Yea, this inverter isn't very bright and violates the first rule of splitting with an axe (after wearing steal toed boots), don't let go of the axe handle during your swing.

No, the first rule of using an axe is to either use an axe with a long handle, or a hatchet, but never anything in between.

I'm not much worried about my toes wielding a long-handled axe, but I am worried about more distal objects (and people) in the plane of the swinging motion. Medium-handled axes are for crazy people who never much liked walking around in the first place, or who get an unbearable itch to perform a District 9 pedicure.

Wrong.

Look into Federal Reserve system. It is not Federal. It does not maintain a reserve. It is a consortium of privately owned and undisclosed banks.

In modern, neo-Liberal economic societies Government borrows money from private, central banks. This money is called into creation as debt. The creation of the money is an act of the bank - an accounting phantom - entering new assets as black ink on their ledgers.

Government no more "creates money" under this scenario, that you do, by using a credit card.

If "governments" backed the money, they wouldn't declare "austerity" programs on their own constituency - but instead issue jubilee forgiveness, with full restoration of productive capacity, etc. Instead, the EU and US BOTH "bail out" creditor institutions, ceding all right to their own resources and productive capacity to ownership by the bank.

It looks so gay that if it was painted pink it'd only be 3.7% gayer.

They seem to have some grasp of economics too.

Even so, chickens (& geese) worry me more.

"money see, monkey do"

You work in marketing?

The ex-Aussie PM was worth a bonk, even if she was a rustymuff.

Unlike the other two, an EMP event that could damage or destroy most electronic equipment within 1,000 mils of it can be created by most any nuclear power on the planet.

Sure. And they'd get their bottoms soundly smacked if they did it.

God wouldn't. He'd make a rainbow afterwards and we'd be like "OK, you're the boss".

If you take off your "Electric Companies are TEH EVIL" hat for a second, it's pretty interesting that they have the same issue that states do with paying for roads in relation to electric cars. That is, someone generating electricity or using an electric car is making use of a resource where the cost of access is subsidized by something you are no longer consuming.

I think the electric companies have a pretty good point that they still have to pay to maintain lines to your house even though you are now consuming a fraction of what you would have.

The law of mass action, you oik.

Benighted moron. Have you read the story here about batteries?

His mere presence will bring costs down by an order of magnitude. He can do an ERP implementation in three and a half minutes.

Shun the unbeliever! Shun! Shun!

What could possibly go wrong?

"Some scientists think that plate tectonics are essential for life"

I think it are singular, but I might be wrong because I studied a physic and a small economic.

It's a Typepad hosted site...

unless you have a weirdo like one of my former roomies who has a ... let's say rather special taste.

I lived with one of those once. Funny thing is, there was a really high turnover of people there. Some left without saying anything or even packing their things.

He always blamed it on my BO.
