Only 10% VAT tax.



Would that be Value Added VAT Tax?

Now, I fall into a camp of vaccinated but feel uneasy about how govs are going about the vaccinations, but lets not fool ourselves, comparing that to Nazism is a text book example of a slippery slope. If you're still confused, any comparison to Hitler/Nazis short of mass extermination of a certain group of people, is a slippery slope argument.

Hah, sorry, no. I grew up in Europe and the Nazis did a lot more than just kill Jews. But even if you ignore everything they did besides the camps, they were also going after political opponents, gypsies and homosexuals.

Now, personally, I'm not putting out those comparisons. I just think glib dismissal of those comparisons are just that and I'll call them out. That uneasiness you're feeling? That's valid and you need to listen to that voice.

Hopefully this will be the last I'll need to say on this since I think I've covered my points but, again, the easiest way to stop the nazi comparisons is to stop adopting their tactics.

...

"It's not precisely the same so it's completely different". And your "It's your fault for making us force you to take the vaccine" (implied by your 'you can always change your vaccine status' to avoid government persecution) is despicable from someone with your username. But that's not the first time.

Slippery Slope

Slippery slope is a fallacy in purely academic debate. Turns out it's actually manifestly observable in real life. It can be avoided, perhaps, but you have to take notice and turn things around. It's not a fallacy to call slippery slope when you're on a slope and slipping. A straw man, on the other hand, means you are failing to engage with your opponent's actual position which leads nowhere useful.

And people wonder how the Germans let it happen...

(Sorry Lightfoot, I was willing to let it drop but these are too egregious to let slide).

I've stopped on this one. No more Nazis in this thread.

Hey, bitcoin seems to be back. Wonder when it will pass 120k.

Works for me. Be nice to see a 6 at the beginning again.

Straw. Man. Try harder.

Nope. I'm just curious how people now are behaving like Nazis. I have met some real Nazis, both in the US atomic bomb programs and from the ex-Vichy regime.

They were quite unlike people who wish to vaccinate people these days, you might call them.... chilling, if you had met them.



We've had vaccinations for more than two centuries. The issue is not with the 'vaccine' itself. Indeed, many of those having issues with what is going on are vaccinated themselves. So yes, strawman as independently called out by someone else too.

I've stopped arguing with "Schwurbler", I think that is what vaccination opponents are called in your country, but this Nazi comparison still gets my goat. Unpackbar.

You should probably make peace with it because the Nazi-like tactics are only increasing so more parallels will be drawn.

It might be instructive to become familiar with how the Nazis rose to power and how they ran propaganda against the Jews. They didn't just get voted in then the next day invade Poland and throw Jews on the trains.



The comparisons to Nazis will stop when they stop acting in ways that are comparable to the Nazis. Deal?

You'll have to point out where the Nazis were vaccinating people with a vaccine that is 99% effective in keeping people from dying a rather sad and painful death.

Maybe the people rolling out the Polio vaccine in the 50's were Nazis perhaps? Curious.

Straw. Man. Try harder.

please stop comparing anti covid measures that are supposed to prevent the collapse of the health care system with nazi crap. this trivializes one of the worst crimes in our history and is just plain stupid.

About to call the bank to get a second mortgage on my ramen.



I am married to same woman for 35 years

Most skilled at peace keeping.
I've been told the great secret is saying: "yes, my dear".

That'll keep you miserable.

Shocked

Wish I had become a farmer rather than thinking any job with computers will be special. 

I wish I had been mentored with some business skills. Being good at something is one thing, being good at something for someone else's profit sucks.

Oh, he's asking about the WO cult of hats...

Wall Observers Should have hats? Do you guys have any regulatory organizations or something like that?

Create yourself an avatar and if you please the gods, a hat will be bestowed upon you.

Good news not moving the price much. Like CEO of Apple invested in Crypto or Elon Musk selling 20 BN of his stocks for Bitcoin. But one small unconfirmed FUD and we see a massive dump. This market is so shaky.

When the price moves, it tends to leave the order book a bit flat behind it. A well executed FUD dump like this can knock things back down pretty easily.
835  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 10, 2021, 10:02:02 PM

Are you sure? Some website's are saying they defaulted, but others are saying Evergrande made some slightly overdue payments that might buy it more time.

I'm not sure what's happening. Someone on twitter said it's like a Schrödinger's cat default.


Uncertainty may be worse than knowing for sure.

... Comptroller of Currency wants major industries to go bankrupt, that should be good for the dollar

Major industries comprised of the biggest investors in green technologies at that.

Evergrande FUD dump

Interesting timing. Just saying.

Outdated poll. How about this?

Would you support a protocol change which would allow "lost coins" to re-enter the ecosystem via mining after a certain period of time? If so, what period of time?

Also, ants are dumping. Ho-hum.

There is zero need for this.

I would support old UTXOs being paged to slower storage if that's the concern but that's another discussion. Dormant Bitcoin hurt nobody otherwise.

Is the time axis going right to left on this? That's going to get misunderstood a lot.
