Fair enough, just wanted to point out that banks originate money as part of the lending process. You could maybe call that "money out of asset purchases" whatever that means and yes its a valid balance sheet operation. I guess you

Very true but also understandable because that's how most households perceive it from their micro-economic standpoint. But its very deceptive because it suffers from a fallacy of composition. If households want to earn more than they s

> Money can’t be created out of nowhere Well, in case of a bank it can. And it happens on a daily basis. In fact thats how most private bank money enters the system in the first place either when a bank makes a loan or when it buys any o

I also feel like this really is one of the biggest pain points when writing single page apps. There is no good standard and everybody is promoting his/her way to do it that works well in a TODO app example but kinda fails in a big prod

I don't like that concept of essentially inlining styles in the class attribute. It is just a misuse of html classes. Class names should be used sparingly and describe the semantics of an element rather than its visual appearance. It s
