Is Butter Really Back? What the Science Says

Mordhaus says...

They were arguing over which foods were healthy and unhealthy around the time I was born. I suspect such arguments will continue after I am dead.

I eat butter. I eat eggs. I eat bacon. I don't even exercise that much.

I'm 45, almost 46.

My HDL as tested a month ago was 46. My LDL was 29. My Triglycerides were 121.

Things i'd like answered...

:47 What is the neon sanctuary sign from? (they had "sanctuary" in Logans Run but don't know if there was a neon sign)

:50 Is the SETI helicopter from anything?

1:01 Tatoo on womans arm seems familiar, but can't place it. Also is the scanning the eyes with a handheld device from something in particular?

1:18 The ROBOT sign seems familiar. Probably due to the font and particularly the "R".

2:22 What is the image on the watch from?

2:42 What is the Oragami and toy car from? Also is Quark from something?

2:45 Glowing object?

2:52 Chinese looking logos and walking through doorish type thing?

3:29 Can't place what that is from, but looks super familiar.

Rape charge dropped against USC student after video surfaces

Mordhaus says...

https://dailytrojan.com/2018/03/29/oed-finds-student-responsible-for-policy-violations/

They don't have to release any information as to why they found him responsible. They also don't have to allow him to have his attorney present nor allow any recording of the procedure. Basically your fate lies in the hands of a single person in charge of the OED. As far as I am aware, there is no appeals process either. His only recourse at this point is to sue the school and that is iffy from a legal standpoint. He would have to show a clear pattern that they are prejudiced against the accused, which means he would have to track down other people that they expelled and hope they were clearly innocent like he was.

I wonder why he was expelled anyway?

That information is presented anywhere.

We explain "Nordic Socialism" to Trump

Mordhaus says...

It doesn't work because there is an intrinsic group think personality in the Nordic region. Most people in that region that were born and raised there are very sensitive to profit making and ostentatious displays.

Which means that people are glad to simply 'get by'. There is not a mass drive to be better than your neighbor or own more toys than them. Of course there are outliers, but the bulk of Scandinavians are very used to the accepted norm. They are more willing to accept massive tax rates because they know they will be taken care of by the government. They aren't necessarily concerned about 'getting rich'.

Contrast that to other areas, especially the USA, and you will find out that it would never work here because we are an individualistic nation. Even the bluest liberal wants to be rich here. It's more cutthroat, more selfish, than you will find in a Scandi nation.

Another huge reason it would never work is that they do not spend anywhere near the percentage of their budget on defense that we do. Denmark spends about 20 billion per year on defense. Norway, an oil rich Scandi nation that is considered one of our most important NATO allies, spends about 6 billion. Less than 1.2% of their GDP. This is one thing that Trump was actually right about. We spend around 700 Billion, roughly 3.5% of our current GDP.

"Half the alliance — 16 of the 29 countries — don’t even spend 1.5 percent (of gross domestic product) let alone 2 percent that we all agreed on four years ago (at a NATO summit) in Wales,” Michael Fallon, who served as secretary of state for defense from 2014 to 2017, said. In 2017, only the U.K., Greece, Poland and Estonia reached the 2 percent target.

Whether that level of spending is needed is another argument altogether. I personally think we overspend way too much on defense, but regardless it is a huge factor as to why we can't offer the same level of 'socialism' that the Nordic nations do. If we spent the same percentage as Norway, we would be saving close to 460 billion dollars a year that could be applied to other programs. Such as paying for college for qualified students or trade school for ones that are not college minded. Or providing benefits to new mothers that we currently don't.

Ickster said:

Why wouldn't it?

I can think of material reasons why what works in Denmark wouldn't work in other countries, but basic population doesn't seem important (once you have a basic population big enough to support the services, it seems like they'd scale just fine).
