Trump already did the bailouts with the PPP loans, which largely went to big businesses and fraudsters and by muscling the Fed into intervening in corporate markets. There is very little difference on economic policy when it comes to screwing the working class in the United States.

Unfortunately "investigative journalists" like Sharyl Attkisson are respected and of influence to the right's audience. She is posting and continues to post anti-mask studies as "proof" that masks do not work. This type of thing justifies more and more anti-mask activity because she is someone who is "unbiased" and getting the "facts". Only half the facts don't equate to the whole picture, and Chinese cloth masks you can read through are far different than dual cloth masks or respirators.

TL;DR: Not enough independent media is reporting all the facts. Simply having reputable people link to and explain the mask particulate logarithmic analysis would go a long way: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/36/eabd3083

It was only a single point of the OP's that you're targeting but I have to agree (I agree with other OP points though).

Would a lower energy cost bring wages up? No reason to believe that would be the case.

Would it lower the cost of goods so that at least the working poor could have a better standard of living?

Perhaps, but how much of the cost of a good is the energy, how much labor and raw materials? Would we see even more job loss due to lower cost of energy as it becomes even cheaper still to automate?

(Edit: to be clear, OP wasn't saying lowering energy costs would do anything more than lower the cost of goods. But that statement alone, coupled with the article showing declining wages, etc. suggests OP was implying lower energy costs could reverse or stop the trends shown.)
I see your point, but in my experience way more people have heard of Forth than "concatinative language", and of those that have heard of Forth most associate it with stack oriented programming, which is at the heart of Play.

Forth also did serve as the true inspiration for Play, so it makes sense to me to put that front and center.

The removal of the gold standard removed partial value of gold as a world standard for credit. It makes sense that "something else" would take over that hierarchy — in this case oil (as a surrogate for energy as a higher concept).

A website that's got "android" in the site name is saying false things about Apple, what a surprise. There's nothing in Apple M1 that is about platform control any more than x86 in Mac was about platform control.

In fact they already allow you to install other OSes on Mac, if those OSes had support for the M1.

This is one of my great fears as a software maintainer.

It seems almost impossible for any product to ever fully shed itself of a technology. Primarily because while the initial work may yield benefits that management loves, they never prioritize finishing the job as some feature always takes priority.

The "Biden administration" doesn't determine whether we get stimulus, Congress does. And given the underlying map, it's likely to come down to whether a GOP-controlled Senate wants stimulus.

Since your comment indicates you have no idea of what's going on politically: for the past several months the D-led House has been pushing a $3T stimulus bill [1], while the R-led Senate has been trying to negotiate it down to a $0.5T stimulus [2], and generally failing to prioritize even a middle-ground negotiation in favor of court confirmations.

It's perfectly reasonable to prefer one position or the other -- generous stimulus or paltry stimulus -- but being unable to determine the two parties' positions after literally months of public wrangling on the issue is just inexcusable. This is why our country is in so much trouble.

Consider the lead/crime correlation, in which the increase in crime and incarceration rates starting in 1960 and peaking in 1991 mirrors a rise and fall of atmospheric lead offset 20 years prior.

The idea is that exposure to lead during childhood makes someone more likely to commit crime in adulthood. Those same factors would arguably make a person less employable, or at least less productive in whatever employment they did have.

But whereas crime rates can just as easily slide one way as the other over time, income distribution cannot.

>The Romans weren't particularly brutal given their time- being beaten by the Celts and being beaten by the Romans would be a similar experience.

Funny that you say that. You could say that during WW2 Germans weren't particularly brutal compared to Soviets. Aside of death camps (which weren't really Wehrmacht's thing) you could probably even say that it was Red Army which was more brutal and committed more war crimes (if only by virtue of Wehrmacht's better discipline).
True, but when you compare the price of housing, rent, higher education, or health care, or art, you'll see a different story. The Consumer Price Index (at least in the US) excludes so many things as to not be a real measure of the dollar's buying power. If the dollar isn't debasing, how do we explain so many sectors with rising prices? Is college education today really multiple times more valuable than 10 or 20 years ago, or have dollars lost real value?

Perhaps the basic consumer goods you mentioned continue to benefit from the deflationary effect of automation and technology, thus their prices fall in real terms (assuming that the dollar has lost value during the last decade, given rising prices in the sectors I mentioned).

