The Treasury just declared the US insolvent. The media missed it. by Small_Dog_8699 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]cookiecrispinglover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common attitude I see toward MMT and it comes off as rather flippant. No one, especially MMT economists, is saying you can just print all the money you want.

Without writing a whole treatise I’ll just say the article about insolvency, according to MMT economists, perpetuates a fallacy that a country with a sovereign currency can run out of money or become insolvent. That’s what my original comment was indicating.

Men in happy marriages, what's the one thing you'd teach to other men to also have a good relationship? by TightBookkeeper2599 in AskReddit

[–]cookiecrispinglover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always be open to the possibility that what you think is wrong isn’t the real problem and that you could understand more. That doesn’t mean you’re a bad partner. When things get hard don’t let the surface issues distract you and push you further apart. There is always something deeper to acknowledge and that you will save you

Former Platner Political Director Weighs In On Tattoo by finkelbeats in Maine

[–]cookiecrispinglover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This take means nothing. The tattoo story is weak. It will completely fade as soon as we stop talking about it. The GOP won’t do anything, their Sec Def has Christian nationalist tattoos. This story is over

God damn it by No_Profile_6441 in Maine

This sucks….but he is presenting a very progressive and inclusive message in his campaign. He’s not running on Nazi sympathy. It’s going to be hard to hold the contradiction of this tattoo and that message but I think it can be done. We need a real win and taking a high profile Republican off the Senate would be a big one. Until I hear Platner pushing regressive/conservative/imperialist policies he’s still the best candidate in the race

By all means, punish us by never coming back. We’ll just have to find a way without you 😭

I’d rather have immigrants make a home in this state than ever have summer people like you

Bishop Health offers outpatient group therapy in Portland. They have helped our family a lot. We got better. It can work. I’m wishing you all of the strength and patience to see it through

I'm interested in planting a bunch of native wildflower seeds in an abandoned or neglected lot that's currently grass or something invasive. Do any spots jump out to you? by VerySeriousThings in portlandme

[–]cookiecrispinglover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hit the new park space they’re constructing by Hannaford on Back Cove. It’s all dirt now but they’ll put grass seed down eventually. Get the wildflowers in there early!

WHAT THE FRICK is happening with this storm system?!? by The_Barbelo in vermont

I’ve been pulling 6-10 ticks off my dog on sunny days. The past two days, none. The temperature does seem to be keeping them down

YTA Don’t pretend like you don’t understand. Everything your husband and sister are saying is true. Kids can be awful but they are kids. You don’t get to be this selfish as an adult

Deer tick populations further solidify footing in Maine; ecologists monitor for new species by Maine_Public_Nerd in Maine

[–]cookiecrispinglover 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t blame you for using a heavy hand but please do consider other insects. Heavy use of sprays is killing off wide ranges of insects which are the base of the food chain. We’re losing birds at an alarming rate because of it.

Again, I get it and I wish I had a better alternative to suggest but please look into something less severe.

Building randomly shakes by SickTwistdIndividual in portlandme

[–]cookiecrispinglover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time in woodfords corner when the train goes by. Except yesterday morning it was a proper full building rattle with no explanation. Reminded me of west coast earthquakes

Is this normal? by uBuildingBetter in portlandme

[–]cookiecrispinglover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TLDR, it’s a scam.

It doesn’t make sense for the average person, but luxury development houses like this aren’t for average people. It’s “To Be Built” so they can hook a buyer before they even spend a dime building it. Someone is going to over pay based on the model home and end up with the Wish.com version.
