Please explain how you have come to this conclusion.

This really is not my conclusion. I'm not nearly that smart as you well know. But here goes:

Many electronic currency models born out of supercomputing already show this is very doable. Still a theory, which is fine, but now I'm seeing more stuff about the practicalities of how the quirks in a hybrid cash/electronic system can be managed so it reminds me a lot of that moment where models about blockchain currencies suddenly became reality and how that moved very quickly from there. I don't expect this to move that fast, but it is something to watch.

How?

To far oversimplify a lot of very beautiful equations: "monetary" policy in an ideal electronic currency system would be freed to use its full quantitative forecasting power to right-size the amount of "money" in the system in real time. Need a small influx of "money" here or there, you don't rev up the actual money printers and flood the banks with trillions in currency (that's insane frankly) that then depreciates the money the bank already had and inflates the amount of that currency needed to buy real world stuff. You give the economy the money it needs, no more, no less. If the zero bound is broken, it is resolved in milliseconds in this system instead of having people lose their life savings and jump out of windows.

Still sounds like the federal reserve system.

30% over the last 3 years in construction supply.
I’m sure it’s a similar situation for all industries but I have not checked.

Saying that inflation is under control now is like pissing on my shoes this morning and bragging that nobody is pissing on my shoes this afternoon.

Covid shot construction prices up, once they got there, greed kept them there

Goalpost moving alert.

I simply posted about a school evacuation in Springfield. A verifiable fact. You're still looking for the dog and cat carcasses roasting over an open fire.

I'm asking. A light was beamed down on the problem of Springfield. Then all these "threats" so the usual puppets can post about it, like you.

So you're telling me two threats in two days and nobody has been caught yet? Whats that tell you??

I didn't watch the debate but have become aware through this site and other social media posts about a claim of migrants eating cats and other animals in Ohio.

Do I started to do some research and found every major network dismissing it as false. So I kept digging and kept searching with no results really sitting that claim...... And then it occurred to me, why was I continuing to look into it?

The reason I distrust media sources and look to confirm through other sources and weigh slants is because I don't trust the media. FOX other right leaning sources Shill for Republicans. And CNN and the the traditional three letters Shill for Democrats.

Journalism is Dead in this country. And you simply can't trust them.

Another case in point was an article I read about the debate, it fact checked both candidates, sometime that apparently wasn't done during the debate.

You and I both know Trump has no prayer of getting fair moderation (he may not deserve it) or pulling off anything resembling discipline. lol.

Look, as much as I loathe the man, he's not stupid. He's just too used to getting immediate gratification of his ego by landing what he thinks are zingers to see the forest for the trees. If he could be convinced that he's better off standing there and feeling a bit attacked and not respond every time, but instead that an hour later people would be singing his praises for that brief restraint, he could get somewhere.

It's so crazy to think about Trump coming unglued contrasted against Reagan looking at Carter with a grin and saying "There you go again..."

If Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum of Fox News are too tough for him .... then his thin-skinned nature is the problem, not the moderation.

LOL, I call 'em like I see them. Why are you liberal leftist so embarrassed to be called what you are? Maybe you should take your own advice and STFU.

Like you see them? That's through a narrow and binary lens that directs you to come down on the same side of every issue. Living in right wing echo chambers will do that to you. Hang in there

Bull ****.
Gotta love when people like this guy talks out of his ass on something he knows nothing about to someone who this every day for a living.
Covid did shoot construction prices up but they returned to normal. in construction we watch OSB as an indicator as to what is happening. OSB was 7$ before Covid. It made it all the way to 60$ during covid. It returned to 8$ but has climbed back to were it is today. 15.65$.
You may not like it but the last 3 years have been brutal on the poor as everything is 30%- 40% higher than it was 3 years ago. Nobody is making 30-40% higher income to offset that so it’s just another form of tax your government has saddled the people with

Lol, there's a lot of true Independents on this board that hate Trump. You're not one of them. I ask again, why are you so ashamed of being a liberal. Own it. Come out of the closet. It will be liberating.

There are a lot far far leftists on here who try to claim to be in the middle or libertarian. It's pretty weird.

🤭 There are a lot of true conservatives that dislike Trump. I'm not ashamed of having liberal stances on some issues nor am I ashamed of having conservative stances on other issues. That seems to beyond your level of comprehension on the matter. That you confined your take to this board speaks volumes. You probably think the WSJ is liberal

No, it's not greed. It's wage shock in literally every step of the supply chain...

That'd what happens paying people 40K a year not to work...

Not to mention printing 80B out of thin air to give Ukraine and no telling how much to the estimated 20M illegal immigrants that were supplied a smartphone, housing, healthcare, EBT card and whatever else they get.

The cackling c*nt backed out of that one. She needs all the help she can get. When will she take real questions from real reporters?

There has never been a scheduled debate on Fox News to back out of.

Trump said yesterday that he would not participate in a debate on Fox News with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. He said that he would only agree to do it, if the moderators were Sean Hannity and Jesse Watters.

.... and you need to grow up. That language doesn't effectively serve whatever point you are trying to make.
