So obviously, realtors are not economists and have a strong bias here.  A lot of actual [economists](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-tax-deductions-economists-hate/) think the mortgage deduction is nonsense and doesn't actually promote home ownership. Countries without the deduction have about the same ownership rates as the U.S.  Worth noting that this proposal doesn't actually scrap the mortgage deduction, it just makes the standard deduction bigger. Some people will end up better off with the new standard deduction, and those with more expensive homes can keep using the mortgage deduction.  This is one of the few proposals coming out of the Republican congress that actually helps poor people more than rich people.
why basis of your source? i dont have idea about n.korea, but i want to tell iran is not like n.k nazi germany etc ! i want to say when you enter a charge, you have to prove it first! Feel free to hear all that has ever been heard from the media What made you think so?
"In Germany most terror attacks are made by right-wing guys who want to save Germany from the muslim terrorists (ironic isnt it) and most physical attacks also come from this group. So the problems comes fron people saying things like you did: Muslims are terrorists. Taking a group as a whole and given them an attribute. If you say americans are fat idiots you say all of them (allthough i did not explicitly say ALL OF THEM) This is not helping fighting obesity, it is just pure hatespeech. You still want to pass of hate as criticism.... that is just not the same. And heres a link to the sweden Problem: http://www.government.se/articles/2017/02/facts-about-migration-and-crime-in-sweden/   Do yourself a favor check your information sources because there is a ""fake news"" (i hate this expression :-) ) source in it. Sweden is a common target of right-wing manipulators which often spread simple untruths... and i hate to say it but they got in your head. You don't seem like a lost cause though, that is why im still talking to you. So please try to be more open and stay critical about information ESPECIALLY if it seems to  confirm common prejudices. Your Right about the nazis though. Ignoring isn't helping. Sadly I have other fights to fight and therefore rely on the society to go ahead with a good example and if they are out of line (hatespeech). Heres a link to what xenophobia and hatespeech in Germany led: https://www.google.de/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/23/germany-rightwing-violence-surges-asylum-seekers So you can see.... hatespeech is a huge Problem which does a lot of physical damage."
I don't need to believe Trump to know that it is true.  How many missile defense systems does Europe currently operate within Europe?  How many European countries have US military bases?    Of course, the US isn't doing this out of the kindness of our hearts.  We have something to gain from it as well.  My overall point was to put into perspective that Europe's strong social safety net is not all the result of European values.  It's also a luxury that comes from not having to spend a ton of money on it's own defense.
Get someone in your family to pay for it. If that's not an option, you have no choice but to make do with what you can do, and either get a job or a loan. I'd advise a job unless you're studying something with a really strong possibility of getting you a high paid job.
Notice how the curves parallel each other to a large degree Potentially unfounded conclusion drawn from above numbers. The rapid growth of the Indian economy, coupled with a rich cultural tradition that values gold as a symbol of wealth, along with a sudden rise in 'wealthy' people due to the economy and influx of foreign cash, has resulted in skyrocketing demand for gold from India, and this large 'consumption' demand is the most likely explanation for the sudden rise in the price of gold over the last several years. Investors then jump on the 'rising price bandwagon' as especially does anyone that can make a profit from selling gold to those seeking to get on said bandwagon. As such, as long as indian cultural tradition remains unchanged, and their economy remains strong, the resulting increasing demand for gold will sustain current and perhaps increased prices. Should there be any sudden collapse in the Indian GDP, gold will likely tumble in parallel. disclaimer: not an expert, just observations based off the data I've seen, there may be other parts to the picture of 'gold demand' that I've not considered.
I've never forgotten mine either, but it's a constant fear for me. Couple of friends of mine have. I honestly don't know which machines beep and which don't, but I've heard of people forgetting their cards in ATMs, cigarette vending machines, train ticket machines, McDonald's express order machines and some others I can't remember. The screen of these machines always reminds you, and I think it's hard to forget it, but evidently it does happen.   I still use my cards, it's not like I have a crippling fear every time I use it, I just made a habit of always carrying cash and using it for small stuff. I live in Germany, cash is (still?) Accepted everywhere.
The affordability of homes pales in comparison to the cluster fuck that would come about with a drop in population, who’s going to pay for your pension and all the other things that prop up modern society’s. The current pensioners have spent all our wealth, and we in turn have heavily indebted the next generation(s). It’s a ticking time bomb in Europe, Germany is just ahead of the game... as usual.
