Why Are There Always Food Shortages in Communist Or Socialist Led Countries?

The reason there are shortages are due to there is NO market system.Lets not split hairs but just about everything tangible has a price. If it doesnt have a price it exists in such abundance as to be natural, like air for example but one can imagine situations when air has a price.

Everything is free nothing has a value. The natural market sets the price of a thing. 200 years ago oil was worth zero in the marketplace.

The ingenuity of man created a market for oil. It is impossible to run any economy without a pricing system. It is that simple.

Where actual free market price is suppressed or controlled by government monopoly without competition then you get shortages. Government can not create a market for anything either. Where the environmentalists claim such is possible what really is created is a tax and not a market.

In socialist and commie countries or any country that controls the price of a thing or service you will get long lines of citizens ;waiting in bread lines; waits for needed surgery; waiting for toilet paper. The queue is the price citizens pay to get something for nothing. In other words the citizen is going to pay in some form and often has to do without.

But heh. that is okay. for example because the Democrat party will make health care free.

a natural right. There is no end the ways the left attempts to expunge market for any good even guns. .

the result is a black market and poverty and loss of freedom for everyone

Is there any evidence a 'silent majority' is still hanging around waiting to vote Trump into office again?

No.There was no silent majority in 2016.

Trump won the electoral college by about 100,000 votes in three states. Clinton got 3 million more votes nationally. In both cases, aggregates of polls at the time ended up being within the margin of error.

What created the illusion of a silent majority was the fact that most state polls consistently had Clinton ahead so most prognosticators decided, despite the margin of error, that it was unlikely she would lose those states. When she lost, the narrative became that the polls were wrong, not the prognosticators. But technically the polls werent wrong, because the results were within the margin of error.

The same is true of aggregates of polls in the yearly elections since.So whatever amount of Trump voters who refuse to answer polls or answer them incorrectly are accounted for in the margin of error. Far from being a majority they account for at most 3% of all voters.

What this means is if polling aggregates in MI, WI and PA still show Biden up by more than 4% come Election Day, he is going to win those states, and thus the electoral college. National polls are typically more accurate than state polls though, so if Biden stays above 5% nationally that will also translate to an electoral college victory.Trump can afford to lose any two of MI, WI and PA and still win, as long as he keeps every other state he won in 2016.

Right now Biden is ahead by more than 3% in those 3 states, as well as others that Trump won (AR and FL, and close in NC). He is also well ahead nationally

Where are examples in which the 0.1% happened rather than the 99.

9% probability?

Almost everything that actually happens has almost no chance of happening (as viewed in the space of all things that could happen).And when I say almost no chance, I mean something far far less than 0.

1%.For example thoroughly shuffle a standard deck of 52 cards. The sequence of cards you get is one of 52!

approx8times10^67 possibilities. That is so many possibilities that the particular sequence you got has almost certainly never occurred before. And that happens with a set of only fifty-two cards.

The sequence of nucleotides making up your DNA is considerably more complicated. The probability of you happening distinct from the seven billion or so other people on the planet, let alone all the quadrillions of other living organisms, not to mention the virtually limitless other possibilities that might occur is so small as to be insignificant. And yet here we both are, communicating on color#b92b27bftextQuora: who would credit it?

In fact to find things with probabilities greater that 0. 1% you have to create artificial mathematical idealisations that don't actually exist in the real world, like rolling a fair die, or flipping a coin. Modelling things in the real world leads to far too many possibilities and details to model accurately.

As a result we end up with simplified idealised models in which misleadingly large probabilities occur. In reality the probability that you are reading this particular answer at this particular time is vanishingly small. Far less than the probability of you winning that jackpot lottery (assuming you have bought a ticket).

Unfortunately the fact that you are reading this particular answer at this particular time is also far less financially rewarding than winning that jackpot ddotsmallfrown.

I got fired as a developer for bad technical skills, but still want to be a developer. What should I do?

My main weakness is I learn new skills slowly. I really love programming and want to work in software development. How should I improve?

Identify a problem or error in code you created or worked on. Special bonus if you identify a problem that recurred multiple times. Think hard and honestly about the underlying root cause(s).

Then look for good practices that would prevent that problem from occurring in the first place. They can be a simple as adopting a better coding style (variable names, logic structure, modularization, refactoring) or thinking more before coding in the first place (better unit tests, ask questions before charging ahead, RTFM, reuse open source before building from scratch) Then adopt the new practice(s) until they are ingrained, critically assessing them along the way. Repeat.

