Has the Fed learned that it should have printed money in 1929?

Am I wrong to feel like it's really close to a ban when I get post-throttled due to abusive moderation?

Can you reliably recognize AI posts?

Is the slashdot answer to "Free speech too hard?" just "Ban more because profits will suffer if censorship-loving users stop posting"?

What if they'd been allowed to post angry violent words online, and I was allowed to respond to every post with Gandhian responses, and waste away their time in online trolling rather than doing real-life violence?

If you ban them do they just double down and get more violent, like Trump?

Seeing as we just elected a President that resembles your remark, after trying to ban him, are you on the wrong side of history?

Do you really think slashdot post-throttling me will save your society from rising suicides? What if this is more about you just wanting to protect your fragile ego from cognitive dissonance?

How's that working out for society?

right, they modded me troll decade and a half ago here when I said the nations will fall apart, governments will fail, libertarian ideas will take hold. They are modding me troll today, yet it is exactly what is happening. It is possible that people are actually afraid that my comments will cause ot to jappen somehow should more people read them. My comments are not the reason anything happens, that is magical thinking by the fearful moderators. My comments are a prediction and the reality is moving in the direction of my prediction.

What if bans increase violence because rather than fighting with their words, you get them to fight with sticks and stones?

"Rabo cites a new trade war with China would drop soybean prices $1.50 to $2 a bushel and reduce soybean planting by as many as 5 million acres." - Jan 7 2025

Does the higher price per bushel of soybeans now contradict that narrative?

And, even if 5 million acres were not planted due to lack of demand, if that represents only $3 billion, at most, by how much will Trump's $12 billion exceed losses from tariffs?

Should ICE just have bought them out?

Do they share AI DS with a lot of slashdot posters?

What if they paid a basic income and people chose self-provisioning over industrial modes of production where selling subscriptions to a carefully enclosed supply takes away control from the little man?

see, here nobody accepts my belief system, they have moded both of my comments as "troll", yet I never troll here, I always say what I mean when it comes to tech, politics and economics. To mode my comments as "troll" means to declare that I do not believe and practice what I say or maybe that I am trying to start some sort of a riot. The former assumes that I am not serious, the latter assumes that everyone reading these comments camnot engage in civilized discourse, it is disgusting really, that people deny others their intentions or agency.

any amount of government, all of it makes me sick to my stomach, that is all I have to say on the topic.
