the bank has every reason to play along... it costs them less than they charge the law firm. all those transactions are a profit for all the processors who's networks are touched by the EFT
if they all coordinated it to start at X time then they have a window where a large number of transactions can take place before the firm can call the bank to stop them.
You're leaving my area of expertise now - my grandfather who lives is a farmer [and my one who passed away was one too, but now his farm is beneath the artificial Palo Lake]. I can easily believe your statements - but as with all things farmers in Iowa tend to be conservative in more than one sense of the term.
are you saying all biofuels are a myth? or just the crappy ones? [Aglal oil is very viable]
Libertarianism leaves a power vacuum that gets filled by the first viable entity to grab it: that's typically a corporation. The Gilded Age is a grand example.
i didn't say the attempts at intervention were, the decades that created the conditions that facilitated it were.
The foundations of the problem were laid down in the Gilded Age (1880-1901) aka the era of the Robber Barons. Even if my analysis of that is wrong, the fact is the Gilded Age wasn't exactly peachy time for the vast majority of Americans - the formation of Unions in the United States was a direct reaction to the Robber Barons actions.
Then poorly thought out Monetarist practices from 1901 to 1929 continued the systemic instability and didn't address the entrenched flaws. Eventually too much of the money became too concentrated leading to a drop in demand which created a stock market and banking shock. [Just like what happened in the last 18 months.]
The biggest parallel between then and now from the "Causes" section of the wiki article [which agrees with what all my textbooks have ever said] "In relation to the 1929 downturn, historians emphasize structural factors like massive bank failures and the stock market crash".
Call my Keynesian:P I've watched the Monetarists be wrong every time they have opened their mouths my entire life.

Yes technically it was mercantilism or something similiar to that - but Libertarianism is effective the same thing as the platform of the Libertarian Party, if it were implemented, would let corporations run ramshod all over everyobdy else.
Judging from seeing your posts I doubt you entirely get along with the official Libertarian party all the time.
i have a feeling you brought a lot of that up because of banks, you do realize you cannot treat banks like any other corporation right?
because wen a bank goes belly up a lot of individual citizens who had deposited money loose a LOT of money. FDIC helps some, but it still evaporates a lot of wealth.
I know you have an ax to grind with nuclear power for some reason - but calling it "dirty" compared to it's alternatives is just silly and you should know better.
Does it create some potentially hazardous materials that have to be dealt with? Yes Are they in reality THAT HARD to deal with? No Are they really that bad for the environment? Not really Are they harmful to humans in concentration? Yes Are they [relatively] easy to safely isolate? Yes
biggest problem with dealing with nuclear byproducts is NIMBY. Nothing else. Nuclear power is hardly dirty, it is just large scale.
If we want to continue deep space exploration we need to rebuild some reactors anyway - NASA is running out of plutonium.
you should know me enough by now to know that I won't trust that source as far as i can throw them. someone else already posted it from a source I found sufficiently trustworthy.
That being said it is misleading to say "the government consumes" it. because it turns around and spends it - and a lot of that incoming funding [but not enough IMHO] comes from people with a high marginal propensity to save [aka horde wealth] so in the end they end up increasing total GDP by spending money that would have otherwise sit idle in banks.*
* and no.. the argument "they could loan more then!" doesn't work. Loan demand is elastic based on expected ability to pay back, not on "the supply"
They found a fault runs right under Yucca Mountain anyway.. isn't exactly a good site for storage anymore anyway.
"n September 2007, it was discovered that the Bow Ridge fault line ran underneath the facility, hundreds of feet east of where it was originally thought to be located, beneath a storage pad where spent radioactive fuel canisters would be cooled before being sealed in a maze of tunnels. The discovery required several structures to be moved several hundred feet further to the east, and drew criticism from Robert R. Loux, head of the Nevada Agency for Nuclear Projects, who argues that Yucca administrators should have known about the fault line's location years prior, and called the movement of the structures "just-in-time engineering."[8][9]
In June 2008, a major nuclear equipment supplier, Holtec International, criticized the Department of Energy's safety plan for handling containers of radioactive waste before they are buried at the proposed Yucca Mountain dump. The concern is that, in an earthquake, the unanchored casks of nuclear waste material awaiting burial at Yucca Mountain could be sent into a "chaotic melee of bouncing and rolling juggernauts"."
Texas was democrat, then the democrats supported the Civil Rights bill and Texas - like a lot of the south - just apparently didn't like civil rights.
Carrying the rest of the country economically? bullshit
Middle ranking? is 49th a middle ranking as that was the last ranking I heard for Texas [last few years]
Libertarians and Republicans might have their differences but they tend to vote together, are cut from the same cloth and their policies end up being failures in the same ways when it comes to economics. In fact the only difference in the long run between the two is libertarians don't want to persecute the gays.
My problem with Texas is that a whole bunch of stupid radiates from that state every year and is mucking up the country I live in and Love.

and then they lost the art assets
eweww.. iowa chity
[i'm an ISU alum not a UofI alum :P]
I work in the banking industry... hell no would the bank waive the fees.
the bank has every reason to play along... it costs them less than they charge the law firm. all those transactions are a profit for all the processors who's networks are touched by the EFT
(i work in the EFT industry)

yes my previous two land lords and my current one all can do recurring EFTs.
and this is Iowa
Yes that would have been helpful.
the only good use of ethanol is human consumption!
ok ok... and as an anti-knocking additive :D

Libertarianism, in the real world, is untenable.
yay for 500 errors.

it's equivalent to whatever they can breed a strain of algae to produce.

nice info man, thanks for the assist :D
I believe that is part of their plans for many of the large scale facilities. also what plastics they use can be cheap bioplastics
because they havent had a problem?
there are several well funded startups and several actively running test sites,[snark] but apparently their operating with out funding [/snark] :P
That's why I said try. Without government blocking those attempts you get corporatism, with government blocking those attempts it stays capitalism.
Right now the United States is fairly corporatist
Yes I know battery technology is progressing, but super capacitors are cleaner and longer lasting so it would be better to use capacitors.
