  2. ​ @dancom6030 the only comment I've seen that hits the nail on the head. If making more but required to reduce standards of living to make ends meet without increasing debt then by definition the economy is not better for that person. Cutting benefits to make more money then paying higher health insurance is not an improvement just like having 3 part time jobs with fixed commute costs is not a better labour market statistically, even though the statistics suggest otherwise. We can learn on our own, sure, I do that, but without humans reviewing job applications in an effort to be more efficient and cut costs, then qualified self educated people don't get hired even when they're the best candidates because computers don't make value judgments of character like that. It's a double edged sword - the company loses the better pool of candidates willing to take slightly lower pay than university grads, and university grads have student loan debt with higher expectations and often lacking the gumption and character a self taught person can earn. The only way out of the mess is profit sharing to spread company earnings across any employee who does well, with wage increases fixed to inflation and replace pay bumps for solid workers with greater profit share. That would mean any smart good worker could invest in themselves long term by working any job and probably stay once they amassed more profit share and we're comfortable, and any employee could borrow short term off shares rather than pay rent-seeking banks an interest fee for doing absolutely nothing.

  8. If America can't connect WiFi, 5g, touchless card payments, or broadband in under 20 years then what makes us think EV's will have access to fast charging stations across the country in our lifetimes? Solution 1: HVDC and nuclear plants, with high speed rail commuters and EV's bring home charged for a few decades first. Solution 2: cables along major routes and hooks installed on vehicles lol

  12.  @vishalsanjay4017  not if it's already in freefall. Other market brokers aren't allowing shorts on the currency so it's falling based solely on speculation and capital flight, not short order executions. The dynamics are atypical here.

  14. Big difference from POTUS defrauding charities for free money plus tax deductions to brag about how smart and rich he is... Faaar cry lol. When rich dudes got rich by being useful, then still spent 10% of that EARNED wealth on philanthropy just because that was what made sense to do with that much money lol Amazing that was once part of the American dream but now its being rich without warning it by adding value, and hoarding it for more rent-seeking lmao. Evolution definitely steps forwards with steps backwards sometimes

  15. Wouldn't it make more sense to open hedged short positions for savings deposits? Instead of printing cash or promising to if the lira falls you'd only pay the spread without having to pay out massive savings rates in the event of volatility. If the lira falls the hedge pays the interest on account. If the Lira rises the gov't just carries the short indefinitely and pays for it in an annual tapered bond auction by volume. It's way more stable and cost effective than just promising print money to pay savers hoping it slows the decline while turkey actively applies downward pressure on the currency with promises of further printing.

  17.  @someonespotatohmm9513  it does if they acquire other currencies or their own by deliberate means. If money supply is tightened then gov't forces a huge conversion by international agreement or new tax repatriation law, for eg, a predictable swoon of buy orders in FX markets will absolutely affect the valuation and spreads just because of availability and coercion by policy. It does matter, fed can't force the gov't to want to issue bonds but gov't can plan, time and execute ideal policy changes to manipulate demand for legal tender.

  18.  @somethinglikethat2176  the record label. I think Toni Braxton and Madonna had issues like that too. The people we're trying to protect here are the labels with this protectionism, not the artists. Streaming is no different from radio, where fewer commercials aren't needed because less overhead than radio. But the artists always made the bulk of their money by being known and then going on tour.
