Sex & Shenanigans

[SalaciousMonkey22]

As a kid, I would toast a piece of bread and spread peanut butter on it then sprinkle it with sugar. Can’t do that with jelly…at least I really wouldn’t

Yeah…I did that too…as…a…kid…

Creamy or crunchy?

Hey, the devil is in the details!

Some people really just need that helping hand to keep their lives moving forward...

Right? And, some folks are so tragically dumb that there is no use in trying to explain complicated concepts. My sister in law has no idea how the economy works, her answer to everything is "I don't know why they don't just print more money" she has said this in front of our cousin, who is an economics professor...

"I don't know why they don't just print more money"

Honestly? Could work! ...IF all you're printing is pennies, because it costs almost 4 pennies to make 1 penny! Money literally evaporating on the spot. Presto! Money's suddenly rarer and more valuable.

Check mate economists.

Right? Plus you're likely creating jobs with your penny-only model!

And think of the health benefits of lugging around a wheel barrow full of pennies all the time!

There are literally zero downsides to my penconomy.

There's fresh bread baking in the oven and Guinness beef stew simmering in the crockpot.

The ultimate

The ultimate

I was eating these before Fluff realized how big it was and named it the Fluffernutter. Before that we just called it a Peanut Butter and Marshmallow sandwich

The ultimate

A childhood made of these is why my teeth hurt so bad as an adult.

Fluffenutter! My sister lives in these when we were kids

I’ve never had this. But this conversation did lead me to reflect on the idea that the list of things I am certain peanut butter would not improve, is very small. Marshmallow fluff is not on that list for sure.

MMT is a real school of thought though.

I have fresh bread baking and Shepard's pie simmering.

It may be a push.

I've always loved the quote that "MMT is the Calvinball of economics." Just change the rules at a whim.

I don’t know enough about it to argue it’s merits but while I think Paul Krugman is an intelligent and thoughtful human being a Nobel Prize winning Economist is still more akin to being a Nobel Prize winning Astrologer than a Nobel Prize Winning Scientist.. Any economist who says they got it right is lying to you if not themselves.

So damn funny. I was telling my son this yesterday about Macro Econ. Of course you can predict the future, but only after you pull a bunch of constants out of your ass.
