It is good for the developing world, as producers/exporters subsidize countries with reserve currencies. That's why inflation in countries with reserve currencies is always a way lower than other counties. MMT claims that one can

What a great deal for the investors with connections to the local political 'mafia'. If profit is 70% after taking away expenses, that is about $140M. $140M * 7 = $980 (7 multiples). Where can one find such a profitable business

Well, two conceptions of human beings are in conflict: (a) humans are controlled by their own "will" (b) signaling system (biochemical interactions) control stuff. (a) is a cultural intuition. Now many life sciences researchers se

Apple is giving verbal notices for not complying 3 days RTO, I heard on blind. Here, HR is forcing the attrition: either come 3 days to office or quit.
