it's why i don't agree with the orthodox assumption that inflation is bad since lenders are often small retirement savers and borrowers are often financiers.

there was some fairly serious discussion among macro types that the federal reserve should've been targeting 4% inflation rather than 2%, particularly in light of the anemic recovery in 2010-11

a shame it didn't go anywhere because it made a lot of sense to me

Right so they'll just poke and prod the DPRK and conduct a bunch of posturing drills with the navy nearby until some minor incident happens that can be spun into justification ala Gulf of Tonkin or the USS Maine

Ppl in This thread justifying why they have no money, capitalism and systematic abuses not required

You've been piled on enough but to address any lurkers agreeing with you:

Assigning responsibility to past choices is trivial and tautological. Existence is proof that you chose, at every opportunity, to not kill yourself. The question is not "Are people responsible for their circumstances" but "Can I inflict suffering or violently confiscate resources from someone, but escape backlash by convincing everyone else I'm not a dangerous rear end in a top hat but am in fact doing a just thing"

And the answer to that question is: if you're thinking real hard about that question you need to step back and should be kept far, far away from any position of prominence or consequence

so what are safe jobs to have during a depression? I’m guessing there is always a market for police/firemen/the military (although a few will probably lose their jobs). Some people will have babies and vaginas so I’m guessing OB/Gyns are safe too... anything else?
