The embedded picture is broken, at least on my end.

Unfortunately I think you have a correlation confused with causation. 90s was tech and internet boom. Of course you would have growth. Early 2000s was 911 and war in iraq, late 2000s was housing crash. Those probably have more to do with it than tax cuts.

I'm not saying tax cuts are good for the economy, I'm pretty neutral on it. Domestic government spending is good for the economy generally so as long as the cuts don't affect that then we're good to go.

You should read the article, which says just that.

The point is that you can't look at tax increases or tax cuts and claim that either one will magically solve your problem. Which is what those arguing for tax cuts have been doing.

Where do they find these people? I mean, I know a lot of people who have a blind spot to their own racism that is pretty huge, but I don't think that any of them would fail to recognize "yes is what a blatantly ridiculous racist, and absolutely no one else, would say here...so I'll say no."

I want Canada's butt.

I like how they got down to a svelte silhouette with a likable butt and they were still at the eighth most obese country in the world. By the time they got to twenty they'd have been at a stick figure and still have had 176 more to go.

I think it was The Colbert report that said that China had more people but the US was still larger by total combined weight. Tried to find a clip but google is useless when it comes to finding certain things.

That seems unlikely, but even the trace of doubt is scary.

TBH, Canada's figure there is not good; it just looks decent when compared to Barron Harkonnen US

 

[JohannaK]

Yeah, but the butt is good enough. Hungary's is tiny.

Well in the US there are 12.2 adults per tonne.

I have not found the figure for China but Vietnam and North Korea have 19.7 and 19.0 respectively.

https://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1471-2458-12-439.pd

So the weight of US (assuming children weigh the same as adults) 324 million people/12.2 = 26.6 million tonne

Assume 19 Chinese adults per tonne 1382/19 = 72.7 million tonne

^China's population is 1,4 billion? I still thought it was around 1,2. Crazyness... In the early 1940s the ENTIRE global population was 2 billion.

Wake up and smell the neighbors Kyriakos. Keep up with the times.

That's like people on unemployment/disability benefits voting for the Tories.

 

[Cutlass]

And pretty close to everything Trump has done and supported since taking office is designed to screw anyone who isn't rich for no other purpose than to make the rich richer.
