World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The fact is the countries budget, economy, the investment, it's view from the rest of the world is in a complete and utter shambles. It's in a state that most countries won't see ever. That requires drastic action.
This is not the option between doing nothing and doing something.
Something has to be done and something has been done. You're being critical of change that was required.
Personally I hope the lives of Argentina's improve. I wouldn't want to wish that misery just so I could say an expert on the matter is wrong.
It's not a fallacy at all. It just shows you know nothing about the subject. You come across as man screaming at the scientist because there is no way they could have gone to the moon because you don't understand it. You don't know how to go to the moon but you "know" it's wrong. You got the feelings and that's all that matters.
I'm sorry you dislike a guy so much. But I bet you got a million and one reasons why communism is great and all its failings can be explained with endless excuses.
So I checked out Google scholar and to be honest for the alleged 20 years of being a researcher his contribution to the academic community seems marginal at best. Holding him up to the usual performance metrics, most postdocs in my lab had more citations and I also don’t see articles in big journal. Leaving aside the fact that your whole argument is subject to a logical fallacy your appeal to authority doesn’t seem to appeal to a good authority. He may have been working in the industry and he may have been involved in policy making, but that doesn’t mean he’s any authority when it comes to economics as a scientific discipline.
I'm not really inclined to listen to someone that has no idea what they are on about verse a literal ex professor. If someone who has any idea what they are on about starts making logical arguments rather than "I don't like him" then I might listen. But you, do you. Have fun.
Ironic you said this after being provided a list of logical reasons from someone also in academia.
FYI, it's pointless to lie directly in response to the thing you're saying you'd accept.
If a country is running a deficit and everyone agree that needs to be fixed. Saying you don't agree that your taxes have gone up and benefits have gone down without providing any alternative is meaningless. It's just whinging.
Tell me you’re not a scientist without telling me you’re not a scientist.
