I have never posted in GBS except when I wanted to stalk and destroy My Imaginary Girlfriend and his post history had some GBS so I went there with the goal of hurting him, but otherwise I don't think I ever have.

Woolie Wool posted:The problem is we sold everything we could use for that purpose to reap the wages of whiteness, which were denied to European immigrants who did not disown their original selves (see Teddy Roosevelt ranting about "hyphenated Americans", that sort of sentiment was directed primarily at "white ethnics" who did not conform to the Anglos' satisfaction). This process was often only partial for Southern European immigrants and Jews are pretty much excepted altogether (the fact that Jews continue to experience ethnic discrimination is not coincidental), but for Northern Europeans the process is pretty much complete. also, i feel that whiteness has as much to do with not being ethnic as much as it has to do with skin color. basically, the ideal white person in america is a monolingual english-speaking wasp, which is why my arab, turkish, persian, and armenian friends can all go 'yeah, i'm not white' and no one really questions it. also, while we're on the topic, i've always thought that the idea that white as an identity will grow to encompass hispanics and asians is bullshit. maybe white hispanics and mixed-race east asians, but the rest of us are too culturally not-wasp to do the assimilation thing any time in the next century.

Cool Bear posted:I wasn't saying they should do it now... I was asking how such a policy choice would manifest itself so that I could hopefully derail the discussion away from my extreme obsession with hardcore anime porn. quote:When I said that decreasing interest rates on loans will not affect businesses due to the fact that businesses and banks have high cash reserves, that was absolutely correct and you are incorrect. When a business wants to take out a loan, it needs to look at the rate of return it can get from either taking out a loan from a bank, or spending that money on itself to get a return from its own decisions and work. It will look at how much cash it has on hand, just sitting there in a reserve, and make a decision about risk. If it has a ton of pure liquid cash sitting there because of how GOOD the economy is doing for the wealthy right now, then it does not NEED a low interest LOAN from any bank. quote:From whgat I understand, QE is in fact, the central bank purchasing something somehow similar to a treasury bond, and if you want to make a vocab distinction, you are almost certainly correct. What I think I know is that the government is purchasing debt that they owe from people who were trying to loan them money. Basically they are paying off the loans early, and allowing the institutions to reinvest that cash in new liquid assets which may or may not be the same exact government debt that they were already invested in. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG. QE is an injection of capital through purchasing assets, sometimes T Bills, yes, but also others like mortgage backed securities. It's not a loan to the government, the Fed and Treasury are distinct, its an expansion of the money supply quote:All banks loan from the fed... in theory and in theory they all care what the fed rate is, because they borrow money from the fed. If the banks don't give a poo poo what the interest rate is on a loan from the fed, well then the fed has even less power than we thought it does. (It has very little power, much less than it should)

though i read an interesting op/ed in the NYT a few weeks ago from a chinese-canadian man married to an irish-american, with whom he has two young kids; he says that his wife basically "doesn't really feel white anymore" even though she's blonde, has blue eyes, because their kids are really visibly mixed

Jagchosis posted:Budget deficits are actually good because Treasury bonds to finance them are cash equivalents and an important source of short term financing. The ratio of debt to GDP is more relevant but deficits not existing would be bad for the economy. OH YEAH?!?! GUESS WHAT!!! ZIMBABWE!!!!!! Zimbabwe experienced the most mathematically significant hyperinflation in all of history in only the past few years. This appeared on all the local news stations. Sample Problem 1. Determine the rate of return necessary in order to be reasonably competitive among the cash equivalent money market funds in Zimbabwe in 2005. Sample Problem 2. What is the rate of inflation in any first world country in 2005 vs Zimbabwe. What is the rate of inflation in Germany in 1925 and why? Why do humans exist?

i mean, i know it's huge among, like all 2% of the us population that consists of asian millennials, plus young white girls on the internet, but i don't think it's huge among those groups because of its pleasing aural qualities. which is not to say kpop is bad, but i feel like there are other things going on there, for those groups.

the only kpop I've heard aside from Psy was a couple of acts who made an abortive attempt to break in America back in like 2009 or so and they were both autotuned to hell and had music videos that looked like a fight scene from that ff7 movie.

As for East Asians, they have the double problem of not being able to visibly blend in with Europeans and having original cultures that are vastly more foreign to the WASP norm than anything in Europe. They are frequently not even seen as Americans (New Jersey, you say? But where are you really from  ), let alone as white.
