Fractional reserve is fine when properly managed. We can talk about how much reserves should be on hand but zero is incredibly inefficient.

As long as loans are actually paid back, it’s not inflatiionary over the long term since the dollars are returned (with interest) and that money is not chasing goods and services. Defaulted loans are different, so you need to have good risk management and keep those under control.

Wealth inequality is simply the result of freedom. People make choices, not all of those choices are good ones. If you started fresh and gave everyone the same amount of money, inequality will return as time goes on. It’s the natural order of things. Some people may not like it, but true equality == slavery. If you want a truly equal society, we have a place where everyone has the same housing, food, clothing, etc. We call that place prison because that’s what it takes to enforce that system.

@midway you're deeply misinformed. fractional reserve is not "fine" on any level, it's fraud. it's double-book accounting. it means the bank does not have your money. especially when combined with lending at interest, the bank creates money out of nothing, loans it out to people, then gets paid back plus interest, requiring perpetual, inflationary debt money creation that is mathematically impossible to ever repay. this is BY DEFINITION inflationary.

i don't expect everyone to be equal, or have equal outcome. i expect *** equal OPPORTUNITY*** meaning we don't have some rules for private bankers and others for private individuals, specifically that they control the creation of fake debt-money (counterfeit, essentially, with a power monopoly of the state, yet they're not answerable to the taxpayers) yet the rest of us can't create a competing currency.

what we have is socialized risk, and privatized profit. this level of wealth inequality isn't just a result of freedom, it's primarily a result of fraud, and lack of freedom

so i don't know what crack pot econ school you went to but you should ask for a refund

in reply to woodland creature

If a bank must keep all of your deposits on hand, it can’t loan money out and would therefore have to charge you fees to hold it. That is a very inefficient use of capital.

I never said that money should be loaned out that would be impossible to repay. That is the exact point I made
proper risk management is key. Some loans will default to be sure
it’s the real world. But money paid back isn’t inflation over the long term because you are taking money out of circulation by paying back a loan. That money is not chasing goods and services and acts as a demand suppressant to counteract the demand increase by the loan.

If you want to live in a world without a credit market, good luck to you. It is literally the basis of our entire modern society. Go live out in the woods and barter
there’s a ton of empty space out there.

This is, in no way, a defense of how every detail of our system today. But the underlying concepts are fine. It’s all in the risk management. I’m fine with there not being “too big to fail” banks
those are a bad idea. Reasonable regulation on what banks can do based on their balance sheet is important. Under that scheme, some banks can fail and their losses need not be socialized. This would change consumer as well as institutional behaviors that are the core issues with the system. Risk, like pain, can be a good thing
it helps prevent doing stupid things. There should be risk in the system. Trying to eliminate it is what leads to dumb policies.

in reply to midway

@midway yes, a bank should keep all your deposits on hand unless it's an investment account and you explicitly authorize them to invest it on your behalf. if that costs money then so be it, there's value there. you should pay for it.

the fractional reserve system we have is beyond fraudulent ,there's zero reserve ratio, they create the money for loans out of nothing, so it's not like they actually loan out "your" money they loan out fake money that they litereally punched up on a computer out of nothing (this is one of the primary ways money is created in the """federal""" """reserve""" bank system, through loan origination. so to be absolutely clear, that's so far from the function of a savings bank- it's something completely different. again, the system is fraudulent.

and the taxpayers are on the hook for endless bailouts. this is how we ended up with 25% of our federal budget being interest on the debt. the system needs to be burned to the ground and replaced with sound money, imo a combination of constitutional gold and silver money, and non-fiat crypto like btc, and allowing other competing currencies.

in reply to woodland creature

Feel free to bury metals in your backyard and barter. I’m good making interest from a bank on spare cash. Credit isn‘t a bad thing when used properly. It’s how we have grown and advanced over the last century. Is it perfect? No. Should people diversify? Yes. But full reserve banking makes no sense. If you want a bank that is more local and looks out for its customers more, credit unions are a thing. Different options for different people.