You could buy a money order with your cash, then mail the money order to Deutsche Bank Germany for deposit into your account. You could also buy a prepaid debit card (like a Visa/AMEX giftcard) with your cash. Then, open a new Paypal account and add this prepaid card. Finally, send money to yourself using the prepaid card as the funding source. You could use a money transfer service, like Western Union, to transfer the cash to a friend/family in Germany. Then ask them to deposit it for you at Deutsche Bank Germany.
We go for the lesser of two evils, which would be Obama. You may not think he differs significantly from Bush, but he *does* differ. Romney would be indistinguishable from Bush in terms of economic policy. More tax cuts, more austerity and more invocations of the Free Market Fairy to solve the economy through magic.  In the meanwhile we start building support for a strong candidate in 2016, someone who actually represents us instead of the 1%.
I don't think the two are particularly linked.  While Brick is right in that the price of oil is denominated in dollars, I don't think that's responsible for most of the movement here. Oil has been weak for intrinsic reasons related to oil: supply/demand imbalance, largely.  (Oil also was way over-priced back when it was > $100 a barrel; a lot of that was due to worries about instability in the Middle East.) The dollar has been strong for other, separate intrinsic reasons.  The American economy has had a stronger rebound than Europe or Asia; while we were hit hard in the 2008 recession, we rebounded pretty quickly from a whole-economy point of view (we still have a lot of weaknesses in terms of long-term unemployment, but that doesn't seem to be hurting our productivity much).   Pick another time period, and you won't necessarily see the same matching path (and I would even say that those paths don't match particularly well).  Marketwatch covered this for example; other sites show similar things.  There is a weak correlation, but only in the short term, or for specific reasons.
You've really shown your ignorance with this comment in more ways than I could count. A person's salary doesn't really have that much to do with supply and demand. In a capitalist economy, it's all about who generates additional capital for shareholders (whether private or public) and not much else.
I agree with Rogers, Russia seems to have a lot of potential.  Although their standards for democracy fall short of what is ideal, economically Russia has been on a strong upward trajectory since 2000 and will probably continue that trend as the value of commodities continues to rise.

"The cry of ""jobs"" doesn't justify environmental harm, racial prejudice, or people working without earning a livable wage.   A job that doesn't allow someone to live with dignity and have their basic needs covered shouldn't exist.    Personally, I'm all for automation. The faster they eliminate menial jobs the sooner we can start retraining our workforce for a modern economy. Hopefully, people will support the needed labor force shift."
Doesn't most of the time either in this job market. Losing a job over 40 is a pretty big deal.  Even bigger when there's a real danger of being out of work for an extended period. Honesty as a young person you have no idea how rough it is on older people to reboot a career....on top of losing more than half of your wealth and having way fewer years to recover.     There's a lot f kids right out of college that can't get jobs and that's true, but when the economy recovers there'll be a lot of you in the same boat, meaning the hiring pools won't be able to be as sticklers about no experience. Just like when the economy recovers and banks want to start lending to homebuyers in bulk again...so many people ha e bad credit from the collapse that they won't be able to set über high standards across the board in lending or the simply won't have a big pool of eligible applicants.     At some point millenials will be hired en masse as the economy recovers. The same is not nearly true for a forty something with a big unemployment gap. Over 50, forget about it almost entirely.
shorting mbs required buying a cds. part of the reason demand for mbs was so strong was because the cds was so cheap, and it seemed like risk free profit.  more people buying cds would have decreased mbs demand.  mbs are a FI security, so lower demand=higher interest rates
Land value tax is only one part of a proper tax system, and doesn't play well with free trade. Taxing land creates a competitive advantage to importing goods.  It works in the 1700s, but with free trade and cheap, efficient transportation of goods it drives local production out of business.  To properly tax land, you have to do it in a way that doesn't allow production outside your borders that earns money from your economy to escape those taxes.
It's a bold strategy cotton.   As a CEO he has every right to speak his mind on things like this, but I really can't see this having anything but negative consequences for his business. It seems like an ill thought out off the cuff comment which could potentially now snowball through various right wing communities and lose him some customers.   I'm sure there are a lot of CEOs and business owners out there who have strong political views - especially in the current climate - but ultimately the vast majority suck it up and remind themselves that a customer's political allegiance doesn't make their money worth any less.
It's rather evident that, despite the nay-sayers, food prices will go down due to this deal. Amazon is laser-focused on two things: making things cheaper and getting things to you faster. They've developed/ are developing a strong base of knowledge and development in machine learning, robotics, and blockchain, which would greatly facilitate these two tasks. However, as stated in the article, this will not have a significant effect on inflation due to the fact that the economy makes up for it in other respects (*cough* rising tuition and oil prices *cough*). It's interesting to note that food inflation was warned against by several experts within the past two years but this deal might change that (see: https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/summary-findings.aspx ).
