how is money created?
Money is the most sought after commodity and it can be created by acceptance of of even debt instruments at high enough circulation.
Here comes the Dot Bird.
Dotty, dotty. Money is not a commodity. It is only used for transactions. In years gone by money was shells, salt, lumps of rock and then bronze, silver, gold.
Do yourself a favour. Learn some history and get an education. As I indicated before in a previous post, just try and look at http://www.armstrongeconomics.com………………….You might even learn something.

Yep! Ex boxer, ex-con, became a Christian, a couple of false starts in CNC machining. His oldest hand bet his life savings on his start up, his machinery dealer also personally underwrote his first machine purchases. He slept in his factory the first couple of years so he could get up and load up new parts whenever a cycle was done. He still does / supports a lot of training in prisons. Just pulled up his whole operation including all his workers and their families and moved from California to Texas.
And we were talking specifically about southern Ukraine, because you were dismissing a claim that the Russians are hated there by posting a pro-RU tweet from Dr. Snekotron that suggested people were happy with being occupied and clamouring for Russian passports.
So yes, hand-waving.

The preceding Toy Story 4 was bitten by that same The Message crap, too.
I saw all of the previous 3 growing up, and the characterisation and writing in 4th movie was such a jarring break from all that went before- since when does Woody just spontaneously abandon every one of his friends and fellows for just one person, and ‘pass on’ his mantle to someone else, and Tim Allen’s Buzz Lightyear reduced to a bumbling halfwit with the cognition of a 6 year old- That the entire film fell flat on its face.

1945 and 1946 in Walgett as elsewhere were no doubt different from the fifties, sixties, seventies or eighties.
You said you had an aunt born 1939, who attended Walgett Catholic school. She may have been in the same class in 46 as I was. I have no doubt that my family would have known yours.
I cannot reveal my maiden name because my birth and marriage are both on the internet.
I have to respect those of the same name still in Walgett to this day and others from many parts of NSW.
Writing a newsletter makes you an expert. von Mises is wrong about money. Anything but cash is a plot to kill people. Walgett Catholic schools were like a Irish hedge school before the 1950s.

You wouldn’t be whatabouting over Iraq, and southern and southeastern Ukraine would not be full of Rosgvardia, and there wouldn’t be public protests, leafleting, killings of occupation troops and collaborators alike and pre-trial detention camp governors exploding if southern Ukraine was totally welcoming of their Russian liberators.
In fact, there’d be pretty much nothing. And your pro-RU channels and Russian media would be publicly reporting on the captures, trials and executions of Ukrainian SF and saboteur squads. Since they’d be the only ones doing anything there.
But yet, no bread and salt for the Russians, and brewing trouble despite all their efforts to tighten their control…

Tell me why von Mises is wrong.
The reason why money is the most sought after commodity (forgetting barter as a route to endogenous money supply) is that it allows you to trade endowments in different markets where the effects of money are clearly not neutral.
If the money supply is increased 20 %, prices of assets in more capital intensive locales will rise more than elsewhere. Money cannot be neutral without the lack of economic geography. The possible arbitrages here is why money, in the absence of barter exchange driven monetary development, is the most sought after commodity.
On the other hand, someone can explain why von Mises and the Austrian School is wrong.
LOL… thanks P but I don’t normally drop in to the Open Thread but do check the other threads.

From an amusing article at American Thinker :
Tom Hanks has announced that, if the 1993 movie Philadelphia, for which he won an Oscar for playing a gay man dying of AIDS, were being made today, he would not be offered and would not accept the role, “…and rightly so,” because today such casting would be at odds with “the modern realm of authenticity” demanding that only a gay actor can play a gay character. Today’s audiences, he said, would find a straight actor in that role “unacceptable.”
On hearing this, the first thing that occurred to me was that, should similar “logic” be applied to everything coming out of Hollywood, we would be hearing that “In other news, Anthony Hopkins has declared that, under today’s sensibilities, he would not be offered nor be able to accept the role of Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs (for which he was awarded 1991’s Best Actor Oscar), because he is neither an actual serial killer nor an actual cannibal.”
Other examples are Jodie Foster, Steve McQueen, William Shatner not being able to play a spaceship captain or a cop, and pretty much the whole career of Rock Hudson.
Pity about Hanks going woke.
Acting.
The art of convincingly portraying something you are not.
Looks like Roman gladiator films are screwed.

