Region: Libertatem
Except for how the people who came up with it have also referred to it as Obamacare.
And your political correctness annoys me.
I'd totally give a scholarship to people who play Nationstates.
If, y'know, they did everything else right.
That's the dream
Nah, brah. You're trying to sound cultured and intelligent through the use of wordplay and etymological semantics.
Hello, friends. I'm back, at least for now. I'll try to be a bit more active than before, although I won't be engaging in any real politics. Wish you all the best.

Snag a bag of popcorn and try not to gag on your snack, because Snabagag is back!
You crack me up, guys!
Snab.
How many people thought your name was Snagabag? Because I totally did up until you CTE'd.
Spelled extend wrong, bruh.
Just need a justice department factbook...
spelled "thanks for whipping out a factbook so fast as compared to some other departments who are still working on theirs, it is really appreciated and im glad to have you on board" bruh.
You left out "wrong" bruh.
Also my factbooks were done first out of anyone else in this Cabinet. Get on my level.
I just realized that now..
Snabagag doesnt sound as good. No offense.
I feel not happy now.
what does that even mean
It means Snagabag sounds cooler and rolls of the tongue.
a modern tragedy by all accounts. Perhaps a national day of mourning ought to be instituted
Snab is not English. I'm sure he doesn't care about that.
good point

If gid has been unvoted do we now have a four member board?
his eyes put fear in my soul
Special election. If you want to be on the Board, announce your candidacy.
dont everyone jump at once
*meth house down the street explodes, I come walking down the street slowly from said house unfazed*
*raises hand*
One down, anyone else?
:D
Shhhh
I guess I'll run. You know how much I hate an election without competition right Humpy;)
*mutters under breath*
Yay!
20 for soda pop, ugh, we must produce more Muh Cola.
My worst vice is my addiction to soda. Its kind of like meth, but even more delicious
Yea, i drink the stuff too. The caffeine and sugar sustain me, and coffee just isn't the same.
I'd run, but I'm already on the Board.
...Can I run anyway?
Yup. Soda is muh thing..
Mhmmmm....

