    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    If you don't care about the truth, a forum is not the place for you. A forum is a place where people come together to discuss issues. If you don't believe that the fed could cripple the economy to the point of there being deflation, you're not just ignorant of basic economic theory, you're...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    It really is that simple. If you don't believe me, take an economics course. Even a 100 level student with enough mastery of the material to get an A will tell you exactly what I'm saying. Fiscal policy has nothing to do with inflation.

    The market isn't going to care who's in office. If we don't get to work and produce something, we are going to have a recession.

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    My main point that seems to be missing is that we need to blame the institution responsible--the fed. There are always winners and losers to inflation. I have wanted there to be some inflation for some time for a number of reasons (debt, real estate), although of course I'm not happy paying $6...

    Semantics is the linguistic school associated with meaning. Of course it's semantics! I think if I understand your response correctly, you simply don't want to acknowledge that you're wrong. Inflation has NOTHING to do with fiscal policy. Anyone who tells you it does is selling you snake oil.

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    The fed's decision to buy debt is monetary policy, not fiscal policy. The fed could choose not to buy the bonds and the treasury would have to sell them to someone else. Either way the fiscal policy is funded. But it's the fed decision that affect money supply--not the fiscal policy...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    No, that's absolutely not what I'm telling you. While Congress has the power to "print" money (the actual power is to coin money and determine its value), it gave that power to the Federal Reserve in 1913. Your claim was in response to a discussion about the INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, which while...

    Fiscal policy has nothing to do with inflation. Anyone who tells you that knows absolutely shit about monetary economics. "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Actually, it might. Or, more correctly, it might get very expensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Actually they probably can. Because who is and isn't a "murderer" is a matter of opinion: https://reason.com/volokh/2021/11/20/is-it-defamatory-to-call-kyle-rittenhouse-or-anyone-acquitted-of-murder-a-murderer/ The media shouldn't be using language like "murderer" anyway. But reporting the...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Statements of opinion are not actionable. MSNBC is run by a bunch of assholes. See how that works?

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Again, I'd love to see the argument. That requires analysis, break it down for me and explain how a private actor violated someone's civil rights. That means evidence and citations. Because without that, I don't see it.

    Rittenhouse Trial

    The Supreme Court made Florida follow their own law. They are allowed substantial leeway in what law they make, but they weren't allowed to make up rules as they go along. They had to follow the rules they made, which their refusal to do so created a substantial federal question that the...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    If there's a good argument for federal jurisdiction, I haven't heard it. And self defense would negate it even if there was. In the federal criminal law, we still have limited government. Which is more than we can say for most other areas.

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Or maybe, just maybe, there's way more nuance than you appreciate, because unlike me, you don't have a doctorate in the subject and haven't dedicated your life to understanding it. I can't really blame you, with the ridiculous politicization of everything, it's understandable, really. But this...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Rittenhouse's cross examination: After watching his testimony, he was the greatest witness in the trial that I've watched. What a great job.

    Rittenhouse Trial

    There are scenarios where a person would not be justified in using deadly force, even if being beaten. Whether that person "should" be beaten is really more of a moral question than a legal one. An otherwise innocent person has every right to defend himself with an appropriate level of force...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    They can be, depending on the context. Obviously there are people who have been killed with fists and boots.

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Glad to see a Harvard law professor agrees with my assessment of the prosecutor's conduct commenting on his silence. That was really outrageous.

    Rittenhouse Trial

    I actually think it'd be perfectly fine and actually quite just if every single person who assaulted an otherwise innocent person with a deadly weapon was shot.
