"The tax is there to create a demand for the government’s currency. Before anyone can pay the tax, someone has to do the work to earn the currency." -Stephanie Kelton

#SaveStargate Indeed! ❤️

Hello Stargate universe! I truly enjoyed my time as part of the Stargate Atlantis family. “ Colonel Marshall Sumner”. Many of the cast are still in my life to this day. That’s rare. This community is rare. #SaveStargate LFG!!!!!

"Economics is not the Emperor of the social sciences, but the Humpty Dumpty." -Steve Keen

The desire to hold money is “a barometer of the degree of our distrust in our own calculations.” Liquidity preference is a rational response to irreducible uncertainty. In a world of measurable risk alone, money as a zero-yield asset would make little sense.

Anyone can write: “Leopold Bloom stepped outside and thought about his wife.” Very few can write: “The street smells of bread. Need to buy kidneys. Is Molly still asleep? No, Boylan’s letter. What time is it?”

I really should have gone with one "magic computer" keystroke at a time.

Der Aufstieg des Faschismus in Deutschland folgte auf eine Wirtschaftskrise (Depression) mit einer Deflation - die Hyperinflation der 1920er Jahre war deutlich vorher. Ursächlich für den "Großen Crash von 1929" war die private Verschuldung der goldenen Zwanziger, nicht die "Staatsverschuldung". Wer Angst schürt vor Finanzkrisen sollte daher auf die private Verschuldung schauen. Diese stand sowohl 1929 wie auch 2008/09 im Zentrum des Geschehens. makroskop.eu/212026/kritik-d…

JUST IN: Andrej Karpathy, a top AI scientist at Anthropic, is reportedly barred from accessing the company’s most advanced AI model because he is not a U.S. citizen.

Throughout my career, I've been dismayed by the contempt some genre executives have held for fans, routinely underestimating their power to make or break a show. I've watched this repeat too many times, across too many shows, to be talking about any single one of them. Yet despite the mounting evidence over the past few years, they continue to dismiss the data, repeating the same miscalculations time and again. But technology has rewritten the rules, and the power dynamics are shifting. Today’s fans are organized, strategic, and highly data-literate - effectively turning the platforms' own metrics against them. As the bets get bigger and the audience grows sharper, it will be fascinating to see how this plays out.

Elon Musk doesn't "have" a trillion dollars. It's just market cap on paper. He can't spend it. If he tried to sell his SpaceX stock, he would get much, much less for it. Market cap is pretty pointless if only 5% of a company is traded.

Lol

The eurozone has been a slow-motion disaster for Italy. In 2000, Italians were 7.6% richer than the average eurozone resident. Today, they are 5.9% poorer.

The age of the Iron Heel of dollar trillionaires has arrived.

I’m joining #SaveStargate. Few sci-fi franchises captured the spirit of exploration, optimism, and adventure like Stargate. After all these years, the fanbase is still here. The gate should stay open.

New wp on rising financial fragility in the US economy coming from development in private equity and debt markets is out. Ponzi finance is growing in private markets and spreading to other sectors via retailization, competition and loose financial policy levyinstitute.org/publicatio…

Lo dice hasta Goldman Sachs: “La economía española crece tres veces más que la zona euro.” “Y una razón clave para ello es la decisión del Gobierno de no priorizar el aumento del gasto en defensa. Esta política ha preservado la credibilidad del país en los mercados financieros, siendo España el único de los cuatro grandes de la UE que reducirá la deuda sobre PIB en los próximos tres años.” Más crecimiento, más estabilidad fiscal y más Estado del bienestar. Nuestro modelo funciona. Ahora que vengan las derechas a hablarnos de las virtudes del 5%. goldmansachs.com/insights/ar…
