Whether it's funded through taxes or funds is relevant to the amount of productive capacity required to support the individuals. With a constant source of captive purchasers, you may just be creating a distortionary inflation pressure on certain financial assets.

Generally families need monetary distributions more at birth than later in life. Societies generally benefit more from early childhood development than additional tertiary schooling. Fundamentally the issue is where to allocate production and services.

The "China Shock," as much as it exists, is a tech shock from two directions. 1) containerization, shipping improvements, and digital rollouts all enabled trans-oceanic production and trade. 2) China itself is becoming a driving force of innovation and new tech.

You absolutely can dramtically supply if the will was there. Whether the trade offs are worth it is a different question.

I don't know that American liberals are actually anti-imperialist. I certainly have not seen many if any, liberal institutions, media, or intellectuals actually express any concrete anti imperialism. If anything they thread the needle by denying the empire's existence in the first place.

I don't think that's true outside of the most basic dynamics of ingroups. Maybe within certain pockets of Catholicism in immigrant groups of Anglo countries.

Yeah, I just wanted to point out why there may be valid reasons for the different reactions to AI depending on the field. Artists have historically always been in precarious economic positions, but I think these technologies are hitting them the hardest.

1) much of code is open source by design 2) employment in tech is generally more a traditional employment model as opposed to being on contract 3) there are still patents that protect the same tech companies that are abusing copyright.

I mean IP is kind of inherently incoherent through the lens of some type of deontological framework. Maybe there is something in the literature that formalizes it, but I haven't seen anything convincing. The fundamental differences between coding and art is that:

I agree in principle; however, there is a question of whether it's worth keeping certain party discipline in place before power is gained. What kind of identity and power structure the party maintains is important for long term organization.

Well unfortunately, one of the only mechanisms of discipline is to pull all support for candidates and politicians that break with the party. However, this is too controversial of a step for the broader left electoral base and even for much of the party itself.

I never said they officially did. I said that Jim Messina, who ran a Super Pac did for her, and it was picked up early by right wing media.

So while she did not say it was "her turn" herself, it was a slogan that people around her campaign were playing with. It was also something that critics picked up on, with the Free Beacon picking it up back in 2015 freebeacon.com/politics/fmr....

I mean Canada has jus soli, and even many European countries have restricted jus soli provisions, for children who reach a certain age or children of legal residents. Also, Colombia expanded citizenship to children of Venezuelan migrants.

However, couldn't Milanović argue that that it's still valid since it was Western neoliberalisation that spurred the capital outflows? Also, since one could say that Chinese capital controls loosened through the Deng period, was that not a process of "liberalization" even though not complete?

I have yet to read either of the books, but I wanted to say it was a incredibly well written piece. My one question was about your objection that neoliberalism spurred globalization. Your counter is that the greatest engine of globalization in China was patently not a neoliberal order.

You're shifting the burden of proof onto me to create a convincing enough hypothetical? I am also not even interested in defending Code Pink, so I don't find that very productive. I will say that the NYT found that Roy Singham was responsible for 25% of its funding, but made no mention of Russia.

I do not believe that, and it also does not answer my question. If anything, it's funded by the Central Propaganda Department of China. I think their opposition to funding Ukraine's resistance is stupid, but they have been consistent in their activism since their founding for the first Iraq war.

By that metric should we exclude working with most of the democratic party considering their complicity? I fail to see on what objective metrics Code Pink is more morally compromised than the vast majority of liberal politicians.
