I'd have to ask my dad he knows alot about chile and economics. Come back tomorrow and i might explain

>>3524607
Ok thank you because Chile was the first major country to abandon the classic Bismarckian model of a DB PAYG pension system and replace it with a DC individual account system which avoids the demographic stress dilemma that the European pension systems are facing right now and the Chilean model is an interesting solution

Engage with the thread topic, Amerimutt

WHY DOES NOBODY ON THIS GODFORSAKEN BOARD WANT TO TALK ABOUT POLITICS ANYMORE. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A POLITICAL DEBATE FORUM. IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME. "POLITICAL." "DEBATE." TWO WORDS, BOTH OF THEM IMPORTANT, NEITHER OF THEM MEANING "POST A PICTURE OF A WOLF IN A HOODIE AND GET FOUR HUNDRED REPLIES IN SIX MINUTES."

I SPENT THREE HOURS LAST NIGHT WRITING A FULLY SOURCED EFFORTPOST ON FISCAL FEDERALISM AND THE STRUCTURAL INCENTIVES OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERS. THREE HOURS. I CITED ACTUAL SOURCES. I MADE A CHART. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY REPLIES I GOT. ZERO. ZERO REPLIES. MEANWHILE SOME GUY POSTS "is it morally okay to be a fox" AND THE THREAD HITS NINE HUNDRED POSTS AND GETS PINNED BY A MODERATOR WHO I AM PRETTY SURE IS ALSO A FOX.

AND THE BAIT. OH, THE BAIT. EVERY SINGLE DAY. "WHAT IF WE ABOLISHED THE CONCEPT OF TUESDAYS." "DEVILS ADVOCATE: IS WATER WET, A GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS." THESE THREADS GET HUNDREDS OF REPLIES BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS BAIT AND THEY REPLY ANYWAY TO SAY "THIS IS BAIT" WHICH IS STILL A REPLY WHICH STILL COUNTS WHICH STILL BUMPS THE THREAD ABOVE MINE. MY BEAUTIFUL THREAD. MY ORPHAN THREAD. SITTING ON PAGE ELEVEN WHERE NO HUMAN EYE WILL EVER FIND IT.

I AM NOT EVEN AGAINST FUN. I LIKE FUN. I HAVE HAD FUN BEFORE. BUT THERE IS A DESIGNATED PLACE FOR THE FUN AND IT IS CALLED THE OFF TOPIC SUBFORUM WHICH EXISTS, WHICH I HAVE LINKED, WHICH EVERYONE IGNORES BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT IS FUNNIER TO DERAIL A THREAD ABOUT TARIFF POLICY WITH A FORTY POST ARGUMENT ABOUT WHETHER A CERTAIN CARTOON DRAGON IS "VALID."

WHO RAISED YOU PEOPLE. WHO LET YOU NEAR A KEYBOARD. I CAME HERE TO ARGUE ABOUT MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY AND INSTEAD I AM WATCHING A USER NAMED "ScalesMcGee_OwO" GET MORE ENGAGEMENT THAN MY ENTIRE POSTING CAREER OF NINE YEARS.

AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT, NO, "JUST POST MORE INTERESTING TOPICS" IS NOT THE ANSWER. MY TOPICS ARE INCREDIBLY INTERESTING. SUBSIDIARITY IS INTERESTING. THE FINER POINTS OF EXCISE STRUCTURE ARE INTERESTING. YOU ARE ALL JUST BROKEN.

I HAVE A GOOD MIND TO START MY OWN FORUM. NO FURRIES. NO BAIT. JUST DEBATE. IT WILL BE PERFECT. IT WILL HAVE EXACTLY ONE MEMBER AND THAT MEMBER WILL BE ME AND I WILL REPLY TO MY OWN THREADS AND FINALLY, FINALLY, SOMEBODY WILL BE LISTENING.

ANYWAY I HAVE TO GO. SOMEONE QUOTED MY EFFORTPOST. MY HEART IS RACING. IT SAYS "tl;dr?" I AM GOING TO LIE DOWN.
