And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.
Here's a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.
You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a "total fabrication" when there's roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.
I remember the EPA inspections when I worked in pest control. They were basically a joke.
My current favorite search engine. Just pick one that's running out of your country or close to it. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.
Thank you for typing up the reply I hadn't gotten to yet.
You the real MVP
The other person who responded to me made a very all written post but it gets a core assumption completely wrong.
They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen. That's why they think GDP has anything to do with our ability to service debt. But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.
Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation. Spending and back stopping creation of money by private banks through the reserve system comes first. You can't destroy something you haven't created.
It's sad, really. Economists and politicians have blinded everyone with what I think of as "the money delusion".
It doesn't matter if the money can be "gathered up" to be spent on things we need. We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.
The national "debt" is a misnomer. That's the amount of dollars left in circulation that have not been destroyed through taxation, as well as the "dollars" that pay interest which we call bonds.
I'm glad to see at least a handful of other people who understand. Fight the good fight, fellow human.
This.
More people need to understand that the debt of a sovereign nation isn't analogous to that of a household.
Public sector debt is private sector surplus.
I've become the same. I'm now that person seeking out more obscure and underrated gems from anywhere in the 30s through the 90s. I hate the thought of all this cultural collateral damage disappearing forever.
