  • Liberals are just conservatives now, claiming that free bus service will cause violence.

  • When the spent money is used for goods and services, and the production of said goods and services can't expand, you'll have inflation. This doesn't result in US gov running out of money but the real purchasing power doesn't go up further. It depends on sector by sector. This is the real resource constraint.

    Of course, this assumes a market system. But the dynamics are similar with a system where state sets prices. If people have too much money and the state can't fulfil the demand of goods, there will be shortages (though as we have seen this also occurs under capitalism because markets aren't perfect). The state can curb this with rationing, by increasing prices, increasing taxes, forced savings or cutting discretionary spending.

    You can have inflation in certain sectors due to bottlenecks even before such "full employment".

    And supply shocks, say Russia Ukraine war or covid reduces real output, that'll show up as inflation until things adjust. This is why hiking interest rates to such kind of supply side inflaiton is silly, because it doesn't fix the underlying cause, results in more spending to rich ppl who hold bonds and can undermine investments which increase output.

  • For flagship they should've gone with a flagship cpu. Ik it's not that different, but there is no reason.

  • Ofc the author is arguing for such a policy because an actual min wage increase won't pass congress.

    Regardless, a minimum wage isn't the floor wage. There are workers on tips who can earn lower than min wage workers. There are undocumented and even documented migrants who earn less than citizens, many times less than min wage. Even among citizens there is disparity, though they are typically paid atleast the min wage.

    To have an actual floor wage which no private employer can break, you'll need a universal job guarantee which will have the Gov set the wage and employ anyone at the said wage. This forces the private sector to pay everyone including undocumented migrants the said wage.

    Germany’s Merz says ‘complete destruction’ of Iran’s nuclear programme possible

    Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz said if Iran does not make concessions, the “complete destruction” of its nuclear programme could be “on the agenda”.

    “The Israeli army is obviously unable to accomplish that. It lacks the necessary weapons,” Merz told broadcaster ZDF on the sidelines of the G7 summit. “But the Americans have them.”

    Earlier, President Trump said he wants a “real end” to the Israel-Iran conflict, with Iran “giving up entirely” on nuclear weapons.

    They are all in on it. They can claim how Trump is bad anti-democracy but they'll align with him on this.

  • I think the Minnesota cops being fooled by a guy wearing a mask is proof that Hitman games can be realistic.

  • Tbh if China dropped trade with pissrahell, their products will be replaced with Indian ones.

    The substitution takes time, it'll still be a massive shock. And there are many goods India can't make while China can.

  • 'made in the USA' what they imported it in bulk from china and put a literal wrapper on it, that counts as value added?

  • Unlike Israel which isn't filled with Jewish supremacists.

    But noo Judaism unlike every other religion cannot have extremists for some reason.

  • Airvpn has port forwarding.

  • I wonder what kind of economic shock happens if Israel goes into a full fledged war with Iran. 1970s all over again? I kinda want nothing ever happens gang to win because it'll be a disaster for the global south but I also kinda want to see something happen.
