I think its because deflation is when the money supply is contracting and less debt is being created, so asset values begin to be valued at their actual value instead of their inflated nominal value, and people are no longer encouraged to attain the cantillon effect that drives up asset values.

Which an inflated nominal value then causes more consumption via the wealth effect, and the misallocation of capital known as the business cycle, that requires bailouts via money printing in order to debase people on fixed income which provides riskier debt issuance and more innovation.

Is that why my if statements don’t work properly?

On X86 only I think.

Now we can export our chip production to China as well, just as we did all the other high paid union jobs.

Like what, some kind of parenting?

I like a BeOS style vertical taskbar with window names. Neither of them do it well.

Not to mention DRM. They want to own your computer and prevent any kind of modification so that movie producers give them money.

Which itself is a gimmick, they’ve just made the gates taller, electron leakage would happen otherwise.

Well I’ve just read Afd supporters posts about immigration. As far as being good or bad for the economy, I guess it depends if you hold assets that get inflated.

A landlord will definitely benefit, and that will definitely grow GDP; which left leaning people used to care about the poor rather than worshipping at the god of GDP. The fear of their own kind calling them a racist may have defeated that.

Destroy the poor, and maybe the fallout will fix the repercussions. Is that the plan then.

She lives in the woods and scavenges for pine beetles and bark for nourishment. She really cares, and she isn’t being groomed to be a politician who gets kickbacks for green washing.

Stronghold Defense mod is amazing. It’s basically a base defense game against hundreds of enemies parading towards you, with custom weapons and power ups.

Oh thats pretty neat. I know Cosmos Cloud had some interesting functionality similar to that, with Oauth support for everything. Though I’ve not tried it.

Flat fees for breaking the law are only a tax on the poor. If money can buy you privilege then you live in an oligarchy.

If you want systemic change to the economic system there’s definitely an order of operations here to follow, wouldn’t you agree?

If I want to redesign a roller coaster my first step shouldn’t be to start removing the tracks while passengers are on it.

I have a birth bath I don’t ever replace the water in. Its like a shrub to me.

What if I’m against immigration due to a housing bubble that is destroying the poor and dramatically increasing price to income ratios, am I a racist or a saint?

I think anyone with a brain can see that in many countries mass immigration is being used to depress wages and invert the phillips curve after QE, or to prop up GDP to avoid a technical recession in favor of a per-capita recession, which is for some reason not defined or acknowledged. It also clearly hurts the poor and benefits the rich via asset price inflation and higher rental income.

China produces the bulk of rare earths the US uses for things like military production, which puts the US as dependent on China as Canada is dependent on the US. The reality is absurd no matter which way things go.

Europe is doing carbon border adjustments to attempt to do something similar if I’m not mistaken, though its still early stages.

The reason Trumps idea appeals to people for those unaware is that free trade destroyed a lot of union jobs, which were outsourced to emerging markets. After the industrial revolution unions fought for worker rights and salaries, and they were then shipped away to places that didnt have those rights, and they want to see a reversal of this.

Not sure if its right or wrong, but you cant fault them for holding out hope, its actually a left wing ideal I would say, large government protectionism interfering in the free market. Saying that all factory jobs are bad is a silly retort, there are many factory jobs in the US already that people are happy to have; even ASML making advanced semiconductor fabs is a “factory job”.
