Yeah, but they don't put it under a rock. They put it into short term investments

When I said cash reserves, I meant it literally. They are in fact doing the equivalent of putting it under a rock, and again, at unprecedented levels, and this is (again, again) very well documented such that anyone who actually cares about this already knows. Why don't you care enough to know?

Go anywhere, literally anywhere else on earth and youÃ(TM)ll find out that racism is much worse and no one is even bothering to fight it. [...] What will really burn your grits is the fact that this attempt is based in a Christian anthropology

Christianity has always been racist. Otherwise the Christians could have just been Jews, which would actually make since since "Jesus" "said" "he" came not to replace "God"s laws, but to confirm them. Christians are just lazy-ass Jews.

This is his hobby. Think of it as the rich arsehole's coal rolling.

This is his vocation. Think of it as him paying back Putin for leading Russia to bank with him after it came out that he defrauded Deutsche Bank, which he will continue to do if he doesn't want him to release all the information on him Russia got from Epstein.

If the Fed just invented UBI by printing money, the prices of basics would skyrocket.

Steady inflation is healthy. It devalues hoarded cash. The wealthy currently have unprecedented cash reserves. (This is trivial to look up. Hundreds or even thousands of articles have been published about it by major media outlets.) If we are unwilling to institute a wealth tax then we will need to ramp up inflation in order to effectively get that money back from them. If they would spend it like they claim they do then it could employ people, but since they are sitting on it they are reducing the velocity of money, which effectively contracts the money supply.

Don't mistake me, a wealth tax is superior, because inflation does have negative effects and a wealth tax does not. There's not any chilling effects of a wealth tax because the wealthy still want to be the wealthiest, so they will still compete even if the numbers they achieve won't be as large. If we could get downtrodden dipshits to stop worshiping prosperity as if one day they would get to be the exploiters, then we could solve the problem of the wealthy sitting on cash as if it would hatch with a wealth tax. But GLWT, the worms always come out of the woodwork to defend billionaires as if they could ever become one, and as if the billionaires didn't look down on them as less than scum.

BeOS was a little too classic mac-ish interface-wise. Its "different to be different" mixed with "simple but nostalgic" window handles and grab areas were less functional than Windows.

The underpinnings were good, but it didn't put enough effort into being multiuser, which was the same mistake made by OS/2.

This stuff could have been fixed by Apple, but instead they got The Jobs so they could profit from the reality distortion field. Too bad about the juice diet.

Whites need to be replaced because they are shitty and disingenuous stewards. White people invented racism to justify shitting all over everyone and everything they care about. You decided to be an existential threat to life itself and then cry about people wanting to replace you. White people doing white people things.

Simply add a clause to the permit language that prohibits the killing of avian species.

If we add that language to all permit applications then nobody will ever be able to build anything, which fits in nicely with Putin's goal of destroying America, which is what he did business with Trump for. If you support this, you are an enemy of the United States. If you are also a citizen, you are a traitor. If not, any American who provides you aid and comfort is one.

But more relevantly here, doing something like that would simply be an end run around the law and equally as illegal. Judges aren't as stupid as you seem to think they are. Most people who think judges are stupid are very, very stupid.

I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.

That's not even vaguely what I said, so it's unclear if this is some kind of language issue or the result of a disability, but I'm just feeling worse and worse for you. You somehow believe the cold war was about communism?
