rich culture of both nations.

Eastern

A highly distrusted population in Galatra, home of witchcraft and other such taboos

The east is a very quiet region, known for a mixture of infamous warriors, mages, and philosophers. Artisan goods from here are literature, paints, and talismans.

Purple is a very popular color in Galatra and the fibers that make the dye were grown almost exclusively in the eastern tribes before the Industrial Revolution. Trade was very beneficial to the east as purple dye was inexpensive to make locally. Through constant trade, northern tribes slowly developed walls around the eastern tribes, and only through habit did the eastern tribes become a part of the kingdom, officially becoming a Galatra region right before the first war.

Actually building a border around the eastern tribes was a difficult task. Most easterners could care less about the other regions and their developments. Frequently northern contractors building the border would be interrupted by an eastern family asking why they were building something on their gardens, or construction being undone overnight.

To this day the eastern border is fuzzy, and where exactly the region begins and ends depends on who you ask and when. A large sprawl of now-abandoned timber fields between the east and north further complicates matters.

3 Nephi, Chapter 10. Part 4: Zenos and Zenock.

Zenos is knowledge, Zenock "the leap" is its embodiment. These refer specifically to a process by which the Holy Ghost enters the flesh and performs its works of faith through mankind.

Every religion has scriptures which testify to what this looks like on the outside: do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, do not covet, do not slander, etc. The ability to do these things and become Christlike anointed of God is the end point of holding back on the performance of these things.

The Book of Mormon says if we do, we leave a seed behind that shows others how and why to do the same things. Without these seeds the seat of civilization has potential to crumble as we are seeing. All the scriptures forbid granting power to persons like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin but we have done it. Now we must focus on what the religion says to do about it becuase things cannot continue.

To veil the mind and the entire planet with ideas about the feasibility of future attacks and expansions of cruel corrupt regimes "post election" is a sin. These things and their orginators must be stopped now, today, and the lives they have touched must be given everything they need in order to resume civilization:

15 Behold, I say unto you, Yea, many have testified of these things at the coming of Christ, and were slain because they testified of these things.

16 Yea, the prophet Zenos did testify of these things, and also Zenock spake concerning these things, because they testified particularly concerning us, who are the remnant of their seed.

17 Behold, our father Jacob also testified concerning a remnant of the seed of Joseph. And behold, are not we a remnant of the seed of Joseph? And these things which testify of us, are they not written upon the plates of brass which our father Lehi brought out of Jerusalem?

18 And it came to pass that in the ending of the thirty and fourth year, behold, I will show unto you that the people of Nephi who were spared, and also those who had been called Lamanites, who had been spared, did have great favors shown unto them, and great blessings poured out upon their heads, insomuch that soon after the ascension of Christ into heaven he did truly manifest himself unto them—

19 Showing his body unto them, and ministering unto them; and an account of his ministry shall be given hereafter. Therefore for this time I make an end of my sayings.

There must be an account and ministry, Zenos and Zenock. From these come the law and duty and they are clear: we need to spare the rest of the human race the horror proposed by Donald Trump and the savages that follow him, kill Vladimir Putin and his enablers and bless the Russian people and their neighbors with a real government and its ecomonics.

I will never understand why we allowed things to become so awful. We sat and watched and deliberated, but drew no conclusions at all that these people might really need our help and be glad for it. To deny the importance of such gladness all around the world, to avoid wanting to see it given back to us is the antithesis of the practice of religion.

15 Questions, 15 People

Thank you to @steves-babysitter for the tag! I won’t be tagging anyone so feel free to do this if you wish!! 

1. Are you named after anyone?

My mum was watching a movie and the character’s name was Rachel - apparently the character was a real bitch, so you could say I was named after a bitch!

2. When was the last time you cried?

Ummm, a couple of weekends ago when my partner said he wasn’t going to stay over.

No, I’m a tad too old to start having any. I have a fur baby instead.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yep - probably more than I should!

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Probably their face and height, then wait and see what the personality is like. (In regards to my partner, he sent me a pic of a certain body part, so that’s what I noticed first! Plus he was a guy I went to high school with, so I already knew what his face looked like!)

6. What's your eye color?

Hazel/brown - they seem to change 

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings for sure! (Duffer brothers, this includes you - ST5 better have a happy ending!!) I can’t do scary movies at all!!! 

8. Any special talents?

Not really - I can knit and am good at cross stitch too - not sure if they are talents though.

9. Where were you born?

Melbourne, Australia

10. What are your hobbies?

Knitting, watching TV - usually the same shows over and over (mainly Friends, The Big Bang Theory and Stranger Things!), spending time with my man or with my bestie.

11. Do you have any pets?

I have my fur baby, my 17 year old cat Tabatha, she has been in my life since the day she was born in my housemate’s wardrobe - she’s my four legged bestie

12. What sports do you play/have played?

I did gymnastics when I was really young and was pretty crap at it. Played hockey and netball as a teen - was a brutal hockey player. Won the grand final in my first and only year playing netball so I have a cool trophy, that’s all I wanted!

13. How tall are you?

5'9" or 175cm 

14. Favorite subject in school?

I liked English, I really liked writing short stories but a lot of the teachers at my high school only seemed to like helping the cool kids - and I was not one of those! I also liked Home Ecomonics/Catering cos it was always about cooking!

15. Dream job?

I wanted to be so many things when I was a kid but my mum would always find a way to discourage me. If I was brave enough, I’d like to be famous - actor or stand up comedian - but I’m not brave and don’t think I have the talent to do either
