An industrial base generates a future yield too.
Neither does any other government subsidy. That's an odd argument against.
Borrowing huge sums of money to fund military expenditures sure seems silly,
TBH it's no worse than any other government jobs program, or the civil service in general. It's all just a vehicle to redistribute government funds as salaries.
I use Arch BTW full-time for work and personal for about 3 years now and haven't had any issues at all.
NYT stop sanewashing Trump challenge (impossible)
And this is why anybody who made a mistake in the past should be shunned forever, regardless of their current views and actions. They may as well just jump off a bridge and save us the trouble of setting up a firing squad.
Thanks for doing this - it isn't a proper leftist get-together without some assclown imposing impossible purity tests.
It is really hard. IME the tactic with the highest success rate is buying older luxury goods - something from the 70s or earlier. Obviously this doesn't work for clothing, but for things like furniture it's great, or even houses themselves; high-end homes built before the 90s are enormously higher quality than modern "luxury" houses made of OSB and gray-painted cardboard. Clothing is much more difficult, especially outside of Europe, where they still have companies making things with care using high-quality fabric.
I guess the crux of the issue is that luxury used to mean quality, not ostentation. A Mercedes from the 70s doesn't "seem" luxurious to the modern eye until you start interacting with the switchgear or opening and closing doors. Same thing for the sofa framed with real wood and metal springs and upholstered in outstanding fabric - you can't tell why it's better than IKEA by looking at a photo.
Possibly, but the average person is wrong about a lot of things, especially those they aren't familiar with. The average person is no more an authority on luxury than they are on, to reuse your example, the logistics of running a farm. It's probably also important to draw a distinction between parvenu countries like the USA and China, where "pop luxury" item are considered luxury, and old money countries like France or Switzerland where that's much less the case.
That's perfect, I'm stealing it!
I'm more partial to their early 90s lineup (E38/39/36) but yes, they used to be understated and elegant. Now they're loud and brash and gauche, the automotive equivalent of a purse with a repeating logo pattern.
Unbelievably damning results. I don't see how the CPC can continue to function as a party.

I don't think I've seen anyone else here with an 8:9 monitor, so I'll break the ice! The color theme is Layan Light; everything else is stock KDE.
That's fine, they can survive on the large domestic market thanks to protectionist tariffs, and Americans can enjoy their very own Trabant equivalents
