Policy wonk proposes practically eliminating cash
Hershmeister replied to Hershmeister's topic in General Chat
So this week the wsj published a responsive editorial to this article. It is stellar "As for the campaign for zero cash in the service of negative interest rates, Mr. Rogoff’s brief is best seen not as detached scientific analysis but as a kind of left-wing crotchet. Strip away the technical pretense and what you have is politics. The author wants the government to control your money. It’s as simple as that."

Semi Auto Surplus Rifle Collection
Hershmeister replied to Ramjo's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
Nice collection! I may have a spare 49/56 i can let go. Let me check.... -
I know that part - i was wondering how the clones differed from these builds? Aren't there some differences?
-
Do they accept these:?
-
As a devils advocate question - what would be the feature difference between this built gun and one of the clones out there?

Policy wonk proposes practically eliminating cash
Hershmeister replied to Hershmeister's topic in General Chat
All right ya cheap bastages ... I can't copy the full Article but here are some select morsels for your enjoyment To be clear, I am proposing a “less-cash” society, not a cashless one, at least for the foreseeable future. The first stage of the transition would involve very gradually phasing out large denomination bills that constitute the bulk of the currency supply. Of the more than $4,200 in cash that is circulating outside financial insti-tutions for every man, woman and child in the U.S., almost 80% of it is in $100 bills. In turn, $50 and $20 bills would also be phased out, though $10s, $5s and $1s would be kept indefinitely. Today these smaller bills constitute just 3% of the value of the cur-rency supply. Perhaps the most challenging and funda-mental objection to getting rid of cash has to do with privacy—with our ability to spend anonymously. But where does one draw the line between this individual right and the government’s need to tax and regu-late and to enforce the law? Most of us wouldn’t want to clamp down on some-one’s right to make the occasional $200 pur-chase in complete privacy. But what about a $50,000 car or a $1 million apart-ment? We should be able to reduce the problems I’ve de-scribed here while also ensuring that ordinary people can still use small bills for conve-nience in everyday transactions. And my favorite. this refusal to see that negative interest rates is a signal of a bad economy thus savers hoard cash In principle, cutting interest rates below zero ought to stimulate consumption and investment in the same way as normal monetary policy, by encouraging borrow-ing. Unfortunately, the existence of cash gums up the works. If you are a saver, you will simply withdraw your funds, turning them into cash, rather than watch them shrink too rapidly. Enormous sums might be with-drawn to avoid these loses, which could make it difficult for banks to make loans—thus defeating the whole purpose of the policy. Take cash away, however, or make the cost of hoarding high enough, and central banks would be free to drive rates as deep into negative territory as they needed in a severe recession. People could still hoard small bills, but the costs would likely be pro-hibitive for any realis-tic negative interest rate. If necessary, central banks could also slap temporary fees on any large with-drawals and deposits of paper currency. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

Very interested- will these builds be on flats i assume?

No such thing as a flare gun Just flare launchers or signaling devices .... Now if you put something else in them they can magically turn into a destructive device.... "Section 5845(f)(3) excludes from the term “destructive device” any device which is neither designed or redesigned for use as a weapon and any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device." https://www.atf.gov/file/55446/download

What do they charge per $1000 of coverage? PS: my homeowners covers all non-firearm personal possessions as part of my personal property coverage. -