Anti-Obesity Drugs Market Estimated to Experience a Hike in Growth by 2035


Anti-obesity drugs consist of various pharmaceutical treatments aimed at helping individuals manage obesity and related health issues.

The global anti-obesity drugs market size is projected to grow from $12.8 billion in 2024 to $104.9 billion in 2035, representing a CAGR of 21.1%, till 2035. The report has been segmented into Distribution by Type of Molecule (Biologics and Small Molecules), Active Compound Used (Tirzepatide, Semaglutide, Retatrutide, Survodutide, Cagrilintide and Semaglutide, Orforglipron, Liraglutide and Other Active Compounds), Mechanism of Action (GLP-1 Agonist / GIP Agonist, GLP-1 Agonist / GCGR Agonist, GLP-1 Agonist, GLP-1 Agonist / Amylin Analogue, GLP-1 / GCGR / GIP Agonist and Other Mechanisms of Action), Type of Agonist (Single-Agonist, Dual-Agonist and Tri-Agonist), Action Pathway (Centrally Acting, Peripherally Acting and Centrally Acting, and Peripherally Acting), Route of Administration (Oral and Parenteral), Geographical Regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America), Sales Forecast and Key Players.

Several developers have the necessary capabilities to develop anti-obesity drugs, across the world. During our research, we identified 225 anti-obesity / weight loss drugs developed by close to 120 drug developers, worldwide. The anti-obesity drugs market is experiencing a steady growth, owing to the increasing prevalence of obesity and heightened awareness about the adverse effects associated with obesity.

The anti-obesity drugs market is highly fragmented, featuring the presence of both established companies as well as emerging start-ups. Notable examples of companies having a strong foothold in this industry (in alphabetical order) include Boehringer Ingelheim, Eli Lily, Novo Nordisk and Pfizer Inc. Further, majority of the companies in the weight loss drugs market are presently headquartered in North America.

Interestingly, majority of the weight loss drug candidates are currently being evaluated in the clinical stages of development; of these, around 50% of the drugs are in Phase II of clinical trials. Notable examples of these drugs (in alphabetical order) include bremelanotide (developed by Palatin), eloralintide (LY3841136) (developed by Eli Lilly) and M1Pram (developed by Adocia). Further, close to 40% of the total weight loss drugs are in the discovery / preclinical stage of development.

Further, majority of the drugs in anti-obesity drugs market can be administered through oral and subcutaneous route of administration. This can be attributed to the increased patient ccompliance and enhanced absorption rate of drugs through these routes. Examples of drugs which can be administered through both oral and subcutaneous route of administration (in alphabetical order) include GZR18 (developed by Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals) and SCO-094 (developed by SCOHIA PHARMA).

Livestream: Palestine triggering "global revolution,” says Francesca Albanese #Palestine electronicintifada.net/blogs/e


Someone educate the admins at mastodon.social that holocaust and Holocaust are different things. Note the capitalisation.

What israel is perpetrating in Palestine is *a* holocaust, not *the* Holocaust. And yes, it is genocide. And yes, they’re also guilty of close to eight decades of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and settler colonialism. All these things can be (and are) true at the same time.

Basically, if you’re defending israel in any way, shape, or form right now, you’re the worst of the worst. Almost a century ago, you’re the kind of person who would have been cheering on Hitler. And yes, that’s also a valid comparison.

(Genocide-loving Germans on mastodon.social don’t @ me. My mentions are a genocide-apologist-free zone.)

in reply to Aral Balkan

stop calling every genocide a "holocaust", an holocaust is a sacrifice, an offering, it's the total opposite of a genocide

The jews were not genocided as a some sort of sacrificial ritual, and neither are the palestinians

That's why we call the genocide of the jews "Shoah" which means "disaster", and we should use the same vocabulary when speaking of the palestinian genocide, it's not a sacrifice, it's a genocide

in reply to Aral Balkan

Language essentialism is a big sign of
Nazism/Fascism. As per Umberto Eco:

"Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak.[...] [E]lements of Ur-Fascism are common to different forms of dictatorship. All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning. But we must be ready to identify other kinds of Newspeak, even if they take the apparently innocent form of a popular talk show"

This is another of those scenarios @pluralistic is fond of reminding us of, where those responsible were warned, loudly, before the damage & forged ahead anyway.

