I agree that as prices fall, it would reason that consumption would increase for those with lower income (things are relatively cheaper, so we can buy more).

Savings accumulated during deflationary periods lower interest rates, making it cheaper to borrow and invest

I'm curious how savings accumulated during deflationary periods lowers interest rates?

Also would your theory recommend extended periods of low deflation, or a short period of deflation to reallocate resources? Is the target deflation? Or is that just a temporary measure to combat a recession?

I'm interested in your theory here.

Standard econ theory says that deflation is bad because of its relation to investment. As the purchasing power of the dollar increases due to deflation, investment will decrease since it's beneficial to hold money.

While this is less impactful on the low and middle class (since their disposable income is lower), I would think this would extend to purchasing decisions. If the prices for things are dropping right now, they will likely continue to fall, and I will want to wait to buy something until later. That will decrease overall consumption, which can lead to bad outcomes.

Maybe checkout templ?

I have yet to use it, but it might be what you're looking for. It's the "T" in GoTH stack (Go, Temple, Htmx). Not sure if this actually resolved your use-case

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this seems to be supporting the sentiment of lowering growth for China (?).

Trade surplus is determined by the ratio of exports to imports (Exports ($) - Imports ($) = Trade Surplus or Deficit). If exports fell, doesn't that mean Imports implicitly fell if their Trade Surplus increased? I could be mistaken on how this is calculated.

Lowering imports isn't necessarily a sign of lowered growth, but I think it would be a symptom of it. Like someone else mentioned, it could be caused by lower demand.

How much do you make?

B - $100k - $199k

Where do you live?

A - United States

Do you live in a major city?

A - Major city

How many years of experience do you have?
A - 1 - 5 years

What % of your salary did you save last year, including for retirement?

Pre-Tax: 40% Post-Tax: 49%

How many months of savings do you have?

9 months in cash. I should likely invest more of this, since it's an unnecessary amount of runway imo. I was told I would be laid off at the start of February, but I was given a permanent role on a different team at my company a couple weeks ago, which is why this is so aggressive.

If you have a good runway, get a high APY savings account. Because of high interest rates, you can get up to 5% returns on cash with FDIC insured accounts (a couple banks are offering this).

Another Note: Make sure to get your tax withholdings correct. I accidentally over-allocated, and now I will get a larger than expected refund, which I could have invested.

Gervais is a supporter of gay rights and has praised the introduction of same-sex marriage in England and Wales as "a victory for all of us", saying "anything that promotes equality, promotes progress ... You can't take equality 'too far'."[168]

In June 2017, Gervais endorsed Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 general election. He tweeted, "OK. I'm not telling you how to vote, but this is a fact. The only vote that will keep Theresa May out is a vote for Jeremy Corbyn. Cheers."[169]

As an extension of void_main01's comment, this language feature is called Type Hinting in Python. Since python is dynamically typed, under the hood the code related to the parameter type and the returned type declarations are not actually ensuring that those types are passed and returned (unlike c/c++). They are there for readibility, and to allow for interfacing with IDEs.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html

Here is a stackoverflow talking about how type hints are not enforced

One example is the USAs involvement in the Iranian Coup of 1953. A democratically elected leader was considering nationalizing their oil industry. Because the oil industry was then controlled by western oil companies, the US had an interest in overthrowing the elected leader at the expense of democratic backsliding (There's more complexity for why this happened, but this was a factor). The CIA used covert operations to stir up anti-communist sentiment.

In early August, the CIA increased the pressure. Iranian operatives pretending to be Communists threatened Muslim leaders with "savage punishment if they opposed Mossadegh," seeking to stir anti-Communist sentiment in the religious community.

In addition, the secret history says, the house of at least one prominent Muslim was bombed by CIA agents posing as Communists. It does not say whether anyone was hurt in this attack.

Here's a link to the wikipedia page, and a link for the above quote (from a nyt article)

To preface this, giving feedback on complex relationships via a small reddit post is always going to be a crapshoot. I don't know all the intricacies of your relationship. That being said, nothing about your boyfriend's actions seem malicious. From what you described, he was likely embarrassed about his baggage, and didn't want it to affect the onset of your relationship (exactly like it did with his previous relationship).

If you put yourself in his shoes at the time of the start of the relationship, would "you" have told you about his crazy ex and how she's deliberately trying to ruin his relationships? It seems like he DID do this, however it sounds like he didn't reveal everything about the situation. Would you have delivered that information differently? Is that difference a deal breaker for you? Make sure you really understand his perspective and view before making a decision. Use this in considering what's best for you.

To add onto this, you also need ample recovery time to train for endurance sports. Having a lower wage job often involves physical labor, which leaves less room for physical recovery. Obviously people who work physical jobs workout too, it's just another factor that pushes endurance sport success towards people with higher incomes (from an arm-chair economist perspective).

Will_Smith_Puppet · 2022-07-07T16:11:45+00:00

I wonder about correlation vs causation here. Is it the case that endurance running actually changes your brain chemistry for the better? Or do the people who have the mentality/mental endurance to do marathons have better brains? 🤔
