You can increase demand by cutting taxes or interest rates. But if supply can't be ramped up, you're just going to create inflation along with the unemployment.
And yes, the UBI amount is too low to be meaningful.
Socialism is based on the idea that we'll trust the state on everything and it will magically work out.
"Everything" is a big word.
Hard capitalism fails because it fails to recognise that most markets can't be free markets. Hard socialism fails because it prints money and moves towards authoritarianism.
If you want a country without a huge chunk of people dying from poverty, socialism is inevitable.
We can't replace most markets. Maybe one day when an AI can figure out how to connect the economy, but not today.
There doesn't seem to be a sweet spot. There's a large range between centre-right Britain and left-wing France that works.
It is pretty clear that there is a democratic deficit in the EU.
From the article: "Opinions differ as to whether the EU has a democratic deficit"
Personally I think it depends on the definition of democratic deficit. The EU is not as democratic as say Germany, but then it only has about 1% of the legislative power. Electing the Commission would be mindblowingly stupid. The Commission are experts, typically ex-presidents and ex-ministers. They write much of the law because it has to be translated into 20 different languages by experts in legal translation.
As I posted above:
The Commission, whilst more powerful than a civil service, cannot set or pass any laws. At all.
The Commission are chosen collectively by three groups: the President, the elected heads of state and the elected MEPs. The President is elected by the elected MEPs.
The French and Dutch rejected the European constitution in referendums in 2005. The EU renamed the "Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe" to the "Treaty of Lisbon" and changed the wording a bit to bypass the need for a referendum in France and the Netherlands, thus robbing those people of their legal right to a referendum.
Wrong. Irelend rejected it and changed their mind after the right to abortion was excluded.
The most powerful branch of the EU is the European Commission which has the power to set laws. Members of the European Commission are not elected by the public. The second most powerful branch of the EU is the European Court of Justice, where the judges are also unelected.
Again, none of this is true.

The ECJ is almost irrelevant. I doubt you can point to a single significant decision by them.
I had to undo all the conditioned anxiety of this school presentation torture. But after that, it just became a great way to influence people to my PoV.
It's weird how everyone says all kids have to suffer in the same way they did. It's like a rape victim everyone has to be raped.
Most of it is about avoiding emotions. Some people have far worse emotions in this domain and this is what causes their problems. Sometimes those emotions are easily resolved by a decent therapist and sometimes not.
A lot of clever people procrastinate because they were very good at it in school. They could do it all at the last minute and still get a decent mark. But there are several reasons that habit comes unstuck later in life: 1. Challenges are often harder. 2. Teams get irate. 3. There are more distractions in life eg smartphones. 4. Sometimes there are no deadlines.
Some people are afraid of success. Others doubt success means anything a la existentialism.
Sometimes it's about how our minds (de-) motivate us eg obsessing about the discomfort instead of the rewards.
Particularly when someone has all these problems, or when someone tries to start their own business, lack of motivation can be a serious disability.
I'm writing a book on this. If you have any questions or comments, I'll be happy to answer/read them.

... currently being tested on humans.
Not sure if that's still the case.
There's also the question: who do you trust more: your ISP and Govt, or Opera?
I use the VPN to get around region lock and to visit sites my Govt might hold against me in future. Obviously, I use TOR for real security.
France and Germany have less than a quarter of the voting power.
Try again.
Sailfish.
It is where it's quoting reliable sources.
Link to a single mistake they ever made in their thousands of documents.
Or admit being brainwashed.
Targeted benefits are almost always better.
Or a properly-funded universal healthcare system.
Or making sure the ice shelves stopping Antarctica sliding into the sea remain intact.
The self isn't real either.
Furthermore, how do you prove you're not a brain in a jar, or even a routine in a simulation?
The fact they let Leave lie about £350m was proof of that.
Yeah because âoegoing privateâ for treatment isn't a thing...
And guess what. Even our private treatment is much cheaper than yours.
You literally have the worst health system in the world.
Better read your Constitution again. No-one is entitled to a platform.

The Tories reversed the law on new homes needing to be zero carbon three years ago.

As someone who barely has a clue about QM, I loved your reply.
Another question for you:
The experiment seems to prove the photon definitely goes through both paths. Doesn't that prove Copenhagen decoherence?
And if so, does it not turn multiverse theory from Occam's favourite to Occam-says-no?

they were told to keep voting on the referendum until they came up with the right answer.
You really think that was what they were told?

Literally nothing you said is true.
Shocked I tell you.

Good to know.
Thanks for the perspective. I'll include it in my book somehow. Still in planning stage, won't be out for years.

We can be imprisoned for forgetting a password. Any password.
Blair's Govt wrote terrible laws, including two which can abolish elections without debate.
