It’s actually quite deniable. Not being able to explain something doesn’t mean there are supernatural reasons for the unexplained.

No

This was the genius (or good luck) of Hamilton. Taking on the debts of the US states at the federal level prevented this problem when switching to a common currency at the formation of the US.

Improperly conceived is more accurate. A strong political union is important for a common currency. They should have stuck with free trade and visa free movement ( not permanent relocation) for the level of political union they have.

Are you saying Germany succeeded in economics where war had failed?

Yeah... everyone I talked at the time to said austerity is the wrong tactic.

Welcome to the debacle that was the United States Articles of Confederation.

Perhaps what the EU needed wasn’t a common primary currency but a common secondary currency that was used as a medium to convert currency between members.

Almost like MMT is real.

Which is crazy.... in the US, a developer from Nebraska is just as expensive as one from California for any given company.

The location of the company dictates the wages ( costs of living), not the source of the developer.... (unless we’re talking an H1B visa sham hire which isn’t the same as your situation)

That’s interesting. What’s the mechanism for that? Uninformed intuition would lead one to think there would not be a difference.

Yeah, it didn’t work for my wife :-(. We were hopeful.

Printing money was alway the job of private banking in the US. Bank notes were used in the 19th century but sucked because podunk bank’s note wasn’t accepted in NYC...the federal reserve fixed that by centralizing all bank note creation to a consortium of reserve banks.

Believe in it? Trusting FDIC is tantamount to trusting the full faith and credit of the US Government. If you don’t trust it what are you doing here?

I agree. Without fiat currency, the US would have crumbled into a pile of blood soaked rubble.

Nuclear energy

Plus they just release it when they die.... that’s not a solution for petroleum and coal based carbon since it was environmentally sequestered before we dug it up.

I think the technology is needed because I don’t think we have the capacity as a culture to stop emissions fast enough.

I am concerned that they are so focused on syngas because it just creates a cycle that doesn’t reduce the CO2 we have released..... eventually we will just use a technology like this do pull CO2 out of the environment but there can’t be a financial aspect to it.

More like people are finally going to feel the fiscal responsibility for their road use in a much more direct way.

The confrontation was between the kids and the black Israelites. The Native gentleman was trying to use chanting to interfere with the conflict.

It’s probably better to figure out how to convert it to concrete stabilization materials.

Try buying biodegradable products rather than wasting your time with recycling

People who saw a way to skim off the top by setting up recycling companies.

Full DNSSEC eliminates the need to have a trusted cert supplier. You can make your own very and the DNSSEC system will be able to validate you are you and not someone else in the system.

The whole system needs to be on DNSSEC to prevent hijacking. Just because you have a DNSSEC server doesn’t mean anything if the guy down the way can still be made to redirect traffic to a malicious site.

...”if those things are gut related illnesses “

Finished your sentence.

I think the most obvious question is “does schizophrenia cause an abnormal gut microbiome or does an abnormal gut microbiome causes schizophrenia?”

My bet is it’s the former, not the later.

Changing the H1B visa to let holders change companies easily would be a good start at removing the pay disparity and incentive to not hire qualified US workers.

Think of WASM like you think of assembly code for the desktop. C, C++, Delphi, etc....All with their own libraries and frameworks to do the same thing...namely, not write desktop apps.

a common compile target makes it easy for developers and companies. Languages and frameworks should never be the common denominator for solution building because it is inflexible.
