If automation and AI are all they're cracked up to be and the CPI falls 2% per year because of a productivity boom, will the Fed work to create 4% artificial inflation to get the CPI up to 2%?

@Hitchslap1 People who vociferously hate IQ tend to be people who overvalue intelligence as a measure of a person's worth to society. They project their beliefs onto people who study IQ.
A Springfield, Ohio, homeowner woke to a screeching explosion one night.
A Haitian crashed through his garage & killed his pets in a great grisly splatter.
The Haitian attempted to flee. The homeowner tackled him. Police showed up and assumed the White homeowner was to blame.
Afghan Army commanders brought their child sex slaves onto US bases; Marines got PTSD from hearing them get raped at night
The governor of the district I deployed to had a basement rape dungeon
And these were our allies, the “good guys”
People have no idea how bad it is there
@hayasaka_aryan This is like the horrors you read of the Soviet Union in the early 20th century, except worse because you grow up believing the UK government is good
“Social services called a 13 year old girl racist and recommended contraceptives to her instead of denouncing her Pakistani rapists”
“Social services returned a girl to a grooming gang to not be racist”
Also double digit efficiency gains over regular brushless neodymium motors meaning significantly more flight time
And they are on track to scale like crazy. They quoted one motor every few seconds with a completely automated production cell
Plan is to produce millions a year
Baseball is exempt from federal antitrust legislation because of a 1922 SCOTUS ruling that baseball games occur entirely inside a state, and don’t impact interstate commerce. That was absurd then, as teams travelled all over, and especially absurd now. But it’s a little funny.
March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil."
April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil. We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need."
June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks...we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it."
BREAKING:
The European Parliament just voted in favor of the Return Directive which will make it easier to start mass-deport illegal migrants.
Chants of “send them back echoed in the chamber after 418 MEPs voted in favor while 218 were against.
Once passed by the Council, the new regulation will establish a common, more efficient system for deporting illegal migrants, boosting the currently very low deportation rates of around 20% of those who have had their asylum application denied and issued a deportation order.
It will introduce:
- Mandatory cooperation with obligations and penalties: Individuals subject to a return decision must actively cooperate (such as providing documents, information, and remain available) with non-cooperation leading to detention.
- Extended detention periods: Detention can last up to 30 months to prepare a deportation.
- Mutual recognition of return decisions across the EU: A deportation order from one Member State will become more easily recognized and enforced in others, preventing migrants from evading deportation by moving between EU states.
- Return hubs in third countries: Allows transfers to “return hubs” in non-EU countries via agreements that respect human rights.
This expands options beyond direct return to the country of origin, enabling more flexible and potentially faster deportations.
- Faster enforcement and investigative tools: Shorter voluntary departure windows (generally ≤30 days, or immediate), quicker forced removals for non-compliance and security risks migrants and new powers for searches and seizures to gather evidence against illegal migrants combined with longer entry bans of up to 10 years and stricter rules for migrants classified as security threats who try to re-enter Europe after a previous deportation.
NYC turned into another multicultural globalist city. Foreigners want to experience a foreign country, but that can't be done in cities that are majority foreign-to-America now. You have to go where Americans are 90%+ of the population.

Let me know what's missing / what else you can get for free or cheap.
Here at Vlad the Impaler’s tomb…
Folks, this reminds me that cultures have historically been marred by illegal aliens.
One moment you’re enjoying your hard fought societal traditions and values, the next invaders decide your land and your people should look like theirs.
The Prince of Walachia wasn’t some cartoon villain, he was a great hero to his people.
When the Turks came rolling in, he did what was necessary to protect his culture and way of life.
Sometimes the only thing standing between your civilization and the next wave of invaders is a motivated PATRIOT willing to do what it takes. Respect