Strive to never make the same mistake twice. Learn from each one and use it as a tool to keep improving.If you incrementally assess your approaches, and gradually replace bad work habits with good work habits, you'll find yourself making fewer and fewer coding nightmares, and soon be producing higher quality software right from the start.

Keep learning and studying and assessing -- removing weaknesses and adding strengths. Learning is a life long long journey. (BTW, this approach carries over to most complex skills, not just coding)I would much rather have a disciplined thoughtful programmer on my team with strong engineering work habits, than a "brilliant" cowboy who shoots from the hip.

I'll gladly work with someone at any level who generally wants to learn and improve, but get very frustrated after seeing someone make the same mistake repeatedly who is in too much of a hurry to slow down and figure out how to avoid the mistake in the first place

What are some memorable moments in cricket matches?

It was one of the few games I played with my school team. The local U-16 inter school tournament where my school was one of the participants.

My team was almost full of my classmates and a few other juniors. The captain was one of my close friends. So, what happened was we were down to about 10-4 in 3 overs against a more senior kind of team and almost 17 more overs to go.

Our main scorers of the tournament were back into the pavilion and only one other experienced batsman was remaining.I was more of a medium pacer and would be the second last person to go to bat normally. But owing to my good defence play and able to stay at the crease, I was promoted directly to go in at 5 down to protect the other important batsman from the spinners who had created a havoc.

I managed to stay at the crease even as the fastest bowlers were bowling those quicker deliveries before an unforeseen event occurred. A throw from one of the opponent fielders struck my wrist directly which caused severe swelling. At that time of hit, I hardly had noticed it but later on when the umpires saw it increase they had to force me to retire hurt despite some medical sprays.

Our batting collapsed and the innings got over without me going to bat again. I was not allowed to field by my coach and another substitute was sent in my place. Eventually we lost that match but I got much appreciation from the opponent team players during the formal hand shakes.

Even though I was disappointed to have not lived up to his expectations, but I was happy that the captain had that faith in me to promote me up the order.

I am weak person by heart, How do I build my courage?

Im going to answer this in a way that most people will find (at least) counterintuitive.

But it reflects the way that the mind/body/emotion actually works.You may think Im nuts, but simple TRY IT. If you want to feel brave, ACT brave.

The reality is that feelings actually follow actions.There was a classic experiment to determine which came first; thoughts feelings or actions.So a group of men with a known fear of heights were asked to cross a wood and rope bridge across a river which was safe but moved about when walked on.

At the START of the bridge they place a very attractive female with the cleavage and short skirt etc etc. SHE was the one who asked the men to cross the bridge with a winning smile of encouragement. Nine out of ten men crossed without argument, were surprised at the fact that they had , and felt really good about themselves.

However, when the female was replaced by another man 7 out of 10 refused despite all encouragement.The first group all admitted they didnt want to look weak in the eyes of the attractive lady, so they ACTED brave, and when they did , they FELT brave.Sometimes this happens in the wild when a parent sees a child in danger or hurt or whatever.

It happens in wartime when someone runs out to help a fallen comrade.Its the same with love and relationships, If you dont feel like making love (when your partner does) just start making love, the mood will come quite quickly.Initially this sounds really dumb, but just TRY it.

AND the more often you do it the easier it becomes.It really is that simple

What are some historical facts that sound fictional?

The year is approximately 500 BC and you, a good citizen of the Ancient Greek colony Massalia (Marseille), have been having something of a tough time recently.

Your wife Artemisia has just died of all the plagues and your children, all disappointingly daughters, have married and moved away.You made an okay living as a playwright but if youre being honest, you know that monkeys could write better plays and youre not even certain what those are. So you decide that theres only one thing for it.

Youre going to commit suicide. But youre not going to hang yourself or drown yourself or anything else so uncivilised. Youre going to send in an application to the senate and claim your government issued bottle of hemlock, entirely free of charge!

You see, Massalia had a policy whereby you would be allowed to claim a free bottle of hemlock from the senate if you:Were a citizen of Massalia (i. e not a slave)Were not contributing to societyHad some sort of meeting wherein it was determined that this would be the best option for youOf course, this little fact comes from Livy who was writing a few hundred years in the future and who Im fairly certain also claimed that North Africans rode giant scorpions into battle so you know. Grain of salt and all that.

(Edit: in hindsight I think the scorpion idea was actually the work of Herodotus who had nothing to do with Massalia but Im leaving it in because I flatter myself that that paragraph flows quite nicely!)
