True, he doesn't even mention what the pilots say they saw, what is curious for the case that he is discussing. I don't blame him for his anti-alien position, but his "there is nothing weird here" position is kind of uns

I have this feeling too, not so much about the pilots testimony, as about the way the videos came to light. If I put my conspiracy theorist hat, this "To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science" smells to me to a "Intelligenc

I watched some interview with some congressman saying that the aliens explanation is not so bad, the problem is if they are Chinese or Russian. I don't know if laughing or crying about that statement and what it says about humans.

There is radar data from the ships too. The reason they send the jets there in the first place is because they can't explain the radar data. So, we have radar data, a video and the testimony of several professionals. We don't hav

Not really, what you have is videos and testimonies of surprising things, not of aliens. "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...&#x27

You should check the interviews (there are several, including a 60 minutes) with the pilot David Fravor (1). There are two pilots and two wizards that saw the same with their own eyes (even I have only see the other pilot confirming it). Th

MMT is not unimplementable because it's already how it works. In its major part it's a description not a policy. So, with MMT already working all these past years, inflation have been below the desire target. The poster child of M

There is not mechanism by what issuing public debt will reduce inflationary risks, in fact the opposite could be true. There is a suspicion in MMT that issuing bonds and high interest rates could be actually inflationary because the interes

by RobertoG 5y ago
If MMT is not wrong (and it's not), it means that the government can spend all that it choose in its own currency with the only limit of inflation. This means, that the size of public deficit is important because it can be inflationary

It seems that you are implying that "Modern Monetary Theory" has been adopted, if that's the case, you are totally missing the point. MMT it's a description (a theory that can be validated) of how the system works, not a
