I agree, I do not know if is deliberate or not but there are other ways to prevent spam that doesn't require email verification. Like restricting ability to post/comment for some time or only allowing them to post after x number of comments etc.

In fact, reddit doesn't really have a strict email verification. you can type in whatever email you want when registering, verification is optional (idk if they changed it recently though).

They seem to have the questionnaire thing but no captcha for registration. I love that one of the 'golden rules' is 'No Tankie bullshit.' with a wikipedia article for tankie.

That was the time when the notion that Hamas would back away from its intent to destroy Israel as long as it accumulates governing and economic assets took root in Israel.

Hamas has said they would be fine with a two-state solution. Its Israel which doesn't want it to happen.

It's infinitely more likely thats what happens

Only Cable News Viewers Think Israel isn't Committing a Genocide, Survey Finds ( theintercept.com )

Americans who get their news primarily from cable are the only people who believe that Israel is not committing a genocide in Gaza, according to a new survey that examined the relationship between attitudes toward the war and news consumption habits....

Tax credits? Soy, lame.

Expropiate homes from those who have more than two.

Its funny how capitalists are behaving like low interest rates are a bad thing because people may own homes instead of giving half their income to a parasite.

Parasites don't care what the interest rates are, they just pass on any excess costs to tenants.

Step back for a moment, and the suggested policy change is remarkable. One of the most distinguished living economists is rejecting what’s been one of the most fundamental principles of economics for more than 200 years: comparative advantage. If a country can manufacture goods at lower costs than you can, you shouldn’t raise tariff barriers. Instead, you should import the goods, and send back something in return where your industry is more efficient.

This is nonsense. China (or the US) didn't get where they are with free trade.

It's not just because they want to raise money, they want to raise dollars specifically.

That said, China has been pushing companies towards domestic capital markets, which run on Yuan.

Donald Trump shares image of Joe Biden bound and gagged ( www.seattletimes.com )

Former president Donald Trump disseminated on social media on Friday an image of President Biden with his hands and feet tied and his mouth gagged, the latest example of the Republican candidate’s use of increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery this campaign season....

Israel runs on American dollars, without American dollars Israel cannot exist.

Shekel barely counts as a seperate currency.

Recent Ipsos poll shows that most people in western countries think that their country is headed in the wrong direction. ( lemmy.ml )

ikr, embarrassing. corporate propaganda works i guess.

i do wonder about the sampling bias. usually these surveys bias towards urban college educated top 25% upper caste people, they should ask lowest income quartile.

And on top of that the Government is limiting fiscal deficit, no public sector to take on the foreign sector slump. Neoliberalism is a disease.

In China meanwhile, when a recession occurs in the west the government increases domestic spending to lessen the impact. India should learn a thing or two from its neighbor.

Yet, even in those trade negotiations, India has been relatively less liberal than in the era predating Modi — angling for more state control over sundry policy issues and seeking to limit the exposure of many of its sectors to foreign competition. If India wants to attract foreign investment, it might have to change tack.

They are complaining that there are too many regulations lmao.

History has shown that export promotion policies in absence of heavy state intervention doesn't work.

Milei also talked about starting a dollarization process with the money provided by the IMF debt. However, the IMF itself has told the government, in private, that it does not want to endorse a dollarization of the Argentinian economy.

They'll need like atleast $20-30b just to replace Pesos in circulation not to mention for import/exports.

of a credit pool totaling $15 billion to accelerate the process of elimination of exchange controls and currency competition.

Looks like they want the loan so the rich can finance their capital flight.

He also claimed that the country is “going through the hardest month” and warned that this situation will extend “to the first days of April.”

Yea just like Elon's covid prediction

That is total dogshit. It would take 6 months to break even, no one knows when the etf dollar inflows will reverse.

And the fact that gpu mining is unprofitable shows how the current crypto "boom" is faker than 2021.

FuckyWucky ,
@FuckyWucky@hexbear.net avatar

yes but hackers have to use existing cpus, they can't buy new ones so it's unlikely to push up cpu prices.

I do not think the current crypto price spike is going to last very long. At some point the etf holders will sell.

Ok how does that stop far-right Zionists? Will there be a crackdown on fascists? No? They'll come back into power soon because Israel is a racist colonial ethnostate.

Yes. There are still way more horses than there would be in the wild due to domestication.

If the order of events were different, what might we be calling smartphones?

I had this shower thought earlier and I actually wanted to post it in that community. The name I came up with was SmartWalkman, but later I realized that Walkman is Sony specific, so I doubt other companies would’ve gone for that name, but I didn’t want to let this shower thought slip so here I am now asking you guys.

Outside main city? For NY it's any area outside New York City. Like Albany or Rochester.

i dont think itll be a issue. the economic crises of the past have always come from the private sector, not the Government. the mortgage rates could likely trigger a recession but not the Government debt. unless of course, the U.S. Government decides to knee-cap itself and cut spending.

This fear is echoing outside of Wall Street, too. The Black Swan author Nassim Taleb says the economy is in a “death spiral,” while Fed Chairman Jerome Powell says it’s past time to have an “adult conversation” about fiscal responsibility.

Fuck you Powell

Yea but they can create more debt or create money out of nothing (if they want to). Americans specifically have the "exorbidant privilege"

They really just want to cut spending (not military spending but welfare) using debt as an excuse

FuckyWucky ,
@FuckyWucky@hexbear.net avatar

Yea, with rise of alternate currencies, US dollar may lose the "exorbitant privilege" of being able to import whatever it wants.

However, that doesn't mean U.S. or any other country cant mobilize internal resources by creating as much money as needed. The problem with the US is that it's not investing in productive capacity, wasting away resources on military (which is always left out of the debt discussion).

There is also the fact that US and most western capitalist countries are always demand constrained because of inequality and unemployment.

Good luck to them. Regardless I'm sure it'll be forked if development stops.
