Comment Re:Debt-based currency vs Modern Monetary Theory (Score 2) 249

We've learned that increasing the money supply by fiat did not lead to runaway inflation (inflation definitely happened, but primarily from other factors like greed)

Um, what?

Inflation definitely happened (just like real economists said it would), because more money was chasing not-proportionately-more goods and services.

It's ... math.

So every country can rule that Microsoft also supplies the US military so therefore can be banned due to national security reasons. Intel, Nvidia, Boeing, etc... as well.

There's a difference between "supplying" and "basically being owned by".

(There's also a difference between a western democracy and a communist dictatorship, but that argument is probably hopeless with you.)

... spilled water or not, if the humanoid robot doesn't actively commit crimes and if it pays the slightest attention to what you say, then it would probably improve the work force at, say, fast food restaurants.

We could give the humanoid robots lots of tattoos, so that people wouldn't be too uncomfortable with the change?

Yeesh, I thought that bit of stupidity had reached its expiration date at least a year ago. Israel is openly massacring civilians by the thousand, people who have never touched a weapon in their lives beyond a kitchen knife. They're shooting people queuing up to receive food from tanks, for the gods' sake, and deliberately starving people to death. Just listen to the boasting by their leadership, Smotrich openly says that they're going to kill every man, woman and child who are unable to leave Gaza or the West Bank, and then they'll start on "Israeli" Arabs, and Ben Gvir is only slightly more reserved.

You are insane. None of those things are happening.
