“Libertarians Are Welfare Queens”
—“In the same way libertarians rally about welfare bad actors in terms of economics, libertarians are “welfare queens” in the sense that they want all the trappings of a high trust society and commons without their own participation in it. They’re Just welfare queens of the flip side of the coin.”—Zachary Bert
Robert Danis That’s why I stopped becoming a libertarian you have to have some type of restrictions but you don’t need odorous laws like we have today and are trying to be created. Mikey Lirón Altho there certainly after Libertarians who feel entitled to things and not have to pay for them Adam Jacob Robert Walker Mikey Lirón A slave contributes to the wishes of his master, obligated by threat of violence or harm. He contributes for his own survival. A slave eats food in order to survive and surviving means enduring slavery. A slave has no choice other than to hope for an early death, opportunity for suicide, or chance to revolt and gain his freedom. “This is no endorsement of it, nor is it an acceptance of obligation to contribute.” This is the point the OP is making. Libertarians don’t contribute or accept the obligation to contribute when granted liberty. They do this by using the NAP (half truth) as an excuse to free ride and not contribute to the commons. Curt’s question gets at the heart of it. What choice do you have? What incentive do sovereigns (those with a monopoly on violent coercion ie govt) have to grant you liberty if you don’t respect the commons created by those who granted it to you? Curt Doolittle Why should those of with numbers, capital, and territorial control, let you live? Abigail Elizabeth The Libertarians who agree to contribute to and respect the commons are probably Propertarians who just don’t know it yet. 😉

Eliminate the Capitalism vs Socialism Extremist Problem.
—“Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg showed that ethnocentrism trumps the dichotomy “isms” of economics but we’re still bound to an “ism” at a group strategy level.”—Chris Moyer
In other words ethnocentrism and rule of law of reciprocity will eliminate the capitalism vs socialism extremist problem.

PREDICTION OF THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF #CORONAVIRUS (#COVID19, #WUHANVIRUS )
PREDICTION OF THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF #CORONAVIRUS (#COVID19, #WUHANVIRUS )
—“Curt … this is off topic but … have you given any thought to the likely path for the Coronavirus? Been reading non-stop about this for weeks. It’s an interesting problem. No obvious answer I can see, though one could reasonbly throw darts at a chart of distributions of likely outcomes …”— Michael
I have worked on it a little bit every day – but I’m in the same position everyone else is – it’s extremely transmissible (R2.5-3.8), and almost impossible to eradicate because of its carrier capacity (invisibility), carrier duration(weeks), and durability on surfaces, but it’s not fatal often enough or fast enough (2.3%).
The problem with the illness is the duration – it keeps people out of the work force for at least two to three weeks, and up to six weeks or more including recovery. It requires hospital beds, medication, and ventilators (space and equipment) to keep them alive for weeks. So as ‘information’ the virus really, really difficult to quarantine. And difficult to eliminate because of that. And costly and time consuming. But it’s not that deadly.
(Aside: Gross Horror Category: ““While a sneeze or a cough by someone infected with a “respiratory disease” can only infect others within a few meters, the virus-laden gaseous plume from an infected person having diarrhea can infect others up to 200 meters.“)
This whole thing is rather interesting because its NOT as fatal as the Spanish flu. It’s not clear it’s even as fatal as the seasonal flu. The economic disruption we’re seeing is largely from the quarantine efforts, not from the disease itself. And I expect the drop in consumer activity as it spreads. But again, it’s just not that deadly. So, given that the death rates are low, it’s kind of questionable whether we are creating a scare, a crisis, an economic recession or depression, because of an overreaction.
My current, and conservative. prediction is that unless we soften our efforts at containment and shut down the drama, it will cause long term interruption of economies because of its durability rather than deaths, and that it will just go on for years, dragging us down.
So, I have a hunch that we will see a propaganda effort by the cdc and governments to say this is just going to go through the world population like any other flu, and that it’s no deadlier than any other if we take care of it. So “go about your business’, and go to the hospital if it gets bad. We are already seeing this. Look for the phrase “switch from containment to mitigation”. In other words it can’t be contained so we just have to get better at treating it.
So, at present, its a bad case of the seasonal flu that for a minority of patients puts them in hospital care for a long time, and for an even smaller minority of patients with comorbidities it puts them at risk of mortality.
If it continues at present rates, with present rates of expansion, at present rates of infection, it will definitely affect the world economy – which is what the markets said today.
But at present, unless there is some dramatic increase in deaths, I expect cooler heads to eventually prevail.

THE FULL CIRCLE OF CURRENCY
– by Bill Joslin –
From what i understand currency pertained to debt tracking before it was used for trade. (in group tally of debts within small communities that distributed resources and only engaged in formal trade across groups)(greaber’s Debt)
(oddly we’ve come full circle with currency created when debts are issued)
-by Paul Franklin –
Coinage, then, might have been an attempt to create professional armies to avoid paying them through plunder? Philanthropic.
Paper money, according to Ezra Pound, was ‘philanthropic’ invention of a Chinese Emperor in a drought, issued to the starving illiterate peasants that they might buy enough of the grain they grew from the Barons who kept it, and not die.
The barons redeem the paper for the promise of gold declared for their presentation before the Emperor.
Promise? Is this the same post?
One message I have for Christians, one thing that I can tell you with the same certainty I can predict tomorrow’s sunrise will occur – Christ is definitely not coming.
No point in waiting for that promise to be fulfilled.
Although the implication is therefore that he must already be here?
