No, inflation is mostly driven by excess money printing and government deficit spending. Corporations can't raise prices across the board unless the money supply grows to meet that demand for capital.

In a restricted capital environment, rising prices in one area of the market necessitates lower prices elsewhere.

There are already labor laws on the books that outline how employees can be treated on the job. One key feature is that, at least in the United States, full time employment for non-salary employees is based around a 40-hour work week. It is already a settled question in this country as to whether the government will regulate treatment of workers (it can and will).

Right or wrong, Bernie is suggesting that the existing standard of full pay for a 40-hour workweek should be changed. Legally it would be a trivial matter to adjust existing labor regulations to accommodate such a change.

" could seep upward into the Alsace aquifer," implies that the aquifer is *above* the depth of the mine. So the question becomes, what is this magical mine where gravity works backwards?

Where on the planet is not near groundwater?

And yet, the discovery of an anti-gravity mine where contaminants flow UP to the aquifer, should be worth billions.

"Pricing in" safe disposal would have only covered the cost of burying the stuff in an old potash mine. Whoever dumped it there in the first place obviously judged it to be safe.

It was only for 1d4 rounds. Plus scientists don't have high Fort saves.

If the CEOs believe it is true, it won't matter that it is true. Reducing headcount and ending hiring is going to be their priority.

I say any company over 50 employees needs to be charged an extra AI tax for eliminating positions, above and beyond the unemployment taxes they already pay on layoffs.

That actually lines up with most of what he's saying. His claim is that the vaccine mentioned in the summary is going to cause the immune system to over-react.

Okay but if you had something with longer life and lower cost available on the market, would you keep buying LiFePO4 batteries?

Sounds like a good reason to use Firefox

The batteries you would make for a car may not be appropriate for your home and vice versa. Depending on how much space you have for batteries, you might prefer sodium batteries for longer life and lower cost.

Why is this post downmodded? Seems more on topic and appropriate than all the stupid Trump posting.

That $800 billion, whether it's Medicaid or otherwise, is all deficit spending. And government spending pullback don't mean that money "leaves the economy".

If anything is going to nuke the bond market, it's going to be further unwinding of the Yen carry trade. Oh you thought that was finished? It isn't.

Good, spend your money chasing fads now that your metaverse push has run out of gas. Your cash cattle won't keep you alive forever.
