Likely it wouldn't ruin the dollar. A lot of that would be raise the aggregate demand, so what's the problem? What basically universal income does is ...
OK, in order to understand what we are talking about, let's look at the case of the US and what they could do and how their debt is owned, who are the...
Benkei...you really care for rich people? Besides, the system is fractional reserve banking. It's not like it's just your savings that the bank lends ...
Of course, there is the option of a) inflation, b) default. How about a debt jubilee? Or is it going to be again a bailout of the extremely rich and w...
I think we have had the dead cat bounce now (from -30% back up to -15% from the all time highs). But of course, does any fed supported asset prices re...
?praxis ?ssu SSU, pay attention to this prediction please, that will be #2. :joke: You might be right. Yet I think both of these countries will try to...
Is it higher? If (and that's a big if) you got back then your letter to the editor being published in a major newspaper, I guess you were far more hea...
A poor country can indeed get more easily higher growth figures. Getting people to earn 2$ a day from 1$ a day is quite easy. Getting people earn from...
Actually, I did understand that likely you didn't intend to saying that United Fruit / the US wanted to kill ALL Guatemalans, but saying that the "int...
Your reasoning that because we cannot model an individuals behaviour, mathematical modelling is useless is simply wrong. It's not a fact. It would be ...
You make my case. First, it's Madeleine Albright. Second, the quote you refer Albright saying was about UN Sanctions, which were put on after the Sadd...
Perhaps you should give a clearer reason for this as we do see that math can be used in modelling especially behavior of large groups. And statistics ...
I'm very happy for not having to choose between Biden and a Third party candidate. :smile: Happy with my own President, voted for him now twice (and h...
? If you refer to me, I did (the link above). And I just wanted to give a logical reason why social sciences differ and cannot reach the objectivity o...
In the actual article you make the correct point that economics is different: The simple fact is that economics or sociology simply cannot be like nat...
And what you have to use is source criticism. There are indeed conspiracies, and then there are those that aren't. And one has to understand which are...
Yes. I think the scare of Corona-virus will fade away once it isn't hyped by the media AND when the worst is over. At least next year we are tired abo...
In your dreams. That would mean that the DNC would a) admit their failure, b) make dramatic changes and c) take risks. The geriatric leadership of the...
Isn't sexually harassing women a precondition to be a president of the US? I guess for American male politicians, who typically are quite old, it's im...
Those naturally who cannot work because of the lockdown and have bills to pay. I assume that the hardest hit is the service sector. Travel, restaraunt...
This is the problem typically with conspiracy theories. Everything that happens has to have been planned by someone, who basically is against the "ord...
I assume many countries will start loosening up their restrictions and adapt more of the approach that Sweden has. I think they are starting to be con...
In a time when there wasn't freedom of speech and people had to be very careful what they said in public, it is no wonder that secret societies were v...
Cash won't evaporate, it will go to the rich people. :grin: And there's a long way to get universal income especially to the US. What likely will happ...
I disagree. People had watched Trump, the reality TV star, and thought he was a competent businessman. He was a billionaire, so someone that Americans...
Hopefully this moron of a president will finally get into his small head that he is doing damage to his image by these daily appearances where everybo...
? ? ? Sharing? I'm not so sure what your idea is. First of all, let's think about this just from the US point of view. Those 26 million or basically 3...
Just a small anecdote that shows how US Stimulus packages work in real life: With the first "small business" stimulus package roughly 80% of the money...
I think you try to be sarcastic. I think we do have an economic depression now around us. Only later will it be admitted. The pandemic has only been t...
Umm.... surely the architecht, the person responsible of the path the Sweden is positive about it. And Swedes like him btw. I think that Trump would l...
Well, it's a bit difficult just to let a full oil tanker to stay full. Yet Brent crude is still 25$, so it's not anytime soon that that the gas statio...
Boethius got my point, I'll confirm it. You see, far too easily we assume that people are just repeating the talking points of one side. People aren't...
This is the long term problem with the Democrats and the institutional problem with the US with the two party system. Why on Earth did they choose Hil...
Every country is going now to the unknown. And this changes things a lot. Because for the UK the Brexit was a self induced problem. Just think of it, ...
Ah! The birthplace and home of the Donald. (Yep, too bad the 2020 election won't be a competition between two born in New York.) But you do understand...
I think this is a great time to do your Brexit. It can be possible that nobody will notice anything! The world economy is already collapsing to an eco...
I agree. Especially when there is a understandable desire to keep the numbers of deaths low. Hence what sometimes happens are these sudden upticks in ...
The basic problem is that far too many people are simply totally partisan, total hypocrites and have absolutely no interest whatsoever to hear what ar...
No. It's you utter inability to understand that people can be critical of BOTH Trump AND the Democrats. If you see that being critical about Obama / B...
I think this above describes aptly seriousness of the the coronavirus into perspective. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVzZPMUXQAcWFdV.jpg What I'm total...
The final straw came when an US air attack targeted and killed Pakistani border guards at Gora Prai. Pakistan refused after that (if I remember correc...
Well, someone started a Corona and Stockmarkets... thread, but that may seem far too narrow. I think this is just fine. Just like the Trump thread jum...
