    Oh yeah, because currency is just numbers on a computer right? Why bother with these pesky bonds and yield rates at all. Just fire anyone who says you can’t spend your way out of bad headlines.

        Spare me the tech-bro finance.

        Yes the fed does set yield rates but there are grave consequences to unreasonable manipulations - it’s the antithesis of the role of the central bank.

          “Tech-bro finance”?!

          Stephanie Kelton, a leading economist who teaches MMT, couldn’t be any further from tech bros.

          You just don’t understand money. 😄

            That’s contrary to the consensus.

              Do you still believe in the loanable funds theory? And the tooth fairy?

                I believe in the consensus opinion of experts.

                  I’m sure that’s much easier than figuring out what’s true and what isn’t.

                    Most people, including myself, can acknowledge that we are not experts on everything, and therefore rely on the opinion of people who are experts in a given field.

                    Figuring out “whats true and what isn’t” requires you to be come an expert.

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you’ve been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don’t know what “Leopards ate my Face” is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn’t in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you’re only using an excerpt from an article that’s otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn’t just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You’re encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
