The money they’re printing isn’t being circulated because people are keeping it in their bank accounts and reducing spending. I think we’re in for something when things return to normal.

These professors usually consult with a lot of government organizations and older companies. If you can make these professors your corporate shill, I guess it’s good marketing.
Narcissists are driven by external validation and appearance, yes. So much so that they forget the people most important to their lives are humans too, not tools or ornaments of achievement. When these relationships sour, there’s a lot of self-doubt, not about the achievements, but if the trade offs are really worth it in the end.
That growth would be exponential because acquiring resources provides more energy which allows them to acquire more resources even faster.
If an intelligent species doubled the number of stars they control every 2 million years, they'd have every star in the milky way in around 50 million years.
That's still like 0.2% the lifetime of the galaxy.
There were several stars that blew up before we got the sun which means several systems and planets right in our neighborhood and that's just 1 star in the entire milky way.
Even at 1% the speed of light, it would take 2 million years to travel across the milky way which, relative to the age of the galaxy, is nothing.
I really don't think people have changed in 100 years, they will always complain. We just need to do it anyways.
If we end up in a situation where neither branch can respond quickly and effectively, that may be worse than what we have now.
To me, it’s more about intelligence than numbers. You could have a single rocket but if it’s smart enough to evade enemy defenses, that rocket could level a city.
The fed would also enter an inflationary cycle where they devalue their currency which means more money needs to be printed which further devalues the currency.
It just wouldn’t work in the real world.
The conversion of short-term -> long-term is a side effect of reduce demand. Once demand picks back up, supply will return.
Meanwhile, long-term prospects for AirBnb have not changed. Disease existed before COVID and will exist after COVID.
Google, Facebook, and Apple all have enough cash to buy several AirBnbs rn.
I’m sure they’ll survive though. Their wealth is in the trillions.
If they know the government will bail them out in the end, they can continue to freely burn money at the expense of the Japanese people.
But, maybe that was the intention without giving any details.
We’ll never know until office is separated out in MSFT reporting I guess.
Is MSFT actually ahead?
My guess is full self driving on high ways by 2030 with some semi-autonomous trucks. Removing a driver won’t happen until 2040-50.
I feel like a junkie saying this but maybe TV alone isn’t enough stimulation.
There’s MUCH more the US can do if they really wanted to. Consider:
1. China is an export-driven economy.
2. The majority of trade flows through ocean trade routes.
3. The US navy patrols and controls the majority of water routes around the world.
But, extreme escalation on either side could push this beyond an economic dispute and no party wants that.
