Taxpayer bailouts of private companies with STRINGS ATTACHED? Well I NEVER
Business guy: My sales are down, I need money

Government: OK but only under these conditions

Business guy: what are you, a socialist?
Expecting government to firehose a gazillion dollars in cash at your business no-questions-asked is a lot of things, but capitalism it is not
The only logical solution to all this is a government program to send everyone a green Sharpie to write an extra zero on our money

We have passed a grim milestone #DavesInfographics
*if you accept the theory that Elvis "died"
There is a compelling theory that the universe contains a fixed amount of Elvis that can neither be created or destroyed.

E = MC^2
where
E = Elvis
M = Memphis
C = Cadillac

I have never been so proud
In a fair world, Joe Exotic would be on the cover of GQ and Carole Baskin on the cover of Vogue as our new fashion icons
Some people watch Downton Abbey or Mad Men for the cool clothing, I watch Tiger King

My 116 favorite quotes from Money: Sound and Unsound, by Joseph.T. Salerno (2015)
@jtsale @mises #AustrianEconomics #SoundMoney
1. “The idea of sound #money was present from the very beginning of modern monetary theory in the works of the 16th-century Spanish #Scholastics who argued against debasement of the coinage by the king on ethical and economic grounds”
J.T.Salerno
2. “It was #Fisher and not #Keynes who was the true founder of modern macroeconomics with its aggregative reasoning and its central notion of politically managed fiat money”

Thread updating you about China vs The US. You're about to become incredibly smart, wise, you’ll really really like yourself and you’ll wake up tomorrow with new kitchen skills.
Year-to-date, the U.S. goods deficit with China is at $199b, down 10.2% from the same time last year
“Whatever must happen ultimately should happen immediately” Henry Kissinger
In August 2019, Trump implementation of new 10% tariffs on $300b worth of imports
Sept = 112b in clothing, footwear, textiles
Dec = 160b in consumer electronics, toys, Christmas ornaments
“Most foreign policies that history has marked highly, in whatever country, have been originated by leaders who were opposed by experts” Henry Kissinger
The existing tariffs on $250b was +/- 29% of imported goods
The September tariffs increased that to 69% nbcnews.com/business/busin…

7 REASONS WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT BUYING FROM YOU
----------

(NB: There is a special offer for you at the end!)

If you are not selling, you are not making money. Period!

There is no 'dancing round the chair' on this one.

If your sales are down, you need help and you need help now.
Selling is right about the best skill you could ever develop because its effect will show up in every other area of your life.

Like every other skill, it can be learnt.

Here I share 7 reasons why people are not buying from you
First, I'll say this, when people do not buy from you, it is because of certain objections in their mind and here are the 5 major ones:

1. No money (price, the most common of all)

2. Not urgent

3. Not for me

4. No trust

5. Not you (I have another source)

1. This thread will examine how the U.S. Federal Reserve (FED) came to be.

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” - Henry Ford
2. The enormity of this topic, especially re the legal right to create money, requires 100s of pgs to cover properly. This thread will provide only a short intro. To fully understand the power derived from creating money, I highly recommend further research into the FED.
3. For a good beginner’s guide (under 200 pages) read Dishonest Money: Financing the Road to Ruin, by Joseph Plummer. For a much more thorough account (six hundred pages), I highly recommend The Creature from Jekyll Island.

Prediction: a huge class action lawsuit by influencers banned or demonetized by social networks will lead to recognizing & protecting:
- accounts as personal property
- posts as free speech

The more livelihoods depend on social influence, the likelier this becomes.
To be featured in this class action lawsuit:

Shadow banning

There are several legal precedents for this:
1) malls are regulated as public spaces and must protect speech and assembly rights even though they're private minnpost.com/cityscape/2015…
2) utilities (gas, water, electric) aren't allowed to cut people off even if they miss bills.
