@sickburnbro > "They're independent agencies that aren't directly answerable to Congress either"

LOL. Congress doesn't have that authority. All agencies must be answerable to one of the three branches of our government.

NBC news is shocked that Americans recognize reality when it's shoved in their faces:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/poll-dr...

Attitudes haven't changed. The reality of the cost/benefit ratio has changed. Between college costs that have dramatically outstripped inflation for over 50 years and wages that have failed to remotely keep pace with inflation over that same time, a college degree will no longer even pay for itself.

And that doesn't even consider that the degree requiring job field is effectively closed to White men and advancement is now relatively limited for White women.

They refuse to believe that option will ever be on the table. Little do they realize it already is.

When someone says that ask them what exactly it was we set up in Iraq?

@LawrenceGerald @sickburnbro @Ninomiya > did he venerate the wall or no?

I'm finding conflicting information. Being Roman Catholic, he may know it's not really the Temple wall.

This post says he did in 2022:

This article says he didn't in 2024:

  He went to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre instead.Big symbolism. Israeli media initially reported he was set to go to the Western Wall and hold a joint presser with Netanyahu. Instead, he just met with Netanyahu in his office.Notably...

One of the many reasons I'd never have made it in politics.

It's so cute they think they're going to have any say in the matter.

In this usage, science is a process performed by people. Of course people make mistakes. Thinking otherwise is insanity.

I'm very much afraid that's what the actual answer is going to be.

That would definitely be preferable, but I don't see a controlled response like that happening. ☹️

@sickburnbro @dassauerkraut > Note that this is essentially what things looked like until probably the 60s.

For very good reasons. Charging them the 30% interest required to clear that 10% after covering losses isn't "fair" either. They're the ones that can least afford to pay it.

Yes, but for the usage of usury we can limit it to the interest charged on a loan.

@sickburnbro @dassauerkraut > What usury means is "don't fuck over normal people to make a profit"

That's the traditional understanding, yes. What is a fair profit is a more thorny issue, but in the end I think pretty much everyone would agree that 10% a year is the top end of fair. Amazingly, that's what the S&P 500 tends to average per year before inflation is factored in.

@sickburnbro @ThatWouldBeTelling @JoshuaSlocum > and so the "easy" hack to avoid this is to have a constant low inflation, so people don't get the idea that holding on to their money will make it worth more ( which I have no feeling for either way )

Thus the Fed's stated goal of 2%/year inflation. Which they never achieve and it runs closer to 3% and more like 4% for your average person.

Note that 2% inflation still means things quadruple in price over a normal human lifespan.