It's bad enough that we, modern humanity, collectively, can't stop pissing where we sleep, but rewarding the biggest bed pissers with billionaire status might be just a little over the top in terms of bad idea'ness...

Mes amis, maintenant que les sionistes ne sont plus en sĂ©curitĂ© en IsraĂ«l, est-ce qu’il va falloir leur trouver une nouvelle terre pour y fonder un autre État ? Parce que l’argument principal pour cet État paria, c’était que le peuple juif fuyait la persĂ©cution
 et aujourd’hui, ils fuient la guerre, par bateau.

Leo que los #jueces irĂĄn a la #huelga.

BĂĄsicamente, porque el gobierno estĂĄ intentando hacer la oposiciĂłn mĂĄs objetiva para que no entren hijos de jueces por favoritismo, sino porque aprueban.

¿Quién respalda esa huelga? La asociación conservadora de jueces y fiscales.

¿Cuåntas huelgas ha habido estos años por la falta de recursos de los juzgados? ¿O por un Constitucional que no se renovaba, poniendo en tela de juicio todo el sistema judicial?

No hay mĂĄs preguntas señorĂ­a. El ataque por tierra, mar y aire a este gobierno es apabullante... 😓

New Day / New Change of Mind by Leaderless Trump!

Trump surprised immigration hardliners last week when his administration announced it would pause some immigration raids that were hurting the agriculture and hospitality industries.

Then just as quickly, the MAGA pendulum swung back.

A new wave of raids would target immigrants in Democrat-run cities — and Monday there were signs that farms, hotels and restaurants again will be subject to raids

Como sĂ© que Mastodon estĂĄ lleno de gente lista y activista vengo con una peticiĂłn de ayuda: si la empresa de aguas de tu municipio te cobra un gasto de agua desorbitado (estamos hablando de una salvajada cercana a los 1000 euros) y tĂș dices que es imposible que exista ese gasto por mĂĄs que ellos digan, Âżhay alguna manera de demostrarlo? Âżde reclamar y que te den la razĂłn?

Estamos alucinando con la factura y lo peor es que allĂ­ nos han dicho que la lectura del contador estĂĄ bien, asĂ­ que a lo mejor fue de una pĂ©rdida de agua ya arreglada porque este mes la lectura vuelve a estar en valores normales. Les hemos dicho que es imposible, que no ha habido ninguna pĂ©rdida, asĂ­ que como no se arreglase por arte de magia, tiene que ser otra la razĂłn. El fontanero nos ha confirmado que no hay pĂ©rdida. Ellos insisten en que la factura es correcta. Les hemos dicho que para ese gasto de agua tendrĂ­amos que tener una piscina olĂ­mpica en casa o algo asĂ­, que no hay forma posible, es que estĂĄn de coña. ÂżOpciones? 😖

Guys I trust you more than random search results. How do you deal with an avoidant woman? A woman who won't say yes or no even though there's chemistry and tension, how do you break through her shell ("break" shouldn't conjure images of force it's a gentle cracking of a suffocating dome, it's saving her) and make (again, so many people think this implies some sort of force, no no no, when you make someone get out of the way of a speeding bus at the last second is that bad??? No it's heroic!) her understand that the two of you have permission from the universe to be together and to enjoy your time together and to be devoted to each other???????? You bros seem to have it figured out I know at least some of you faggots are married and shit.

