Comment Re:I'm ashamed that I never get sick of these stor (Score 1) 104

there are some advantages to government backed [inflationary] currencies with strong banking regulations & government backed insurance on individual accounts.

That kind of insurance, guaranteeing that you will get at least a fraction of your money back when convenient for the bank, could be replicated for Bitcoin, but it would only be of value to lunatics

Most girls come to associate pink with their gender at an early age, yet 100 years it was considered a masculine colour and soft, pale blue was feminine. So if we can inadvertently flip that around, perhaps there are other changes we can make deliberately that will actually improve things.

What's the point of such a swap, putting higher IQ women who would work part-time as veterinarians or sit on their asses in government offices in the programming salt mines, and letting the men take a load off in the pink jobs that are slightly lower paid? Guess there is some half-baked notion that girls can have pink and blue, and the boys will have no color; and maybe as jobs become scarce it is possible for women to get every white-collar job, but the joke is on them since they will have to pay all the childcare and taxes.

People won't spend when deflation makes them richer, but they will when inflation makes them poorer...do you really believe such nonsense or are you simply too dishonest to admit you are really talking about the cost of credit. Which is great for the wealthy, but not good for consumers except in terms of government handouts

That's no distinction, everything said is opinion. Press more than anyone claim their opinions are fact, so if opinion is punished should start with them. Now if you want to punish lying, the courts are going to be booked with politicians for the rest of our lifetimes so the law still wouldn't apply.
