@FinancialPhys I called people to try and have them repair it. Everyone was mostly nice but they didn’t want to come out to my house and look at it. One tried to troubleshoot it over the phone lol. The other said it was $1,000 after looking at one photo (it was $20 i just ordered the part)
“Hey Peter, what’s happening… I noticed that you only used 2 million tokens yesterday. The company minimum is 100 million per day…. So, uh if you could uh, just get that token spend up a bit, that would be great…”
In a stable money society, the only thing a person needs to know is to spend less than he earns, and to save. Such a society is perfect for the middle class that just wants to build a home and continue the society.
And it’s better for interest rates to be moderately high, so he can earn bank interest - because the average person has no time or inclination to engage in stock and real estate speculation. Higher interest rates also mean house prices are lower - because they are a place to live and not a speculative investment.
The only people who win on low interest rates are sophisticated schemers who can borrow at zero and make wild investment bets. If they go bad they walk away or file for bankruptcy on the special purpose entity set up for the play. If they score - they take all the gains, and then go on TV and claim special knowledge to credulous CNBC hosts.
We are living in a casino capitalism society that works against middle class savers who just want to contribute to their community.