Well what I'm doing is offered myself to install Signal or Deltachat on their phones. Specially to people who are normal users (friends who don't care or don't know how to) and by now a few had say yes. Some just install these apps without a problem. Sometimes I just tell them:"you probably have a dozen apps that you don't use, so why not this one so we can message?"
There's probably other options.

Why is this man, AAron Fisher, speaking to ICE officers in LA like this?

Well, it’s because he’s a professional agitator who works for Statecraft media, a democrat organization who puts specific activist in roles.

Democrats can hire professional agitators for specific jobs and they’ll go out and do it.

So, who paid AAron?

Construction of ESA’s ambitious LISA mission begins

Today, the European Space Agency (ESA) and OHB System AG sealed their agreement to build ESA's Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, LISA. A bold scientific enterprise, the triple-spacecraft mission will be the first space-based observatory to study gravitational waves: ripples in spacetime caused by the most powerful events in the Universe, such as pairs of supermassive black holes colliding and merging.

Mes amis, voilĂ  une question qu’on n’entend jamais sur les plateaux des « grandes dĂ©mocraties » : pourquoi, lors de la crĂ©ation de l’entitĂ© nommĂ©e Satanique en 1948, les villages chrĂ©tiens de Palestine ont Ă©tĂ© rasĂ©s, leurs habitants massacrĂ©s ou chassĂ©s vers le nord du Liban et la Syrie ? Les fameux dĂ©fenseurs des droits de l’homme Ă©taient oĂč Ă  ce moment-lĂ  ? Silence radio, pas un mot, pas une rĂ©solution. Pourtant, il n’y avait pas de Hamas Ă  l’époque, pas de roquettes artisanales, et certainement pas de chrĂ©tiens armĂ©s qui menaçaient qui que ce soit. Ceux qui ont fui, comme les habitants de Kafr Bir’im (expulsĂ©s en 1948, village dĂ©truit en 1953), d’Iqrit (expulsĂ©s en 1948, village rasĂ© en 1951), de Ma’alul, al-Manshiyya, ou encore de Saffuriyya, Ă©taient des familles chrĂ©tiennes ou mixtes, dĂ©logĂ©es sans autre forme de procĂšs.
**
**Et aujourd’hui, qu’est-ce qu’on voit ? Les pays qui se disent « culturellement chrĂ©tiens » n’ont jamais levĂ© le petit doigt pour permettre Ă  ces familles de revenir sur leurs terres, ou mĂȘme de rĂ©clamer un État chrĂ©tien en Palestine. Pourquoi ? Parce que ce qui motive les dĂ©cideurs occidentaux, ce n’est pas la justice, ni la foi, ni la mĂ©moire, mais bien la haine de l’Arabe, qu’il soit chrĂ©tien ou musulman, ça ne fait aucune diffĂ©rence. On a ouvert toutes les portes pour les ashkĂ©nazes venus de Pologne, de Russie, d’Ukraine, de Hongrie – souvent mĂȘme avant les juifs natifs ! mais les chrĂ©tiens et les musulmans natifs ? Qu’ils aillent croupir dans les camps du Liban ou s’exiler en Syrie, ça n’intĂ©resse personne.
**
**Au fond, pourquoi ne pas rĂ©clamer un État chrĂ©tien en Palestine ? Et pourquoi pas un État palestinien musulman aussi, sur la mĂȘme terre, pour ceux qui y vivent depuis toujours ? Les trois ont autant le droit d’exister dans cette rĂ©gion, et sĂ»rement bien plus que ceux dĂ©barquĂ©s d’Europe de l’Est avec des valises pleines de mythes et d’idĂ©ologie.
**
**Mais tant que la seule boussole sera la gĂ©opolitique du mĂ©pris et de l’amnĂ©sie sĂ©lective, il n’y aura ni justice ni paix. La mĂ©moire des villages disparus Kafr Bir’im, Iqrit, Saffuriyya, Ma’alul, et tant d’autres restera gravĂ©e, bien aprĂšs les discours hypocrites et les grandes messes sur la coexistence.
