@K_AminThaabet Normal people care about people of other races dying as well. But to you I guess 10,000 kids dying is not a concern.

@profmusgrave I have talked to several homeowners who have this weird idea that somehow home equity isn't wealth, because if they sell they still have to live somewhere. Its as if they don't consider renting to be an option.

@Afinetheorem Yea, because academic macro is in a bad state. All most economists could contribute to the discussion was "lol greedflation". You can't ask that the experts be taken seriously if the experts can barely back up their point of view.

@nytopinion @KarenPetrou Karen Petrou's argument is actually just wrong. She argued that low rates prevent people from saving thus increasing inequality. But the vast majority of financial assets are held by the very wealthy. Regular people hold a much higher percentage of their wealth in mortgages.

@TheOmniZaddy You don't understand. The wolves mixed their labour with the land in each area, making it theirs. All the other wolves know to not go on land that other wolves have mixed their labour with, as that would be against the non aggression principle.
