@BernieSanders Yes we must fight technological progress.

Amazon says that it’s going to replace 600,000 workers with robots. Other companies are moving in the same direction. How will working families feed their kids and pay their bills? We’ve got to fight back.

@aguy4u2chere @HouseMajPAC Your money isn't sitting in a little basket, retard.

@HouseMajPAC Okay. Give me back the around $120,000 I've paid into it during my working life. Cash, please.

GOP Rep. Ryan Zinke says he wants to cut Social Security and affordable health care to "fix" the budget.

@VladTheInflator 3 is good

Boomers want to inflate their home prices and dump them on young people. This dipshits 4 part plan: 1. Down-payment assistance 2. Lower interest costs 3. Regulatory reform / cutting red tape 4. Expanded incentives for homebuilders Translation: 1. Let broke fucks buy houses using taxpayer money to inflate prices 2. Inflate prices 3. Whatever the fuck that means with no goal 4. Pad builder profits, no goal

@MikeRogersForMI Let me guess, everything except anything that could lower home prices.

ICYMI: No one should be priced out of the American Dream. I’m fighting for Michigan’s working families — so that owning a home is actually attainable.

@Dr_Gingerballs @jasonfurman It's all voodoo nonsense by people who want to justify their desire to control the economy.

Here's a great example. And I actually think both of the economists are overstating any evidence. They are both astrologists. But one of the first claims out of Burman was that higher fed funds rates result in lower inflation rates and lower unemployment rates. This cannot be concluded from the data. It simply can't. It's astrology. If anything, if you ignore the last cycle, higher rates are positively correlated with higher inflation. But what the last cycle shows us is that the correlation really isn't that strong and is likely driven by other factors that aren't controlled for by the fed. Same thing with unemployment. If you look at the data in aggregate, the correlation is almost zero, and if anything, is slightly positive. If you arbitrarily section the data into cohorts you can manipulate it to match the theory, but that's not how rigorous statistics works. There is zero evidence that high rates lower inflation or employment. Zero. Yet economists will scream it until the day they die, because their religious belief demands it. Evidence be damned, my theory is better than your reality.

The single worst interview I've ever done was with Jon Stewart. I normally try to be calm and level-headed but I basically lost it with him. And worry that I lost viewers/listeners too, doing more to convince them that economists were obnoxious than that we had useful insights.

@cherrygarciafan @phyllis_izant

@phyllis_izant Congrats, however that doesn’t change the probability for the population as a whole which was the point of my post and the accompanying chart.

First child at 35. Second child at 38. Yes, my choices were my destiny. Married 29 years and still going strong. Best choice ever. Would I do it differently? Nope.

@HbdNrx "fun"

Yes, these aren't exactly traditional family values, but I would caution everyone on the right against becoming the no-fun party.

@AutismCapital @Dexerto yeah but way less annoying and retarded

@Dexerto Almost the cost of an actual girlfriend.

An AI company has built a biometric robot designed for human companionship Moya is equipped with body heat, dense skin, and costs around $173,000

@tayinabottle13 @Dexerto yes this is fucked up personally i am going to stick to abusing real women out of solidarity

@Dexerto tfw no biometric robot gf

@hamptonism chartslop

an overlay of 2008 & 2026… why is nobody talking about this…

@DeItaone >starting

FED'S BOSTIC: I'M STARTING TO SEE QUESTIONS ABOUT CONFIDENCE IN THE US DOLLAR

@tedfrank okay but what if he returns

Anyway, if you’re in a country that lets you bet on this, “No” pays 5.4% APR between now and the end of the year.

So the reason this Polymarket “prediction market” is performing so insanely high is because there’s a second market asking if this market will go above 5%. People in the derivative market are manipulating this market. Which defeats the public policy case for prediction markets…

@VladTheInflator im sure the government will bail all these people out

14% of the 8.2m FHA home loans are now delinquent

@GabeGuidarini If we did anything even remotely resembling "market fundamentalism" the housing market would collapse tomorrow.

The push to abolish property taxes and replace them with a sales tax is a blatant wealth transfer from an already struggling young generation (which is effectively prevented from owning property) to a comparatively well-off old. This would be unthinkable to historic Americans who believed in the obligation we hold to our posterity:

@_rotimia >Helping seniors stay in their homes matters. No it doesn't.

Helping seniors stay in their homes matters. But when property tax relief is targeted only at seniors, local revenue has to come from somewhere. That means higher taxes on younger homeowners/renters, many of whom are already paying more for housing than previous generations.

This is effectively a tax increase on millennial families who are just starting out. Boomer communism plays well nationally because courting the 65+ vote is good presidential politics, but it shifts the burden onto younger households already stretched thin.

@Westchester_Res >why do you hide meds

why do you hide? are your arguments that bad? seems so.

@Westchester_Res if you still dont get it i dont know what to tell you. go read my posts again in the original thread. i explained it very clearly

only you can't sell if you have negative equity. how do you not understand that? and in the long run the only losers are the ones who stop paying. you need to stop thinking re is a short term investment.

@crypttrade8 @me_marco @GeorgeSelgin blockchain is a useless technology that has seen no real world adoption outside of greater fool crypto grifts in the 15 years its been around

@me_marco @GeorgeSelgin I love comments like this. People will one day wake up with their entire life being on blockchain. Seriously I dont like this, nevertheless it is a reality. Pandora box opened and its inevitable

An insult to Mises. Many people have no choice but to deal in and hold dollars; and many oppose irresponsible fiat policy, and inflation (which hardly “props up” their holdings) as much as any Bitcoin maxi. What’s inexcusable is lame attempts to justify a gov’t Bitcoin bailout.

@crypttrade8 @GeorgeSelgin you want the government to tax you in order to open a nationalized hedge fund? fucking commie

@GeorgeSelgin You're nonsensical If the gov buys into bitcoin its not a bailout. Its called investing. Sorry but you don't redefine reality. Attempts to do so just makes one a jackass
