  • So if I understand correctly, the reason it’s outdated is not because we don’t need those pesky banking regulations any more, but that it has been found that banks will just take out their own loans to cover the reserves they need from the central bank, so they can just lend as much as they want, no seatbelts. And the central bank will never run out of loans to give, since they have insane reserves, in their own currency it is technically unlimited.

    So money is not really the thing we think it is. If banks overextend themselves and fuck up, the only thing we’ll see instead of failing banks is runaway inflation in the consumer and asset (housing) markets. Wonder where I’ve seen that.





  • And yet if not for his actions, it would have never come to light that the US military murdered a bunch of innocent people including Reuters journalists in 2007. I know it sucks how Wikileaks curates info, and ideally this should be handled in a way that’s less exploitable by foreign governments, but to me, it seems they are vigilantes doing stuff because the US justice system wouldn’t.

    I mean, look at the Trump prosecution. If you had proof of the DNC doing its antidemocratic shit to prevent anyone who is not in big corp pockets getting elected, does the Trump prosecution inspire confidence that if you just made a police report, anything would happen?









  • My native has 19 cases with 2-3 variations of each for vowel harmony. Plus verbs are partially conjugated for both the subject and the object, so I see you, you see me, they see it are all one word sentences each, just conjugated differently. I see myself is a two word sentence though, with both words conjugated.Other simple sentences are also collapsed into conjugation hell, “You could take me home” is one such heavily conjugated word.

    But no genders, and only two and a half temporal tenses, and pronunciation is directly matched to text, no pronunciation guides or spelling bees.
