Why has the Northeast recovered from deindustrialization better than the Midwest? New York, Philadelphia, and Boston have successfully shifted to a service based economy while Detroit, St Louis and Cleveland haven’t.
>>11092595Sort of ))Fed prints trillions, gives to their friends and relatives on Wall street.Wall street passes billions to SillyCon Valley, where they go into "startups". You know , unicorns ))Then you get a minimum wage or slave coder 80 hour a week "Job" (see, it trickled down) ,while management siphones millions and rides their boats into the sunset. )) "Service economy", that really, really funny , Hahahahaha )))
Chicago has successfully transitioned so it's really not a purely regional thing

>>11092703>curing the sick is bad for the economyCorrect. KEEPING SICK SICK ON PERMANENT DRUGS is great for the economy, when you add Healthcare sector to GDP.Various extremely expensive worthless procedures are great for the economy. Stuff like that.>efficient capital allocation is bad for the economyPassing printed money to your relative hedge funds is "efficient capital allocation"?

>>11092703>>the only people who eat new york 'zas are pest controlSo what kind of pills did your parents give you go control the crippling autism? And how disappointed are they that you think you don't need them?
>"On 17 July Alexios III finally took action and led 17 divisions from the St. Romanus Gate, vastly outnumbering the crusaders. His courage failed, however, and the Byzantine army returned to the city without a fight. His courtiers demanded action, and Alexios III promised to fight. Instead, that night ( 17/18 July), Alexios III hid in the palace, and finally, with one of his daughters, Eirene, and as much treasure (1,000 pounds of gold) as he could collect, got into a boat and escaped to Debeltos in Thrace, leaving his wife and his other daughters behind."
>>11092513The more I learn about this crusade, the more I understand why the latins snapped there, Barbarossa should've taken them out decades earlier for betraying christendom and allying with muddslimes.
>>11092513Lmao, the medcuck emperor leaved his wife and daughters behind to be FRANKED.
>>11092599The crusaders were constantly disgusted by the byzantine preference of diplomacy with Muslims instead of war.
I’m going to post this every day until you remember it
shit man i forgot
Sorry what's that?
Why were major cities in the western world much more affordable for people with working-class wages in the 1970's and 80's than later on? In the 1990's, it seems like many of those cities exploded in price and never came back down. Why?
>>11086150yeah it is far and away the main problem
>>11084656less populationhigher population makes everything cost more because of rising resource demands
>>11090372>High taxes should drive down the price of housing as lower savings means fewer people can afford housing.Doesn't matter as long as being a landlord and renting the property away is enough to cover the cost of taxes, rich people will just snowball and get richer.If you want to fix the system you need to make property tax a function of how much land you already own, this way there is a mathematical point were buying more land and renting it to somebody isn't profitable anymore and rich folks cant just accumulate land ad infinitum.And only citizens are eligable to purchase land, the system doesn't work if a hundred million chink investors drive up prices from outside the system.>>11091786Population in Germany has remained basically static in the last few decades, property prices exploded like everywhere else in the west regardless.The house my parents sold like 15 years ago for 220k is currently listed for sale again for over 500k. And no, average german wages havent suddenly doubled in the last 15 years and thats just inflation at work if you want to ask,
>>11084936Vancouver is the westernmost city in the world.
>>11084666fpbpCentral banking cartels that basically ruined the economy. Fewer opportunities.Higher taxes.Uncontrolled immigration.Globalization.
The word "slavery" has been used in many different ways throughout history. How do you feel about this?

It used to mean anyone who did work.
>b-but 1+1=2>1 is an artificial construct, according to modern science, the world is made up of unimaginably complex number of particles, which are not even solid things but a mixture of waves and possibility, there is no way to find a clear division anywhere in the world if you look deep enough, thinking in absolute terms is a purely human invention detached from reality>b-but technology!!!1!>rise of the middle class, industrial revolution, enlightenment, renaissance were all cultural movements, the progress was primarily set in motion by social development, not science>b-but you are catholic lol dumb fairytalesI am agnostic, i grew up among atheists, i was never even close to any religion>b-b-but SCIENCE IS THE BEST OKAY THE SCIENCE BLACK MAN SAID ITS AWESOME WE ARE STARDUST!!!1!!!!

