Government Tinkering With Prices Is Like Hiding All of the Street Signs / Politics / Economic Statistics
By: MoneyMetals
Governments constantly tinker with prices. Government people claim it's in our best interest, but price manipulation creates all kinds of unseen negative consequences.
Sometimes governments set price ceilings, mandating that the cost of something can't rise above a certain level. One example we see often is price gouging laws. In extreme cases, the government will even implement price controls. President Richard Nixon did this in the 1970s.
Sometimes governments set price floors such as minimum wages (After all, a wage is simply the price of labor).

Holocaust Survivor States Israel is Like Nazi Germany, The Fourth Reich / Politics / Palestine
By: N_Walayat
I say this as a holocaust Survivor that the genocide in Gaza, is not happening in my name and in our name. The way that the Israeli government is using the memory of the Holocaust in order to justify what they're doing to the Gazans is a complete insult to the memory of the Holocaust it's an outrage. When I saw the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations putting on a yellow star it was stomach turning.

Fourth Reich Invades Rafah Concentration Camp To Kill Palestinian Children / Politics / Palestine
By: N_Walayat
Israel's game plan from the orchestrated Oct 7th False Flag attack is to kill as many Palestinian children as they can so that they don't grow up to become Palestinian freedom fighters. and so having concentrated the civilian population in Gaza Israel's army is about to launch a full assault on the concentration camp to this end, all whilst perpetuating propaganda that they are the victims which is akin to the Nazi Germans propaganda that they were the victims at the hands of concentration inmates. History has come full circle as those who should never again are the ones doing it again, a Palestinian Holocaust at the hands of the Fourth Reich.

THE GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE MEGA-TREND IS THE INFLATION MEGA-TREND! / Politics / Climate Change
By: Nadeem_Walayat
I won't bore you with worthless academic models that started from a 0.8c rise this century ranging all the way to +3c. The IPCC still cling onto hopes of limiting a rise in average temperatures to just +2c, on the basis of the world going carbon net zero by 2050 by means of removing 11gt of carbon per year, IPCC fiction vs current reality of just 2 million tonnes of carbon removal per year or 0.02% of target! It's too late where even as if by magic the clown politicians all sat down and agreed to go carbon neutral right now won't make any difference because Co2 is NOT the PRIMARY DRIVER! It's what tipped the climate over the edge in search of a new higher equilibrium, the temperature will now rise regardless of what humanity does to limit carbon emissions.

By: Stephen_McBride
As I write, the S&P 500 is down 5%, and it looks like we’re in the early stages of the larger correction we’ve been anticipating.
Given US stocks surged 28% in six months, this pullback is perfectly normal and healthy.
Let’s get after it…

Managing Your Public Image When Accused Of Allegations / Politics / Social Media
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
Facing allegations of improper behaviour such as fraud, illegal activities or employee discrimination is incredibly challenging for businesses and individuals. These kinds of accusations can affect everything from your sales and partnerships to the morale and mental health of your workforce.Even before assertions are investigated, damage is done to your reputation based on rumour alone. A recent example is major firms like John Lewis quitting CBI following reports of rape before the case has even reached court.

All Measures to Combat Global Warming Are Smoke and Mirrors! / Politics / Climate Change
By: Nadeem_Walayat
In practical terms, humanity collectively has done absolutely NOTHING to cut back on carbon emissions so it's no wonder that that rate of increase in co2 in the atmosphere remains on an exponential trend trajectory. Back in 1999 the suits were aiming to cap co2 at 400 parts per million, today it is now over 425 ppm. in 25 years time it will probably be approaching 500ppm as in reality nothing will be done given that people want to have better lives, they want to eat meat every day not once a month or even once a year as used to be the case in centuries past. So we are a long way from even stabilising the system let alone reversing damage that is being done, look at the graph, what has been done since 2000 to prevent climate change? The answer is NOTHING! Instead the exact opposite has transpired!

Why AI will Soon become SA - Synthetic Intelligence - The Machine Learning Megatrend / Politics / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Is Artificial the right word to use for what is taking place as we enter 2024?
Artificial - made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.
Neural networks are a black box, they are not a copy of something natural i.e. are an emergent property, a different form of intelligence, in the past I've called this Alien Intelligence but that is a bit Sci-fi sounding, maybe a better word that could eventually become widespread should be Synthetic Intelligence since it is a form of intelligence and not artificial i.e. the intelligence is real, but different to human intelligence.

Taiwan 2024 Election: Militarization or Development / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: Dan_Steinbock
Taiwan's elections loom just a few weeks away. Continued militarization would undermine past economic success. Taiwan is at its ultimate crossroads.
Taiwan’s presidential elections will be held on January 13, 2024. Re-elected in 2020, the incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen cannot seek a third term.
Tsai’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has been a divisive force that has benefited from President Obama’s pivot to Asia, Trump’s efforts at effective normalization and Biden’s attempt to capitalize on the consequent tensions to contain China’s economic rise regionally and globally.

Rise of US Military Aid, Fall of Israeli Labor Party / Politics / Israel
By: Dan_Steinbock
The Nightmare after 50 Years of Failed Military PoliciesIsraeli occupation and far-right settlers are subverting Israeli democracy. The rise of US military aid has resulted in the fall of the Israeli Labor Party. Meanwhile, neoliberal policies are polarizing the economy, politics and society.
Since the 1970s, the concern of the Israeli peace activists was that if the Messianic far-right Jewish settlers, many of whom came from the US, would be permitted to create a substantial de facto presence, it would be legitimized over time by de jure measures.

Are Zionist Israelis Nazis? Gaza Palestinian Genocide 2023 / Politics / Palestine
By: N_Walayat
Are Israeli Nazis? Watch this video and make up your own minds. For if anyone said what these Israeli's and their Zionist supporters hate speach about the palestinains against Jews then they would rightly be arrested. But somehow it is okay for Zionists to spread hate speach, incite others to violence, call for the death of all palestinians. That appears to be okay with the authorities given that the Zionists OWN the western political parties.
