Scary and very “up to date” still
“Dialogue between Jean-Baptiste Colbert and Jules Mazarin during the reign of Louis XIV:
Colbert: To find money, there is a time when cheating [the taxpayer] is no longer possible. I would like, Mr. Superintendent, to explain to me how it is possible to continue spending when you are already in debt up to your neck …
Mazarin: If you are a simple mortal, of course, when you are covered with debts, you end up in prison. But the State … the State is different! You cannot send the state to prison. So, he continues to go into debt… All States do it!
Colbert: Oh yes? Do you think so? However, we need money. And how do we get it if we have already created all the taxes imaginable?
Mazarin: Others are created …
Colbert: But we can no longer impose more taxes on the poor.
Mazarin: Yes, it is impossible …
Colbert: What about the rich?
Mazarin: Neither are the rich. They would not spend more. A rich person who spends makes hundreds of poor people live.
Colbert: So how do we do it?
Mazarin: Colbert! You think like a cheese, like a sick man’s potty! There are a huge number of people between the rich and the poor: those who work dreaming of becoming rich and fearing they will become poor. It is to these that we must impose more taxes, more and more, always more! Those, the more we take from them the more they will work to make up for what we took from them… It is an inexhaustible reservoir…. ”
The 12 most populated locations
The 12 agglomerations most populated in the World
China today has about 1 billion and 400 million inhabitants, almost the same population that had all the world, at the end of the XIXth century.
A city that grows at giant steps.
A real population explosion!
– No European city appears on the list. Moscow is the most populated European city (12.5 million) and ranks at 23rd.
– China has three cities with many million inhabitants:
Shanghai, Beijing and Chongqing. The three together exceed 63 million inhabitants.
Now let’s look at some aspects of the conditions in which people live in large cities, especially in Asia …
Transport and housing units make people feel… compressed, huddled, squeezed in small spaces.
Look at this saturated highway and sincerely say if it isn’t much better to live in smaller cities.
A city, for it to be “livable”, should not have more than 500 thousand inhabitants …
Today we are already 8 billion.
And, at the current rate of growth, we will be 10 billion in 2050. There is not enough space or natural resources for all of this! Something has to be done urgently to curb and reduce population growth of human beings on Earth.
Based on the PowerPoint made by Irene Aguir, that can be found here. These are the 2020 top 12 population countries.
Are this eggs?!…
“You do not even need chickens, nor do you
Chinese police dismantle factory to make artificial eggs from plastic materials and inedible human waste. And it exports its product to the Arab world and to Morocco, especially through Arab merchants !!!
The factory produces about 50,000 cartons per day (each with 360 eggs …)
This egg is the cause of the spread of gastrointestinal cancer diseases!
At present, the director of the Chinese factory is in jail. What is strange is that this Chinese industrial egg does not differentiate it from the original egg, either in shape or texture, and inside it is egg white and egg yolk, like the original chicken eggs, and is now widespread in our markets .”
