@All TsIt seems like you're just going on a tangent about the U.S. economy in general. Would you by chance, make your points more specific? Example. Allocation I agree with, but what specificaly in spending? Non Sequitur. Non sequitur, but, I believe this correlates with our inflation rate to a degree; our government did have to print a set amount money to bail out these corporations. Baseless and subjective. Give an example for this to have any grounds. I predict we're going to have a recession, not anything this extreme, however. Also, yes, the Federal Reserve has to keep up with inflation. If they do not, we are in deep worries. I do not know what you mean? This has validity: the Federal Reserve has been under quite the impression that it has to raise intrest rates to great highs by the people. It has been criticized for not doing so. As stated before. Completly agree with you. Although, I'm unclear if the goal of this economic practice was to keep Capitalism in check, or just to avoid recessions. The general population fixates on the taxing side of Fiscal Policy, not the government spending part. Thus, making it so the quota can go either which way. What I mean by this is that you can either increase taxes, or decrease them. You shouldn't necessitate that an increase in Fiscal Policy will accrue more income in the hands of the wealthy. Correct me if I misunderstood any technicalities. By the way, the wealthy aren't the only people who strive in the basis of greedienss. We are all greedy, that is a prerequisite for Capitilism. I favor our mixed economy system, however. Not fully Capitalist nor Socialist.

As we all know, inflation is close to 10% in America. One of the contributing factors of this was that we printed an exponential amount of money in the form of stimulus checks. Before we dicuss that topic however, some understanding needs to be articulated. What is Keynesian Economics? Keynesian Economics is a government intervention practice that came about during The Great Depression where Classical Economics was not effective. Kaynes - the thinker of this economic practice - stated that there needs to be an increase in government intervention in the economy. One way he portrayed this idea was an increase in Fiscal and Monetary Policy. Fiscal Policy is a flucuation in taxes(either which way), and/or government expenditure(spending money on infanstrucute projects as an example). Monetary Policy mainly practices a change in intrest rates. There are also two other parts of Monetary Policy that are not needed for an understanding in this scenario. Overall, the practice was to stimulate the economy and avoid/get out of a recesion. In other words: more government intervention. For anybody trying to critique this, I was articulating the basics of this economic practice for people who didn't understand. This was reductive purposely, not by mistake. What policy mainly did the U.S. Government put into practice? This would be an increase in Fiscal Policy. By the U.S. Government spending money on its citizens to have an increase in demand of goods and necessities, it was able to "avoid" a recession for the time being. Due to Covid, unemployment was natrually higher than usual, which caused an inability for people to purchase basic goods and neccessities, as stated above. The Federal Government's initative was to keep the increase of demand so money kept flucuating via the economy. This has worked for the time being. This leads us to the big question: Did Keynesian Economics backfire? Right now, the economy is too rampid. Which is why the Federal Reserve is increasing intrest rates, to deter people away from spending and buying. This has not seemed to be effective, however. Before anybody starts commenting on this, I have some graphs and statistics. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1107572/covid-19-value-g20-stimulus-packages-share-gdp/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/statista/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/06/15/in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world-inflation-is-high-and-getting-higher/ft_22-06-08_globalinflation_1/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/pew-research/ Compare these two graphs/statistics, you'll see some of the countries that did/did not provide stimulus packeges have more/less inflation. This leads us to another question, then. Is inflation at the fault of Keynesian Economics? To leave you off, here's an opinion from Paul Krugman: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/opinion/inflation-markets-recession-prices.html?searchResultPosition=2.

I know you're joking, but you never want to bring in your personal life experince when we're talking about statistics and averages.

First, the knowledge that you gained means nothing if you can't back it up. Second, a debate is just a formal discussion about a particular topic with an opposing side, which you engaged in with me. By definition, it's the exception.

BoM, if you're making these claims, I expect you to back them up with actual data from trusted sources. Disregarding that you don't have any evidence for these claims about mental/physical stability, this seems to be the exception. https://www.bcbs.com/the-health-of-america/reports/trends-in-pregnancy-and-childbirth-complications-in-the-us#:~:text=About seven out of every,nearly 31% increase since 2014. In this study, conducted by Blue Cross Blue Shield, it shows that per 1000 pregnancies, these rates of complications and mental conditions stay relativley low compared to the overall amount of pregnancies. This study also covers that these individuals may have preexisting mental conditions as well, that were not prevelant before hand. (You can see that they also state an increase, but they don't speculate why in the article, so take that as you may.) The overall point I'm getting at here, is that you are trying to use the exception to justify the majority. If one person dies from a car crash out of every 1000 people, should we make it illegal or heavily restrict the ability of the average individual to drive? No, absolutely not. If the complications from a pregnancy stay increasingly lower than how many are actually taking place, just because there is a chance for the mother to have these complications, should they have the option to kill a human, just because there is a chance of it? No, this is illogical and an incoherent argument. Also, I didn't even mention the medication and the medical treatements women have acess to while they're pregnant.

If the mother is not in the ideal circumstances for having a child, hand it to a family that is in a better situation. https://www.americanadoptions.com/pregnant/waiting_adoptive_families#:~:text=While it is difficult to,who is placed for adoption. The quality of living in a current household does not have to jepardize the right to life. P.S. Didn't see your response to Gentoo's message, apologies for not replying.

