      Haha that's both funny and scary at the same time that in the game school provides a happiness boost while in real life it makes people sad.

    • @PoliticalAndTheologicalStudy
      @PoliticalAndTheologicalStudy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      @Kamyck I'm a firm believer in Keynesian economic theory. It should be the obligation of the government to support the citizens otherwise you have taxation without representation. Right-wing/Top down economics didn't work in feudal England for the same reason it didn't work in the 30's during the depression, or help under Regan. All it did was further entrench the economic disparity between the highest and lowest earners.

    • @cdawg3506
      @cdawg3506 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Politicalandtheologicalstudy nah bot really suppressing lol. It cant grow anymore without inflation. Also that’s with liberals and the minimum wage, its meant as a temporary wage not permanent, if you’ve managed to become a fully grown adult still making minimum wage, you’ve got problems. Liberal politicians have factually and statistically been more corrupt. Most appear to look ‘progressive’ because their mindless followers wont see the corruption, and they can get ‘donations’ from progressive corporations

    • @cdawg3506
      @cdawg3506 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Politicalandtheologicalstudy nah, Keynesian never properly worked, all it does is slowly equalize everyone to a plateau . Reaganomics or trickle down economics work. People argue that corporations with just bank the cash but thats not realistic. Corporations love to make money right, so if they run into a tax cut businesses will reinvest and create more jobs and that will also allow for raises and bonuses to the employees more so than before

      I mean, to be fair, you already started such a discussion in that you asserted an underlying political argument. You implied that with taxes being so high, so would be welfare programs, so much so that there would be no reason to complain because the mayor is "paying for it all" (when in reality taxes come from the people, not the state, so the mayor is actually paying often times nothing out of his own pocket).

      @@NPCSN The Tiananmen Square protests or Tiananmen Square Incident, commonly known in mainland China as the June Fourth Incident (Chinese: 六四事件; pinyin: liùsì shìjiàn, literally six-four incident), were student-led demonstrations held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing during 1989. The popular national movement inspired by the Beijing protests is sometimes called the '89 Democracy Movement (Chinese: 八九民運; pinyin: bājiǔ mínyùn). The protests started on April 15 and were forcibly suppressed on June 4 when the government declared martial law and sent the military to occupy central parts of Beijing. In what became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre (Chinese: 天安門大屠殺; pinyin: tiān'ānmén dà túshā), troops with assault rifles and tanks fired at the demonstrators and those trying to block the military's advance into Tiananmen Square. Estimates of the death toll vary from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands more wounded.
      Set off by the death of pro-reform Communist general secretary Hu Yaobang in April 1989, amid the backdrop of rapid economic development and social changes in post-Mao China, the protests reflected anxieties about the country's future in the popular consciousness and among the political elite. The reforms of the 1980s had led to a nascent market economy which benefited some people but seriously disaffected others, and the one-party political system also faced a challenge of legitimacy. Common grievances at the time included inflation, corruption, limited preparedness of graduates for the new economy, and restrictions on political participation. The students called for greater accountability, constitutional due process, democracy, freedom of the press, and freedom of speech, although they were highly disorganized and their goals varied. At the height of the protests, about 1 million people assembled in the Square.
      As the protests developed, the authorities responded with both conciliatory and hardline tactics, exposing deep divisions within the party leadership. By May, a student-led hunger strike galvanized support for the demonstrators around the country, and the protests spread to some 400 cities. Ultimately, China's paramount leader Deng Xiaoping and other Communist Party elders believed the protests to be a political threat and resolved to use force. The State Council declared martial law on May 20 and mobilized as many as 300,000 troops to Beijing. The troops advanced into central parts of Beijing on the city's major thoroughfares in the early morning hours of June 4, killing both demonstrators and bystanders in the process.
      The international community, human rights organizations, and political analysts condemned the Chinese government for the massacre. Western countries imposed arms embargoes on China. The Chinese government made widespread arrests of protesters and their supporters, suppressed other protests around China, expelled foreign journalists, strictly controlled coverage of the events in the domestic press, strengthened the police and internal security forces, and demoted or purged officials it deemed sympathetic to the protests. More broadly, the suppression halted the policies of liberalization in the 1980s. Considered a watershed event, the protests set the limits on political expression in China up to the present day. Its memory is widely associated with questioning the legitimacy of Communist Party rule and remains one of the most sensitive and most widely censored topics in China.
