Mr Hootington posted:Kayfabe is kayfabe until the line breaks and the wrestler falls 25 feet So what you are saying is the market will rise to ever soaring heights. Until it looks down and sees that it is standing way past the edge of the cliff with no clothes on. That day we get to see how big of a crater the DOW makes. But only if the market is dumb enough to look down. Good thing trading algorithms can be trained to always look up.

The thing is that I'm not sure a default would be bad for markets over all but the shortest terms. It'd be bad for everyone else, sure, but self-inflicted economic devastation would be a great excuse to resume ZIRP.

SpaceCadetBob posted:true enough, but there is already movement towards mixing sodium-ion battery cells in with lithium cells to make hybrid battery packs. The problem is sodium ion batteries are just nearly as efficient in terms of weight and the powerful/heavier a car comes then range is going to be seriously compromised and probably not really attractive to most people. Also, sodium ion batteries are much safer but that obviously isn’t great if you are still using lithium ion batteries.

Ardennes posted:Even then the Soviets may have given us a run for our money if a couple things worked out. Ultimately, over time we just over spent them because even if they could build a space shuttle (and they did, one that could be remotely piloted) then simply couldn't continue forever with the pressure they were under.

"Bad for everyone else" is just not something that ever enters the equation for anyone in a position to make decisions.

Bar Ran Dun posted:I mean the meager unemployment expansion and pandemic aid folks did get was society changing. imagine if that ppp money had gone to actual people and not lovely business grifters. I wonder if there've been any studies that showed the relative & respective impacts of various pandemic aid like expanded u/e comp or no-questions-asked medicaid.

skooma512 posted:Geopolitical concerns and the failure of the business plot are why the US went for the allies. France and the UK were in our bloc and there was no getting around that, and there were Nazi sympathizers here. The US happily took up the mantle of anticommunism from Nazi German though. We gonna show the world what real Nazis look like.
