i also have a lot of screen time, no eye strain, my advice is: avoid white backgrounds (try at least offwhite, or greyish, black etc.), and more importantly, the source of light in your room/office, never put it behind you. your pupils will get bigger, yet take in more light from the reflections.

pffff, this is a lame comment, (sorry, it's not a personal attack). why would being confident in a system be an edge? especially if it's losing money? dude, develop something, see that the results and logic/common sense are profitable, then have confidence, if one or two are absent, drop the...

Liffe is not in the business of keeping a certain class of traders alive. It´s the naturals (liquidity taking banks, insurance companies, etc. not the traders) who are liffe´s primary customers. As long as they don´t complain..

Only thing I can say is: You are not being very nice here. Get out of my way.

In a strict factual literal sense, yes, the doctors are productive, they produce healing services. what i want to say is that, wouldn´t it be nicer if those doctors would be able to do something else? if the people who are now paying for the healing services, would be healthier to begin with...

And since many of you guys love to make arguments based on empirical evidence (edit, before my words get used against me, i meant statistics/figures, not "empirical evidence"): Make a correlation chart of the economies that are more open to imports, and those that are against it. Remember North...

I guess you and me are the difference between factual and literal thinking, in contrast to logical, conceptual thought. There is more beyond those figures you copy pasted above. Like higher healthcare spending is a good thing ??? Yes, very productive all these doctors patching up burnt out...

Thanks pal, I hope you are not one of those persons who believe that closing up the economy from import and giving people 4 day workweeks will solve unemployment and/or low wages.

Don´t understand what you mean by the first comment. Second comment is nit-picking, making it black and white here, so it´s easier to understand. just imagine hypothetically ;-)

I don´t think so.. when the horse-carriage industry failed in the early 1900´s, the new jobs in the car plants payed more i am sure of that. Or the new jobs at Yahoo in respect to job losses at the Post.

Officialy I hereby concede, you won! Your last argument is impossible to counter LOL! "Ok...so by that reasoning it is impossible for GDP to drop. I mean there is no way it can drop here or anywhere in the world, because if people stop spending money on one thing, they will spend it on...

(edit) Yes, if we take financing into the equation, it will take some years. Yes, *postal* jobs have been permanently lost. But other jobs will replace those. It´s not that now post has become obsolete, the jobless rate will jump x% permanently, or GDP will fall x% permanently. I still...

Regarding B): Car payments are temporary, I don´t know of any permanent ones. I am talking about long term conditions, not short term. Where the saved money is coming from? They don´t have to pay for cars anymore, so they have more disposable income. A) You could work less and get payed...

External debt. That means that somebody external invested (deferred spending) in the US. So the dollars came back home afterall. And I didn´t know money had a lifespan.

No problem. "... they will want to give it to the 5% unemployed as well, but want something back from them. This is when demand from the 95% employed, and supply from the 5% unemployed come together." By these phrases I didn´t mean giving as wellfare. I meant, these 95% of people have 2...

That´s another argument, outside of my hypotesis. But I´ll think about it.

If you are saying that US$ tend to "dissapear" on a regular basis, the FED can just print some new ones without adding any inflation. Solved.

"Now if i can only spend 95% of what i used to spend, and everyone else is the same, there is ANOTHER 5% drop in GDP and you can see how it actually snowballs if there is no new job growth anywhere." Multiplier effect, this is only temporary. True economic performance depends on productivity...

Ps. Mind you that we just saw economic growth in this scenario. Before we had expensive domestic goods and no money saved to be put to use for new things! Now we have cheaper imported goods, and money saved for extra consumption!

Yes. Long term/permanent economic growth (wellfare) has to be driven by productivity growth (levels).