And emphysema. Smoking causes that. Cannabis also don't have strong pain killing properties...so using it as a pain killer would suck. Just because it's not addictive, you can still develop physical dependency on weed.  I'm not against weed, but I feel it's important to throw in all the facts and let people make an informed decision on whether they want to partake or not.  Opioids are highly addictive. It's a great pain killer through. If controlled properly, it does work.
As soon as the USA left the gold exchange standard, total factor productivity began to dramatically stagnate.   We can trace it back to the early 1900s, but because of electricity, oil, automobiles and computers it is best to track it from Nixon taking us off the gold standard:  http://azizonomics.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/tfp.jpeg  Coincidence? I don’t think so — a fundamental change in the nature of the money supply coincided almost exactly with a fundamental change to the shape of the nation’s economy. Is the simultaneous outgrowth in income inequality a coincidence too?  Keynesians may respond that correlation does not necessarily imply causation, and though we do not know the exact causation, there are a couple of strong possibilities that may have strangled productivity:  1.Leaving the gold exchange standard was a free lunch for policymakers: GDP growth could be achieved without any real gains in productivity, or efficiency, or in infrastructure, but instead by just pumping money into the system.  2.Leaving the gold exchange standard was a free lunch for businesses: revenue growth could be achieved without any real gains in productivity, or efficiency.  And it’s not just total factor productivity that has been lower than in the years when America was on the gold exchange standard — as a Bank of England report recently found, GDP growth has averaged lower in the pure fiat money era (2.8% vs 1.8%), and financial crises have been more frequent in the non-gold-standard years.  Bottomline, it is the best explanation for a fall in productivity even factoring in computers.
I get upset everytime I see this. Where a part is made is a small percentage of how much it affects and benefits the us economy. If Ford manufactured each and every car in Mexico it would still have a bigger positive on the us economy than Toyota. Toyota profits, r and d, marketing, design and a bunch of other niche jobs required for the automaker stay overseas in Japan. So does the tax revenue from those jobs and profits. A us ceo will pay more in income taxes than a 1000 factory workers.   If we lose the ability to design and engineer products we're screwed. It will never come back. There will always be a cheaper place to make goods. That's the wrong rabbit to chase.
"In the US, ""business class"" doesn't normally exist.  Major carriers have Economy or First.  And I bet you can count on one hand the number of employers who will spring for a domestic first ticket for rank-and-file employees."
Technically he isn't in charge of it. But that's part of the problem.   You only have a chance of enacting meaningful political and social change and progress if you run on a platform of strong ideas that enjoy broad popular support, AND those ideas are actually good ones that solve real world problems without creating too many new ones, AND you have a team in place quickly that is competent, skilled and capable of deploying your agenda efficiently.   Trump has none of those.
Puerto Rico isn't Algeria. Lending to Algeria is relatively simple as they live and die on the price of oil. Puerto Rico is far more complex and doesn't have a basic resource export economy. Lending to Algeria is a pure oil play and is far less dependent on credit ratings. If Puerto Rico's debt investors take the hit, there isn't a line of lenders throwing money at them.
Yeah but now imagine you're a third worlder and earn the average national salary. Suddenly such private clinics are not as easily available anymore.  It's a decent option for westerners to go to let's say Eastern Europe to get lasik surgery. There it's pocket money compared to what the'd charge in Germany.  But the people in Eastern Europe don't have that option.  ninja edit: Not saying Eastern Europe is third world. It's a separate example.
