Under certain Keynesian views, Fed policy is mostly irrelevant, and only fiscal policy matters. Or actual printing... which low rates and QE are very different from. Another view from the neoclassical school has a similar conclusion dubbed

So you and I can run a full node for the Central Bank of Nigeria's blockchain? No, it is obviously a private database because not even Nigeria has judgment that poor.

Every reputable organization that rolled out a pilot project did nothing afterwards. There is no plan to actually use a blockchain for anything beyond speculation, money laundering, criminality, and scams.

No central bank digital currency is planning to use a blockchain. A blockchain would add fundamental insurmountable drawbacks. Digital money using databases has been around since before the internet. Central bank digital currency is just a

The improvements outside the processor matter more for a typical user. DDR5, PCIe5, USB4, Bluetooth 5.2, WiFi 6E, etc. These recent version bumps make everything feel faster, but the CPU gains are indeed coming much slower and at vastly hig

You are right. This package is simultaneously ineffective and of a trivial size compared to the US housing market. The primary result, as per usual, is to shift taxpayer dollars towards landowners and mortgage lenders. The primary way to ac

I was not clear enough, apologies. Naturalness is not the reason that things should be owned in common. Rather, the reason that land ought to belong equally to all is because unchecked exclusive ownership reduces the freedom of non-landowne

The logic of LVT isn't to force all of the factors of production to their highest and best use. It is to share the value of the Earth, which no human created, and thus georgists believe it should be shared equally. That this particular

Food in general is a poison that is slowly killing you via the byproducts of metabolism. Meat that is raw puts you at great risk for food-borne illness. Meat that is cooked is full of carcinogens and advanced glycation end products. Almost

The colloquial use of the term 'landlord' equivocates between the role of property manager and the role of titleholder. The latter is the only one that really deserves the feudal term. Property managers do indeed earn their living

The Fed can't monetize the debt unless there is debt to monetize. The checks all came from Congress. But there was simultaneous easy money policy for years, in contradiction to the Taylor Rule. This deviation from that rule was going o

All this sounds cool, but just because the fuel is abundant and the reaction somewhat free of emissions, that doesn't mean it is economical. Fission is simpler and mature, and even though the fuel is not as abundant, it is still plenty
