With Russian mobilization lots of Russians want to leave the country to avoid being the canon meat in the war that they did not want to be on the first place. Anyone who speaks against the war are mobilized and sent to to war right away. And what the Russia's neighbouring countries do? Do they...

"would" or "will"? There is a huge difference.

If it was a widespread consensus, everyone would have sold stocks now and went into cash. It is called rational expectations. And, as a result, the stock price would have drop immediately, and not in a few days or even a few months. It is called efficient market.

If you are more than 6 ft tall and/or 250 pounds, your would be willing to spend a bit extra to avoid these small Economy seats.

Who knows what? Most of people who fly business do not care about watches and have no knowledge about them. Fling business class is about the comfort, showing off your expensive watch (or talking about it outside of watch collectors circle) is about your own insecurity.

How about getting a job? And corporate tax cuts increase investment -> increase labour productivity -> increase employment -> increase money in pockets of poor people.

Wow, you must have skipped basic Economics class in college. I think, jtk in teh above posts explains how tax cuts to corporations help in terms that even you can understand

Giving money to low income people -> increase demand -> increase inflation. Given tax break to corporations also increases the demand (for investment goods) and, through higher employment, increases people's income, and, thus, demand. However, it also increase the supply and reduces the costs of...

Now you start to realize that voting should be a privileged and only people who are willing to pay taxes above a certain threshold should be able to vote.

Wow, really? I would have never guessed. You mean, the king is not elected by the people either?

Unfortunately, now even some Russians (mostly the ones born after 1990) do not know the symbolism of the Swan Lake for modern Russian history :). I am surprised it is not forbidden in Russia yet.

This kind of short names were used for all low-class people, mostly peasants: its use to someone is not to show that he is a criminal, but to diminish his social status.

I did not know that "Duke" was an elected position.

Yes, and during the session you will find out that "all options" include touching above the waste only. I had this unfortunate experiences with girls in Brass (now Alpha) when they claim they offer GFE but during the session their definition of GFE was just a regular body slide and hugs without...

You realized that the employer was the government, not the corporation, right? (see post #4). Also, how do you feel about the 1% limit on federal employees salary increase that is going on for a few years now? Government greed?

The only remaining question: why did you wasted $250? Something happened to your phone so it cannot show the time anymore?

yes to the first, no to the second. How about cutting ALL spending and paying down the government debt instead? The debt was already huge with 1% interest rate. With 4%, it is no longer feasible for the budget. So, there are only 2 ways to pay it: (i) cut spending and start repaying it now...

Giving money to anyone fuels inflation. However, given it to poor people fuels it more because they will spend them all. It is not "Conns logic", it is basic Macroeconomics (AS/AD model) that all politicians should be familiar with.

Depends on what "something": if we want inflation to go even higher, doing it through GST rebates is the way to go (giving money to people who need them and will spend them right away is what drives the inflation)

This is what happens when a person who does not know basics Economics read economics post - he misses the sarcasm. I wanted him to do something against inflation, instead, he gives money to low-income families, which fuels the inflation.
