i would have you explain your sentence because it describes the concept of "reporting" as making an inference and i am no longer clear about how to interpret the words structurally i tentatively take it to mean that you did the in

In principle, fiscal policy (taxing, spending) can substitute with monetary policy to some extent, and achieve many of the same goals, yes! But you'd be hard-pressed to find an economist who describes either recent or proposed fiscal p

Network firewall virtualization certainly could be built on top of a new microkernel in Rust, such as this one, and it may gain some benefits in correctness — but looking at its site, the datacenter networking space doesn't really se

People are great. Each person has intrinsic dignity and worth. Economic studies on safety and medicine spending and the like show us the demonstrated value of the lived experience of a single person is worth millions. All else being equal

I do like that in this piece they call that out specifically and highlight the magnitude of what it would take to really move the needle on that (spending a double-digit percentage of GDP to actually compensate these women for their opportu

Okay, you've convinced me. Now how about the month after that?

We've had many years of 0% rates and 2%ish inflation. A return to that status quo ante isn't exactly crushingly tight monetary policy. But perhaps inflation will fall before we hit 8%.

Yeah, this isn't just a one-time transient price spike that happened months ago. August fuel prices fell a lot (10.6%), a gift! — but core inflation erased all that progress, with a 0.1% month-to-month rise in the CPI overall. Food&#

… do you have the definition of “real” and “nominal” backwards? Real wages are down. Specifically: prices are up 8.26%, and the raise was more like 5.5% ish. People can afford less rent. People can afford less food. People can afford less f

Eh, we’re not at serious risk of hyperinflation here. We are at risk of regular old plain vanilla inflation, which is adequately obnoxious and harms real wages plenty. As a net debtor, I might see see a 50% fall in the real value of my mort

It’s the same old “personhood” fiction for doing things in groups that’s been around since Dartmouth College vs Woodward, which is over 200 years at this point. Corporations are also entitled to other rights that can be exercised by groups,

You know what, sir? You've convinced me. You're right. There's not any special spite in Europe's motiviations. It's just like that. Its a way of being, and its people are statists who like it being like that. So
