Two important foundational works are Markus and Kitayama's Culture and the self: Implications for cognition, emotion, and motivation, and Triandis' Individualism and Collectivism. I am not a social psychologist so I don't have a really simple introduction that I can recommend (due to lack of familiarity!). But I have seen how, in a related field, overly simplistic and un-nuanced applications of what is actually a pretty complicated framework has lead to shoddy research and bad conclusions. That's why I called it out here.
Maybe if it's not in the middle of an urban area the rules don't need to be strict.
“Printing money” isn’t a literal description, its a metaphor for a bunch of other “loose money” monetary policy choices which increase the money supply including, not alternative to, maintaining low interest rate targets (in fact, most of the other actions are the means by which actual rates are kept near the target rates, rather than actions in addition to acheiving rate targets), which is an ongoing intervention.
Thanks! I really should read up on this stuff at some point. I've actually never had to do any windows coding, so my knowledge about it is sorely lacking.
> Twitter is very toxic. It gives very dogmatic people an oversized cudgel to beat others over with.

Yeah, it's basically a distributed mechanism for organizing villagers with pitchforks and torches to burn witches, throw Jews down wells, or lynch blacks.

I do not think history is going to agree that this was a good idea.
I fail to see how it is possible to present a good faith argument about how Google is a public utility when the required infrastructure that Google is built on is not.

If ISPs aren’t a utility then Google can’t be. I also don’t think this is being pursued in good faith which is the sadder part.
>Drought has been part of CA's climate history for centuries

Tens of millions of people and mass agriculture have not.

You're just going by the comment above aren't ya there bud?

The great reset is something that was discussed in the open, even if it is pretty lol. Covid lab leak looks highly likely at this point, multiple governments around the world are now owning up to the bullshit they fed us we knew were lies all along, fake news msnbc is literally on the record promoting propaganda against trump and purposely downplaying if not dismissing any news that may potentially help the man. While not widespread, nor anywhere near enough to tip the election, voter fraud was very real, every instance of it was dismissed and ignored when some of it very much needed further investigation.

Oh and those peaceful protests never were.

This is me, a liberal.

I'm not a Republican or a crazed conservative, I just have by eyes open and don't give a crap what tribe you're on.
Since you understand politics so well you understand Mayor Breed can't unilaterally write housing policy. She has to work with the Board of Supervisors. The Board is dominated by a group of politicians that aren't really YIMBY supported as far as I know.
It's small payments what are are mostly done in cash, like the $0.20 bus fare, $1.25 lunch, $0.50 soda or $0.25 tortillas. There is no widespread electronic alternative for those payments yet here.

Free mobile banking accounts have been available for a while in El Salvador, and can be opened with a selfie and a photo of your national ID. They are only avaialble for those 18+ and older though.
It’s worth noting those Black Rock holdings are almost certainly through indexed mutual funds and ETFs.

If you calculated the ownership across all banks in the US Blackrock would not own nearly so high a percentage.
A bit late to the convo, but we literally just signed over the contract of our house in Austin.

5 days on the market, 4 offers, 1 family, 1 family trust, 2 investment firms. All offers 20-50k over asking, 0 conditions.
If they’re paying 20-50% above asking, does that mean they’re expecting inflation to subsidize their borrowing to buy these houses?
How are old people with no income supposed to afford capital gains taxes?

And if house prices go down do they get a refund?
People and organizations with wealth are dumping their money into the stock market or real estate because the dollar is being intentionally devalued.

Your complaint is the label? Great Reset sounds apt.
Something like prop 13 isn't the only way to avoid that.

Some jurisdictions allow you to defer property tax indefinitely in the form of a lien against the house which seems like a reasonable way to do it.
>> by paying 10 dollars per transaction

I really wish comments would be more focused on telling the whole story rather than focusing on outdated information.

Lightning transactions are cheap and fast - so this argument is misinformed.

A core reason for El Salvador to adopt Bitcoin might be related to remittance - big part of their GDP is based on remittance and this will save people money.

Who would you buy stock in if you could?
I suppose so, but it seems needlessly complicated for what could just be a simple statue.
I changed "you" to "people" since I meant it in the general sense of how self-proclaimed skeptics treat this topic and say condescending things like this:

> You may be living in a small set of filter bubbles compared to the average.
I think you have your custodial/non-custodial terminology mixed up.

If you aren’t holding the keys that control your funds the entire time, it’s a custodial service. If USD is involved in any form besides paper cash in your own hands, it’s a custodial service.
