KillingTimeItself

you realize places without elections still have them, they just mean nothing right?

he doesnt even have to touch the military, just has to certify fraudulent voter slates, that’s it.

trump just barely failed to steal it last time, this time he has the fucking supervillain crackpot team behind him.

If he wants to do it, all he has to do is make the call.

He has the executive, he has the house, he has the senate, he will most likely completely have the supreme court, there is literally nobody to tell him no anymore.

anywhere from not really, to literally world war 3.

trump is a loose cannon.

We do not win here.

Which of those projects will be ready by the time China invades Taiwan in early 2025? And how will those factories absorb all the global orders for chips when they’re not ready?

for one, there’s no guarantee. Trump should want to protect taiwan, as it’s a strategically convenient point of interest.

You are agreeing with me. Fabs are hard. Our people are stupid.

well sort of, your argument is “well its hard and difficult so why should we ever try” my argument is “doing literally anything at all is going to be a better move.”

Their people are smart. If their people are tied up in a war and dying, and their fabs are destroyed, and our fabs are half built

yeah idk i think they would probably move to the US. The place where they are most likely to be able to fabricate again.

you are unironically concern trolling with this post.

nice shitpost homie, maybe if you had some reading comprehension you would be able to understand the intellectual argument here.

“NUH UH UR WRONG L TAKE DUMBASS” this is literally you right now.

You mean one of the things the Biden admin bragged about?

yeah.

Good thing the incoming administration isn’t petty enough to nuke anything associated with the previous administration…

that would be unfortunate.

Remember when the US government gave the telecoms billions to build gigabit internet infrastructure nationwide and they fuckin just didn’t do it?

me too, i also remember in 1930, when the great depression happened. I don’t see the relevance here though.

shit in r&d is not like throwing money at big corpo and hoping they do what you want. If you don’t turn out results in r&d, it’s a dead field.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act#Project_announcements

plenty of project announcements, idk if you think the government can’t like, build buildings or something, even though they can make the interstate highway system. But in defense of the CHIPS, building fabs is really fucking hard, costs billions of dollars, and takes many, many years.

so basically the entire reason you voted for trump is schizophrenic economics. When you could’ve voted for kamala harris, who has actual real tangible economic policy.

They should’ve at least looked into Trumps claims even if they were fabricated.

to be clear, trump has made 10x the amount of public claims, privately, every single one was either incredibly illegal. Or fucking wrong. Not a single one was correct.

selfaware lemmy.ml user? based.

and he can afford the best doctors.

“and he can afford the best doctors.”

seems like they didnt to me.

It’s not enough to wine that the voters are too stupid,

this is ultimately the problem though. The voter base is fucking retarded, and it’s fuelled by a massive propaganda machine. There is literally nothing we can do here.

i mean, we’re literally building fabs under the CHIPS act right now.

to most people is how much stuff costs.

inflation to most people is an increase in the cost of stuff* FTFY

also to be clear, the goal is that wages rise to meet the increased inflation, that’s the historical trend.

Only the wealthy would hold on to their money, which they’re already doing.

to be clear, “holding” on to money is innately going to be investing. Not only is holding onto significant piles of cash incredibly sketchy, it’s also really bad financial strategy, because you lose money over time, so you’re highly incentivized to invest the money you don’t actively need, into something that can do productive work for the market economy instead.

If we’re talking corporate money, which is different, and not the type of money you mentioned, things work a bit differently, but generally the mechanism is roughly the same, with some tax benefits, and mechanisms to create productivity rather than provide it instead. There are some funny things you can do like stock buybacks, but those do have some market utility though.

one of the really big problems with deflation in a system like the one we currently have is that there is no way to set a “negative” interest rate, at least trivially. So if something spicy happens, and you spiral down to a really aggressive negative interest rate, everything explodes instantly.

This is actually why we target a 2-3% interest rate, and in the times of financial struggle (globally) use it to create new money in order to stimulate an economy, which in turn raises inflation significantly, but beats another literal depression.

The primary difference between the great depression is that covid was significantly worse, and that modern monetary policy is incredibly resilient compared to back then.

you could theoretically have a system with deflation, but then the problem is that you have very little money moving through the market, and arguably you will move away from a currency based market, to a goods based market instead, which is quite literally a bad thing.

“inflation has slowed, but prices are still high? Why is that?”

literally the title of this thread/article

Man i sure wonder why my rate of increase % lowering hasn’t done much to change the value that it’s cumulatively adding on top of…

WHEN THE FUCK DID WE LEARN HOW TO MAKE GUNS TUCKER, HUH??? I WOULD LIKE YOU HEAR YOU ANSWER THIS QUESTION, WAS IT LITERALLY FUCKING GOD WHO CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND WENT “hey guys check out this sick thing i just did” PLEASE TUCKER, PLEASE TELL ME.

the size doesnt matter for aerodynamics, generally, but it matters for physics.

Drag is a square or cube scaling, i forget which, so at higher speeds it increases disproportionately.

A larger object has more air to move out of the way, which means more drag. It’s more capable of moving that air with it’s increased volume. But then you also start running into volume to surface area scaling issues. Elephants are really slow for a reason, and it’s the same reason small animals are comparatively fast.