>>11092560Humanities are my favorite subjects, you’re out of your mind if you don’t accept the superiority for problem solving of science
>>11092560See, this is what I'm talking about. This is indistinguishably from someone trying to troll and legitimately believing this.It's like counter-trolling for the people that agree with this kind of posts, to encourage them to say something supporting it and make a bigger mess.
>>11092625>>11092698You literally can’t make an argument except for muh fee-fees. Stemcels are only good for betabuxxing humanities chads through welfare gibsmedats
VGH..........
>>11091881I feel the same when it comes to the French, they look completely different before and during ww1 than they do today.
>>11092070Because its the foundation of Europe.For us Germans the Medieval age was were both our people, culture and nation were formed.Same with the rest of Europe, really. One is drawn to ones roots.Then also a general nostalgia for a distant past where things seem simpler or better.pic semi related

What is the worst piece of "historical" media you have seen? Pic related is one of the worst things I've ever watched.
Daily reminder only island nations are real nations. This is why Japan is honorary aryan and England conquered the planet whilst Italy can pass as an island and birthed the Roman empire. All other nations are disabled conjoined twins destined to be invaded and raped until the end of time
> the biggest island on the planet> somehow unimportantsure... sure...
>>11092694basedif every single nation on earth was a seperate island, warfare would be so fucking kino. Just imagine it, the naval technology of the human race is sped up X5 out of necessity and amphibious landings would be the norm
The French Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
>>11089078Face in the guillotine now, royalist cuck.
>>11090129the king dying was of relatively minor consequence in the long list of reasons why the French revolution is shit
The only problem was it didn't go far enough.
>>11089078well, I wouldn't say napoleon was a disaster

WTF happened to Lacus Curtius?https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/e/roman/home.html
the Unviersity of Chicago is "cancelling" authors that supposedly supported slavery, including those considered classics who have been gone for millenia, if they were not hypocrites they would remove muhammad, sun tzu, hammurabi, etcetera... however they deliberately target europeans and ignore all the others

I don't get, why do protestants worship only the bible specifically? It's not like it was handwritten by god, the authors were inspired by the holy spirit, but so were all the sacraments and traditions of roman catholic church, and they reject nearly all of them.
>>11092399Stop strawmanning Prods, dont step on their level.
The Catholic Church is unabashedly a power structure that cherry picks what is convenient in the Bible to make into doctrine and even had its own made up conception of Yahweh that is literally not the god of the Bible. If I were still a Christian, I would totally renounce Catholicism and follow the Bible word for word because it’s the word of god. Nothing else makes sense
>worship idols and images and even man (pope) your whole life>prots don't>"they must worship something other than God, I KNOW THE BIBLE!"idolater retards
>>11092536>If I were still a Christian, I would totally renounce Catholicism and follow the Bible word for word because it’s the word of god. Nothing else makes senseThat makes no sense. While it is not true the structure and claims to authority made by Catholicism clearly date back to the early church, as they have most of them in common with eastern churches like the Orthodox. So If your not a Christian to begin with I fail to see how you would conclude Protestantism is more "legitimate"
Why are they so irrelevant? I can't think of a single important person of Baltic descent despite their population being close to Scandinavia's.
>>11092584Lithuania used to be a major regional power you know
>>11092596I wouldn't really consider filling up a power vacuum left by the mongols something worthy of a great power status. The second the russians got their shit together and attacked us, we suddenly couldn't defend ourselves without poland's help
>>11078208Marija Gimbutas?
>>11090259>Ladislaus of Varna, Eater of TurksMore like eater of Turkish dick.His, and his mentally challenged relative Louis' incompetence gave Hungary to the Ottomans on a sliver plate.
>>11092618Poland-Lithuania could sort of be considered a great power though, atleast when it was at its strongest, and that wouldn't have been possible if it was only Poland.
Buckle up, random wave of historical shit incoming.
>>11092467Colorization of photos is a controversial topic. I kinda agree with those that dislike the practice, leaving them as is.
>>11092526My fav factoid ever is the fact that Thomas Sankara was in a band call Tout-a-Coup or whatever. He was eventually killed in a Coup which was led by the singer of the band.
