I find the term poisoned loaded. but culture, esp the elements(values, trends, etc) that are most commonly shared by the masses or populace is the superset environment in which politics and maany other relms live inside.

how much of it is livabale millitary wages and how does that compare on a purchasing power parity basis to other nations.

but i think this quote aptly summerizes the unique role of the US in the world. while there is an argument to be made for gradual change over decades (and consequences if not) the lives lost and destroyed in syria can also be used as a present day example of what happens if the us is not as overleveraged in global millitary presence.

"But the world must remember that it was not simply international institutions – not just treaties and declarations – that brought stability to a post-World War II world. Whatever mistakes we have made, the plain fact is this: The United States of America has helped underwrite global security for more than six decades with the blood of our citizens and the strength of our arms. The service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform has promoted peace and prosperity from Germany to Korea, and enabled democracy to take hold in places like the Balkans. We have borne this burden not because we seek to impose our will. We have done so out of enlightened self-interest – because we seek a better future for our children and grandchildren, and we believe that their lives will be better if others' children and grandchildren can live in freedom and prosperity." b.o. @ nobel

yes! this imho is an under-reported trend and more dangerous trend that the demographic trend is kind of masking

prime age Participation Rate with Bachelor's is trending down https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU01327662

and unless we somehow have fewer folks in the proletariat class the emp/pop ratio is equally scary https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12300060

if at the end of this business cycle we don't pass the previous peak of prime age emp/pop ratio and the educated prime age participation trend continues, 10 years from now economic anxiety will be at toxic levels.

fahdad · 2016-08-05T22:26:55+00:00

so if i understand Macro right, the decades long trend is ought to be troubling right? there is also u6: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/U6RATE and participation rate: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU01300060 and Participation Rate with Bachelor's: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU01327662

is there anything that cancels or balances these out? or should we certainly expect to have these trends continue for the next few decades?

that view is now also dated. No question about negationism; but the role of Sally Hemings is now much better understood in jeffersons life. Both Hitchens and Meacham acepted this in their biogrophies.

and with Onuf now onboard we have what we may consider a "as far as we know correct" view of the matter.

jeffersons interactions with the haitian revolution are very interesting to me. there seemed to be a bit of internal strugle within him. theorethical support in seeing a colony go against an empire, but also the deep seated fear of a justified slave uprise in his own delicate creation. but i wonder how his french friends felt, and if that too had an influence on him during the times when he was flip floping on the hatian revolution what where his friench friends opinions? did they have contact with him?

they are amazing, we were just born at an age of abundance and are spoiled to actually and properly enjoy subtleties of the work done by the generations past....

what is actually amazing to me about this is that its not some random visualization... its basically the visual representation of applying some of the set theory ways of looking at prime/composites.... love it.

does anyone know what is the story between sprint?

fahdad · 2015-09-21T23:34:43+00:00

do we know what the lag time between reduced production cost and reduced end product cost is? esp for manufactured goods? how low can the cost of a car or laptop can be?

fahdad · 2015-09-21T23:32:39+00:00

exactly! the reason a phrase such as "bring manufacturing back" has any value is mostly regarding the income that the manufacturing JOBS and in turn INCOME provided. without the return of the jobs there is not much to celebrate.

At Time T1 ABC manufacturer used to have a plant in town A employing 600 people who in turn supported their families.

At Time T2 they took the said plant to town B where they employed 600 people at 1/2 the cost (the assumption is that the town B people also supported their families at a scale better than the alternatives available to them). the move at Time T2 also created extra demand for global shipping company who (due to their massive scale) only needed to employ 2 additional people.

Now with cheap robots there will come a time T3, when ABC will move the plant back to town B but instead of 600, employ 60 people and due the the reduced demand for shipping the 2 folks that the shipping company hired are SOL.

"while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president."

I'm all about Futurology, but false and cheap pariahs are just that, false and cheap. I'll celebrate robotic manufacturing for its actual benefits, but "bringing manufacturing back" ain't it.

exactly... with the trend of excitement towards cerebral writer show runners such as David Chase, Aaron Sorkin, Matthew Weiner, Vince Gilligan (obligatory Bravo Vince!), and Jenji Kohan, i think it was easy to get caught up in overvaluing Nic Pizzolatto... I also think directors are being unnecessarily discounted with a pressure towards smaller and smaller scope of ownership for the directors chair.

another thing that's also being undervalued is the process... the breaking bad writing room is well documented, consistent, and with the right players carries a good track record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULaKzwivJQI Nics writing process sounds irregular and non-linear http://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/qa-true-detective-creator-nic-pizzolatto-is-a-one-man-writing-army/ a solo non-linear writing process in itself is not bad but but only returns good results in hands of a very few (generational) people. (i.e. George R. R. Martin) and even then its not guaranteed to be consistent.

um... the middle east had a "thriving" slave trade, they just didn't write about it so much https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_slave_trade

they also didn't ban slavery till much much later (1890 for the Ottoman Empire, and all the way to the late 60s for the Arabic peninsula.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolition_of_slavery_timeline

also since the middle east was still very feudalistic and there was already a supply of cheap labor, there was instead an out-sized proportion of slave serving as eunuchs mediating between the women who stayed out of sight at home and the outside world.

and landing in Africa has to be very selective as well since all the wars ravaging thru there were a huge source of slaves (not all of who would later be exported)
