Bankruptcy is actually the way to reduce debt without destroying the matching money (but may have knock on effects on further lending and related money creation). Inflation is less clear cut and comes in many forms, assets, import costs, wa

One is about telling other people how they should behave and possibly making them uncomfortable it they have had an abortion, the other is acknowledging the existence of people and their freedom to be who they are. This is a pretty fundamen

Firstly there are two ways that money is printed. 1) Government/central bank spend more than they take in taxes. 2) Private banks make loans to private sector (biz or individuals). Money is destroyed by government running a surplus or

Uber seems to be a slightly special case in terms of how blatant discrimination seems to be and the explicitly deceitful and in the obviously abusive responses from HR but the general problems of harassment and discrimination are not unique

If that isn't what you believe you aren't clearly expressing what you do believe and what responsibilities people, particularly senior people do have. Most who come forward aren't asking for sympathy but reporting what has ha

There are huge professional and personal costs to suing. She has done more by most to protect others by going public. Isn't her job to fix Uber via lawsuit.

But he lies so much and makes so many factual errors how can you trust him on anything? His pro-torture position seems to show disregard of the 8th amendment is he really going to protect the others and is the 2A that much more important to

I'd forgotten that Symantec had acquired Verisign at some point and they are huge certificate supplier. I was planning to untrust Symantec but not sure that is feasible for the Verisign certs too.
