#TLDW: Ein #Staat will #Steuereinnahmen maximieren und das geht halt langfristig nur dadurch indem das #BIP pro Kopf erhöht wird, und deshalb wird in #Infrastruktur wie #Bildung investiert!
Does #cgpgrey count as poetry?
@T_X @Laburrini Und ist das im Panel darüber eine #CGPGrey-#BonnieBee vor einer «Haxagons are Bestagons»-Wand-Deko?

Even a soft technically correct decree,
Will make pennies (mostly) cease to be.
Saving billions now lost,
on copper's high cost.
Thus, whichever path lies ahead,
Ding dong, the penny is truly dead. (cgp)
Is The Penny *Finally* Dead?
A nice video about the Penny that actually isn't about the Penny at all...

The Hidden Journey inside ZIP Codes
#CGPGrey last video. Apparently in Ireland they encode the coordinates in the zip code
@WhiteCatTamer @generalhavok @QasimRashid since born citizens can't be forcibly made stateless or deported in almost all other countries in the world, I'd consider deportation to be a racist form of penalty.
There's this nice #CGPgrey video that explains it:
I.e. #Germany does extremely-low tuition fees for higher education and universal healthcare not solely "because it's a good thing" or "because health is a human right" but because healthy double-earning academics with children generate way more taxable income, pay way more social security and also spend more money = pay more consumption taxes than illiterates who can barely survive and won't be able to afford good education for their children (which produce negligible tax revenue)...
You may be tempted today to make a #NewYear #Resolution, then fail and be your same miserable self next year. May I suggest instead you pick a #SeasonalTheme? It's worked for me.
This season is "routine", because I'm finally learning those are useful to control my anxiety and stay on top of life. Pick a theme, then when it's time to make a choice, go with the theme. Be as broad as you like with your interpretation; it's useful if it simply brings intention and optimism to your choices.
