The first thing I'll note is the reason that windfall taxes are likely to harm companies for free fall. The first reason, of course, was that the contracts that companies use, which would allow them to make record profits where they negotiated prices two years before the war in Ukraine and then sold prices relative to ... |
The second reason that they invested in various good things would come with the increased operating costs. And the final thing that these companies—no, thank you—and the final thing that the market rate going down means that there is less scoping countries where the prices are decided by the market rate for them to mak... |
The reasons that we gave as to why this is likely to be done badly then was separable. The first reason is the demonization which has come from the fact that people are struggling due to higher inflation. The fact that the perception is that these companies did make high profits, and this is objectively true or well-re... |
So governments themselves have a pressure to prove that they are increasingly—the fact that governments have high interest rates, increasing tax burdens, and need cash for things like their pensions obligations. The fact that this just becomes normalized as a political tool to promise to fund stuff in the same way that... |
I want to weigh this against the councils that we bought in the government speech. The first thing we hear is that pension funds are invested in, and they've impairedly invest in the world, so governments are unlikely to set the price and the tax in a high way. The problem is this ignores several things. The first is t... |
But the second and more important thing that this ignores is the fact that just that is it—the fact that the investment that these companies have or that these potential funds have does not is not the predominant thing which affects government decision-making. It is how easy it is to sell the narrative. It is how angry... |
It is the harm of losing the election if you don't implement it. It is the comparisons which constantly occur. Wait, what is the most likely conception of this policy? It is the one that we explain because it is not disruptable consideration, but predominantly thinking of these politicians and the short term incentive... |
<poi> |
If you list the reasons as to why you think they made a lot of profit and the government's invested, and it is true, and the wording of the motion is true as they made high profit. Do you think your other point is true that somebody's invested so much in green profit, green energy, that they are now at risk at defaulti... |

Okay, stop. The same thing about this idea of defaulting so with this debate we don't need to prove that mom and pop shop default. We don't need to prove that that like oil companies go fast. This is about the profit in and of itself, being a good thing, because we demonstrated that structurally, they invested it in go... |
So the impact that we're proving in this debate is not that these companies are going bust. It's not as reliant on consolidation as open opposition mechanisms work. It is that they use their fuck off record profits to do good things. We support that they have higher costs into the future as a result of that. That is un... |
I think that weighing all of this up is easy to see when doing this debate for a number of reasons. Firstly, competitive, prison. Government's duty to recoup. One thing to say is that most companies didn't just grow money and energy companies. Lisa said, No, this isn't true. One Lisa trust did this. She wasn't a member... |
But secondly, this seems that you get exactly the same amount back as you tax, but if you believe operant on the culture of taxation and how this is likely to be used in the future. This is not true. So they're not fulfilling the tax obligation that these companies were given via subsidies by taxing them by this wirele... |

Western liberal democracies, we don't have separate legal systems for different religious groups, we don't have different public services for different religious groups, we think it is absurd that we still have faith-based education where people can simply opt out of the education. We think that all people in a Western... |
But secondly, this impacts everything about the lives of students. It impacts the ways in which they see the world, it impacts their ability to break out of their communities and meet people from different walks of life and actually be the masters of their own destiny. That is extraordinarily important. |
This debate, uh, closing, you have anything? Yeah, opening, |
<poi> |
If you go home and tell your parents they're gods that actually created the world, will they just say, "Yes, son, you're correct. Your teacher is actually correct"? |
</poi> |
Uh, firstly, I think that if you are talking about religious nutjobs, that is probably symmetric under both sides of the house. There is a large section of people in the middle who are typically kind of moderate and will be in like, you know, have this kind of discourse. Secondly, it is unclear why you even need to, li... |

I need to be particularly clear. What this motion does is that it states tell somebody the god to which you have dedicated your life, the god in whose name you have baptized your child into. You are not allowed to teach them about that, you're not allowed to take your child to an institution that serves and teaches the... |
<poi> |
Okay so, your difference is that in religious communities that are very religious, they get more religious and try to impose more religion. Our difference is more unique in so far as at least now you have some countervailing information and some countervailing education. |
</poi> |
It doesn't matter if you have some principle because your parents will go tell you at home, "No, no, no, God created the world." You will trust your parents more than you will trust your teacher anyway, because they take care of you, because they love you, because they're the ones that have been there since the beginni... |
What are the impacts? The worst successes that the government will try to claim do not happen and are heavily mitigated by the fact that they are in educational institutions. Secondly, there's more checks and balances than if they were at home because there are more teachers there, more students, which means that there... |

First, pushing back on the characterization, then on new beliefs to encounter, and then on regulation. Firstly, on framing, I think Anna just tells you an extremely a factual picture of the world by telling you that religious communities only really exist in cities like Alabama or states that are really religious anywa... |
<poi> |
But I think it's like I said, they are taught common curriculum as well. They're not taught religion 24/7. They have everything else, but also religion. |
</poi> |
Okay, on to regulation and the curriculum. The first thing I told you is that the curriculum is largely to be the same. Firstly, I think and it's still going to be checked. The first thing I think the mechanism she gives you about these people having a large incentive to check these world is wrong because oftentimes, g... |

