> Every wage earner becomes more wealthy as their rate of pay buys more.

Income is not the same as wealth. Savers become wealthier, debtors (such as anyone with a mortgage) lose wealth.

> Sticky wages arent a problem with deflationary money.

Um, what? Your last sentence was all about how deflationary money guarantees wage earners increasing pay in real terms. That makes the sticky wages problem much worse.
US and Canada are very into southern politics, to do a lot of coal/oil/etc mining very below the actual worth, because it is always so much cheaper to lobby local politicians, who get elected year after year because they control the big media chain, making the whole circle of corruption and then labeling it democracy and capitalism
Trials on masks universally fail to take into account the field results. And that’s where they fall down. Mask effectiveness relies on purity - everybody doing things with military (or medical) precision.

The short of it is that people don’t stick rigidly to the effectiveness requirement. Hence why states and countries that stop compulsion don’t see any deviation in the rate of change.

Like HCQ it works in the lab, but not in real life.

What’s disturbing is why so many people still believe they do - and why they desperately want them to work - which moves into the political and religious (“I’m pure - it’s everybody else that isn’t”) rather than the scientific.

At this stage it’s become like carrying posies to ward off the Black Death.

I think you are underselling both modern Keynesian economists and the original writings of Keynes, and not really following these through to their logical conclusion.

Specifically, Keynes argued for driving down the rate of interest to zero permanently -- he believed this could be done in a single generation:

"On such assumptions I should guess that a properly run community equipped with modern technical resources, of which the population is not increasing rapidly, ought to be able to bring down the marginal efficiency of capital in equilibrium approximately to zero within a single generation; so that we should attain the conditions of a quasi-stationary community where change and progress would result only from changes in technique, taste, population and institutions, with the products of capital selling at a price proportioned to the labour, etc., embodied in them on just the same principles as govern the prices of consumption-goods into which capital-charges enter in an insignificant degree.

If I am right in supposing it to be comparatively easy to make capital-goods so abundant that the marginal efficiency of capital is zero, this may be the most sensible way of gradually getting rid of many of the objectionable features of capitalism."
- General Theory Chapter 17

If you really follow this thread to its logical conclusion, you see an incredible arrogance and desire for state control that is a lot more than just "stimulating the economy during a recession"

This was news to me and it turns out that this is indeed the case: https://e-visa.ie/usa/news/iran-and-esta. They mention the 1st of March, 2011 as the cut off point, but I haven't been able to suss out why it's that date exactly. I'm guessing it has to do with the Arab Spring, but that is just conjecture. Hopefully someone can correct me if I am way off base.
At best this boils down to the idea that people don’t always know what’s best for them and a disaster is necessary to move things forward. Occasionally maybe that’s the case but it’s pure luck when it happens. It’s the same as saying that energy efficient modern windows are more efficient in the long term so if someone doesn’t want to replace their old aluminum window, breaking it will actually be good for them. Maybe, but it’s not something that required the accidental destruction...
I guess I just dislike this notion that getting lucky somehow disproves the fallacy. Fallacies are about errors of reasoning, not about conclusions or outcomes.

> Second, not all violent entities are created equal. Cartel members are motivated by greed and lust for power. Many are willing to employ tactics such as torture and terrorism to advance those goals

First world governments are known to employ torture and terrorism to achieve their goals, but it's abstracted away as much as possible. While I think the same motivations of greed and power lust exist in governments too, I do agree there is a big difference between cartels and "good" governments: a good government represents the will of the people, and has checks and balances to at least reduce the brazenness and frequency of their violent excesses.

To me, the takeaway is that we can't really rely just on individuals to run moral power structures, but that we need to encode these values into the rules of structure itself - the democratic principles, laws, and enforcement - to get a decent approximation of a civil society. I don't know the details of cartel governance, but I imagine it's authoritarian without much oversight.
Ketamine allows me to view my reactions to every/all stimuli without a default/reactionary emotional impulse.

Illegal? Possibly. It's being debated according to Danish news.

Controversial? Yes, to the extent that Denmark managed to piss off every single neighboring country. Also, Denmark is actively trying to avoid shutting down some illegal monitoring of its' own citizens, and this is pouring more fuel on that fire.

Spying on Germany caused a political shitstorm the last time it was im the Danish news and now it has been revealed Denmark spied on others too, I suspect that circus will be repeated.

I think most of what you just posted has very little to do with what OP posted.

Due process, btw, isn't some inherent property of states. Lots of states were with pretty capricious forms of justice.

I happen to agree with OP that if the state failed, then these gangs would rapidly take their place, but without the trappings of liberalism that are part of modern Mexico's government. However, I also happen to think that it is not analogous to how states form because these gangs rely on the state; they are more like parasites on the body politic. Sometimes parasites kill their hosts though.