Coming to London at this point of time is not a wise decision, not that I mean to discourage you. The job market is quite competitive because loads of developers are in the markets, because of the layoffs. So be ready to wait for some time to land a role. Banks aren't recruiting that heavily, but that might change if the economy picks up. Regarding salaries, the contract rates you quote are primarily for banking sector jobs, some outside banking also pay those rates, but they are few.  You can quote what you want to a recruiter, most contracts are through them as most managers have a fincancial get go between recruiters and themselves. Recruiters take their cut what they bill, 400+200(just a guess). So the more they take from the 400, better is their margin. So they try to decrease the 400 portion. But the important point is be ready to keep your chair warm for some time. I am not sure why you have to move to London. Keep your current job. Get a Skype number or something and get the calls diverted to your phone in Germany. You can come down to London for interviews and schedule them so you come in a week and give all your interviews. London is a costly place, you can find cheap places to stay too. But without a job and searching for one will get you depressed(been there and experienced it)
"You're asking an intensely debatable question.   You'll have some people believe that the short-term effects on tax cuts will be an increase in the deficit, but long-term provide more economic prosperity that then eventually translates into higher tax revenue (the Laffer Curve). You'll have others state that it'll simply increase government debt and make us even more indebted, and the benefits of tax cuts will be marginal at best.  Large enough shocks, such as a war, cause market downturns due to heightened uncertainty. These are pretty unavoidable (we had a small shock with North Korea's nuke test).   &gt; I ask because the economic fundamentals of U.S/Western Europe are strong.  Why do you think this?   &gt; B. What will be the geopolitical result? Does China back NK to prevent a immigration crisi/power vacuum or do they side with the UN/U.S and allow military destruction of NK in the event of a NK-started war?  Also intensely debatable. Does China grow too tired of NK and simply acquire it itself? Does it keep it separate as a distraction to pin down U.S. attention? Does the U.S. pre-emptively strike NK leadership? Does it leave a vacuum there, close enough that China can keep an eye on it, or does it ""surge"" like Iraq? Would South Korea get it?   These are extremely open-ended questions that could have debates rage around them for years."
Mental conditions such as dyslexia , dispraxia and even forms of autism commonly occur amongst the old familes in the UK . If anything they give people who have them an edge because they have to work that much harder to deal with the problems .  The UK , like a lot of Europe , has a strong emphasis on civility and social skills and , as such , anyone with mental conditions is not given a free ride . They are understood and supported but they are expected to get their act together .
Through talking with the head of our finance department yesterday and a few BI guys, i think i'm gonna learn SQL and Python so I can then move on to something like Tableau with a strong base.   The company will pay for my training of it so I'm lucky with that. Do you have any specific ways you recommend I learn SQL/Python?   I know of CodeAcademy but haven't done too much other research.
"Cutting workers instead of creating jobs.... that sounds logical--the epitome of a healthier economy!  If Mr. Billionaire-Whiner can't handle losing one or two billion of his multiple billions, he should just quit (looks due past his retiring age anyway) and give the company to someone who can run it without being a pussy.  Way for David Siegel to obliterate First Amendment rights.    ""Over the past four years I have had to stop building my dream house, cut back on all of my expenses, and take my kids out of private schools simply to keep this company strong and to keep you employed.""  Hahaha oh wow, seriously??  I feel bad for people who have to work with a CEO who's that much of a public dick.  Hey David, ever wonder what your EMPLOYEES have to sacrifice to keep *their* jobs??? Y'know, your **employees** right?  The people who keep your fucking company afloat???  Without them, you wouldn't have your billions!  If you think you're so well-off without your workers, why don't you fire them all and run the company yourself?  That way you could keep all that you earn.  Go ahead.  Let's see what happens.  No dream house when your current house is probably a million-dollar mansion?  Boo-fucking-hoo.  Excuse me as I pull out my tiniest violin...."
"This ""article"" is a piece of fucking trash. There is no argument here. It's just, ""well doesn't that sound ridiculous?"" No definition of ""societal value"" or even ""society"" is ever given at all. No consideration of the value of a strong economy is given; no specific, quantitative arguments are provided; and no credit is given to capitalism not only for lifting billions of people from crippling poverty to recently unimaginable wealth, but for being the only system to ever do so.   Are food, shelter, and clothing basic human needs? Obviously. How do most people attain these needs? By working for a wage/salary for some company, which are reliant on a functional financial system. Derp."
&gt; They will turn to commodities and energy the only things in the past decade besides entrepreneurial investments which have increased in value to society.  There's a strong argument to be made that entrepreneurial investments are the only ones that *should* increase in value.  Tulip mania of any sort doesn't add value.  All other sources of returns - holding risk constant - are constantly trying to get cheaper financing, through financial engineering or a greater supply of capital due to the magic of compound interest.  That's why you can get a mortgage at 6% instead of 16% like in the old days.
&gt; Do you know what the Bahamian fiscal policies are?  Yes.  Yet are a no income, estate, and wealth tax country.  They have payroll tax that amount to almost 4%, and that us what funds their social services and infrastructure.  However, only 10% off their GDP comes from manufacturing, so they have vey little need for strong infrastructure. That would change drastically if countries stopped bringing money into the country from tourism and banking.  They are basically living off of and depending on the income of wealthy, tax strong nations.
