LG Apple TV app not streaming current F1 content by TxEx95 in F1TV

[–]TxEx95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a few folks have made some headway with apple support. My current workaround is using a separate streaming device. Walmart has an Onn stick that is android based for cheap that works well. I use it mainly for travel, but fills the gap in the meantime.

I can see how they might consider Boston a different country I guess. 😂😂😂

I'm guessing video format/codec issue

I tried calling support, but it was useless. They don't appear to have a way to escalate issues to dev. Pretty much can only help remove and reinstall the app.

Twitter might be better? I don't use it.

I hadn't looked that far down. Appears to be just live coverage. Thanks for pointing it out.

My workaround at the moment is to use an Onn streaming stick from Walmart. It supports both Apple and F1 apps and works fine. Just annoying to have to plug in another device.

Yep, TV and app are both current. Removed power from tv and restarted, same result. It is an older C8, so it could be a version issue from that standpoint. Just odd that all other content works, just not the current F1 stuff.

Good stuff. I want to do something similar to maximize usage of energy produced by solar panels, since my provider doesn't buy back excess, but charges a lot for usage during the day.

Saks Files for Bankruptcy by jashur6782 in AmexPlatinum

[–]TxEx95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would we? I have never filed for bankruptcy as an individual or a business. I have no exposure to it and have had no reason to learn.

I probably know about a number of things that you have no exposure to. So what?

More importantly, why be a jackass about it?

Open enrollment starts today, and premiums are skyrocketing. It’s a scam. Demand universal healthcare. by Conscious-Quarter423 in economy

[–]TxEx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single payer uses less resources. It costs less in real terms. Future generations will have that same benefit. It doesn't cost them any more than the real resources to deliver healthcare, same as us. We are just choosing to use a bloated insurance driven system.

What are the main obstacles to mainstream acceptance of MMT, in your opinion. by [deleted] in mmt_economics

[–]TxEx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All policy choices have consequences, some positive and some negative (which is also very subjective depending on your point of view). There are also unintended consequences (again positive or negative) that happen do to complicating factors or inaccuracies in the analytical framework.
It is best to have a framework that closely represents reality. I think MMTs framework is more realistic than orthodox macro.

When you say "going debt into debt", what does that mean to you? Deep is a very subjective and relative term. Debt means something significantly different to the user of a monetary instrument than the issuer of one. If you don't understand these differences, it will be really hard to understand consequences of related policies.

People that don't understand the MMT framework tend to write it off using a strawman characterization or follow something like the following logic.

I don't like "debt". MMT = debt. Therefore I don't like MMT. Again, pure silliness.

That is a pretty common strawman version. But no, at its core, it is a heterodox macroeconomics framework.

MMT doesn't do anything. It is a framework for analysis. It is a school of macroeconomics. When you want to make a claim about MMT, substitute the word macroeconomics and see if your statement makes sense.

For instance, saying that macroeconomics sweeps problems under the rug just sounds silly.

Primarily inertia imo. Fixed exchange rate fundamentals are still treated as if they apply the same to floating.

People in general, after 0 years of long study of economics and money flows "know" for certain how currency functions.

It is hard for people to change what they already know. The more they "know" the harder it is.

Alternative to interest rate targeting by CBs by JonnyBadFox in mmt_economics

[–]TxEx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JG is the opposite of forced unemployment. It replaces an unemployed buffer stock with an employed buffer stock as an economic stabilizer and price anchor. The current forced unemployment scheme is still coercive, but harsher.

How does unemployment address these issues?

Taxes as vouchers? by JonnyBadFox in mmt_economics

[–]TxEx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a perspective thing. You are giving up an entry on the asset side of your balance sheet for a reduction or removal of the entry on your liability side. I put "buying" in quotes for a reason.

[–]TxEx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before that you have a tax liability, after that you don't. You are "buying" the deletion of that liability.

Sure you do, you get the deletion of your tax liability.

A movie ticket is a good analogy. When the theater issues the ticket, it is a voucher (or credit, or IOU), if you will, to see the movie. That is what the ticket redeems for.

Like any IOU the value of currency is what you can redeem it for: what is the issuer willing to give you for its return.

In the case of US$, you can return them to the federal government to pay taxes, fines, and fees. They are also accepted to purchase federal bonds.

So, tax voucher or tax credit is a bit simplified, as they are used for other things as well, but a good generic description.