This might have its stop for the opening government of this around but there are religious people that are gay that are queer, there are religious people that are tolerant, there are religious people that are welcoming and there are religious people that are not. We do not understand this very very narrow portrayal in ... |
<poi> |
So obviously not all religious people are bigoted maybe there will be some backlash, etc. We can believe all of this mitigation is true our very simple claim was just, that on the comparative you are more likely to be taught in school a book about a queer couple or exposed to new scientific ideas. That is the marginal ... |
</poi> |
But on this, in the best case scenario if you have this possible marginal change it's still very uncertain, right? You the and you have certain controls for which you can actually account for those to actually be taught good lessons, right? You have exams you have Board control you have all of these that are actually c... |

Okay so I think we've heard a lot about like people might change their minds, people might, like we've had a lot of impacts that are great. But I think the corrupts of this issue isn't about whether like minority religions are like going to not allow their like not be allowed to like celebrate their religion or like wh... |
<poi> |
As Western liberal democracy, would you also ban French School in the UK or Japanese school in the US? |
</poi> |
I don't think it's particularly to do with like nationality, it's just to do with religion. Like it's not about where you come from, it's about what religious belief you are and it's about like inflicting like those specific values to like everyone in the school. Like I think the values can generally be seen as good, b... |
<poi> |
So if they chose the Dynamics then most religious children to usual schools who mean the religious people are a minority and thus discriminated, you just reverse the balance I'm unclear. |
</poi> |
Thank you, so I think it's likely that when you like put religious like children. Because obviously some religious children are going to go to non-religious schools anyway. So I think it would improve life for them firstly, because like they would have more religious school like children in those schools and they would... |

We believe that School provide for much better integration and opalization of people who come from of people who come from religious families and we also believe that these schools provide like much greater choice and Agency for people to decide what they want to do in life, rather than if you don't allow people to let... |
<poi> |
So you're right eventually these kids will grow up and have to work, live and love alongside people from different backgrounds. That's why it's so important for them to meet a diverse range of people face to face while they are young and still impressionable. |
</poi> |
Why can't they make them outside school like somewhere else, yes, because uh you have two environments like we create for them two realities which they can compare, you create them one reality they have to conform to, they don't have a choice. Because like I think the closing governance said they can exercise religion ... |

Okay so first let's look at who the most important stakeholders in this debate are and why we care about them. Check in this debate the most important stakeholders are religious kids in religious schools and non-religious kids in religious schools as well the two biggest demographics and demographics in religious schoo... |

Ladies and gentlemen to today's classes I want to give us several rebuttal I think composition never engaged in the worst case scenario on what happens if parents choose to homeschool their kids. OG told you that the government can just regulate homeschooling. No, you cannot. Western liberal democracy cannot helicopter... |
<poi> |
So you say that kids will now become oppressed minorities, however we provide the analysis that children aren't born bigoted, they become bigoted through a lack of exposure and so under our side, other children in the same school are more likely to become accepted religious minority. |
</poi> |
In our school have the incentive to be less bigoted and more integrated to society because it's in their best interest to prepare their kids to be more successful in the society, right. So and then also um I think like the kids grew up in a mixed School tend to have less confidence when they have all these like insult ... |

After years of complex, two years of sound and fury, meaningless and pointless slaughter, all Putin has to show for it is going from controlling most of the Donbass to all of the Donbass, and I think what that shows clearly is something that is obviously not in interest, it's not something that's going to help him. He ... |
Now, I want to start explaining why Putin is weakened on a number of different levels as a result of this conflict. First of all, I think that the conflict has made Putin more reliant on individual warlords, people like Kadyrov in Chechen, for example, who are a crucial source of troops for Putin. The reason is, obviou... |
The next thing I want to note is that increasingly, more and more over time, as the conflict continues, the cost of food gets higher and higher. He has to engage in more and more repression as people protest after the killing of civilians. More and more body bags all regarding people that come home, and more and more a... |
Even that the likely comparative anyway is Putin retaining some control over Ukraine. Now, I'm not even sure the West is the likely alternative on their side of the house. Yes, maybe if Trump gets into power, then he'll try and get Ukraine to see a negotiation, but that's not really bad for Putin, right? Because obviou... |
Even if you view this as a marginal thing, it's still really sufficient to win in the debate because the risk of the paranoia that you probably feel as an individual level is much higher, when you realize the possibility of genuine actions against you. Before I continue, I want a poi. |

Putin decided to invade ukraine in 2014, west pulled out.[inaudible] |
</poi> |
Why was one of the most strange arguments I've ever had? It's like, yes, the West pulled out in 2014; that is now recognized as a mistake by the West. That is why support for Ukraine has been much higher. The current position is literally that Americans send $80 billion in aid, and crucially, even if America cuts off a... |
So yes, Western support for Ukraine is extraordinarily contingent, but even then, it's not entirely clear that Putin can successfully take over Ukraine, that is unlikely. Which means the most likely endpoints are having to fight this. Maybe cg can try and prove Ukraine all territory, but even if not, even if it remains... |
