a reminder that the history of banking is littered with banks' failed promises to convert bank deposits at par and on demand without the state, because state backing of that promise involves proper regulation - the social contract with banks.

as Prof Chick (RIP) brilliantly put it: the fundamental story in banking is par convertibility as a social contract between the state and banks 
this is why par convertibility is expensive for banks, and money is hierarchical:
banks will try to manufacture credible promises to covert at par on demand without expensive state backing (like shadow money)
banks will try to manufacture credible promises to covert at par on demand without expensive state backing (like shadow money)

Was reanimation unsuccesful?
Poll & 🧵:
First, let's go #BackToBasics w/ lactate:
💉 2 enantiomers: L & D
💉 Formed from pyruvate by LDH (usual ratio 10:1)
💉 PKa 3.8 (lactate predominant over lactic acid)
💉 Can be used for ATP formation or gluconeogenesis (lac➡️pyruvate➡️A-CoA or lac➡️pyruvate➡️oxaloacetate)

It appears America's current foreign policy is seriously out of whack with the rest of the world's morality. "The UN...failed to condemn an attack on a detention center for migrants in Libya after the United States did not endorse a proposed statement." english.alarabiya.net/en/News/north-…
"11:55 p.m. The UN "will issue a statement condemning the attack on a migrant detention camp near Libya's capital of Tripoli, but there is no agreement yet on the text.... Diplomats... said the United States was waiting for instructions from Washington." yahoo.com/news/latest-un…
America has uncoupled not only Libya, but Venezuela, China, North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran. Let's see which one runs off the tracks first. Iran has charted a new courses knowing full well that their oil is important to Europe and China. foxnews.com/world/irans-ha…

@mikeinthevalley @GlobalBC 1/ And I’m seriously tired of the consequences of money laundering on our ppl and province. I’m seriously tired of no one being held accountable. I’m seriously tired of the lack of answers. I’ll be happy to be quiet on this once it is fixed, but
@mikeinthevalley @GlobalBC 2/ your asinine comments are why too many in govt have been quiet. The fact you’re more outraged by seeing someone fighting for action than the issue itself tells me enough.
@mikeinthevalley @GlobalBC 3/ And FTR: Damn proud to be the Mayor of PoCo, my hometown. Able to walk and chew gum. And if you care to do a modicum of research you’ll see that in under 100 days in office we’ve done a lot to get the city #backtobasics delivering core services to residents.