If you are not actually Thor, God of Thunder, how can you play him in a movie?
Except Hanks was correctly cast if authenticity is the rule these days. Hanks is gayer than a dancer in a gay parade.

You could get in line for a Tesla, and be ready to pay for upgraded connections and charging and a new battery and a new smart battery for the house and a new house for when it all catches fire, or get an 80’s 300D Merc and fang around the corners safe in the knowledge that if you skittle a ‘roo it won’t come in through the lightweight windscreen via a doorwedge “bumper”.

Scarlett Johansen dropped out of a movie about a trans woman because of backlash over fact she was not trans. No idea if movie ever made but a lot more would have watched it if she was in it. Since it was based on a real trans you would think it might help bring more light to trans issues.

It’s not the creation of the money I get how they do it, it’s who gets their hands on it first, the distribution of the newly created money. Creating more money than the available goods and services is a bad idea and will always and eventually end in tears. Why do the banks have a monopoly on the distribution of the new money?
Why not send it direct to every taxpayer? They’ll be the ones paying it back, they may as well have the short term sugar buzz and quickly learn what the money leads to.

Central banking is bit of a scam. Especially so when rates are low. There’s simply no perfect way of increasing the money supply. Money is not neutral, nor should it necessarily always act as such.
Ideally all cash balances would expand and contract together, that’s impossible unless you have something centralised like BTC when it forks. But really, if the economy of FNQ is faring better than Melbin, does a “perfect” monetary policy even make sense? You don’t want to distort the market signals.
In a free market, banks who printed too much money would depreciate their asset base to the point where they could have an asset-liability crisis. There is obviously an incentive to engage in seignorage in good times. Depositors would also choose banks with the best rates, which would mean no BRRRRR for those who still want a deposit base. Private banks were once normal in England and Scotland, the large ones acted as quasi central banks or clearing houses.

This bloke has been publicly painted as Attila the Hun by the entire femistocracy for months upon months. He has been subject to considerable adverse comment by not only simpering fat-arsed mutton dressed as lamb TV mouthpieces, but by the Prime Minister of Australia.
The entire process has been co-opted into a political campaign running on the premise that a particular government has a ‘woman problem’, and as a direct consequence this bloke is – and has been for months – hanging upside down from a Canberra yardarm by the ankle.
He wants a fair trial. The defence wants him to get a fair trial. I want him to get a fair trial, in which a jury of his peers must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the allegations against him – made by a woman who apparently couldn’t remember the events in question, and who then went out of her way to destroy forensic evidence after being advised not to – are true.
As it stands now he can’t get a fair trial, and this entire shithouse episode is a dagger in the heart of what remains of the judicial (as opposed to justice) system in this country.

“Until convicted he is.”
Quite so. Every man and woman is innocent until proved guilty, unless of course, you live in Australia in 2022, where some are now deemed, due to various trendy political and social narratives, to be “guilty until proven innocent”, a complete reversal of common law. My sympathy for the young man in question has nothing to do with whether he’s guilty or not, I have no idea what ensued that night, but there is one thing I know for certain and that is that this young man’s whole case and forthcoming trial has been prejudiced by a disgraceful MSM, elite scum such as Mrs Pirate and her feminist comrades, a nauseating political class willing to throw people on pyres to suit their political narratives and even our most recent unlamented PM who was also very willing to throw people on pyres for political gains. The whole affair, from the beginning, has been utterly disgraceful. Even if he is found innocent, his life is ruined.
One of the reasons why the Pell case distressed me so much was because of the complete trashing of the presumption of innocence. It seems that many have learnt nothing, absolutely nothing since then.