If that is the case, we would have to dive into specifics. Standard of living, life during pregnancy, after pregnancy, etc.

I was referring to the "whole life a woman" part. Thus, I gave you a citing of pregnancy mortality rates among mothers, comparative to the overall pregnancies.

Apologies that this does not fit your narrative. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/maternal-mortality/2020/maternal-mortality-rates-2020.htm#:~:text=In 2020%2C 861 women were,20.1 in 2019 (Table).

I'll live in a state that respects the right's of the human race, contrary to one particular group.

It's as simple as not clicking a link, and using your prefrontal cortex

Ok, I'll give a Black female this role in the Supreme Court, they might not be able to do their job on either side of the political party's, but a vote is a vote, and diversity matters, right... right? You have a point on the perspectives part, but with diversity, in the end it would still be a Democratic standpoint or a Republican standpoint regardless of what race and gender those people are. Your values are usually Democratic or Republican regardless of race and gender, there are some black people that are republican and some black people that are democrats. I really don't think race and gender matters over what you believe in(your perspective point). Just because it's a Black woman, doesn't mean she's been through what every other Black person has been through. Proving the point that race and gender is really just irrelevant.

I fully agree with you, but does Biden really have to say that? He's making it sound like that's the only type of person he's looking for.

It doesn't matter who it is, I want the person with the right qualifications regardless of age, race or gender. As long as they can do their job right(according to your views in politics that is), I'll be fine with whoever is chosen.

Justice Stephen Breyer "announced" his leaving from the Supreme Court at the end of the current term. His leaving was announced for him apparently from a leak, which caught him off guard, but neither Breyer nor the Supreme Court has officially announced anything yet, regarding his leave. Now, the question is, who is going to replace him if he does indeed leave the Supreme Court? Well, Biden said it himself during his campaign in 2020. You can see from this clip that he stated it would be a Black Woman(with the right qualifications). The problem with what he said was that it would be a Black Woman. Why should it matter if the person is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic and male or female? It should be a person with the right qualifications(like Biden stated in the clip), but the race and/or gender of the person should be irrelevant. This clearly violates Federal Civil Rights Law, you can't say anywhere else that "I want a white male for x seat", that's what makes this so disturbing. I wanted to get everyone's thought's on what Biden said, especially considering the current situation. Does it really matter what race and gender someone is, or are the qualifications more important in today's society?

Before I answer you, what do you think Spyware is?

On certain websites you can just buy prime accounts that aren't banned for very cheap, this is not a solution. Not sure if CSGO community servers can do this, but would it be possible to install a file on our PC's that would keep track of our HWID(Hardware ID) like our PC components and serial numbers?

Well deserved promotions. Congrats!

One of the mistakes Mace did not banning you, unfortunate.

Well its pretty obvious what it is that makes everyone think about you in a negative way but you don't seem acknowledge it most of the time it just seems like you take it as someone shit talking. I don't really blame you either some of these responses are really bad in all honesty, seems like they just think you're an annoying kid which gives you no idea on what to improve on. Just lay back don't be on top of everything, you can't do that people wont like you. Just lay back take a slow approach to things. Did someone freekill you? Say something in admin chat and if they don't respond that's on them you can always make a player complaint if you get enough evidence like what you've been doing so far. Also if someone says something about you in game don't lean into it like I did when I first joined the community(Thx kabLe) just accept the fact that some people don't and wont like you that's how the world works. So in the bigger picture it is maturity but just saying that wont help that's why I explained some of the things to you.

Hopefully the point of this thread is for self growth purposes and not you being insecure, depending on that it shows a lot about you already as a person. Mace gave some good input in his second paragraph about you. You're generally an optimistic person a little strict at times and can come off as an asshole even though that's not true, if the person knows you it shouldn't seem like that. You've built a lot of friendships in this community and it seems that people like you judging off the responses in this thread so far which is a plus. On SG servers your perceiving skills seem to be fine which a lot of new admins lack. Tying into the last two sentences you're fine to play with no problems there. One thing you could improve on is letting your emotions get to you. I cant speak for what's going on in your life so if its related to that I apologize. Overall you should contemplate the situation first before using your admin abilities from emotions purely and not taking into account what happened. I'm referencing this to your first 'strike' or 'infraction' about engaging in the toxic environment but punishing others for it. I could say one other thing but that's not related to your admin abilities or SG in general just you as person. This feedback is to help you and I hope you take it that way. Feel free to correct me on anything and pm me if you wanna talk about anything I said.

To avoid this issue you could add on to the Spam rule including markers for CTs and not just skins and voice chat. Admins would just have to enforce the rule. Again you can avoid this issue by adding another rule: "If a CT wants to place a marker down to guide the Ts somewhere it must be the CT SAYING the 'go to X' order" For example, CT A : "All Ts go to where my marker is" (Broad order but just for an example). CT B cannot place the marker CT A has to do it since he/she said the order. Another thing admins would have to enforce obviously, which can create a lot of complicated situations where they would have to comprehend the situation first and use their brain but I would say its worth it for less confusion among the CTs and Ts.