As I accidentally delete my post....
Welcome back snabbers :p
I don't even use large vocab, nor do I use wordplay. Just because I mentioned a mistake doesn't mean that I am trying to sound "cultured and intelligent". I'm trying to fix your mistakes before they lead to more confusion that what's already been created.
the site looks so much cooler in the dark theme
and then he realized he couldnt use all the cool ns+ settings
It'll work if you delete "dark" from the URL.
I've used "Dark" since, well I can't remember when. A long timw.
Ill be moving regions to Atlas for roleplay on the II forum. A new nation: Cottonwind will be replaced as my new WA nation for Libertatem (if I need to fill out some paperwork, please direct me to such pages)
Is Private Sector really good?
Doesn't Private healthcare encourage sickness?
Doesn't PMC encourage Wars and defense?
Doesn't Private Prisons want crime?
Won't Private Energy groups only give to larger cities?
Yes.
Doesn't private food encourage food poisoning?
Doesn't private security encourage terrorism?
Don't private handguns encourage murder?
Private energy "groups" provide energy to all who are willing to pay for it.
*Points to contraption on the wall labeled "Door"*
By the way, guys, it's time for the September Board Elections anyway, so I'm not sure if there'll be a point to having a special election for GID's seat and then having another one after that...
Elections are in three days. This special can act as the normal. They just get five extra days in office.
1. No because they want you to buy food. But private medical want you to pay them which happens when your sick.
2. Yes. It helps their business.
3. Hand gun?
4. And if they can't afford it?
1. People use healthcare for more than just going when you're sick.
2. That's ridiculous. It harms their business because it discredits them as an effective provider of security. Not to mention, the security guards are usually the first to die in a terrorist attack, so if anything creating fake terrorist attacks that are then stopped by the security company would be the norm by your logic.
4. Then a more efficient company will come in to fill the gap. That is how it works, not just in principle but in reality.
Why are private corporations the big ol' bad guys here? Surely if any of this is true then the biggest for-profit enterprise of all, the government, has incentives to do all of these things and much, much more?
The market is based on choices and the will of the people. The state is a monopoly that only serves its owners.
1. Injuries, Check-ups, X-Rays. All the same. False diagnoses maybe.
2. Yeah. Create an enemy to get profit. Not a foriegn concept. Promote Terrorism secretly and get profit.
3.No handgun?
4. Maybe...
5. I'm not saying they are bad. I'm just pointing out possible flaws and they do. At least Democratic Governments do. It's called the election.
And if the owners get voted in then...
1. Too bad that doesn't happen. You don't become a big bad evil person as soon as you start earning money.
2. Again, that doesn't happen. But it's very much a thing within the government - the Department of Defense has been pumping up bullshit fears of Iran for years now just to stave off budget cuts.
3. I don't understand what you mean?
5. Again, it's a nice theory but it doesn't work in practice. Politicians work only to benefit themselves - this should be clear to anyone living under a Western "democracy", or any political system altogether.
1. Of course your not. But for Doctors don't you get more money if you Extort people's injuries and sicknesses or you make a minor issue into a big one and then have tests coming back negative.
Same with cancer Research anyone can do it that way. Less money if cured, more money if not.
2. This is true. These are just hypothetical possible ideas afterall not basing an ideological idea off it...yet.
3. You said Private Handgun...what does that mean
5. And in a democracy. What benifets them id benefiting the people so they are elected.
I'm gonna go Psychotic Dictatorship for fun.
What do you guys think about the Rockefeller family's decision to stop all investments in fossil fuels and concentrate on "clean energy" instead?
Personally, I think it's infuriatingly stupid. Oil is still black gold and will be for at least a few more decades. This decision of theirs exhibits great political correctness, but no sense of business. Then again, if the Rockefellers are as intelligent as they are said to be, this isn't a business decision at all but rather good PR.
Their business. Their decision.
Welcome back President Snabagag! Great to see you back.
Interesting. I agree that this is probably not a good short-term business move, but I'm glad to see that the market seems to be voluntarily moving towards renewable energy solution free of government compulsion. Hopefully, the increased investment will stimulate supply and work to drive the cost of clean energy down to the point at which the common man can afford it.
How many people here believe in Global Warming?
I don't think there's any doubt of its existence. But what I dispute is the notion that we can solve this problem by government coercion.
I doubt it.
Completely.
Does the testimony of 97% of the scientific community not seem compelling to you?
I'm not sure. I see about as much evidence against it as I do in its favor.
But it isn't a government issue.
Nope.
Don't trust it. Science has failed before.
And frankly I love that Russian Climate Change research ship that got stuck in a thick ice.
Post self-deleted by The Time Alliance.
Anyways. I'm switching accounts.
And bam
Sigh.. to run for the board again or not.. that is the question.
Run.
Maybe. I feel like my efforts were largely wasted. Between the inactivity and the turmoil amongst board members I was not happy.
I doubt it completely, too. The fact that 97% of the scientific community is a vivid display of what men will do with the promise of government loot. Also, as The Time Alliance said, science has failed before.
Scientists that do not deliver results in support of government coercion do not get research grants. This is fashion, not science.
Exactly.
And yeah. This is Time.
Good point. Rothbard showed just how corrupted the intelligentsia has become by the lure of stolen money. But I just can't find anything credible to disprove global warming other than distrust and suspicion.
Actual total warming has not been present for some time, and a lot of the disasters attributed to carbon emissions have been occurring long before the past century at roughly the same rate. My chief concern is the effect our emissions have on the ozone and the increases radiation levels it would beget. Warmth is not necessarily a bad thing, but gama rays certainly are (or the increase thereof).
I wonder if the libertarian solution to this, if there really is a problem. I would hypothesize that the courts could be sufficient to solve this problem, provided there was enough evidence to support the claim of property rights violations (cancer perhaps).
You know, I dislike some of Reagan's policies, but I do like that he did away with revenue sharing. New Federalism is a great concept to go back to, and I like that he was one of the first to get the ball rolling. Carter impeded his progress a bit, but H. W. Bush, W. Bush, and Clinton kept it going.
Keep cool with Coolidge.
there's my man
Mien, congrats, your people have the least welfare programs available.
I have succeeded in privatizing welfare!
Hooray!
