[W]e can’t reinstitute monogamy, only end subsidy and malincentive, and produce status, tax, and rights incentives. Monogamy will return to the majority in whose interest it is, and not for that minority in whose interest it is not. In practice this will mean that reproductively desirable will restore reproduction and those others shall not.
3 – My belief is that they can no longer use the financial system or fiscal spending to correct the economy, and as such must (and we must prepare them to) directly redistribute liquidity to consumers (citizens). A few of us recommended paying down mortgages instead.

@curtdoolittle Do you think this next economic recession will be worse than the one in 2008?

September 6th, 2018 11:23 AM THE PAST CENTURY IN A NUTSHELL [T]he 1920’s were grand because we immigrated vast underclasses in the postwar era, and used fiat money to give them credit. We transferred world financial control from London to New York. The 30’s were terrible because of the crash produced by our experiment with immigration, fiat money, and absorbing vast underclasses no longer able to find work. Worse, the mechanization of farming was complete meaning that while the majority of the work force had been engaged in domestic service and agrarian production one generation previously, and the combination of immigrants ending of farming as a means of subsistence production. The 40’s was odd because we were able to use the war to move displaced farmers and immigrants into relatively low skilled high volume labor. This served as a retraining of those under, laboring, and working classes via apprenticeship (job training). The 50s were amazing because the entire industrialized world had committed self destruction, leaving american workers able to charge high prices for mediocre goods produced in volume. The fiat money made it possible. the 60’s was the outcome of raising the children of those workers into the middle class rates of consumption. The 70s was the reversal of the postwar privilege of the us economy, particularly the oil crisis that ended it. The 80’s was the era of using fiat dollars to topple world communism before it could do even more harm, and the equilibration of workers incomes with european civilization. The 90’s was the era of the cheap prices on consumer goods due do the end of communism world wide and the entry of billions into the worldwide economy. The 2000’s was the period of shock as we politically economically and financially adapted to our declining status. The 2010’s are the period of retrenchment as our political, economic, and financial influence in the world wanes and the pre-war- balance of powers is restored. PEOPLE THINK POLICY MATTERS. WE ARE FLOATING ON AN OCEAN OF THE WORLD ECONOMY. IN THE END ONLY DEMOGRAPHICS MATTER.

—“Issuing guaranteed loans that can never be discharged to the cognitively deficient, mass producing baristas with $100k degrees, has effectively created a serf class out of what could have been productive lower middle-middle class workers with apprenticeships and vocational preparation. If that’s not moral hazard I’m not sure what is.”—Joseph Smith

From: @NedLamont —“I believe in Connecticut. I believe we’re a state of boundless potential and unparalleled natural beauty, with some of the brightest, hardest-working people you could ever meet.”— 1) You can believe what you want Ned but this is a nearly unsolvable problem unless you restructure or default on the accumulated (parasitic rent-seeking) by government employee unions that have left the state insolvent and the need to feed them driven every viable business out. 2) Connecticut was (thanks to the ideology provided by Yale, Trinity, and Wesleyan and the huge post war working class population) the most successful at copying the soviet model, and the resettlement of underclasses has destroyed the livable and affordable cities. 3) So now, CONNECTICUT = EUROPE’S GREECE. We have few tax paying and tax generating people, we have a vast working and underclasses, and we have driven out the entrepreneurial classes, and taxed companies such that high capital investment is impossible. 4) We have no substantial technical university as does mass and california. No high IQ population outside of the NYC nexus. No high IQ industries of scale. None that generate entrepreneurship as do MIT and Stanford). And our major university is in the wilderness. 5) Because of these policies our cities are right behind Detroit and Baltimore in their lifecycle and our once lovely small towns either destroyed by resettlement (Middletown and Bloomfield in particular) or starved of anything other than bedroom communities. 6) I haven’t operated a business in Harford in two decades (I had one of the larger civic center spaces) but it was like living in a terrorist zone then and it isn’t much better now. Hartford is dead at night and for good reason. The entire 91 corridor is a wasteland. 7) I feel safer in rural ukraine on the border with russia and the war going on than I do in hartford, meriden, new britain, north haven, new haven, bridgeport, waterbury and danbury. I mean. everything within ten miles of 91, and 95 west of westport is a slum with class and race warfare. 8) This is one of the worst states to live in. And its second to California in hostility to business – and we don’t have their climate. So all the good intentions mean nothing without the money by end the accumulated Greek-like parasitism of the bureaucratic class on the people. —“@SaveCTdotORG: Connecticut State debt per person $23k, population decline esp. high earners fleeing, state economy has contracted in real terms since 2010. Pension and interest expense, already 31% of the budget, will quadruple over the next decade. CT is broke and in a death spiral unless we elect Bob”— That’s where I am too. There is no mechanism for a state to go bankrupt and we are best off testing and possibly creating that possibility in federal law. This state is in even worse condition than Illinois, we just don’t have our MANY bad cities in the news as much as Chicago.

There is nothing that can be done without vacating the parasitic rents of the state pension (buying of votes). That’s 1/3 of our revenues. It doesn’t matter what people think. Those pensions CAN NEVER EVER BE PAID. It’s an impossibility. Period.

Tariffs drive up prices for consumers and hurt Connecticut businesses. Bob Stefanowski should reject this trade war, but instead he gives Trumponomics a grade of “A.”
