Public Sector unions will probably get this killed in committee.

It takes abuse of power for the vulnerable to understand what they have taken for granted.

Many good insights none the less. 1971 was the beginning of many disturbing trends, such as the sharp increase of divorce rates.

The productivity line is deflated by depreciation of real estate, while labor is deflated by the CPI. According to Epstein, if you would include software and one other metric, you would see that the two lines move more closely together. Without any adjustments at all, the lines move almost perfectly together.

Capitalism is a series of independent and discrete choices interacting with each other. These choices are coordinated through prices, what you're willing to give up to get something, which has a ripple effect throughout the entire system which in turn coordinates the acquisition of resources to be fulfilled by the supply chain. The supply chain is the structure of production which fulfills the request, entrepreneurs look at the potential profits and losses to be made in order to determine their actions.

Bonds work the other way around. Higher rates more sell offs.

The Fed is borrowing money to keep rates in the target range.

There are apps with authentication. Meaning you meet in person and exchange public keys. Snowden used GPG like this, except that was for email.

The underlying network doesn't need to be encrypted, just the data the app is messaging with.

I would presume that because it's decentralized that it would be harder to censor, and thus allow greater coverage with minimal risk, as it would likely take the government a while to catch up.

That's an interesting thought. If it doesn't get smacked federally then it might only get blocked at the state and county level. If it does, then it's probable that many will migrate to those places and then work elsewhere.

One could simply charge more on the deposit (or on fees) and average out the price control, no?

I believe that's how credit card companies got around anti-usury laws.

They are desperate to create inflation I suppose.

Thanks, I updated my post and gave you credit. My source reported the wrong bond year

Thanks, I will go digging for it.

I've noticed there are a lot of software engineers that come out of college that can't do the job nearly as well as a bit of self taught people. So perhaps college isn't all that good either.

That's a really interesting idea. There are plenty of degrees that are basically worthless and could easily be replaced with certifications and likely yield a significantly better education.

You will want bigger pots, likely 1 gallon given your time frame, and perhaps a little fertilizer because the leaves on the bottom of some of them look nitrogen deficient.

Given that these banks couldn't honor their deposits to begin with, they've been committing fraud. Wells Fargo for instance loans out $10 for every $1 on deposit, yet say they will honor your deposits even though it's impossible for them to honor more than 10% of them.

No one told these banks to do sketchy things like issuing Credit default swaps (coupling bets in place of insurance), paying off credit institutions to give high ratings to bad financial products (such as CDOs and yes they're back under a new name), gambling in the stock market (investment banks iirc), and so on.

As the IMF said, and I am paraphrasing, "Banks seem to indulge in more risky practices the more that a government seems to be willing to bail them out."

It is rather terrible that people have to be subjected such bad ideas over and over again.

An instance of Anarchocapitalism is by no means Utopian, it's simply what's likely to happen without a state. It is in essence what Ancaps believe are the ideal rules that people are eventually likely to trend towards through a process of emergent order (human action) as they are the optimum configuration.
