@hector I never made any claims that central banks or their tactics were good. I argued only the point that low but non-zero inflation is a good thing. There is quite a bit messed up about the current monetary system beyond that point.

@hector
Btw nothing i said has anything to do with keynesian economics btw. It is a concept that is accepted by virtually every model of economics there is simply because it is so obvious and easily verified.

@hector
Not really correct. The benefit of inflation is it encourages money to be invested rather than hoarded. This encourages wealth generation ad opposed to wealth stagnation.

The reason it tends to be more a burden on rich than the poor is the rich are more able to sit on money than the poor. But the difference is small

@wilmhit Please keep me updated if you do.

@wilmhit I'm not really sure. I wouldnt think so as wine components translate aindows API to linux/xorg apis more or less. So sticking them into a windows system somewhere makes no sense.

@wilmhit Well you could always just install linux without doing it "on windows" :)

@hector Actually inflation can help the poor or hurt the poor. It isnt as simple as you or the article might suggest.

As a general rule (though it is more complex than this) very slow and moderate inflation is good. Fast inflation, or worse yet hyperinflation is bad.

when inflation is good is more or less good for everyone. When its bad its more or less bad for everyone.

A healthy economy will be one with a fairly low, but >0 inflation rate.

@tripu The spanish are pros at training their olive trees to behave :)

@wilmhit yes.. here are the steps

1. install linux

2. take a windows CD and place it underneath your computer

3. install windows explorer

4. profit

@tripu This is the proper way to train a tree to sit. Notice how effective it is, the tree hasnt moved an inch!

@borko The "everyone is stupid including me" school of ethics is one I strongly support.

My warning signs for who not to get close to (and certainly don't date!):

1) If they always want to hang out with you, talk, or see you when they are single but you barely hear from them when they are dating someone.

2) Someone who doesnt want their significant other being close friends or hanging out alone with someone of the opposite sex.

3) Someone who is always in a relationship and when they are single is constantly looking for the next one. If they spent more of their lives with a SO than without, no go!

4) Anyone who thinks you are the best thing since sliced bread right after you meet them.

5) Anyone who tries to slip in stories or anecdotes that make them intentionally look like a desirable person and leave out the bad stories. The easiest way not to come across as attractive is to try to "sell" yourself.

6) Dishonesty of character, which relates closely to #5

LOL my cousin meme'ified my earlier ear drops post.
