My concerns about Gary Stevenson’s economics of wealth taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… Gary Stevenson has emerged as a major exponent of wealth taxes, but his latest video has made it clear that his economics is neoliberal in its framing, embracing ideas such as the household analogy, claims that the government can run out of money and that it is funded by taxes, none of which are true. And the fact is that you cannot build social justice on the basis of inappropriate economic framing, so this matters.

My concerns about Gary Stevenson’s economics of wealth

In a recent video, Gary Stevenson said: “Governments are running out of money, just like a person running down their savings.” Gary Stevenson has become a significant critic of inequality in the UK today. His video this week is no exception.

How U.S. imperialism blackmails the world with nuclear weapons, from Hiroshima to today

Since the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, US imperialism has driven nuclear proliferation worldwide. Current nuclear flashpoints, such as Iran, show how the US continues to use nuclear blackmail to reinforce its dominance.

The 60 degree or greater Apparent FOV really increases the enjoyment of binocular viewing IMO. Whether nature viewing, birds, wildlife, astronomy. As long as the eye relief is decent enough.

50 degree Apparent FOVs (which are quite common)are serviceable but more utilitarian. It's easier to make these 50 degree AFOV eyepieces sharp with flatter fields. This smaller Apparent FOV can be advantageous when scanning for movement on a battlefield situation, keeping the entirety of the view in your primary cone of focus allows you to detect movement and outlines over a greater span of the field.

These Nikon 18x70 Astroluxe binocluars and the Fujinon 16x70 are the cream of the large binocular crop. Not counting the astronomically priced Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica produced stuff.

There are some good lower cost options like the Oberwerk 15x70 Deluxe. (There is a pair of these on eBay for a cool $230 right now.) I own a pair of these and they are fantastic large objective lens binoculars. @Elliptica may be interested in these eBay specials.

You really need a solid tripod and mount to get the most out of these though. They come with a nice protective carrying case. #Binoculars

Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Yes.

If you want to make absolutely sure that Windows can't spy on anything, you'll need to physically remove the storage device containing Linux when booting.

A more practical but slightly less secure approach is to enable full disk encryption on Linux. Then, if Windows does decide to get sneaky it'll only see random data.

This doesn't prevent hostile code such as ransomware from destroying the data though. For that, you need to have good backup hygene.

A good backup system is to have automatic daily backups to some online cloud storage provider, and weekly or monthly backups to a physical device you keep disconnected and safe.

@wy7usa I'm not so sure. After all, if you just gobble everything Trump says and he keeps saying "THEY are paying US" nonsense over and over again.... Ya know.
In any case, the US government spends what it spends and the cuts Trump can make are a drop in an ocean, so either way average American won't be paying less anytime soon. In one way or another the American people have to pay for that and they will because there's no other way

These are not beginner's astromy binoculars.

I recommend a 10x50 with a Wide 60-70 degree Apparent Field of View...which you can ascertain by them having a 6.0-7.0 degree True FOV.

10x50 binoculars will much easier to hand hold, at the lower power and also much lighter weight.

But you can start with any binoculars that you may have, like common birding glass with 40-42mm objective lenses.
