Japan underwent about 10 years of restructuring after the collapse of the bubble. When a significant number of companies suffered a massive blow from the global financial crisis and the Great East Japan Earthquake that erupted just as the economy was about to show a recovery trend, the government decided to put out the urgent fire by supplying indiscriminate liquidity to prevent the collapse of the real economy for the time being.

However, the result was a delay in restructuring, a failure to weed out zombie companies, and the subsequent arrival of the ‘Lost 30 Years.’ As a result of the government blindly continuing life-sustaining artificial respiration treatment through banks, the timing for economic restructuring was missed, resulting in only prolonging the ‘lost’ time.

Japan used unlimited free money for bailouts and it stalled their economy for 30 years because many unprofitable companies were draining resources.

Korea is working on providing the same relief but to almost twice the economic fire. This would be devastating for SK growth and prosperity. The US did something similar for banks in 2008 and has had no widespread recovery, just fattened wealth hoarders and a stock bubble detached from reality.

Bailouts don’t work.

This is a very cool idea but given the apathy of Flock and their supporters, I worry for the health of the birds.

There’s no one thing to change that would fix things. The timeline of misfortune that leads us to this point is so erratic and constant that there is nothing that can be done to prevent it if even there was an opportunity. This is our timeline. If you have ideas on how to fix the past, start applying them now to save what future we have left.

John Wick opened my eyes. Leguizamo has really shown off his ability to subtly add to scenes. He is consistently one of the most impressive actors in movies he has a role and stands out despite the screen time he has.

What an amazing middle finger. Very little knuckle, full fingered, fist in anger, lips curling for an expletive. Fucking beautiful form.

And the cost of bits has… stayed the same. So why has software gotten more expensive, Nintendo?

Exactly this! India has tried and is just not able to maintain a customer base that wants Indian silicon. Institutions try it out and go back to Taiwanese chips.

Glad he’s recognizing the problem and trying to get help. Instant gratification is a hell of a drug.

If she’s about to shun she’s possibly a Mennonite.

Not a thought behind those eyes. He seems fun.

Also, this thread is filled with people who have no purpose but to spread their own anger and hate as they body shame a cat and their roommate. The fuck is wrong with people?

This is what happens when teachers tell kids they won’t have access to calculators for tests when they grow up and those kids just accept they don’t know math. Now they’re in advertising.

Coyly? It was clear the moment “left-wing causes” became the noun instead of any specific group. This article is upset at a majority of the political spectrum that doesn’t think authoritarians are swell.

Is that a real photo? Sheryl Crowe looks plastic and Russell’s jacket has no texture.

It’s from before streaming so each season has 23 episodes. Current TV has 10 episodes a season. It’s twice as valuable as regular TV!

At least he has a worm friend who lives him so he isn’t crying alone. Slimy probably gives him a hug and it helps Oscar feel loved.

They pray a lot too. Ever see the hidden Bible stuff?

“I cast Detect Dead… Letter.”

Traditional studio systems work but traditional publishing models don’t.

Late last year Wikimedia disqualified two potential board members from eligibility days before the vote. They are notable for their push for transparency.

Wikimedia is moving towards opaque and draconian leadership methods. They are actively taking advantage of the trust we put in them to make disingenuous moves that will prevent Jimmy Wales from losing power over the knowledge. He’s basically one bad decision from partnering with AI and now fewer people can stop him.
