The problem will truly begin when the old, cheap 10 and 30 year bonds mature and the government has to service the same debt at current rates. Debt service will drastically go up (it’s already higher than our defense budget) and likely outpace nominal growth, and there won’t be much to be done about it. I think the end game is the issuance of a Treasury/Fed stablecoin.

I know little about ANCAP theory but it would seem to necessarily go hand in hand with getting rid of limited liability for corporations completely
You would be correct, and I think that fact would basically eliminate shareholder capitalism and become something else entirely.

Aren’t you ancap?
In some senses, yes. Isms are complicated.
I am not so pro-market as to think that developing a digital surveillance corporate society is acceptable just because someone wants to cash out on their property. Externalizing societal and environmental costs is currently a failing in a lot of ancap theory, at least from an actually practical standpoint.

Freedom-loving Americans distrust and dislike the explosion of data centers because it is for the domestic surveillance state, more than any beneft to the American. Plus any other complaint.
That yay-sayers have such trust in the benevolence of our government and affiliated corporations is just mind blowing.

I don’t think there is an easy and politically palatable solution, which is why the administration seems completely full of shite.

If we had gone balls to the wall from the get go, no pausing for "negotiations", destroy everything above ground level until they beg for mercy; the American people would be fully on board.
If only we engaged in war crimes and began the process of the largest humanitarian and refugee crisis that would overload an already precarious Europe, while destroying a large capacity of some of the most important commercial inputs in modern society, the American public would have gotten massive freedom boners!

I say it rather often, usually when I did not understand what was being said - not comprehension, but hearing.
I’m just a dumb hick, though, so maybe you raise a good point.

Gonna skip the usual suspects and say something like Eritrea, Djibouti, or Papua New Guinea.
If you want a people carrier, there are better options. If you want a Land Cruiser, I would tend toward finding a low mileage Series 80 or 100. You’ll pay the same price.

Unfortunately, I learned that I am not completely white...I got 1% NW Italy. 87% British Isles (shockingly much more Southern England than Northern or Scotland), 6% NW Germany, 4% Danish, and 2% Icelandic. I assume the latter three are carryovers from the Viking invasions.

That’s still a little too close for comfort, but maybe that’s because I know many of my second cousins. Also easier to say that because they’re all dudes. I might be from Alabama but I’m not a fig.

Unless someone provides evidence otherwise, and I encourage someone to do so, I’m going with AI enhancement.
