this is kind of politics right?

"An economics professor says his flight was delayed because a fellow passenger thought the equations he was writing might be a sign he was a terrorist."
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/07/professor-flight-delay-terrorism-equation-american-airlines

and here's something not in the article

"A potential terrorist plot was thankfully averted yesterday in America, when a very obtuse lady - clearly taking her cue from Führer Trump - observed in an American Airlines flight a gentlemen of lesser than acceptable white complexion, writing out strange symbols and complex numbers next to her. Worried that he might be a terrorist, she passed a secret note to a flight attendant and ingeniously made an excuse to alert the authorities.
Thankfully, the authorities quickly intervened and and determined that the said gentleman, while not carrying weapons of maths instruction, was in fact a member of a terrifying gang: the al-Gebra Movement. The al-Gebra group was founded by the Arab mathematician al-Khawarizmi, who wrote a book entitled Ilm al-Jabr, from which the group derived its name. This gentleman, upon further investigation, was revealed to be a full-fledged, senior ranking member of the cult, and had been conferred the title 'Professor' - the highest ranking title in the movement. He was charged with actively recruiting students to employ al-Gebra's techniques in their daily lives, and pleaded guilty to the more serious charge of advocating members to sign up to al-Gebra training.
Al-Gebra is a fearsome cult, and many high-schoolers who are exposed to it are immediately terrified at the cruelty of the techniques it employs. Members of the cult seek to find average solutions to complex equations; they create differences and derive functions at will, terrifying innocent bystanders. Many a young lady (and even men) have been known to wake up in the middle of the night, sweating and screaming with fear, the night before facing al-Gebra's tests.
It is well-known that they refer to themselves with obscure terms such as 'x' and 'y', hiding behind standard deviations and making their points, drawing their lines, and dissecting complex square roots with imaginary numbers.
People who follow such extreme views typically believe they can have have their pi and eat it too.
Although the authorities were not quite sure of the angle of this 'professor', and could not calculate the unknown variable found in his collection of radii-active materials, they were at least able to multiply their theorems and demonstrate that they were diagonally opposed to prime concepts such as common sense.
The Attorney General remarked, "If I've said it n times, I've said it n+1 times: the al-Gebra movement thinks itself acute, but in reality it has an infinite number of problems, and we shall continue to sin and co-sin away at them until we get to the root of their solution. You can count on me!"
To which the Al-Jazeera Reporter asked, "Which numeral system does your agency employ in counting out against radical al-Gebra?"
"Well, obviously, Arabic numerals of course. What else works?!" he replied."

Communism and socialism is so often accused for "looking good in theory, but not working in practice", while capitalism is perceived to work in practice. I found this nice quote from an article today.

"We have historically decided here in Denmark that dentistry should be privately financed with a small public subsidy. The market forces and free choice should give increased competition, which should give lower prices in principle. But that isn't how it is. Because in dentistry, it is also rational with continuity in the form of going to the same dentist multiple times. And then the market forces aren't in play anyway."
Source: http://www.dr.dk/levnu/krop/saadan-vaelger-du-den-rigtige-tandlaege

This is just one of the cases where the free market is supposed to give competition and reduce prices, but in practice it ends up not doing that and instead, add a big portion to the price that goes directly to some capitalist. Another example is the privatized, more expensive healthcare in USA, compared to the many public healthcare systems. I would argue that even if a free market could give lower prices in some cases, that's not necessarily a good thing. If state-owned dentistry were overpriced, the extra costs might fund something else like education, which isn't necessarily worse than the cheapest possible dentistry for the consumer. Especially when you consider other products like luxuries or pollutive products, higher prices could actually be better.

In other news, we were on the barricades today :P against the parlament which will with all probability be voting to sell of 19% of the state's stocks in DONG Energy. Demonstrations or not, it is probably too late to change this, but they deserve to see all the resistance they can get.
Despite 68% of citizens being against the sale, the parlament has now voted yes.

Remember this...
The value of Dong Energy has increased significantly recently, tripled over 3 years. Goldman Sachs will earn about 7-11 billion DKK from the sale and subsequent stock market launch.

I hope one day, the social democrats participating in this sale and all the other corrupt politicians will be in jail for treason.

The Chilcot report from Great Britain sheds some light on Denmark's role in the Iraq war. Not so surprisingly, being one of the many countries ruled by a corrupt bunch of puppets for the capitalist class, invading the oil-rich Iraq based on lies, commercial interests ranked highly. Representatives from Danish companies were put into the local administration in Basra, and this part below was an interesting read. Our previous government opened a similar investigation to the British one, but our current government (the same one that started the war) has, not surprisingly, closed the investigation.

Quote from: Donald Trump
Mother nature would scold her gay sons and lesbian daughters; she did not want them to be like this.

We must protect them from mother nature! Kill mother nature! Build more factories! Make the world hotter! Change all climates! All this to protect our gay sisters and lesbian brothers from the scolding of mother nature!

<Iezikol> "Trump spokesman: We need to talk about ‘punishing’ Clinton for ‘trying to influence the election’"
<Iezikol> " When do we talk about the other side, which is what did Hillary Clinton do to influence the election? Is she being punished?”

"But considering most people only have 1 or 2 internet providers as an option, the effective monopoly makes it incredibly difficult for the public to do anything."

i'm glad the free market can take its course
