Making money with money (a.k.a. finance) existed long before fiat currency, you can't get rid of it by going to the gold standard. It would be much more effective to ban speculation in investment markets (calls and puts).

"Pretty much every country" couldn't possibly employ "mmt practice" - a significant number of countries don't have sovereign currencies. That's ignoring the fact that MMT is descriptive rather than prescri

U.S. hegemony has also destroyed and subverted democracies and propped up very illiberal dictatorships. Protecting democracy for white countries only isn't exactly what I think of when I think "world protector of liberal democracy

I've never "seen" anything except the lights streaking, but I sure did spend a lot of time looking at the patterns in carpets and marveling at the beauty of trees.

Nah, the Cato Institute Blog has articles worth reading and, in general, a pragmatic and nuanced take on most issues.

They're leaning left from the perspective of the extreme right. To everyone else, they're just the leftmost portion of the rightist blob.

If the refund is more than I paid in total, I would get a refund if I didn't pay anything at all though.

I'm a normal American and have only once paid more than I've received for federal taxes. Withholding has nothing to do with it.

Do "normal Americans" pay taxes? From the numbers I've seen, ~1/3 - ~1/2 of tax filers receive more money from the government than they pay. To them, "refund season" is a cause for celebration rather than

I'm pretty sure I've even read about FreeBSD code in the Windows networking stack. Is Windows now based on BSD? Open source code, especially when it's permissively licensed, ends up absolutely everywhere.

Not just an eyesore, they also are typed, so any widening or narrowing or using only part of a vector register ends up needing casts so things can get really extremely confusing and cluttered when doing anything beyond basic algebra. With a

Critical thinking is taught in schools though. People in the real world don't, by and large, fall for this shit. The very small fraction that do ends up being a rather large number in absolute terms when spread across the whole world t

Until the past few years $1 was normal here, often less when they went on sale. Also, most eggs in the supermarket are locally grown. Transporting them is a PITA both due to fragility and spoilability.

Chickens will eat grain, but the best eggs (and healthiest chickens) come from lots of protein and green leafy matter. Vermiculture and simple insect attraction methods like maggot buckets, food scraps, and lawn/garden waste can go a l

Can any modern company be said to be of similar size to Bell Labs in it's prime? Bell Labs were only possible due to a monopoly supplying massive amounts of funding for about a century. MS had a few decades of domination in the consu

That sounds to me like some kind of retransmission error - a packet with a keystroke is being sent but the ack is not received so another packet is sent? I know nothing at all about if/how bluetooth actually manages reliability though,

What you can't do on Kobo is use the page up and down buttons to scroll in the web browser unless you go through the effort of installing the cross-compiling toolchain and building a display server and a browser.

Your distinction is probably a better one, but the one I've heard is lockups hold temporarily from hours-days, jails hold prisoners for sentences up to a year, prisons for over a year. People might end up in a jail for much longer, but

E-bikes are unusable at this time of year. It needs to stand stably on it's own to not kill me the instant some ice appears (so, four wheels) and have an enclosed cabin to stop frostbite.
