Comment Law of one price? (Score 1) 52

If you drop rational pricing theory, why hold to old wives' tales about inflation?

If prices are noisy to at least plus-or-minus 7%, what does 3% inflstion mean? Could inflstion stats be noise, resulting from a random price at the particulsr time the survey was taken?

If inflation is noisy, why not adapt to it using indexation instead of sticking to ancient fantasies about the quantity theory of money?

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?

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.
