Had to google that splotch in the Alaskan interior.

Fairbanks and the general area, apparently. Old gold mining town, now also supports a military emplacement. An entire 100k people in the metropolitan area, second largest in Alaska!

Edit: Attorney at Funk has the right idea. Plonk another, spiteful historical site next to it.

Debt jubilees coupled with deflation could be good for the economy.

Yeah, and so would manna falling from heaven, but it's a nonstarter. The companies holding the debt utilize it as an asset and a form of income, and they have a lot more lobbying power.

The other issue with deflation is that it makes the rich richer - their reserves of wealth let them buy even more stuff.

jubilees are from the Bible, why dont fundies love it and want to impliment it?*

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- A woman accused of placing a Confederate flag on a black co-worker's desk has pleaded guilty to lying to a federal officer.

U.S. Attorney A. Lee Bentley said Tuesday that 58-year-old Susan Thompson faces a possible five-year prison sentence.

Prosecutors say Thompson, who is white, placed an image of the flag on the desk of a co-worker with whom she'd had a contentious relationship at their Jacksonville office for the Army Corps of Engineers. That was in June, one week after nine people were killed at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina. Dylann Roof, a white man who posed with the flag for photos, is charged.

Prosecutors say that during interviews over the Jacksonville incident, Thompson lied to investigators twice.

Thompson later resigned and has admitted to placing the flag. She denied it was racially motivated.

Remember kids, don't lie to federal agents about whether or not you put a Confederate flag on your black coworker's desk.

It's always hilarious when neo-confederates whine about the march to the sea but have never heard of the million times more destructive sweep through South Carolina.

The crazy thing is I'm almost positive there's no charge she can get for 'being a racist idiot' so she basically upgraded 'getting in trouble at work' to 'actual federal crime' which is fantastic.

If there was a ton of money in bogus physics like there is in bogus economics you bet your ads there'd be just as many charlatan physicists.

It's also very difficult to conduct experiments in economics; no matter how similar two situations are there will be important differences between them.

It is pretty easy to discern the bad economists though. They made horribly wrong predictions (like hyperinflation!) and have never accounted for them.

However economics has made important strides - and if you don't believe that read up on how unstable economies were in the nineteenth century.

Somehow I doubt deeply diving into the substance of Israel Palestine dispute would cause him to double down on Israel. It's probably a recognition that anyone doing differently wouldn't get within sniffing distance of the nomination.

Trying to think of the best way to word this .... I think there is some disagreement here between causation and correlation.

Human beings respond more to personal stories than statistics, and more to a person talking directly to us than to something read in the third person. Hillary and Bernie are human beings ... They are also memes and symbols but underneath the burdens of our expectations they are people.

Until Bernie got within "sniffing distance" of having any importance to this issue there was no reason for people to lobby him on it or care what he thought. Now he's on the radar so he is being targeted for outreach in a way he wasn't before. Part of this, yes, is going to be demands that he kiss rings for political support. But part of it also is going to be a bunch of people from all walks of life grabbing on his heart strings and pulling as hard as they can. Unless he is heartless, this will have an effect.

Being in a position of power and having people begging you for help is completely different than being in the peanut gallery. Would all of your political stances remain intact if you were in a position to act on them and had to look the people harmed by them in the eye?

Poor people are a statistic and that is why poverty is entirely tolerable in the context of western civilizations.
