Are you familiar with the elders of zion, which was believed by a huge number of people all over the globe, even though it was totally ridiculous. The average person is not smart, though I may be a tad pessimistic I suppose.

Every country suffers from this, America is just the most rich and therefore visible due to geographic benefits and the Bretton Woods system.

Germany was actively shutting down its nuclear power before Russia attacked, China has a giant property bubble that’s collapsing, the Eurozone is rushing in a CBDC to prop up its failing currency, Canada is doing mass immigration to hide it’s failing business climate. Its the same all over, people love faux economic growth and they love to borrow from the future.

It really wasn’t that bad if not for WiFi drivers. Considering you were comparing it to XP.

Fedora the test bed bleeding edge is stable?

What is the economy and the stock market except a perpetual bubble built on debt, as we lower rates and do QE to encourage people to borrow, in order to derive consumption via the wealth effect created by the cantillon effect?

The last crisis the housing bubble was created because housing was useful as a liquidity sponge, as we can gatekeep an inelastic good behind a wall of debt to create a wealth effect so people consumed more.

This all seems to me by design, inherent in the system, which project 2025 seemed to be fighting against. For instance they want a cap on money creation of something like 3%, which means a lot smaller bubble. Maybe they do want less froth before they flip that switch, assuming it is their plan.

Even JavaScript can infect you.

Assuming your family does online banking and brokerage you then become a jumping off point for malware.

6700k is 64 bit.

Sam Altman hasn’t complained surprisingly, he just said there’s competition and it will be harder for OpenAI to compete with open source. I think their small lead is essentially gone, and their plan is now to suckle Microsoft’s teet.

Its definitely not capitalism. Our system survives by creating economic slaves, for instance the mortgage acts as a gatekeeper in the fiat system, by locking up economic value and an inelastic good in a form that can only be unlocked by completing the payment obligations.  Housing rises in price to max out the metaphorical bucket of whatever interest rates allow for debt accumulation, and property ownership is controlled by one’s ability to secure debt. This ensures that the financial system has a steady stream of obligations that help sustain the flow of currency, which helps drive aggregate demand.

The goal is to create a 2% inflation, as calculated by an index that excludes housing appreciation and investments, you require ever growing money supply.  Money supply is grown via debt accumulation, this then funnels down into foods and services, excluding substitutions and hedonic adjustments, reversing technological deflation, deriving a 2% inflation to a dynamic basket of goods. Housing works well for this because housing is finite and demand in inelastic; prices can rise faster than fundamentals, and it is therefore a liquidity sponge that is a necessary liability to take.

Project 2025. The goal is to remove all tariffs and other limitations against the US.

Canada for instance has laws on antibiotics for dairy, foreign ownership for banks and telcos, various things like that. India has tariffs on everything.

The document outlines crazy things like capital punishment and a border wall, its clearly Trumps handbook. It’s all in there.
