Keep in mind markets are wrong most of the time.

This is a wonderful idea. The police are ill equipped to handle the many situations where mental instability, alcoholism and drug use is at the center of a disturbance. We need a very different response, and very different facilities than jails, for these situations then what, in many...

Yah, same way, those who criticized Vladimir Putin brought on nerve agents. Same way Sakharov brought on exile from his homeland... Rules are Rules ... Same way Solzhenitsyn brought prison for criticizing Stalin... Rules are Rules. Rules are Rules. Don't talk back to a policeman even if he is...

OK. good point! Glad you brought it up. That's another thing we insist on: Police training must be changed!

Did the cops call an ambulance or just walk on? Did they go to the man's assistance?

We are on different wavelengths. You are saying how things are now. And how they are now, in this specific instance, is not wrong in your opinion. We are saying that the way the police reacted to an obviously harmless old man was wrong. We insist on them changing their behavior. We aren't...

And then what? The cop that shoved him away immediately called for an ambulance of course. And another cop went to the guys aid. Or maybe not.

I've been puzzled. I was thinking how can information, information that is so easily checked, get so distorted. Than it occurred to me, what a dummy I am that something so obvious could puzzle me so. You got you information direct from the horses mouth! That explains EVERYTHING!

o_O :rolleyes: Keep in mind that India is the most democratic large nation in the world. Perhaps It is also evidence that there is such a thing as too much democracy.

Probably not. Trump is mentally ill. He is unlikely to do what you or I would do under the same circumstances.

:rolleyes:

It's "a" recognized process, not "the" recognized process. This distinction is important.

Alterations in pension savings have nothing to do with the Central Bank's ability to keep interest rates low. All the C.B. has to do to keep rates low is flood reserve accounts with money by buying bonds. And, as we both agree, the Central Bank's ability to buy bonds is unlimited.

It doesn't cause inflation, as you can see, because it is done at a time when demand for money and thus credit is shrinking. Alternatively, it can be done as a part of a government subsidized loan program. Typically, OE results in swollen reserve accounts which banks may be iunable to loan out...

The Government's unlimited supply of money is an inherent feature of fiat money, regardless of whether a government engages in quantitative easing. Fiat money facilitates quantitative easing, a process in which the government uses its central bank to buy the Government's bonds on the open...

My opinion of your work has not changed. In my view you fail to recognize that government is the source of money, whereas government, via its taxing of society, and society, via its productivity, are sources of money's value. The nominal amount of sovereign fiat money is unlimited; it's value...

I agree completely. The voters chose the lessor of two evils , but because we do not elect our president democratically, the greater of two evils was able to prevail. The reality that we all must live with is that although democracy is deeply flawed, our Federal Republic is more flawed still...

The words were to the effect that your paper would be a valuable contribution "to the debate." (undoubtedly an overstatement). That there are some incidental similarities to actual practice and what you proposed is no indication that anyone, outside of yourself, paid any attention to what you...

We should definitely pay attention to your first point here. The second is a question for science to answer. It's a reasonable postulate. Sadly, Politics has intervened and made cooperation with our Chinese virologist colleagues more difficult. The most likely thing to have happened is that a...
