A director of software engineering at Oracle who feels he got duped recently filed a claim in Texas small claims court against Tesla. Ben Gawiser simply argued that he should have received unsupervised Full Self Driving by now. Tesla didn’t show up to court, so Gawiser got $10,600 in a default judgment as well as $72.88 in court costs.
We are taught that money is made by fiat. This is illustrated by a bank making a loan and the extended amount over a hypothetical reserve amount, is money creation. New money. Thus, money is and can be created by private means. Why doesn't the MMT community put this into scale and distribute the "blame" for "money printing", when critics criticize centralized fiat creation contributing to inflation?
Tax destroys money, thus taxes help control inflation. Considering the above, how money is created by making loans, why don't we advocate a payoff of loans early? Doing so destroys a lot of the money, thus helps fight inflation.
If we control by paying off debts, then there is less need for taxes. Taxes as a demand lever of a currency only makes sense when other currencies are available to compete for them. However if you mandate that domestic spending be done in the currency, you create the demand inherently because people need to transact. It's easy to ban competing currencies after domestic supply is sufficient. Especially with today's technology. For a struggling colonial America with British notes available everywhere, I understand the incentive, but that's not possible in today's modern economy. Especially when it's easy to ban other currencies from being introduced.
Hello. Are there any papers about a preference for the lateral instead of vertical in all facets on our thinking, as a result of our eyes being laterally placed?
For instance I would expect a person to scan side-to-side if they didn't feel safe because our evolutionary biology didn't experience threats from the skies or treetops often.
There may have unexpected effects in how we imagine things as well. If so, how? (If asked to describe an imaginary room, begin with the walls, etc.)
Hello, is there a pattern like this found indigenous to the middle east circa 1100 BCE? It's a multi wavy "V" like with circular indentations on or around it.