I think we're in a period of both dollar inflation (due to the Fed's monetary policy and government's continued debt spending) and deflation (due to technology/automation and the Eurodollar system's global demand for dollars), resulting in dollar debasement while many everyday consumer items retain their nominal price or even decline in dollar terms.
You can summarise this argument, and several of the other arguments in this thread as: It was large-scale government spending financed by seignorage/inflation instead of taxes that did this. "Free money" for politicians, hidden from the electorate. Not just in America, but as a global phenomenon.

With GREAT emphasis on the fact that is was not the large-scale spending that did it in, but the hidden aspect of it.

You correctly identify the catch-22 for governments: once one government (arguably France I guess, or at least they forced the world to follow them, I guess they didn't start it) showed you could do this, other politicians in other governments had little choice but to follow suit.

In a way you can say that the breaking of the gold standard was the problem. But that's like saying in a heart attack the heart is the problem. It's not wrong, but it's of course not the root cause: it's (usually) the decades-long excess of cholesterol in your arteries, mostly due to unhealthy eating habits, that's where you should look to the root cause. Hiding increasing government expenditures is the root cause.
Another one adding to your point is huge number of women entering the workforce all at the same time. You are drastically increasing families' spending power and discretionary income = inflation.

Of course, when you double the supply of something, the price drops, which could partially explain stagnating wages. But in the early post-WWII decades it was a big win. Nowadays the negative consequences of moving away from traditional family roles are more obvious.
We have had 3 crisis in 20 years. Safe to say they have gotten some things totally wrong.
> The OPEC oil crisis was only 6 months

No, prices were super-high for more than a decade, before returning to let's say roughly double the pre-crisis price for the 90s, then spiking again.

Or regarding recent decades as normal, 1922-1972 was a window of steady low prices.

Thanks for responding, I am genuinely curious if my math is wrong so appreciate the discussion.

First, regarding "worst case side effects", I am willing to accept your premise that elevated rates of narcolepsy was in the 2009 A(H1N1) vaccine was worse, and do some math based on that.

Looking solely at deaths (let alone potential long term health risks of contracting covid). The IFR for those over 75 is about 4.6% now https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v....

If you assume that people had a 10% chance of contracting the disease, you can say that those over 75 would have approximately a 0.46% chance of dying (4.6 in 1,000 dead) if they don't get the vaccine.

If they do get a vaccine, that turns out to be as bad as Pandemrix (I believe your example of the worst case side effects), then you would expect 1 in 18400 to get narcolepsy. (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix).

So if you are a regulator looking at the elderly population, and you assume this is tied for Pandemrix, then for every 18,400 people you would assume 1 case of narcolepsy if you give the vaccine, and 84.64 dead. (85x by volume).

I don't know your opinion of "how much worse is death versus narcolepsy?". If you believe death is 10x worse than narcolepsy, then by severity and volume, taking a vaccine with the worst side effects ever would seem about 850x better than not taking it (in elderly populations). Earlier in the pandemic, when IFRs were over 2x as bad, this was well over 1,000x better.

If you are getting different math, please let me know, because even using Pendemrix, I cannot seem to justify banning vaccines on utilitarian grounds.

Now I do agree that moving responsibility from drug companies to the government is fine, but I think that can be addressed directly if that is a concern. If the argument is "without government assuming responsibility they would be too expensive", I don't think we have any proof of that, not enough for a ban.
Unless by rich people you mean lottery winners and Instagram influencers, the truly rich people have top financial education, trust funds and top wealth management companies that keep their wealth growing so they can't make mistakes.
I've had good luck with SES. I've been sending 10,000 to 300,000 emails a day for years, and I haven't heard a single complaint about getting lost in spam. My users are fairly vocal and expect to see the emails, so I feel that I would have heard about any issues by now.
> Beyond mere inflationary concerns, the Europeans and the Japanese feared that the build-up of dollars, against the backdrop of a constant US gold stock, might spark off a run on the dollar which might then force the United States to drop its standing commitment to swapping an ounce of gold for $35, in which case their stored dollars would devalue, eating into their national ‘savings’.

Isn't this an inflationary concern? The problem is that there are too many dollars for the price of gold to stay low. The devaluation has already happened regardless of whether a run has occurred; there is no way to realize the value of your "national 'savings'" without performing the run and dropping the value.

The only way for this concern to make sense is if

(1) You are committed to never spending your "savings", no matter what; but also

(2) You need the paper value of your "savings" to be a particular number, even though you will never do anything with that number other than look at it.