With most companies, the issue is that the person you are dealing with is not someone you will have a relationship with. It will not be your new manager. It will be someone from HR. They'll have a salary range, and will be willing to move to near the top depending on how much the hiring manager says how good you are. At an individual level, they don't care if you "trust" them.

If you're asking for something beyond their upper bound, they'll have a few other levers to offer you (more stock, one time sign on bonus, etc). But keep in mind: If the manager said you were "good, but not great", they're not going to go much higher than their initial offer to you.

In all these scenarios, they have zero incentive to discuss how they came up with that number. If you indicate you can't trust them if they don't, they'll agree and drop you and look for another candidate. The HR person is dealing with multiple hires for multiple positions. He/she doesn't have the time to do a detailed discussion with every one. What's more, what is the point of them sharing it? Put yourself in their shoes. They've come up with a compensation strategy for the whole company. If they're offering below market and they know it, your pointing it out to them doesn't strengthen your position. They know the information your providing them. If they were trying to save money, they'll increase the offer. If their policy is to underpay, they're not going to raise the offer unless the hiring manager indicated you're well above average.

> and apply the right amounts of awkward silence.

Silence is awesome for certain scenarios, but not when dealing with an HR person on a compensation package. Remember: Your asking a question (like the one in your comment) does not throw the ball in their court. They'll either ignore you or give you a canned response. Every offer has a deadline, and they'll ping you again near the deadline. If you continue the silence, they'll withdraw the offer and move on.

If you're joining a small company/startup, your tactics will work. Not so with established companies.

There are stories here on HN about people who had been hired, but were not happy with some of the paperwork they were being asked to sign on their first day on the job. They stood their ground and that was their last day at work. If a company is willing to do that after they've gone through the headache of hiring a person, then don't assume that you have any decent leverage with notions of "it's too painful for them to withdraw an offer and hire another person - they'd rather negotiate."
I think most people would consider the violence and murders associated with cartels more of a negative externality than coke & weed addicts.

61% of Mexico's drug exports (by dollar value) is marijuana. 61,000 people in Mexico vanished related to drugs / cartels last year. 105 people were killed in a single day. 40,000 people were killed by cartels between 2006-2010 alone [1].

The overdose crisis in the US was mostly created by our own pharmaceutical industry. Recently, Mexico started supplying SOME of the Fentanyl. The vast majority of it comes from China - either directly or indirectly through Mexico [2].

I think it's probably most accurate to say that there are democracies of different sizes. Your country is a more of democracy as more people have equal agency over their government. This obviously has never happened to a complete extent, and it's still an open question whether that should happen. But a discrete separation between "democracies" and "not democracies" will run into these sorts of problems in any case.
I'm not familiar with ketamine at all, but it just feels unsafe to decide by ourselves. Do psychiatrists have to monitor patients closely and determine the amount and frequency of doses? I wouldn't mind taking medicine for a cold or other common diseases. but could this be a lot risker?
For anyone else who doesn't know what Google Photos ForYou is:

The name of the tab has always felt like an implication that Google Assistant is creating these things, but it can be confusing if you’re not familiar with it. Google is changing the name of this tab to “For You.”

I love watching sports. (US football, basketball etc.)

I don't need the see post game interviews. It's nice to watch them, but don't need them. I can see how tough it is for athletes to have to talk to reporters about losses. It's hard enough being an professional sports athlete.

Leave the game on the court not the locker room.

If that isn't hard enough, then they have to deal with social media. Where everybody is a critic.

Had similar problem some years ago in VA..
went to take the ged at 15 - signed up, then was told 16 was min age.
Went back a year later, signed up, got told the state law was changed to 17 that year - and it went into effect on my bday.
Went back year later, they changed it to 18 I was then told.

Guess it helps the schools get money by enrolling people that can't test out, I dunno. I wanted college bad at 15 and 16. By 18 I started seeing many things differently - still took it at 18 and passed just to do it. By then I'd seen many go to college and come out worse off than they went in, and was no longer enamoured with the whole college degree equates to success thing.

I believe people should be able to test out and test up - and for many people that would mean skipping more of what is sold as high school and become vocational training or what have you.

Man, there's some bad advise here.

"I'm very eager to start, and can accept the offer immediately for $X/hr, but if this is the best you can do I'll need Y days to get back to you."

If you phrase it this way, there's basically zero chance they'll revoke the offer they've already extended - it'll just make them a tiny bit worried they've lowballed you and think you might be entertaining other options.

They're not. They aren't profitable. They have never been profitable. They admit that they would not have been profitable even without COVID last year. They do not expect to be profitable until Q4 of this year - if you remove half their costs and their assumptions hold. They do not expect to actually be profitable (even on EBITDA) for even longer.

The case here is that coca traffickers and producers are very different. Producers the bottom of the chain, who live in the violence, sometimes they’re threatened if they try to change their crops. Traffickers are the ones that have got into politics, actively sabotaging any effort of legalization, while also controlling the mass media, and preaching under the blessing of US drug fight.
