I’m assuming there must be downtime for maintenance and quality checks.

Oil prices are already plunging.

Supply is about 5 million barrels per day more than demand.

The last bailout was required because the banking system was the artery of the economy.

As irresponsible as they were, they needed to be functional to allow the economy to function.

It is hard to see how the government can afford to bailout the “AI” sector.

It is also not critical to the economy. In fact, you could argue the bubble is costing the economy in terms of opportunity costs, increased energy prices, consumer prices for laptops, hard drives, etc.

You realise people can scroll up and read what he said?

Outside very rare medical conditions, circumcision has zero medical benefit.

It literally rejects empiricism.

Production must equal Consumption plus investment.

An excess of production leads to companies closing down.

Reducing consumption (via getting rid of workers, reducing wages, etc.) will lead to an imbalance that must correct itself.

This can be forestalled by private debt, government debt or exporting the surplus but this is unsustainable.

I got it on Steam on sale.

It’s great fun.

Totally recommend.

It is strange.
