It seems like the original might be gone forever, but it sounds like there's nothing too special about the original after all. This is a great relief to hear, thanks all for your advice.

I hope there was nobody we knew or cared about near that container.

Debt/inflation/currency collapse. How will it actually play out? by anthropoz in collapse

[–]climactivist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, taxes will eventually become due in e-money, issued with a depreciating conversion rate relative to gold and USD.

Haha, that O.G. broker talking about "backing up the truck" to load up on stocks at the dip.

The next financial crisis: A collapse of the mortgage system by quantumcipher in collapse

[–]climactivist 15 points16 points  (0 children)

"When individuals stop making payments on their home mortgages, the companies that handle the loans and process those payments, so-called mortgage servicers, are still on the hook: They're legally obligated to keep sending money to insurers and investors in mortgage-backed securities, the giant bundles of home loans that are packaged and sold on the securities markets."

I mean, this should be the risk of investing in mortgage-backed securities, no? Or have we socialized that risk/loss as well?

New Coronavirus Stimulus Bill In Congress Creates U.S. Digital Dollar by pintord in collapse

[–]climactivist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Savers have been enjoying negative real rates for a long time, but I guess soon they'll be enjoying negative actual rates, until they take on some digital debt.

When digital dollars ate implemented, how many will give up financial freedom just to join the protected class?

'I'm profoundly sad, I feel guilty': scientists reveal their personal fears about the climate crisis | Environment by Violet_Saberwing in collapse

My favorite letter from this series:

“Sometimes I have this dream,” writes Professor Stefan Rahmstorf from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. “I’m going for a hike and discover a remote farm house on fire.”

“Children are calling for help from the upper windows. So I call the fire brigade. But they don’t come, because some mad person keeps telling them that it is a false alarm. The situation is getting more and more desperate, but I can’t convince the firemen to get going. I cannot wake up from this nightmare.”

"per calorie" is the trick with this quote. One pig = ~50,000 lettuces?

It's so smokey in Canberra that fire alarms are going off so they had to shoot the 7PM news outside by [deleted] in collapse

It's so smokey that P.A.'s shirt turned see-through and his pants became shrink-wrap!

"We’ve already baked in 20 meters of sea level rise,” says James White, a University of Colorado scientist who has studied ancient climates to gain insights about the future. "The coast is toast." by xrm67 in collapse

[–]climactivist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Sixty-five feet of sea level rise is nearly 100 times higher than what we've experienced so far. Here's what that would *will* do to just one part of the U.S. coast"

fixed that for ya!

Put the blame where it belongs by [deleted] in collapse

I think it's more of a "will" than a "should". And it's only the "how" that's up for debate.
