Hi, I have a degree in economics from Drexel University. So when I think about things, I always put them in the context of numbers and graphs and trends and ratios, relationships. You know, facts. I don't repeated platitudes like "poor people are sad wahhh my heart is bleeding" i say "inflation has been below 2% and treasury yields are low for the next thirty years, we also have an aggregate demand problem so let's start printing money" I fully expect most of the responses I receive to be platitudes, and I pity those of you who think I don't already know that that's what people wrongly think. So try your best to google some numbers like "current inflation 2011 in the united states" or "what is inflation" I have to be honest, I have never bothered with an introduction post and I may never return to this thread. I am just hoping that if I post 10 non-spam messages then I will be auto approved to actually post something. I have gotten no approvals all day and omg please just let me write something or at least go back and admire what I wrote
I will admire the fact your post was approved and I will admire the fact that you can now admire your admirable writings.
Hello, nice to meet you. At least you cared to notice about the 10 posts. I never noticed, nor did I care.
I believe that posterity should know that I sincerely LOVE looking back and admiring the perfection of my own posts, and I don't know how to thank whoever it is that "gave me reputation or something" I lost track of the menu. Thank you, whoever that was. I respond very well to positive reinforcement (just like everyone)!
Welcome to the forum Now unlearn all that Keynesian economics they taught you in school and start reading up on Austrian economics.
Hello Economus. Economic question. In your opinion what is more cost beneficial? $100 worth of liquor or $100 worth of pot? Perhaps split the difference and get both? None would not be an option. Thanks in advance. Falenamus
Admire away! I had not been aware of the 10 non-spam requirement; I thought, initially, posts were only evaluated to not be objectionable. But each of my 1st ones, once it had been reviewed, was posted. Have you been having trouble clearing the undauntingly-high bar here for not being overly-offensive? Your intro didn't make it sound as if that would be the case. On to your numbers headline. Do you only like them when relating to economic data, or are you a math-head (no offense meant) about other things, like probability odds and so forth? If so, I would like to ask you to explain to me something regarding probability, as it relates to the game, "Russian roulette."
LOL! Nice post. Here's hoping you reach that coveted threshhold. Personally I wasn't aware of such a thing...I guess because I've been posting here for so long that iv'e simply forgotten.
I have a really nice round number for you..... ONE QUADRILLION! I choose it because back in 2014 CIA economist Jim Rickards gave the statistic of seven hundred and ten trillion for the worldwide Derivatives markets, so one quadrillion is higher than that...... and nice and round. I will send you a personal message with a link to one of my posts on that intriguing number.
