re: -0.3% 1st Quarter GDP
Posted by oklahogjr on 4/30/25 at 2:24 pm

What do you think? Hmm, YoY number. These numbers are always lagging.
So why would you cite a lagging number about a current/future situation as demand grew and supply shrunk?

Leading would be prognostications. How much weight do you put on those?
On one by itself very little. On a mature model quite that's been tested and confirmed. I think till be accurate within at least a couple derivatives most of the time

The US annual inflation rate decreased to 2.4% in March 2025, down from 2.8% in February. This was the lowest rate since March 2021, indicating a cooling trend in prices
Is that a leading or lagging measurement?

While there was an overall small decrease due to trade, and that is bad, consumer spending and investments grew by 3%. While a decrease in GDP is not good, there are signs pointing to growth ahead if the tariff situation is worked out.
What do you call an economy where demand is growing but supply is shrinking?

Did you say the same about J-6'ers?
Were they not charged with a crime? My understanding is everyone arrested was charged with something. If not then they shouldn't have been in jail either.

dems have no power right now in government so they have weaponized the entire legal system and go after every single thing trump does w/ some kind of trumped up crisis to get emergency stays for everything from cutting fraudulent payments to ordering the return of terrorists from foreign countries.
Huh? The history of litigating our government and hanging up everything the government does in court goes back a long ways. Are you familiar with naders raiders?

Good why should someone charged with no crime sit in jail?

Trumponomics in full effect.
It's basically bidenonmics with more chaos.

Long story short you still can't answer the question directly.
re: Crypto bros., why isn't Bitcoin more widely used?
Posted by oklahogjr on 4/29/25 at 5:02 pm
Huh? Not sure why you're mad, I own and have traded crypto. It's just not a great currency vehicle outside that use case. Was just providing an example of how that volatility you mentioned fricked people over before when they spend it.

Oh there are crypto applications that make sense for things like shipment tracking. But those will all be done on private chains based on forks for specific application purposes and have little to do with the currency applications.

Don't be laszlo
quote:
On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz wrote a pivotal chapter in the history of cryptocurrencies. Back then, he made the first commercial transaction with Bitcoin by paying 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At the time, this sum was equivalent to just $41, a figure that seemed reasonable for a couple of pizzas.
However, with the evolution and exponential growth of the value of Bitcoin in recent years, the price of that purchase has reached astronomical figures. Today, with Bitcoin fluctuating between $96,000 and $100,000 per unit, those 10,000 BTC would be worth approximately $1 billion. This makes those two pizzas the most expensive in history.

Biggest hurdles
Lack of privacy on the chain. If I know your wallet Public key I know everything you ever bought.
Speed of the transaction. It's much faster than banking transactions that take days....it's much slower than your debit card or phone tap to pay
Wild value fluctuations on the currency would be a pain in the arse to account for.
Still kinda complicated to setup and manage wallets securely, although continues to get easier.
And then long term bitcoins are going to be pretty scarce and require lots of fun decimals to keep track of since there will only ever be 21 million but coins.
Lack of smart contract support as well at least as of my last research into crypto.

The answer today is simply nuclear until we figure out fusion. Green energy especially solar continues to get cheaper but nuclear is far too stable to ignore further

Sec. 4. Using National Security Assets for Law and Order. (a) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security and the heads of agencies as appropriate, shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement.
(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Attorney General, shall determine how military and national security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, and personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime.
Why do local police need military equipment to be used on our own civilian population?

Well it went from fixing the deficit to barely scratching the surface from an expectation standpoint. They've definitely been told to shut up and message it different though. It was a pretty bad look to have Elon on stage celebrating the layoffs with a chainsaw...

Should also include crypto and the executive branch as well.
This is a good start though. Naming is pretty funny.

Now that's both funny and a good idea. Should cover all elected officials including president and vice president.
