The rich buy stuff after they become rich. Most entrepreneurs that make it live almost like a college student barely able to afford anything; they are hoping to trade current spending for future spending. And I'm talking about restau

Well, if what you ask is a tautology the answer is almost obvious. Almost.

No, I got it, as sophisticated as it was. But my analogy is this: A law against fraud is like a law against mugging, you cannot commit fraud and you cannot mug. Both pretty clear and reasonable. But a law against trading because you might

Don't be silly, that would be foolish! In fact, perhaps a law that prohibits you to get mugged in the first place is in order.

No, but we also shouldn't imply the main reason accidents occurred before was because there were no speed limits.

It was an analogy. Really going out of your way to create drama where none exists.

Which high taxes are part of. Raising taxes is an admission that current tax policy, and the other side of the coin, the government spending policy, are awfully designed. Of course there has never been a competent design since taxes always

There is that of course. That is also the reason why they leave and take their money with them.

My opinion is that students not on classrooms are much less prepared to deal with those, according to you, non "well-socialized" students from traditional schools.

How to teach anything? You teach first to learn. In my opinion learning is not an obvious thing, it is not obvious why things need to be presented as problems for example, and many students rebel against them as it leads to an empty feeli

Exactly, you be better. The most important person you need to change is yourself.

This is the issue. It is not to stop complaining. "Toughen up" means do something about, it means complaining solves nothing. Which is why our problems now are so much bigger, since our complaining became so much louder.

The thing is if you are the victim, it is because you are personally the victim. The moment a whole category of people become victims just by definition, or for acts committed even before they were born the word loses all meaning.

I am not arguing with you about the utility of each definition, I'm just pointing out the difference in use and why you keep talking past each other.

That is only because what you are interested in IS price increases. If what you are interested in is money supply, and you call that inflation, then it doesn't matter what you do with the money, you can store it, you can burn it, you

Difficult to say as they are not 'actually' printing money tho they call it that, they are just creating bank reserves and since they are not used as money they don't generate inflation, not as measured by the cpi anyways.

by insert_coin 5y ago
Inflation can be increases in prices, and it is used in this way by most modern economists, except hard money economists to whom inflation is by definition the increase in money supply irrespective of prices. In this sense, inflation is wha

There’s always powerful institutions involved in money, and yet countries fail. There’s always corporate money and politicians tied up in huge contracts for resources, for imports, for exports, etc., and yet wars happen. Bad times makes thi

But, they haven’t stopped printing have they? Turkey will print money until they collapse, or other countries step in and “help them”. Bitcoin will not prevent that. Venezuela has never printed more.

This is the equivalent of gold confiscation. But because the government doesn’t really care about confiscating your bitcoins, they can just “force” exchanges to fail and “destroy” their monetary value for their citizens that way. If you thi
