It'll be a lot longer than six months irl, they just have to be super cautious making claims. Just like they've been incredibly hesitant with claims it will prevent the vaccinated from spreading the virus. It will, but they can't actually make the claim until all the data is in and the numbers crunc...

The idea is a kludge to work around hidebound austerians and deficit hawks who don't understand macroeconomics. If economic planners understood first principles it wouldn't be necessary to use the coin kludge.

QE does not directly affect national debt either...so I'm not seeing a beneficial difference. Something I'm not seeing being addressed is M (money supply). This is not "free" money...it has a cost. It is effectively a tax. To illustrate how that works, let's consider a very simplified exa...

I love that DJ Shorts BB if you find a good source. Probably top-ten variety for me. I've never grown it.

I'm not old enough or sick enough to be eligible yet here. I guess that's a good thing, hope to be all jabbed up by end of May.

Vasque Sundowners were my go-to until they moved production from Italy to China. I've got Salomons now but they might be iffy on a 800 mi. trek.

I've smoked about a little more than an ounce and a half in the past stuck at home year. That's getting high once or twice a day most days too. Shit's strong if you know what to get. <edit> That's an impressive itinerary, I'm familiar with parts of the northern half or so and it's pretty spectacular.

The big downside is getting the deficit hawks all in a bother and spreading their filthy, ignorant bilge.

Shit. Sorry to hear this.

That's so Chicago I have no words.

Found the girlfriend an appointment for the Moderna vaccine. I don't qualify, probably won't get my jab until May or so. Taking no chances until then.

Maths dictate that alien artifacts are far more likely to be found that were left hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years ago than ones left from where any of us were alive. Archeologists or even geologists have the inside track on discovery.

Dampkring gets points for the beautiful premises for a coffeeshop, I saw the staff be short and almost nasty with a few customers but they were loud British louts so I commiserated. They turned me on to Amnesia Haze too. Grey Area was kind of a dump but much less formal and hardass seeming, American...

Are those all San Pedros?

I really like a lot of these.
