    'I see everyday #politicians repeat like parrots #economic propositions they don't even start to understand, defending a model that a central #bank admitted was wrong over twelve years ago. ... The #Greens propose actual structural change and get labelled "communist" by people who have never read a balance sheet or a #Lenin text. The heterodox approach #predicted #2008, predicted the #housing #crisis, and predicted the current private #debt trap. The orthodox models predicted none of it ...'

    'The orthodox model was declared wrong by the Bank of #England in 2014. Their paper “#Money Creation in the Modern Economy” stated plainly: #banks do not lend out deposited #reserves in a multiplier chain. Banks create #deposits when they make #loans ...'

    (NZ's Social Credit Party got a Court to agree five decades earlier.)

    'The consequences are not theoretical or academic. When you worship the wrong model, you can’t do anything else than design the wrong #policy. You pretend not to see the #monopoly extracting over 6 billions from a #mortgage market they control 87% of. You don’t see that raising rates shift #income from #borrowers to banks and does not touch the supply of housing stock. You end up believing the #household metaphor is literal — that the Crown pockets are empty — when #NZ’s #Crown debt is 44% of #GDP...'

    (The OECD average is about twice that.)

    '... #Galileo was almost burned at stake for simply asking the #Inquisition #judges to look in the telescope. Same old, same old.'
    '.....
    'Gentlemen, it is clear cut #class #warfare, and the #vested interests are so encrusted in #society that they are winning. Remember that their main weakness is in numbers, they are damaging and literally #robbing the majority of us, of the New Zealand society and brainwashing many trees to think that voting for the axe is the #prudent, #family sensible thing to do. The only chance you have is when numbers talk. The #election is coming...'

    (On Madeira we have something similar. After the meter the city water pipe splits. One pipe directly feeds the kitchen, the other a 1000L IBC-tank outside. The returning pipe feeds the 150l water boiler and the bathroom.
    The city water replaced the formerly used levada - open irrigation channel coming down from the hills - as water source.)

  4. #BangkokPost - #Survey shows #Japanese #companies optimistic🧐
    "Despite optimism, Japanese firms highlighted #challenges requiring #government #action, including #labour shortages, rising #energy #costs, #household #debt and #inefficiencies in tax audits and refunds. They also urged improvements in #transport #infrastructure to strengthen #competitiveness."

    🤔These are valid and long-standing structural & societal problems in #Thailand - what has been done? #BOI #tonedeaf

  5. Dear People who hold the most power in a household.

    You can't expect the other people in your household to simultaneously:

    a) give precedence to your needs and feelings about things all the time,

    b) be happier when you're around than when you're not there.

    Those two things just don't go together. 🤷‍♀️
