Oh, you are pretty sure about all that? 

Then you are the one that is delusional.

In women higher testosterone is associated with better mental rotation, in men lower testosterone is associated with better spatial abilities. This seems to be true both for actual testosterone (Moffat and Hampson, 1996) and for prenatal testosterone (Grimshaw et al., 1995).

Of course they do, all pension systems are run like this. Read the documents especially how they work in the eu.

Its something like 30% paid by the employer, 30% by you, and 30% by the taxes, or something liek that, I dont know exactly.

But it is a deficit system that is for sure, more money goes out than it goes in, and the debt is accumulating exponentially.

Even if there is some "fund" that is managed, they only buy bonds with it, and negative yielding bonds in the EU are not very good isnt it?

I quote because if I dont they dont get notified of the reply, if they have that enabled in the forum settings.



3. You get out more than you pay in, which means it's a deficit system

4. You have to have new workers joining the labor force to pay out the old guys who have higher and higher life expectancy, which means it's a ponzi scheme

5. There isn't actually any funds in the pension fund, it's not like it's a segregated fund that is managed by a fund manager. It's just a tax that you pay in, which money goes into the treasury of the government, and the money they pay out gets paid directly from taxes. (It's just another excuse to pay people.)

6. For every 1$ paid into the "pension fund", a pensioner might only get 0.5$ worth of pensions, because there is an overhead cost, to pay out bureaucrats and so on.



In short, it's a disaster, and it will collapse society with it. It's unpayable, and it distorts the economy heavily.

I suppose you understand my arguments, because not everyone in this forum is capable of understanding rational arguments.

99% of people here are just too emotional, or arguing from emotions, instead of looking at the cold hard facts.

Ah, I see.  You won't say what field the 'science' degree you brag about is in because Trump has not released his taxes.  Makes sense.  It's OK; the PC Army re-labeled 'garbage man' to 'sanitary engineer' to make them feel better about their station in life as well.  Feelings are important you know.

In some info I ran across, some academic made the comment that it is not at all 'the best and the brightest' who choose to pursue 'climate science' as a field of study for graduate work.  It looks to me an awful lot like the field appeals to those with relatively little interest in 'science' proper, but rather in it's utility for other goals.  IOW, scammers.

We know from the 'climategate' trove that U of East Anglia was effectively a group therapy session for so-called 'scientist' to come to terms with the reality that they were betraying 'science' in service of socialism and/or that sweet sweet foundation money.  It is natural for a lot of semi-scientists to find the experience soul-crushing so they benefited by having a support group.

Yep. I don't see any way Americans could make the cost of production cheaper than the Chinese.
Can't even imagine them working for the same wages that Chinese labor do. 

How could the locals compete with the cheap imports? Quality isn't enough. Bank on the buyer's patriotism? Also not enough.

Really, nobody's time is well spent trading ad hominem attacks.  Of course, I'm used to them in discussions with climate nuts, which of course is what these guys are.   And your point was well taken, that finally the US is headed in a businesslike direction with Trump.

Frankly these wackos that think they can control other peoples' lives need to get a life.

Ya, go 'study' at mommy and daddy's expense at age 18 for four years or so, then right back into Mom's basement.  For the aptitude which criptix displays for science and logic one can assume that he probably 'earned' a degree in the performing arts or some such.  Perhaps that experiance helped his mind transform his mom into a 'wife with a PhD' and thus justify his existance as a beta-male who lives off the kindness of his female better.

BTW Cripty, your allergies are probably attributable in large part to all the vaccines, but they can be helped by putting a dehumidifier in Mommy's basement.  The hydroscopic crystal varieties don't make much noise so they won't break your concentration when you are trying to spank it.

It's a complicated issue but it seems to me that a trade war between USA and China is not likely to be. Trump said that he wants to change big changes in trading consensus between two countries. Mass media deduced Trump's declarations as trade war. China exports are about one fifth to US market and on the other side China would let yuan to free float and US products will no longer be competitive. At the end both of them will lose more than they expected to gain.

Missed one:  'Criptix living in his mom's basement.'

Snipping my text then accusing me of straight up lying is even more weak than my 'lesbian' post which you correctly called out.  Weaker by a fair bit.

I'll bet that my comment about how many of you 'progressives' afford your iPhones by skimming tax dollars from people like me when they should go to help the poor burnt like hot needle because it is dead on and you know it.

Lots and lots of you swamp creatures are peeing yourselves at the realization that your gravy-train is coming to the end of the line with Trump.  That is why the supernova of futile and pathetic marches by the 'progressives' and 'feminists' and 'SJWs' and what-not.  The disadvantaged and people who can use a temporary hand up can breath a sign of relief that you leaches are just about to be ejected.

I give it about 90% that your PhD-holding 'wife' is an imaginary product of your wishful thinking but if not you are lucky to have a back-up source of support for your useless ass when you can no longer milk my tax dollars.  As long as that lasts at any rate.  One suspects that you are a basement dweller living with you mom who may in fact be the capable person you describe, and through a bit of mental gymnastics she became your wife.  My advice to keep current on those dishes still holds.

No, climate science is quite complex.  It's your 'global climate change' scam which is rudimentary and quite easy to understand.

Some years it works out that I take no 'income' at all.