This sort of thinking has been working on my mind also.
When I look at all the movies where there is a death but it is not a dead actor, I can hear groans of injustice lifting up from graveyards.
And when you consider dead people are all Democrats they would be a shoo-in in Hollywood.
How about people with diseases? Only they can really know what it is to have death looking over your shoulder, and to have your physiology pulled in multiple directions at once first by medications and then my medications to counteract the medications. Every time an actor dies in a movie and then re-appears afterwards feel this jarring sensation.
I find it very interesting that you seem to find it necessary to constantly ridicule a site which bases the bulk of its content on official government data.
I wonder why that is.

Rickw I used to have an Alaska mill. With your skills you could knock one up in a few hours of less. Use an aluminium ladder as a guide, wedged and screwed down with coach bolts. I had two ladders that fitted together for long lengths up to 9 metres as I had access to a lot of long timber. I’d cut about 300 mm for the first cut. Turn the log, square the ladder and make the second cut. When I gave the mill to my mate he made a trolley that ran on the ladder to cut the sides, saved a lot of work. The other way is just cut flitches. Use wedges to keep the kerf open have 300mm ladder overhang at each end. Open the oiler for the bar up. You’ll need a ripping chain. I had a 120cc husky with a 1200 bar. Really needed an 1800 bar but then needed another bloke. Its surprising how big a log can be milled with a bit of thought. I had a small forestry business on the side. Nothing goes to waste with the scraps being cut for the fire.

‘Actors are generally stupid people.’
– Anthony Hopkins
An actor or actress being able to pretend that he or she were homosexual (Tom Hanks, Russel Crowe), or mentally cracked (Geoffrey Rush), or autistic (Russel Crowe), or a psychopath (Charlize Theron, Robert DeNiro, Russel Crowe), or a different ethnicity (Ben Kingsley, Kamahl, Russel Crowe) or actually a woman or actually a man (Dustin Hoffman, Hillary Swank, Russ… maybe not)… used to be a sure-fire route to an Oscar.
It’s actually simpler than that, it used to be the stock in trade of acting.
I’m all in favour of getting off the Hollywood starmaker bandwagon, but the push for reparations via acting equity is stock standard Leftism, taking a cherished cultural institution and gutting it.

Interesting development – but I doubt it will go much further.
Why?
The injured party is the middle class and they are the ones the O’Biden/Harris Regime want to bankrupt.
Indolent data from official data sources has now become so manipulated and distorted to become meaningless. Recently I started collating data from the ABS on taxation about something I’d seen about the GFC. Not only could I not find the data but when trying to extrapolate the data from what was available the methodology had changed. This obfuscation at the least. Anything that makes the government look more incompetent is changed for a more favourable picture. We se this in every walk of life. Its called narrative.
Credit where it is due: Rowe’s cartoon of Bowen, while not skewering him for being way out of his depth, at least does not make him look like Alexander about to cut the Gordian knot and have all the intractable problems (that had defied so many ministers and their attempts) fall away and usher in a new Golden Age.
There is an idiotic conviction of politicians and bureaucrats that everything is most efficient when run by a central will in a central location. It is unimaginable to them that a bit of chaos, with its experimentation, newly emerged possibilities that did not exist when the previous solution was implemented, and a spirit of daring, are the real secrets of success.
Imagine if Bowen – resisting the temptation to institute ‘Electricity-Watch’ which will update once a week with the spot price of electricity with the promise you can ‘shop around to find a bargain’ – imagine if he instead set them free and said the Feds will back out of foisting policies on energy and the States must look to their own resources and make their own agreements. Less work for him and better outcomes as the states could not escape responsibility by slipping their problems beneath a sea of acronyms.
Chalmers, not Bowen, leaping into action like a startled slug:

Whoever writes the Daily Exposé is operating a cynical, well-used business model:

2) Torture official data to provide EVIDENCES that satisfy that need;

All right, West Australian Cats, which of you voted for this mob?
I read the article about the unvaccinated 19 year old Downs Sydrrome girl who died of Covid.
Very sad and very predictable outcome.
And as expected the parents are blaming everyone but themselves.

