What if the Fed buys bonds? Why did bond yields plummet after the Fed's liberal printing in 2008?

Is it possible you're misidentifying the zero-sum assumptions of economics as "not stupid" when in fact not taking advantage of the positive sum nature of financial economics is the real stupidity?

Why ignore finance? Why not borrow money and have the Fed print to cover bad loans if there's a panic?

"We think our product is great/safe/reliable/... but no we absolutely won't stand behind it if anything goes wrong."

Do you now understand what it feels like to be a tree-hugger in Washington state, fruitlessly petitioning the Department of Natural Resources for redress of grievances, as logging rolls on unabated?

Do you recognize yet how your negative mood on AI is not going to stop it, and post here because misery loves company?

Its very simple.

Cost of living adjustments for everything including savings?

Ai: "According to Fischer and Modigliani (1978), a fully indexed economy is an idealized system where all financial contracts, tax systems, and accounting procedures automatically adjust for inflation, neutralizing its real economic effects. This framework assumes nominal institutions, such as tax systems and debt contracts, are replaced with real-terms adjustments that keep real interest rates constant. Read the full NBER paper at nber.org."

Unless this is really about fidelity to economics and not software, can you imagine the pure engineering productivity unleashed if engineers had a decent guaranteed inflation-proofed basic income and didn't have to listen to bosses telling them to artificially restrict access and features due to advertiser pressure?

No drug necessary.

The Underlying issue is: Why are some people depressed?

If we understand that, it is very likely that no drug will be necessary. People won't become depressed.

Windows is crashing because users are doing things that cause crashes.

This issue needs to be investigated in MUCH more detail.

I don't have crashes.

Then why did Modigliani and Fisher say in their 1978 paper "Towards an understanding of the real costs of inflation": "The traditional view that because money is neutral, inflation produces no appreciable real effects is shown to hold approximately only for an economy whose institutions are fully inflation proof, e.g. a fully indexed one.", and why can't we fully index the economy?

Why did Israel use full indexation for decades while increasing their standard of living? What if the decision in the 1980s to use price controls instead of indexation was an arbitrary mood; why couldn't they have kept indexation going forever (they still use it today in fact)?

If your income goes up immediately with prices, why would you care about nominal inflation, because even if gas went to $10/gallon your income increase would allow you to buy the same amount you always did without losing any money?

Since the US currency has lost some 90+% of its value since the country's founding, yet the US is the world's premier superpower, hasn't indexation been used implicitly to keep real purchasing power rising even as nominal inflation has risen?

Do you just have a mood affiliation against indexation and no sound argument?
