Could this be the illusion of undersea city once humans claimed that there they lived ? <| sep |> I ' m just trying to figure out how it costs them that much to call a recount . <| sep |> Didn ' t want to come off as offensive <| sep |> Got you fam <| sep |> I ' m from England . Far as I ' ve heard they ' ve gotten a little stricter , I have a work friend also learning to drive and he ' s just failed his 4 th test which is not helping my confidence <| sep |> Well shit I just got some free stuff . <| sep |> He pretty much lost any chance of me taking him seriously as soon as he said that . <| sep |> The important question to ask is if Scotland will have a regular shaped classic Toblerone or will it use the UK backed spike strip style ? <| sep |> It seems that it is you who have missed the point because you failed to respond to the central argument I made . You sayEconomic policy is decided by feelings , not facts . It cannot be decided by the latter until there is blind faith in the system independent of its performance . I did not disagree with this . I saidLet us have a debate about what engenders faith in macroinstitutions then . I put it to you that widely distributed economic growth engenders trust in the system . Rising income levels confer legitimacy on the system so to speak . You saidThere ' s lower crime rates , longer lives , higher real compensation . True . Bernanke ' s Jones Klenow postbernanke 20161019 a r e a m e r i c a n s b e t t e r o f f t h antheywereadecadeortwoago bears this out . So does the infamous Minneapolis Fed article . Now , you might say AHA ! SEE ! PERFORMANCE OF THE SYSTEM DOESN ' T MATTER ! Let me posit the following Crime rates don ' t matter because people feel unsafe mass shootings , etc . Life expectancy doesn ' t matter because people don ' t feel it . Higher real compensation doesn ' t matter since people don ' t see an increase in their paychecks the employers just have to pay additional healthcare costs which raises compensation but doesn ' t increase the amount of $$ going into workers ' pockets . In short , indirect benefits such as better healthcare one could debate whether the increase in cost has been worth it do not matter . Only one thing matters More $$ in people ' s pockets and a semblance of equality of opportunity . The last part has to be tackled with exactly what I saiddebate should be focused on expanding mobility geographic and economic and structural reforms that increase efficiency . As an aside , you know what might engender greater faith in the system ? Public humiliations of banksters that you seem to be against . I mean , if performance truly doesn ' t matter , then highly public actions will help right ? A few public hangings perhaps eh Draco ? Let ' s go beyond Warren ! Really engender that faith in macroinstitutions . Then , perhaps we can get back to fact based policy making .