It probably won’t be the headline of the day, but it does cover a lot.
I note every time or is that all the time, the scum suggesting a tax to fix a problem have no worry about paying the tax as they are on the public teat or have so much it doesn’t affect them.
The problem is in the title.
By definition, the Daily Exposé must come up with a new exposé every day.
A tall order which could lead to corner cutting.
Re the important rape case about to start , firstly I read that he was in the building for 22 minutes from time signed in to time signed out .
Secondly she was nude as seen by Security officer later that night .
Thirdly what rapist bothers to take off all the clothes , rip off panties maybe.
I’d be looking for alcohol and Party drugs , given the time she remained out to it not leaving until 10 next morning .
So here is a possible scenario they go off for sex she passed out after undressing and he leaves.

Needs more than an uptick. Absolutely correct, except that no LGBTQWERTY performer will ever be refused a straight role. Likewise performers of colour – in the book A Wrinkle in Time Mrs Murray was described as having milky white skin and flaming red hair, but in the film (a woke flop) she was played by a black actress.
And in addition to the black Ann Boleyn, there was a movie about Mary Queen of Scots where a black guy played a sixteenth century English peer of the realm. Nothing against his acting but it made the film look like an Eddie Murphy comedy rather than a serious historical drama.
From the Oz.
If 6 million have not had their booster shot I would suggest most are not likely to by now and technically are no longer considered fully vaccinated.
In other breaking news people are actually dying in aged care. Funny how we never see stats for numbers dying in aged care compared to pre Covid.
As usual no mention of average age 84 and with comorbidities.
“Health Minister Mark Butler has called newly released Omicron figures “staggering”, warning that cases of the strain have “blown out” and that Covid will continue to be “a major health challenge for the coming couple of years at least.”
Following the release of new data this week, which has estimated that the Omicron wave was much larger than originally thought, Mr Butler called the figures “amazing.”
“We thought the case numbers were extraordinary early this year, but this new report is suggesting… that literally millions of Australians caught COVID in the early part of the year. It is just quite staggering,” he said.
The new analysis which saw researchers examine antibodies in more than 5000 blood samples has revealed an estimated 3.4 million Australians or 17 per cent of the population had contracted the virus by the end of February this year.
“We have known for some time that there are people who will catch it but have no symptoms,” Minister Butler said.
But he warned that there were still “substantial case numbers.”
“This virus is still with us,” he said. “We are seeing many thousands of people infected every day. There are still almost 3000 people in hospital today with COVID. We are seeing dozens and dozens of deaths every week.
“This is still very curious.”
Asked how we compare with other nations, following meetings with G20 Health Ministers on Monday, Mr Butler said, “we have performed extraordinarily well.”
“Australians really lined up once the vaccine finally became available,” he said. “We have one of the highest rates of double vaccination in the world.”
While Mr Butler acknowledged we should be “extraordinarily proud” of what has been achieved, he said “there is more to do.”
He noted that we could be achieving higher booster rates, with more than 6 million eligible Australians failing to book in for their third shot, and warned that there “are still dozens of people in our aged care facilities dying every week.”
“We need to get the message out that you were not fully protected, particularly against Omicron, until you have three doses,” he said.
“We need to get through winter. There is still a lot to go.”
Then there is the Susie O Brian column, no comments allowed, in Herald Sun regarding how Aboriginal stuff going to be pushed in schools. Flags, welcome to country and much more.
I looked at the first comment and was…not surprised.
The buzz words ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusion’ are borne about as if they were delivered to us from Heaven, to treat with all reverence and devotion. We might not look at them too closely. They will shine their light like the sun, and like the sun they will burn you if you look directly at them. Anyone who would try to treat them like mortal words or ideas is already blasphemous.
Just uttering the words in any connection elevates it and sanctifies it.
Everyone has their own take on them, but so long as each person’s conception is never referred to with any more detail than ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusion’ it sounds like it is the same thing. Like Wittgenstein’s ‘Beetle in the box’.
Without the laying of a charm of ‘inclusive diversity’ upon things like races no one would ever dream of defending biological males in women’s sporting events.
Because that is now blasphemy.
Yet the Beloved and I still can’t manage to catch the thing. We don’t live in isolation, we socialise both here and in Sydney, yet the dreaded coof eludes us. We’ve been in contact with those who have it, those who have had it and those who are about to get it.
It’s as if we’re armour plated. 🙂
Security officer’s evidence should be interesting.
Who knew Sneakers was a Cheech and Chong fan? Maybe we’ll get funnier movies from Screen West now?
People in aged care facilities die. We once accepted this without demur.
They aren’t called “God’s Waiting Rooms” for nothing.

