The US can't just withhold payments and wait for inflation to run its course. The debt is largely in government bonds and other debt securities. Payments have to be made on the debt securities when they are obligated to be due.

There have been plenty of these retroactive reviews of the 1990s tech boom that have questioned whether it was a bubble, by changing the definitions that everyone else uses to define valuation ratios and bubbles. I've heard it argued t

This is what makes the US economy interesting, in that despite being a leading producer of oil, unlike other large producers of oil, it does not come close to being reliant on the industry. In comparison, almost all other large producers of

I think it's the other way around, in that people don't like to hear how Reddit has become important due to the death of independent forums and the degree to which information has become concentrated on the site.

Maintaining any level of vigilance is still more exhausting than maintaining none at all, even if at some personal level you believe it shouldn't be hard to do.

That's not helpful, because it's far from being true. The US mining sector, which includes oil and gas, is less than 2% of the US economy. https://www.statista.com/statistics/248004/percentage-added-...

Subways can be non-rail, as seen with the Montreal subway, but subways are usually a type of rail transit. Also, once you read the article, you'll see that the author is referring to subways.

A transplant isn't any more a hat than having natural untransplanted hair is like wearing a hat. A hair piece could be argued to be something akin to a pricey hat, but a transplant is naturally growing hair that has simply been moved

What you are describing might intuitively sound like what a negative income tax should mean, had you never heard of a negative income tax before, but that is not what a negative income tax is. A negative income tax, which is a name for a t

Benefits do not increase with income in a negative income tax system. I'm not sure where you got that idea from. The point of a negative income tax system is to allow total income, from the combination of work and benefits, to increas

I wasn't describing anything. A negative income tax is approximately what the guy I replied to was describing. It obviously wasn't a perfect description, but I didn't think my label of the description in his comment would b

I wouldn't be surprised if they would have been on board for most of the Biden era economic policies. I think it may have just been the possible industry repercussions from the coming 2025 tax plan that made A&H anxious, given th

I agree that it is largely an urban issue, but it is a serious issue, which likely exists in large part due to the greater density of urban homeless populations and drug related crime. Solving these problems is arguably far less trivial th

That might be ideal, but we don't live in an ideal world. The public government isn't providing this in nearly any large US city. A few that have tried have ended their attempts due to the cost. CTA provided restrooms at the sta

It's a proposed alternative to having no option at all. Restrooms are too expensive to maintain and prone to misuse to justify maintaining free options, which is why public restrooms have become virtually non-existent in US cities, fo
