mhaze,
> Self correcting via a declining (weakening) dollar. Which is inflationary. And which causes higher interest rates.

I don't know what you thought I was referring to, but I was saying the weakening dollar was itself self correcting. Although if you're referring to a weak economy, you're usually right, as the response to that tends to be lower interest rates, which in the short term tend to reduce our dollar's more than increased government spending would.

Anyway, back to my main point:
Yes, government borrowing is inflationary. But the impact is IMMEDIATE. It's not a problem for future generations; the inflationary impact on them depends on how much deficit THEY run, and is entirely unaffected by how much deficit WE run.
Do you understand this now?
Do you still dispute it? if so, on what grounds?

And please keep in mind that the amount the government borrows is only one of several factors affecting inflation. Others include automation (which is highly deflationary) and private sector borrowing. And in the current circumstances, inflation is very low (and so are interest rates); there's a lot the government can spend before inflation becomes a problem.

Hey mhaze,

"Well they're not my first choice of reliable sources, but they are orders of magnitude more reliable than Globalresearch. How anyone could give a site that writes of North Korea as being 'A Land of Human Achievement, Love and Joy' even a second thought is beyond ration understanding."

You didn't even look at the information on Globalresearch.
What you did was google 'globalresearch', then looked at the second listing RationalWiki, and had them decide that the content I was trying to show you wasn't worth looking at.
What you did was go to someone else to make your decision for you rather than taking the time to look at the facts for yourself.
You found a reason to reinforce an existing bias by discounting what I was trying to show outright.
You used another article to draw a conclusion about the info without looking at my info, did you not?
You didn't look at the facts, and consequently you denied yourself a more informed decision based on these facts you dismissed.

The plots thickening.
There's a whole world of info you're dismissing as Communist propaganda, and a lot of it holds merit.

Whilst I accept that it might've come from an accidental release from Chinese BSL-4 Biolab in Wuhan (to which US people from Harvard had some involvement with) it's just as likely based on the info I'm looking at that it came From Fort Detrick.

It certainly didn't originate from the market, if anyone believes that then they're idiots.

This video lays out a timeline.

ArmChair,

"You didn't even look at the information on Globalresearch."

Well AC, that, like most of your other statements of fact, is rubbish. Of course I read it. But I read it with a sceptical eye rather than someone desperate to believe.

Its rubbish. Its standard conspiracy theory fare where gaps in data are filled in with wild supposition and then accepted as absolute fact.

Its a process that has a long pedigree. eg we don't know how the Egyptians built the pyramids therefore it might have been done by aliens and therefore we've proven aliens visited ancient Egypt.

We don't know exactly why Fort Detrick was closed therefore it could have been because of some virus therefore we've proven that the Wuhan virus started there. That's the level of 'analysis'.

Or the classic - Iranian genomes are similar to Italian genomes therefore we've proven that those dreaded Jews caused both outbreaks. Just a declaration that the genomes are similar without the slightest hint of evidence or thought about how that makes zero historic sense.

AC, we all know that you are virulently anti-US and spectacularly anti-Semitic and if you want to drooling believe this drivel, then knock yourself out. But it really is laughingly idiotic to then label people who prefer to live in the real world as being fools

"AC, we all know that you are virulently anti-US and spectacularly anti-Semitic"

Why wouldn't I be and why wouldn't anyone be?
Why would I support some weird religious authority to that believes Non-Jews are to serve them?
Why would I support some stupid extreme ideology like that?
Why would I support a nation that was founded on terrorism and subjagation?
Why would I support any of that?

I'm not even an anti-semite.
That's how your conditioned mind tries to frame things with endless bs narratives
I'm a don't give a crap-semite, I don't lose 1 minutes sleep.
You know why - It's not hate that motivates me.
I don't give a crap about Semites any more than I don't give a crap about anyone else.

I just don't care to bow down to anyone religious theology.

It's not an ideology I'd support for any inhabitant of the human race.
What you want is for me to show them extra respect above and beyond others and give them an entirely free pass from criticism, and I just don't care for your conditioning.
You're practicing Noahide law whenever you mention 'Anti-Semite'

I don't care about the claims of Anti-Semite
It doesn't mean anything to me.
Do you understand that?
It means nothing its a made up word.

And all the US does is make wars for Israels benefit.
All these refugees everywhere where did they come from?
Wars by the US that support Israels geopolitical interests.
And idiots like you.

Give me one ethical reason why I would support those terror states?
Should I put the list of US regime changes up?
Show me one place the US brought democracy, the people were happy and they left without robbing the nation?

US capitalism is 'I'll kick your teeth in and take all your shite'.
That's not a world vision I support, obviously you do.

I don't hate US citizens or Jewish people, I just won't support stupid ideas, if that makes me an Anti-Semite then I'm an Anti-Semite and Anti-US get over it.
I don't care.

Patient Zero was a US Army Intelligence Officer from INSCOM at Fort Belvoir, Virginia prior to the Wuhan Games.
