> I just don't agree that severing professional ties over political disputes is admirable. Never? If you worked for an employer that seated black people in the back in the 1960s, it wouldn't be admirable to quit?

Your source does not say that QE was deflationary in Japan - just that in the context of a real economic shock to Japan's economy, the central bank's stance was contractionary. Indeed, they argue that more QE would have combatted

It doesn't hold because people get the money via loans at low interest rates and then spend more. Fed policy has a clear impact on AD.

by MiroF 6y ago
Your claim that Fed policy somehow doesn't have an impact on aggregate demand because it goes "to the wealthiest banks and corporations" is laughable for anyone with an elementary understanding of economics. We're not se

That's just.. not what inflation is.

I isolated two. One is that overall inflation does not make price discovery problematic, because price discovery is a mechanism based on the relative pricing between things. Two is that inflation is projected to dip below historical level

Apologies - you're both right about the context and about the pricing.

Depends on the size of the various positions. If a bunch of new (and naive) investors enter the market with irrationally bullish positions, institutional investors will short and profit off of the fundamentals. Bad positions are just an opp

There are so many issues with this comment, it's hard to pin point any exact one. You're right that it's idiotic to describe QE as "deflationary" (don't know where they go that idea) but QE is neither inflation

None of these people have a solid grasp of macro, it's really no use arguing.

This is just not how the stock market works. "More investors" doesn't trigger price increases.

by MiroF 6y ago
The Fed targets inflation and can do so pretty precisely - massive amounts of QE are in order to combat deflationary pressure in the economy right now.

by MiroF 6y ago
This is entirely unresponsive to the parent and really only further demonstrates the point that deflationary pressure is the real risk here, not absurd claims of "hyperinflation."

Sorry I'm confused. Was it not the GP that referred to people on Section 8 as having "things come easy" to them? That seems like a clear failure of empathy and I fail to see how it was "debunked."

Most commentators here are the "rich people" in the scheme of American wealth inequality. Sure, not the tippy tippy top but members of the relatively affluent professional class.

Because it's an observational study? It wasn't an experiment. They couldn't make it randomizes. This is often the first stage before an RCT. Don't see what's confusing about this.

Don't really have a stake in this either way, but presumably to determine the "longest-serving programmer", it is a bit of a competition, no? Definitely the comment was mean-spirited, but the core - which is that if we are tr

This is just blatantly false misinformation. To anyone reading this, just a simple google of antibody tests will show you how false this is. Flagged.
