And again, the information came from the University of Zadar, not of Bradford.

Here’s a link to their facebook post where they told everyone about it.

You can absolutely criticize the sensationalism of them using the word city in the good.is article and I agree. But to say that it is a “total fabrication” when there’s roads, tools and signs of human habitation is a bit of a stretch.

I only posted this in news. Not sure why you commented twice and both were basically saying the same thing.

Directly from the article

“To their astonishment, it was a 4 to 5-meter-deep structure offering clues to a settlement almost identical to the one in Soline. They also dug out several Neolithic artifacts such as flint blades, stone axes, and fragments of wood on this site.”

I’m not personally saying that one building is a city but it’s a start.

They never mention the university at Bradford, but speak of the university of Zadar, so I’m not really sure why you linked that article that is related but not the same.

I remember the EPA inspections when I worked in pest control. They were basically a joke.

My current favorite search engine. Just pick one that’s running out of your country or close to it. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me.

I always find it interesting how they largely just seem to have switched dogmatic stances from some religion to atheism.

The real logical stance is “I do not know if this is true or not because it is unprovable”.

They look down on true believers while being true believers in atheism themselves.

Thank you for typing up the reply I hadn’t gotten to yet.

You the real MVP

The other person who responded to me made a very all written post but it gets a core assumption completely wrong.

They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen. That’s why they think GDP has anything to do with our ability to service debt. But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.

Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation. Spending and back stopping creation of money by private banks through the reserve system comes first. You can’t destroy something you haven’t created.

It’s sad, really. Economists and politicians have blinded everyone with what I think of as “the money delusion”.

It doesn’t matter if the money can be “gathered up” to be spent on things we need. We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.

The national “debt” is a misnomer. That’s the amount of dollars left in circulation that have not been destroyed through taxation, as well as the “dollars” that pay interest which we call bonds.

I’m glad to see at least a handful of other people who understand. Fight the good fight, fellow human.

This.

More people need to understand that the debt of a sovereign nation isn’t analogous to that of a household.

Public sector debt is private sector surplus.

As someone with decision paralysis and executive dysfunction issues, this is true for me. I’m probably more than capable of using it for a daily driver but there are 5000 flavors and I will likely never be able to make a solid choice until one is obviously vastly superior in some way I need.

This pizza I make is my favorite pizza. Just some bacon under the cheese.

Gotta love the old “it’s society at large’s fault” even though they knowingly have let the world burn for their profit as well as suppressed innovation and information that could have helped alleviate our issues.

Oh and literally bribe our government to write laws to make them unaccountable.

Fuck these people. They are monsters.

If they want to have more rights than real people, they should have more accountability and responsibility, not less.

I never said nor implied anything about any other system. I spoke about capitalism.

They haven’t overthrown shit.

This is what capitalism is and what it always leads to: siphoning all power to the top small % of people.

Look at the zero fucks I give about whatever “private assets” will be stolen by Russia.

Maybe don’t sink your money into that place when they’re clearly our rival and enemy.

How about we stop letting people and corporations gobble up all the existing housing for their endless speculative bubbles?
