I love it when people say that the China you could just recall their debt or some s*** to screw us over, when in fact we actually could more easily screwed the Chinese over by just blockading their ports

2018-12-10 20:58:38 UTC  

Honestly if America defaulted it would be a murder suicide

2018-12-10 20:58:50 UTC  

plug their rivers so they overflow with plastic and explode

2018-12-10 20:59:03 UTC  

China would go out within a week because America basically pays for the Chinese military with its interest payments

@Leaf Supremacist guns seems logical, and so is copper I guess. Anyway it's not worthless, because people think it's worth something

2018-12-10 21:00:01 UTC  

@Leaf Supremacist pretty much, in addition recently they had to start importing food, so a war with China really would just be a blockade

So the Federal Reserve is private Institution. What do you guys think of that?

2018-12-10 21:01:57 UTC  

you just broke our ToS, we're freezing all your assets

I had one of my teachers defend the fact that the Federal Reserve was a private institution, he said that sent it to private and wants to make money, its in its own self-interest to not cause hyperinflation. Of course I'm not sure if that's always in the best interest of the public, but you know, "the institutions are just great! how could they possibly be flawed!"

Thanks

2018-12-10 21:11:49 UTC  

I don't know the answer myself

2018-12-10 21:12:02 UTC  

@εïз irma εïз lol, Cicero the autist

2018-12-10 21:12:39 UTC  

My professor told everyone why the Fed and fractional reserve banking are bad

2018-12-10 21:13:27 UTC  
2018-12-10 21:13:51 UTC  

I just saw your earlier post saying how yours defending the Fed and offered an anecdote of my own

2018-12-10 21:13:58 UTC  

I don't have a solid opinion on the Fed, though

2018-12-10 21:14:19 UTC  

Nor do I to be honest

2018-12-10 21:14:53 UTC  

I will go out on a limb and say that getting off the gold standard does have its advantages

2018-12-10 21:15:10 UTC  

For instance,

2018-12-10 21:16:14 UTC  

You have a little more control over the money supply, so instead of having to dig more gold out of the ground you're able to Simply print more money to match the economy. So unless you just decide not to print money or somebody starts burning dollar bills, deflation is pretty hard to achieve

2018-12-10 21:16:24 UTC  

discussion is on unemployment vs inflation right

2018-12-10 21:16:46 UTC  
2018-12-10 21:17:12 UTC  

then again, couldnt you start to convert the gold into usable things to combat inflation

2018-12-10 21:17:21 UTC  

if im correct gold is used in motherboards

2018-12-10 21:17:21 UTC  

If you ask me, prioritizing one over the other is kind of dumb

2018-12-10 21:17:57 UTC  

lets say both inflation and unemployment are damn high

2018-12-10 21:18:03 UTC  

which would you go to fix first

2018-12-10 21:18:11 UTC  

or what would you focus more on

2018-12-10 21:18:19 UTC  

Though, from the perspective the government unemployment would be more important, since people who have work or less likely to Riot. Well unless your France

2018-12-10 21:18:54 UTC  

Then you're always rioting

2018-12-10 21:19:16 UTC  

id go unemployment, id rather have people being employed and earning money than making the dollar more valuable while at the same time having a large amount of people not earning said dollar

2018-12-10 21:19:28 UTC  

and likely being on some social program or doing crimes
