I agree its stupid. But its even more stupit to try and ban it.

This has already happened with things like Tsunami in Catalonia. A totally decentralised movement that the police is still trying to understand 6y later and trying to find a nonexistant leadership. Incredible fun to watch them trying to understand how it worked

It will surely be more attempts, but this is huge and means you'll always have the hability to have an encrypted service like signal which was the big danger here

For me is the lack of recommendations and the usability to discover new communities organically as in reddit.

But they are pretty clear about that. Also, how is that worse than Google or bing? It's not a dream sure, but its a lot better than your money going to Google

Considering the war in ukr rn exists bc nobody helped ukr the first time, I think we should give the right message to Putin so that it doesn't start another war

Sure, bc its the easiest path. But some gas for peak hours is totally fine. The problem is in countries like the US or Germany where over 50% of the electricity comes from fossil fuels. At least that should be the goal on the short term

Sounds like an idea in a film that doesnt end very well

Ok, you cant print it indefenetly (saying the opposite is just ignorant). Also, it can be better for neocolonialism and for the country, its not mutually exclusive.

And, can I as you how do you expect a country to buy oil, chips, planes, etc? A genuine question. If you dont export anything how do you convince other countries to guive you stuff?

When I say globally competitive I mean having something that other countries pay you to make, thats it. And why? So that you can then pay them to guive you stuff.

Changing the language doesn't change the output. You can call it whatever you want. But its a fact that a modern economy needs to participate in the global markets. Ite either that or self reliance (which means no oil, no smartphones, no imports generally). I am supposing that you dont want the second one.

From this the only conclusion is that a country needs to produce something and be competitive, and the easiest way to do that is with investment.

All those things are facts. Now, are there alternatives? Obviously, for example, France's economy is in big part goverment run with success. But for that you need to maintain a competent government which in Argentinas I think we can agree that it is not the case.

So, you either establish a more or less free market with a bit of stability, or you have a competent gov. The IMF thinks the first is easier, and so it recomends it.

With that said, obviously some government intervention is needed and social policies are usually good, but to maintain those you need money, and sadly, you cant just print it (Again, Argentina is a great example for that).

Bc it isnt that. It usually is: stop giving money to people if you're in debt, and keep your word to guive stability to you economy to attract investors. Obviously sometimes they give bad advice but its usually a good idea to listen to the IMF
