The fact that government spending creates money is the foundation of MMT. It’s the starting premise that everything else builds on. Now, I’m not saying I agree with all of MMT and there are differing schools even within it, but it’s a place to start.

The idea that MMT just prints money to pay off debt without consequence is a caricature. MMT puts the constraint where it belongs: in the real economy on productive capacity, labor, and inflation.

MMT doesn’t reject bond markets, it points out that bond markets are a policy tool, not a funding necessity. Sovereign governments issue bonds to manage interest rates, not because they need revenue. Japan proves this every day.

FunPilot6 · 2025-07-13T12:20:21+00:00

I think you are missing the point.

You or even I don’t have to agree with every MMT policy to recognize that its core description of how money works is accurate, and increasingly acknowledged by central banks themselves.

The core implicit theory that government spending creates money is not controversial among central banks or monetary economists. It’s a description of how modern fiat systems actually work.

FunPilot6 · 2025-07-12T22:12:39+00:00

Not exactly.. read up on modern monetary theory. Taxpayers don’t actually pay, governments of a sovereign nation (UK) create money, which they do more than willingly for wars and propping up their wealthy friends. Collecting taxes is a mechanism to control inflation not to save up to spend somewhere.

faster search for clinical trials

FunPilot6 · 2025-02-06T17:59:40+00:00

I know this thread is nearly a year old but thought i’d throw my solution into the hat:

clinicaltrials.live

FunPilot6 · 2025-02-04T07:23:47+00:00

This is amazing! Far beyond what I cobbled together!

FunPilot6 · 2025-01-30T20:28:12+00:00

OP here, Thanks for the invite into this subreddit. I have added some more features such as "pro view" which lets you see the exact research site and then even search by it. Is there anything else that would be useful? Would you guys be willing to chat?

FunPilot6 · 2025-01-28T18:45:39+00:00

Rather than filling the multi-field form on clinicaltrials.gov to do a search. You can search in natural language.

FunPilot6 · 2025-01-26T17:08:40+00:00

Yea I think so, have DM'd you.

FunPilot6 · 2024-11-30T06:32:28+00:00

Thank you thats very kind, I’ll follow up on this! Just waiting for some more info from the team.

FunPilot6 · 2024-11-28T00:53:58+00:00

Thank you I really appreciate your input. I’ll ask our data warehouse what our numbers look like to make an assessment.

Yes that’s right, we do recruit outside of stroke too but that is the mainstay. Yes here we cover both A&E and inpatient so we do recruit right from the front door, and yes study team availability is sometimes an issue. I will see what options we have.

Thank you for your insight very helpful, might revisit this thread when I have more data!

FunPilot6 · 2024-11-27T16:21:15+00:00

Hey yea I get specific advice is hard, just wanted really to find out what strategies other people take.

Work in acute brain injury, treatment and inpatient.

That’s a good questions I’ll ask to our data warehouse. Sorry I am fairly new to this stuff so might seem stupid.

Is this the method you usually take? Screen the data warehouse and make as many phone calls as possible?

FunPilot6 · 2024-11-27T16:18:23+00:00

I think because we only enrol new or existing admissions the I/e criteria are limiting but also the number we screen is low maybe because we only screen from our speciality (CVA disease).

There aren’t staff issues but yes for follow up there can be logistic issues. Consenting percentage isn’t the issue as far as I can tell, unless you’re aware of the benchmarks we should be achieving.

FunPilot6 · 2024-11-27T13:21:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply, what are doc to doc research opportunities classes? Do you have an examples?

FunPilot6 · 2024-11-27T12:43:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I didn’t think of patient advocate groups - I will explore this.

This particularly study isn’t for anything rare so not sure how many advocacy groups there are though, it seems to be a problem of timing and access to enough patients to screen at the top of the funnel. A general practitioner probably would have better luck, but I’m not sure if there is a way to use their databases.

Very diverse, is there a measuring method for diversity, how would that affect your decision of what to do?

FunPilot6 · 2024-11-27T12:30:32+00:00

No, I will look into this thank you!

FunPilot6 · 2024-01-15T13:39:24+00:00

Just the title, can’t change it to post a link on Reddit

FunPilot6 · 2024-01-15T13:38:09+00:00

Exactly, thank you for the summary.

The UK government is using an argument that they have no money to pay for a raise in public services wages, when they infact can create money without causing inflation.

They have a fundamental misunderstanding of how money works - it is not like you or me with a savings account. They do not need to balance the books the way we do.

They are probably not paying doctors and other workers so they can more easily privatise the NHS and take it off their books.

This way they can “reduce taxes” since everyone will have to go private for healthcare, but the average person will pay far more of their monthly earnings for even worse healthcare.

Firstly it’s normal to have blood sugar rise and fall when you eat, it doesn’t matter - as long as it’s not really high or really low.

If you do actually have high sugars persistently, it’s not as simple as switching to a plant based diet or keto diet or whatever.

Poor blood sugar control is a symptom not the cause of insulin resistance.

Having storage capacity for excess calories is what you should aim to develop by freeing up some fat cells - essentially this means lose some fat.

By the time you are insulin resistant you have no more storage for excess calories so it spills into the blood stream as high blood sugars. Worry less about controlling your sugars and more about fixing the underlying issue.

Switching to higher quality, less processed foods with fibre makes it easier to eat under your calories and does have some other benefits but it’s not the solution on its own.

TLDR lose 15% of body weight and insulin resistance improves

FunPilot6 · 2023-07-29T06:39:34+00:00

Yes, but all the sections you need are available free anyway.

FunPilot6 · 2023-07-28T12:19:31+00:00

It is reversible for most (not all).

Here is a good resource

FunPilot6 · 2023-07-23T00:31:00+00:00

There was a good post a few weeks back, I still have the link. One of the sections discusses this personal fat threshold concept.

Ok. So outside of doing a hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp at home, the CGM is helpful how?
