Its quite unusual to have so witty comments on this forum.

I believe a lot have been said here and it reveals how the so called economist at DB thinks.

On my side,I would just like to add a reference to F.Bastia

And its well known sophism:

I'm neither wealthy nor the media and I believe that wealth taxes are a bad idea, too.

Yep. The US may have been no saint, but the Japanese Empire was every bit as much of a "cartoon villain" as Nazi Germany.

Apologize for the comment out of context as it was mentionned above: The history is always written by the victors and regardless who was the good guy or not Why just take it all, and coldly analysis historical facts?

Henri Kissinger's book, World order, is a great example of this approach.

flashyfaffe2 commented on Inflation Isn’t just 2% for a Small Brewery   medium.com/@john.r.holler... · Posted by u/lgregg

Worth to mention that inflation is more sneaky than it seems. It has been partially mentioned with the degradation of the quality of stuffs or services bought. Another way to cause inflation is the increasing number of law bited and applied that owners need to comply with. Bein up to date with the legislation,etc is clearly time consuming. This always comes at yhe owner's cost and can't hardly pass to their clients ( unless you're Amazon or Apple). I would recommend to read Thomas Sowel's book and an artcile that blow my mind called "being poor is expensive". This shocked me as I realised how true were his statements.

Except we use statistic about the gender makeup of a field to determine if there is sexism. Which is flawed, but often feels rational.
flashyfaffe2 · 5 years ago
I can't find the article describing it but the gender bias tends to be disregarded when you add one additional parameter: place of birth.

In third world countries, women reprensent 50% of the students in engineering classes ( for reasons that are easily understandable).

Actually, the bias observed applyies in countries where freedom of choice is given to everyone.

As long as he pays off the fines unconditionally, without asking them who they'd vote for, then I don't see a problem here.
flashyfaffe2 · 5 years ago
Indeed not a problem per say. However it raises some ambiguities over its real intentions. Timing is too perfect for not pointing that out. But it cannot be blamed blame for working out the system here.

Being quite ignorant upon this topic, but witnessed sneaky behaviour in my company ( emails with with courtesy sentences systematically missing) I wad wondering to which degree this could explain why India is lagging behind China?

Any thoughts?
