In the French Assembly there was a proposal going on for quite some time. In a nutshell the idea was that the French electoral districts were out of touch with reality and in need of some readjustment. Alongside with the readjustment there was supposed to be a new bill updating the necessary skills that local authorities must have.
The Senate passed the proposal (implementing a referendum) which was duly and…

Today we are releasing the sixth project. Its name is the Incompetence Socialist Index ( ISI ). This index incorporates both elements from ESSII and GFSS. It attempts to quantify how much more incompetent are our politicians compared with the USSR in terms of delivering socialism. Specifically, it measures how many times the equivalent of the expenditure of the USSR in 1990, would a country have to spend should they desire to achieve…

This is most certainly not a new concept. Throughout history every single government system has attempted to suppress thinking to one degree or another. Although you may believe that the USSR with their official policy of political persecution (i.e. dissidents) was the epitome of such tendencies, this could not be further from the truth. We only remember the USSR because it is still relatively fresh in our memory. However, if…

That’s right! What the state delivers is most certainly exclusive education. Mind you, we don’t mean that it is “exclusive” in the sense that it is an “elite” type of education, but in the sense that it “excludes” most children. How does it exclude them?

The Euronews Website has posted a series of articles about UN’s representatives' multiple statements complaining about the record high (since WWII) number of refugees and internally displaced people (50+ million). That’s a drag. Who cares right? You, us, we live in “stable” countries and if those “other” countries can’t behave, what’s that to us? We don’t live there. Not our problem, right?
Well, precisely.
It is not really our problem and it…

Sure enough, we are willing to bet that you have heard this expression before, although not in this format. The "modern" format is this: "there is not enough inflation" followed by a considerable amount of exclamation marks.
When asked why? The invariable answer is either:
a) To prevent deflation
b) To stimulate the economy
THE ROAD TO POVERTY IS PAVED WITH INFLATION
