Animalism, Earthism

“The world can only go broke if someone else has all the money, perhaps Mars.”

:open_mouth:

These are the guys on your side, Mr. Reasonable.

Holey Guacamole.

“Green energy = triple the efficiency of fossil fuel.”

I need a drink…

“They can always ease. The BOJ and SNB are buying stocks, and so will the Fed and ECB. Eventually, the governments will own the market. The SNB is major shareholder in Apple and Apple backs the Swiss Franc.”

Japanese central bank assets are currently around 300% of Japan’s GDP. The ECB’s assets are approaching 100% of Europe’s.

The Fed is at a still staggering 20% or so.

I know you don’t know what the fuck that means or implies, but the information is not necessarily meant for you.

Looks like concession to me.

FIFY

Why does it scare you?

From Seeking Alpha’s morning briefing:

Upending the industry? The Trump administration is reaching out to the medical industry for feedback on requiring hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers to publicly disclose the heretofore confidential prices they charge insurers for services. Needless to say, health insurers, hospitals and most doctors will most certainly push back on the proposal. The public comment period will close Friday, May 3.

That’s what fixing a problem, instead of trying to make the state go broke by hiding stupid inefficient buro-vortexes behind ideas and self-righteousness (universal healthcare) looks like.

First you pull a bit at the knot, test the looser strings. Get a feel for how tangled it is.

How do you know?

What epistemological measures are you taking and what are their respective justifications?

Regurgitated can of alphabet soup.

Why do you think the market value of all items in all transactions constitutes basis for the valuing of a currency?

And if GDP is your reference, then which GDP methodology are you referring to? It changes all the time ya know. Is it 20% by 1950 standards or some other standard or today’s standard or which arbitrary number are you freaking out about? How about we just change the numbers to something you won’t freak out about.

A currency is backed by the faith and credit of the nation issuing it. Currencies can only go up or down in relation to another currency, so if they all print at the same time, then how could any fall in value?

Commodities are valued by supply and demand; amount of money supply is not a variable in the equation.

Japan has printed more than anyone, but the yen won’t go down and prices won’t go up.

Chess is a pretty concrete game. Move X leads to certain possible chains of moves, etc.

Here’s one of his responses to a request for which move is best in a particular board position…

It’s an endemic stylistic characteristic of the Satyr spawn and those they socialize with. Not Satyr himself. Or, let’s say, he manages to be concrete and clear also. But a trait of that subculture that flitted around him.

“amount of money supply is not a variable in the equation.”

Lol, I remember a scandal once in Venezuela when a video surfaced of a Spanish economist from Podemos making this point, that money supply has nothing to do with inflation. It was a scandal because that guy was Maduro’s main economic adviser.

Socialist economist… That’s like saying serial killer human rights activist.

“A currency is backed by the faith and credit of the nation issuing it. Currencies can only go up or down in relation to another currency, so if they all print at the same time, then how could any fall in value?”

Gold. Holy moley.

You hearing this, Mr R?

Print baby, print!

Should the crash have been allowed and millions allowed to starve?

I don’t think that’s the point. No serious person is arguing against taking action when things are threatening to get THAT bad. I’m saying… Well, first I’m saying look at what led to the crash in the first place, an ultra-regulated half-governmental body like Fannie May and Freddy Mac run amok, a body concieved for SOCIALIST purposes etc etc. But more importantly, I’m saying that within that precarious bull Heisenberg describes, the part of the G20 that is going broke is precicely the part that regulated and eased with a socialist bias. Europe, China, “emerging markets” like Brazil and India.

The US, which despite it all maintained its capitalist, free market bias, is standing on much more solid ground and still growing.

Jay pan is a different story.

I won’t get into it now, but I believe Steve Jobs destroyed the Japanese economy.

I feel like I’m missing something… how did chess and Satyr come into play? Animatron fundamentalist minions lobbing propaganda balls before beating brave retreats to safe spaces is how they roll. Disruption is the name of the game.

Observe the appeal of the propagandist:

Money supply is not a variable
You’re wrong because a person who said that was a friend of Maduro. Oh and he was a socialist. Socialism is bad, mkay.

Yeah man, you got me good.

Why gold? So that only those who have the gold will have the power???

Gold is the worst standard of money, followed closely by silver.

You think you’re hurting now? Try a gold standard! :laughing:

No sweetness. You. You are the gold.

That sentence was one of the most beautiful, most endearing things I have ever read.

Oh? Well maybe you’ll graduate to Dr. Seuss soon. Hang onto your hat!
