You're barking up the wrong tree. You'll always get this wrong until you study sovereign fiat money, where it comes from, how it gets into and comes out of the private sector, what its role in the economy is, what it's relationship is to "bank money", the essential nature of deficits and the...

This opinion from Ehud Barak is enligtening. Because of this interview I have a better grasp of the situation as it stands. So thank you. I can't escape the thought that the first step to any progress is to neutralize both Netanyahu and Hamas so that they no longer matter. But how to do that...

It's best if the U.S. makes foreign policy decisions independent of U.S. defense industry lobbyist's rhetoric, which is also parroted by certain congressmen and senators. The defense industry is not a disinterested party.

It's long been known that Democrats are biased toward truth, and vice versa. This is a flaw shared by many democrats that can likely never be remedied.

Thank you so much for posting that editorial. I hope every ETer will take the time to listen to it!

We are thinking along the same lines, and that, I suppose, is some indication of the reasonableness of our arguments. I fully agree that Netanyahu's leadership is making progress toward peace very difficult. He may succeed in eliminating most of Hamas's leadership, and we both agree that...

We are all familiar with atrocities of the past. Is it time to think differently?; to force a change in Israeli policy, the same way integration was forced on the American South. Without a change in direction, Israel will continue down the same road. It is not the road that leads to Israeli...

Rat Poison!!! Hahhaha

When I checked the TOS simulator years ago it was filling buys on the BID and sells on the ASK. I was rich in no time! After that, I didn't want to be a trader. I wanted to be a Market Maker.

Wonderful!!! That's one in a row! Your on a roll! Your measly 4881$ will grow to $4,998,144 by the end of the 10th week. Just remember by the end of each week to double the amount you had at the start of the week. Congratulations!!!

You've got a great sense of humor. What's not to like about that.

Air raid sirens begin sounding in Jerusalem around 6:30 a.m. local time, warning citizens of the attack in progress and to immediately take cover. An estimated 2,200 rockets were fired toward southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, by the Hamas militants, according to the...

Your post has tremendous appeal; it sounds so reasonable, so wise. Sadly, though it sounds reasonable, it's not wise. If only complicated things could be made so simple, so clear. You've nicely packaged together conflicts far away as conflicts we should avoid, as if to say we should see them...

We seem to be in one of those phases where a lot of prominent people are going to be going to jail. SBF is just the first of what looks like it will be a long list. The last time I saw this was when a whole buch of people from the West Wing of the White House plus a lot more were all on their...

No, we all agree, you're not saying that. But you are doing something very bad. By posting the crap you did you have shown you are part of the conspiracy to steal the next election. But America is tired of this crap. It is all part of the same boring nonsense and a continuation of trump claiming...

WE will all see a lot of this nonsense in coming months. This is part of a concerted effort to get U.S citizens to think it is easy to rig elections so when Trump loses in 2024 his claims of election fraud will ring true in peoples minds. Trump is a criminal. He is on his way to jail. He'll be...

Maybe more management's bad decisions than unions, Mr. Turtle... I recall, in the 1950s, when every year VW beatle sales were increasing dramatically and the major U.S. Car company's were telling us what we want. "We Americans don't want little cars! We want BIG cars" with gold flecked, clear...

I'm not suggesting, Turtle, that we are in a wage price spiral, I simply used that as an example of how wages can very clearly affect inflation. My original post had to do with the Fed's targeting 2% inflation causing compensating upward pressure on incomes, which includes wages and salaries...

While I not sure what your point was in your post immediately above, to say that wages have nothing to do with the value of the dollar may not be quite correct in some circumstances. Have you heard of "the wage price spiral" economists talk about. When prices "spiral" upward to counter too...

I disagree. You're not reading what I wrote. With respect to wages or incomes in general. It is the Real wages that count and real wages do track to a fair extent, although over time a gap tends to develop, the Fed's targeted inflation rate. Or said so that even a child could understand, if...
