Not really, Very little farmland is used to grow 'organic', bumper crops lead to low prices, nothing has fundamentally changed in the last 20 years. Huge increases? Nonsense, they were already using very productive hybrids 20+ years ago.
Farmland is still INXS in America, but is now worth much more. It's parked capital.
During 'Snowden', the left wanted to define 'lying about birth control' as rape. Until they were asked where they would build all the new women's prisons. Then they wanted to define lying about barrier methods of birth control as rape, but only those that also prevent STDs, so not diaphragms.
Ariel atom. Only the 1 has a VIN, all later versions are track only.
Many other cars have always been illegal for street use. Put a non DOT tire on your car...illegal to street, just cause it's got racing slicks.
Also my Mustang is technically illegal to drive in CA, but neener neener, can't catch me! Actually it's legal, right now, weekend project is to put the good parts back on.
Your local utility will love it when you help. Everybody loves helpers, especially real Engineers. That's how you know they're real, friendly to volunteer helpers that jump right in and start (helping/trying to undo the mess they're own dimmers make). Especially when power goes out and the local helper system gives out one last dying spurt of electricity onto the dead grid, the linemen in particular love helpers.
Or it could totter on, for a long, long time. Every crooked body holding up the one that threatens to fall. Knowing that's the cheaper option, short term. Just putting the nitrous to the printing presses.
That's the tiny % of my brain that thinks something like bitcoin is inevitable, in the long run. Government money will get too 'expensive' to use. Banks already are, when you're flexible about how much tax you owe...
Always wanted to build a reverse 'turbotax'...Start with how much you can 'afford', what the IRS knows, tells you the figures you need to justify. I digress.
It's worse than that. The EU can also take us all out. Likely so can independent Britain. Certainly China. Hopefully the EU can ride out its southern clowns shenanigans, which are inevitable.
They all have serious problems, every one. My bet is on Britain, they're accounting tricks are the most 'advanced', taking all pensions off book is brilliant!
There is a reason productive farmland is worth about 2-5x what it was 20 years ago, more than lease income can justify. Capital parked, to ride out whatever comes.
It's a chaotic system. A medium sized player like Japan, Korea or India could be the trigger. No telling where.
'Mostly disappeared' doesn't exactly convey a one quarter sharp move. When I read 'Mostly disappeared', I think steady downward progress.
'Current Account' looks to be lagging 'Balance of Trade' by about a quarter. Which makes sense. The bad trade quarter made Chinese investors recalibrate and take some profits.
Balance of trade is back up to normal range, though it's always been noisy.
Looking at 'Current Account' in max time range chart. It sure looks like someone likes to periodically run it down to 0, overshot this time. Up till 2005, once per year, after that, tried about once/year but failed until 2011, maxing out in 2008. Then failed again, close in 2014, close in 2017, negative in 2018. Smells like Chinese economic metrics/targets to me.
But wait a second, doesn't all of China have a traditional weeks long 'go home' vacation and a once/year bonus cycle that leaves everybody changing jobs at the same time? Max time range on balance of trade shows yearly sharp downticks. Like clockwork. This year, Trump bluster made the Chinese (pull money out/put less money in) US investments, though 50k$/year limit for ordinary Chinese, plus bitcoin makes actual capital flows hard to track.
If all your friends put themselves into crippling debt, would you do it too? / mom
There is a basic truth to your point. When the bill comes due, there will be no place for capital to flee to.
Bets on first major currency to pop? I want the British pound.
The real question: 'When the first currency goes 'shite', will it strengthen the others or cascade failure?' I'm thinking cascade failure, too many interdependencies that fall on each other. Too many banks with exposure in all currencies that are 'too big to fail'.
'The left' is incoherent and diverse, with their own Nazis.
You describe average western college campus leftists. But even there, you have neo Stalinists and not quite so insane ones, who will mostly 'grow out of it'.
Spend a year in the bible belt, the right also has a substantial tribal group with a stick firmly up it's ass. They are just as convinced as any leftist that only they are right and that they are 100% right. Granting thumpers are losing numbers every year, while Trump brought out the loony left.
Chinese currency peg. In a sense, we have one worldwide monetary policy.
How undeclared economic wars playout:
Developing country pegs its currency to developed country's. (aggressive act 1)
Developed countries print money, causing inflation, including inflation in developing countries. (aggressive act 2)
The fix is simple, let the Chinese currency float. Also fixes the two Chinese currencies nonsense.
Keep it up, we're all laughing at you, poor buthurt snowflake. You set the standard for passing corruption as long as it's on your side.
Trump was, until recently, a lifelong D...the RNC hates him as much as the DNC. The hope is he triggers a dirt dump by both, giving American politics a hard reset and leaving Hillary dying in prison.
Maybe he should open a 'Trump Global Fund' and collect his bribes into that? You are apparently fine with that...even after the politician loses and it becomes obvious to all it was just a bribe stream, as the flow disappears overnight.
Any group that can watch the 'Clinton Global Bribe Fund' operate, then watch it's income go basically to zero after she lost and conclude: 'nothing suspicious here' is beyond reasoning with. It's simply tribal to them...
One on day one. No doubt, in the model of the most corrupt, openly partisan, SC justice, Sotomayor.
And now we're all waiting for Ginsburg to finish dying. Clintons overconfidence just keeps on giving.
Also explain why the money flow into the Clinton global bribe fund dropped to virtually zero after she lost? You could kid yourself that it wasn't open corruption, until the day after the election. Now you are just willfully ignorant and look a fool.

Obama slowed the recovery with his money wasting programs. Face facts. We have hindsight now, there is no more argument.

Most people go into debt to buy rapidly depreciating assets, shiney.
'Crippling debt' more or less means your going to lose anything that secured any debt in the long run, leaving you with the now old car and memories.

Only possible if there were more than twice as many Ds as Rs. GGP is simply wrong.
Not noone, but the numbers of unhinged is currently beyond counting.
They claim carbon capture for $200/ton.
Ethanol is 786 kg/m^3, but is only a little under half carbon, call it half, but give them 50% for extra cost of getting useful fuel.
So about 1.3 cubic meters of 190 proof booze for $200...everybody will be able to afford a whole swimming pool of vodka! If it wasn't bullshit.

It is the wrong question.
Not: Do you download? How big is your media library? What % did you (get legally/rip from media you own)?
Also: Argh...When private media servers are outlawed, outlaws will change their firewall configuration.

Do you give Clinton credit for the last 8 years of the Reagan boom?
Hypocrite.

Bitcoin is stable enough for all your money laundering needs.
IMHO only a fool invests in bitcoin, that's not what it's for. It's _purpose_ is to evade capital controls. In and out, in under a day. Fuck the feds.

No.
