Truflation is calling for 5.8 which would be inline with your thinking. Bidenites trying to pep up the market so that they don't look like a total and complete failure. -

I think what they're trying to do here is prevent people from registering accounts in order to shove money through them and exit it into crypto. But they probably ought to think twice about how they impose those rules, because if you impose them on someone with a balance, then that person might consider your institution a risk vector. -

Someone wrote a paper contending that 2008 mortgage crisis was not caused by subprime borrowers but rather real estate investors. -

The easy solution is to defund any institution which imposes vaccine mandates. If mandating vaccines is required in order to maintain health within a business, that decision should be made by the business owner alone - or else just install an air filter. -

But the whole premise <-- let me elaborate: The person taking the vaccine is not the customer, the customer is the person deciding which vaccines are required to avoid social exclusion. So vaccines can NEVER be tested in a free market the way something like aspirin or ibuprofen is.
Therefore, the "success" of a vaccine has nothing to do with how well it works (if at all), but rather how good the company is at lobbying. In fact the smartest vaccine maker will put essentially zero effort into making it, just enough to bang out a patent, and put all of their effort into getting it recognized by governments. -

Whether vaccines technically work or not is kind of beside the point, they're conceptually broken. In free country, they'd be made by competing businesses that people trust enough to voluntarily take them.
But the whole premise of vaccines is that people are coerced or forced to take them at risk of social exclusion by state power. So they are guaranteed to always be "government quality" crap just good enough to please a bureaucrat - and because it's completely centralized, the risk of supply chain attacks / poison is massive.
Even if they work, states should be forbidden from practicing social exclusion. Drug companies just need to put their thinking caps on and invent something which works WITHOUT relying on totalitarian coercion. -

> I wonder what motivation you think governments have
Well of course pharma makes a lot of money, and offers jobs to govt people who grease their palms with public money.
But more than that, bureaucrats like to feel like they're important and that that they're helping. Governments have done a huge amount of damage simply because bureaucrats:
1. Always think there's an emergency
2. Always think intervention is necessary to stave off disaster
3. Always think that they're qualified to intervene
In reality, there's essentially never an actual emergency, and as such, government intervention is almost never necessary and it almost always makes things worse.
But if you believe these things, then you realize that bureaucrats are more or less useless. So as a bureaucrat, you will almost by definition believe the fantasy hero story. -

What about New Hampshire, look at Sweden. They didn't do anything and they're still here, right?
Name a war in the last 50 years was truly necessary? Every last one of them seemed necessary at the time - but which one actually DIDN'T make things worse?
How about name a government program which actually ended poverty. Anywhere in the world.
My position is only extreme if you're an interventionist bureaucrat. -

Did you know that credit scores are illegal in France ?
If you start a company to manage some kind of "number" for everyone in the country, the state will come in and shut you down - and if they couldn't do that, they would at least prevent any French company from using that number in any way. -

People like to say Computer Science isn't real science, but you know at least they don't use the power of the state to ruin the lives of people who disagree with their theories - so it's at least more scientific than medicine. -

Don't forget about the all important aspect of disunity within the ruling establishment. This is why restraint and peaceful measures make sense.
1. Chicken farmer accidentally has a fire
2. Eggs go up in price
3. Powell raises the interest rate
4. Banks & Corporate America getting crushed under the weight
5. Pressure placed on Washington to change
Don't fuck with chicken farmers... -

Communists had fewer fucks to give because they didn't own anything, they had stolen it themselves. So if they burned a city to the ground and 80% of the people in it were good communists, it didn't matter.
Most governments care about their infrastructure because it's connected to what keeps THEM in power. If they start burning cities then they might find their own heads on the end of pikes. -

I think the two lessons are:
1. You need resources ($$)
2. You must not let your enemy know the difference between you and their friends -

It's hard to predict a different path of history (and unfalsifiable!), but my opinion is they absolutely would have.
