I mean, in a hypothetical libertarian society, do you think that the casino should be liable for damages here?

I don't know precisely what they are being accused of or enough details to determine whether they're guilty of it or not.

But in a hypothetical libertarian society, they wouldn't just be able to immediately escape blame by saying "but we did what the government said we had to do!"

It's more along the lines of "these two are some of your top workers, maybe save this match for down the line with more at stake instead of a throwaway Smackdown and give them a solid 20+ minutes to work with on PPV."

The last time they tried that, all we got out of it were three months of dick-punching.

An interesting take from an SSC commenter on Trump's theory that he could shoot someone in broad daylight and not lose supporters

Having a bunch of innocent people killed for various reasons is an inherent part of carrying out the day to day duties of being president of the United States.That Trump has the moral courage to look at least one of them in the eye as he personally pulls the trigger is a ringing endorsement! Do you really want some liberal or cuckservative who just picks up the phone and erases people by the villagefull but doesnt have the balls to be within a thousand miles?

This is the exact sort of thing libertarians have always been saying about regulations. They exist to make it so that it's harder for people to actually collect damages from big companies. So long as the company can prove that it did everything the government told it to do, they won't be held legally liable, even when their behavior clearly damages individuals.

It's pretty cool though how they can solve the original problem and much more just by banning a symptom (political propaganda). Often there's this idea that you need to go to the source to truly eliminate a problem, but that might not be the best way in some cases.

The rumor on libertarian facebook is that Fox is going to bring back Freedom Watch with the judge!

I find this almost completely unbelivable, but several people claim to have heard it from the judge himself... I guess time will tell

Remember, Fox literally aired this thing for a couple years before actually watching it and realizing it was completely and totally anti-government in every way.

These people are already selected for by the realities of migration. You don't have to do much to get them.

You have to stop actively kicking them out, for one. The U.S. tells tens of thousands of such immigrants every year, who are already here, that they have to leave.

Also: English-speaking immigrants in Germany?

1. You know what I meant
2. But given the realities of the global economy, actually, yes.

SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy

The labor is an investment, the spending is immediate

The article shows that over a three year span, 90% of migrants are not working.

How long do you project it will take to get that number above 50%? How many years of welfare do you have to pay them before they start working? At what point will they pay back all of that previous "investment" and start to become net tax contributors? How would that work in a country like the US where half the population is already a net tax recipient and not a contributor?

The math on this isn't even close to working. You can call it an "investment" all you want, but the fact of the matter is, these people cost a lot more money than they generate. It's like "investing" in a boat under the logic that "well boats can be used for fishing and those generate positive returns so surely my luxury yacht is also a great investment." No, the vast majority of boats are money pits. If you want a boat that generates a positive return, you have to very carefully select a fishing boat.

If you want immigrants to make your economy stronger, you have to very carefully select for young, single, high-skilled, likely-to-assimilate, English-speaking immigrants.

How do you know they won't beb net taxpayers?

Keynesianism requires an endless stream of labor and spending to sustain itself.

If you want a stream of labor, then importing groups of people where the ratio of workers to welfare recipients is 1:9 seems like a very bad idea.

This is why Germans, and everyone else, are rebelling at this nonsense. They were told "We will admit these people and they will come in and work hard and pay for your welfare!" But the reality is that these people come in and don't work and compete for welfare resources.

Importing people who pay a lot of taxes to subsidize welfare for native citizens would be a great idea. The problem is those people are all Indian/Chinese MBAs/IT people. It turns out that unassimilated hordes of unskilled Mexicans/Arabs/Africans don't actually pay that much in taxes. Who would have guessed?

http://reason.com/blog/2018/07/15/germany-just-agreed-to-essentially-close

Reason's analysis here is hilarious.

On the one hand, they claim Germany "needs" refugees and asylum seekers because:

Without a lot of new workers, the aging population and its shrinking taxpayer base will lay ruin to the country's generous welfare system.

On the other hand, they openly acknowledge that 90% of these people receive massive government assistance and don't work:

Instead, hundreds of thousands of people would sit in camps, in limbo, living on taxpayer money, indefinitely. A report from the Institute for Employment Research found that just 10 percent of the working-age refugees who arrived in 2015 were employed by 2017.

Hey idiots, immigrants won't help you pay for your domestic welfare programs unless they are net taxpayers, not welfare recipients. But no, I'm sure racism is the only reason Germans are waking up to this and opposing more of it. Just keep telling them that letting in more welfare-collecting non-working people will make everyone richer!

I think part of the problem is that too much responsibility is assigned to the one referee in charge.

Maybe you have two refs, one in charge of managing the game and maintaining the pace of play, and the other in charge of player communication and discipline or something. Because often, these things happen because the ref is busy arguing with the players (something that should be punished much more severely in general, this type of bullshit is MUCH less common in American sports and tolerance for it much lower) and is literally too pre-occupied to set up and observe the continuance of play.

Make it so that if you want to argue a call, you have to deal with Ref B, with the full understanding that in the meantime, Ref A is placing the ball and allowing the team to start, such that your arguing puts you at risk of being out of position and nobody will be sad for you if you give up a goal because of it.
