@highlander70893@Spazedog8@discountmage@ryangrim US Submarines rescued downed US pilots routinely during WW2. Amongst them future President George Herbert Walker Bush. So yes, submarines are capable of rescuing survivors.
@NathanTankus@drlisadcook Nathan, do you actually believe in central bank independence? MMT econs like Bill Mitchell consider this to be a neoliberal shibboleth. Warren Mosler believes the FFR should just be set at 0. I do appreciate your larger points about racism and autocracy.
@StevenHailAus The Moody's Blues. To be fair, they can't be forced to default, but they could choose to default. Debt ceiling shenanigans and what not. So there is some risk there.
@FadhelKaboub@CheeseMacro@RealProgressUS@GISP_Tweets@MMTLabour I'm interested in learning more about what high end technical or engineering skills that China has but the US lacks. For example both Intel and Apple design their chips in the US, and to some extent also manufacture here. Is there a good source for more info?
@NathanTankus caught you on Hassan's stream. Nice job. I think you have the right take on Trump and his tariffs. He's still covinced they're playing 5-D chess though.