What a shithead.
More cases for exactly the same number of deaths, ICU admissions and hospitalisations, is meant to be a bad thing? 17% of the population with natural immunity is a bad thing?
From Daily Mail. When the Fed and VIC Govt has opened their Moderna manufacture in 2024 will this be combined with mandates to help use up production ? They would actually be benefitting financially. Based on everything I have seen so far the odds are most likely.
“The single SUPER-SHOT Moderna vaccine protecting against Covid-19 AND the flu coming to Australia – and how you can get it
Australians will have access to a single vaccine for COVID-19 and flu
The combined shot will start trials later this year
Could mean Australians will no longer need to have two seperate vaccines.
The combined shot for flu, COVID-19 and respiratory virus RSV is in early testing stages with trials to start later this year, Moderna chief medical officer Paul Burton says.
Dr Burton expects combined vaccines will be key to fighting respiratory diseases in the aftermath of the pandemic, and to adapt to multiple strains within one season.
Mr Burton said bringing vaccines together and adapting will be the future, as we think about diseases other than COVID-19.
Meanwhile, Australia’s multi-billion dollar mRNA manufacturing hub will be bigger than initially expected.
The first of its kind in the southern hemisphere, the facility was announced in March by the Morrison government as part of an agreement with Moderna.
Finding a location has reached its final stages and a site will be announced in a few weeks, Moderna general manager Michael Azrak said.
‘It’s taken a little bit longer than we anticipated because we’re actually going to be building a larger facility than we anticipated,’ he told Sky News.
The pharmaceutical giant aims to break ground on the Victorian site before the end of the year, Mr Azrak said.
It will be operating by the end of 2024, subject to approval by the medicines regulator.
It should have everything except Richo but I wouldn’t rule that out either.
Or you may have had it but not realised, as a lot of people did, evidently, else they wouldn’t have turned up to give blood.
A natural action. To hold a firearm by the trigger. When showing it to people.
Well yes. That’s what manbun-wearing idiots from Albury do.
Think of it as evolution in action.
This isn’t about giving POC actors better, more interesting roles. There are plenty of excellent stories out there for non-euro actors to star in.
This is about the visual distortion of history. We are being forced to accept things that we know are not true. The more ridiculous the distortion, the more the pressure to conform.
In this way it then becomes easy to replace written history with lies, even obvious ones. They’re only messing around with the edges at the moment. The time will surely come, if we accept this nonsense, that more serious inroads will be made and there won’t be a thing we can do about it.
History will then be well and truly Bunk.
Rosie:
That must be a different one to the one I posted.
Mine was about a Downs Syndrome girl who died after a cocktail of narcotics and other drugs was given against medical warning which was over ruled by medical admin.
And the Not For Resus Order which was documented 8 minutes after the final dose was given – and the NFR Order wasn’t authorised by the parent/guardian.
https://www.drugs.com/pro/precedex.html#s-34067-9
Precedex is given by slow infusion usually in her circumstances, so I’m not sure where the ‘final dose’ comes in. Does it mean the bag of narcotics etc was hung and commenced at the appropriate rate 8 minutes before the NFR was ordered? In that case the infusion bag and records + whatever cardiac rhythm strips kept need to be examined to see if the infusion/bolus actually put her into a cardiac arrest.
No. This smells like the proverbial dead wombat on the side of the road.
That’s what I’m thinking too Roger.
If we’ve had it and don’t know it, and the Beloved has a raft of co-morbidities including respiratory problems, then it’s been the Tom Thumb of all firecrackers. As I mentioned yesterday, if his immune system’s shot from enjabbenation, it must have been pretty good to start with. He hasn’t had so much as a sniffle.
