Great read.

Mi ero ripromesso di non scrivere più nulla perché il discorso è ai livelli di quelli sui balneari e degli stipendi ai neolaureati.
Ideologia e conflitto d'interesse.
Dal punto economico il mercato immobiliare è di fronte a una domanda inelastica, concetto sconosciuto.

I just saw a video that said cutting SNAP would lower food prices because it would cut demand.

I'm starting to think that Econ 101 either needs to be drastically overhauled or that you cannot take it unless you commit to taking four econ courses one heavily focused on externalities and elasticity.

Our economy is running on the spending of the top 10%. It does not care about the bottom 60%. I think this is also why they aren't pushing for universal basic income right when you'd think they would to maintain consumer buying power. Our consumer economy has become reoriented around elite spending.

I keep reading about growth and economists so enthusiastic that the mainstream economy has been awarded a Nobel.
They aren't mentioning one little thing, though, the condition for it to happen: a strong welfare State.
It's in the actual study and in the theory.

Il Premio Nobel va agli autori della teoria sulla crescita che avviene tramite "Creative destruction".
Il concetto fa parte dell'economia mainstream contemporanea.
Quel di cui ci si dimentica è che per funzionare, i lavoratori hanno bisogno della cosiddetta "flexicurity".

1/ Immaginate se in agricoltura, ingegneria, medicina ed informatica ci fosse lo stesso atteggiamento degli economisti mainstream: una riluttanza a innovare, adattarsi o a mettere seriamente in discussione le basi, nonostante i bisogni sociali evidenti.

1/🧵Gli economisti spocchiosi stanno di nuovo accusando gli altri e i non economisti di non capire nulla perché è stato detto che l'economia mainstream fa un uso eccessivo della matematica. Stavolta sono d'accordo con loro perché il problema non è la matematica ma è più profondo.

We produce more than enough food for everyone in the US to ever go without any hunger at all, but we choose not to distribute access to food by distributing money for food. We could all be getting enough basic income to end poverty already, had we started small 50 yrs ago.

Instead, we did this:

As promised, here are all the answers I wrote to all the questions that a journalist recently asked me about Universal Basic Income, none of which ended up being published by them.

Why Universal Basic Income can solve poverty, insecurity, and inequality—and why opponents fear its power to shift our economy.

We don’t need more tweaks. We need new foundations.
UBI isn’t about giving more, it’s about building differently.

Questo è potenzialmente vero. Significa che in 5 anni è possibile che le capacità e le funzionalità dell'AGI siano tali da rimpiazzare la maggior parte dei lavoratori attuali. Tuttavia non è detto che ciò avvenga: lo si capisce in Paesi come l'Italia. 🧵

This appears to give the game away. The Trump regime claims that they're all about increasing domestic manufacturing, but their action to stop measuring this stuff will make it harder to show that. They were just going to lie anyway, but this makes it harder to show that their lies are indeed lies.

Viviamo in una sorta di socialismo al contrario, in cui i poveri mantengono i servizi dei ceti medio alti. E ne gioiscono pure! E nessun partito ( non extraparlamentare) ha anche solo l' intenzione di rimediare in qualche modo. Mi stupisce che l' astensionismo non sia al 70%...
