Wasabi the J posted:Yes the paid spox going to Palm Beach is definitely saying "how it works" and not astroturfing the poo poo out of the "evil fed" narrative the handful of actual billionaires living in palm beach have been pushing for more than a few years. i don’t know anything about palm beach but I can assure you that the president of the Kansas City Fed is not colluding with anyone, let alone palm beach billionaires, to undermine the image or authority of the Fed. psydude posted:I'm not trying to be mean or condescending, but what you've just described is like the exact reason why central banks raise interest rates to combat inflation. It's a doctrine that's as old as the concept of central banks and is taught to any student taking introductory macroeconomics. So it's not something new that Powell is experimenting with. It’s a little more modern than that. The current tweak-rates-to-control-inflation regime dates mostly to Paul Voelker in the 1980s. Before that the policy tended more to raising employment, which almost certainly caused, or contributed to, stagflation. lightpole posted:Yes, this is doctrine from a macro perspective and a good thing. A moderate drop in employment is much better than high levels of inflation. Its not "bleed the poor dry". Great thread linked from Adam Tooze’s substack today about the politics of inflation. https://twitter.com/leee_harris/status/1587599367392870401

Maybe I'm way the gently caress out of the box here, but I feel that 600k houses are a bigger problem than 15% interest rates.

The Fed is full of technocrats, 100% nerds. They are idiots when it comes to the real world and real people and frequently say stupid things because of it. I'm not putting any effort into interpreting their statement because of this.

Just a reminder that inflation isn't real and is just companies cranking the prices to 11 and then crying because for the first time in decades real wage growth started to occur and it was eating into the bottom line. This is entirely a manufactured crisis and we're going to let a bunch of unelected shitheads destroy the livelihood of millions.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:My dude, what are you smoking? I think Proud Christian Mom has a bit of a point. It's not that inflation isn't real in terms of our cost of living increasing, it's that the inflation isn't driven by some force of nature that can be prayed away by the high priests of The Economy. We're all supposed to agree that the inflation on our bacon and laundry soap is all "supply chain" and Federal Reserve instruments, but all the big corporate overlords PG, JNJ, unilever, whatever et al are hauling in obscene record profits quarter after quarter. Like, oh if we adjust this interest rate, then eventually housing does this and unemployment will probably do this and so on. That is all an unnecessary layer of abstraction. Your grocery or household consumables cost you a whole lot more than they did three years ago. A good bit of that was the cost of oil going up, ok, sure, but most of it was just because they're just charging more and taking more profit and telling you a bogeyman named "inflation" took it

Perfect fodder for the unscrupulous to test the new free speech allowances on Twitter and push some dumbass rumor that this was perpetrated by some kind of stop the steal crazy since the mail truck would've been full of mail in ballots.

I'm guessing that if people being "pink-misted (sic!)" in high-def across every platform is socially acceptable (despite it still being a breach of ToS, depending on the platform), you get desensitized to what is "wrong" to post. Hence my request at the beginning of the November thread. It wasn't an appeal to mods to make a rule about it, because those rules already exist and - especially in GiP, can't speak for other forums - are lived by, it was more an appeal to "our humanity" or some other dumb sentimental poo poo, idk how to phrase it, I'm not good with gravitas. /edit: Now that I've caught up to the other threads, I had no idea about the QCS discussion that happened over night, I had no intention to bring that topic up again Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Nov 3, 2022 |

I get professional and personal enjoyment from watching Russian tanks explode so that’ll just have to be a discussion between me and Jesus when the time comes. Anyone pushing to share gore stuff for the sake of gore stuff here was suffering from a severe failure to take a hint, though. You can hang out on Reddit if that’s what you’re interested in.

I enjoy watching russian tanks and artillery and aircraft getting dunk on, too, but I'm not linking any of that poo poo here. I don't make it a substantial part of my day, though, and stick to youtube aggregators like Warthog Defense or TEW22, and they're somewhat okay about blurring bodies. Might take in 10 minutes a day. Duzzy, you're getting legal weed, what's the gossip like over it in Germany?

When you're mainlining war porn, right/left wing trolls, and all the other poo poo on Twitter it will gently caress with your head. Edit: I don't think it is specifically "nafo", but just what happens when your brain is constantly being hit with all the chemicals that social media hooks one with.
