Which of you twits...

[Berzerker]

so...increasing min wage creates jobs? I aint got 1 hour of econ but that sounds fishy, not that I'd understand any study that backed it up.

oh yeah, I'm I dont have to win next week to make the play offs - I'm playing Jag and he's going for a 13-0 season and setting all sorts of poly records on the way.

[KrazyHorse]

You may carry on as you please.

I will, twit. I'm assuming that means you will cede any discussion on economics, finance, physics, mathematics, moral philosophy,...

[Egbert]

The assumption you may make is that I regard you as stark raving mad.

[KrazyHorse]

Ah, so we're back to attempting that tack?

By the way, in last 3 weeks, you've managed to:

1) Post some idiotic **** about monetary policy, banking, etc which demonstrate your complete lack of a clue
2) Spend days following me around and weakly attempting to associate me being mean to you (calling you a twit) with me being insane
3) Unilaterally call a truce
4) Cyberstalk me and mistakenly leave traces (how ****ing pathetic is that!)
5) Call another unilateral truce
6) Goto (2)



I look forward to your next visit to my linkedin page in 7-10 days

[KrazyHorse]

I sometimes wonder how it's even POSSIBLE to lose at the internet like you've done here. It amazes me every time I see it.

I mean, let's grant that I have between 40 and 60 IQ points on you, but you'd think that even someone of your meager intellect would be able to notice the warning signs when he was getting near a pit viper.

[Egbert]

KrazyHorse.
You are now on my ignore list. I can no longer see your posts. You may scream your obscenity laden rants as much as you please and I won't even see them. You may boast of how offensive you are as much as you please. Troll as you please. Be as disingenious as you please. It is the last I will hear of you, you little stuffed rooster.

[KrazyHorse]

disingenious

Getting closer...

[notyoueither]

What did he do other than look at a profile?

[KrazyHorse]

That's it.

Well, that and make some vague threats.

(I'm trying to dramatize this a little bit, because I've got him pretty close to the edge right now)

[KrazyHorse]

Basically, AS took a bunch of econ classes, wasn't smart enough to understand them, and came away thinking that the entire subject must be meaningless.

There were a few times where Kuci's lack of a financial background was apparent when he didn't know even basic 101-level stuff (like capital losses being tax-deductible, the existence of TRIPS or tax-free muni bonds)

You keep repeating this, which is weird because I knew all of those things, they were just completely irrelevant to the topic.

Didn't see any part of this discussion, but I'm assuming that the "point" albie is attempting to make is "tax-free investments exist therefore capital gains/interest taxes don't matter" and "inflation-linked investments exist, therefore inflation (well, let's say unexpected inflation to avoid the issue of neutrality of money) doesn't matter"

That is ****ing idiotic. Munis are only a relatively small part of the universe of the capital markets, and are only available to those with relatively low risk preferences. The linkers market is ****ing INCREDIBLY tiny.

In fact, in order for these to completely remove distortions due to taxes/inflation they would have to take up the entire market....

Now, the real question is whether or not the two "anonymous linkedin users" to visit my page today (a fairly unusual occurrence) were both braindead...

[notyoueither]

If David Floyd drops by, it wasn't me.

[Al B. Sure!]

Now, the real question is whether or not the two "anonymous linkedin users" to visit my page today (a fairly unusual occurrence) were both braindead...

I looked you up to see what Braindead was talking about.

[KrazyHorse]

a) That explains one of them
b) I doubt it was particularly enlightening. Other than the details of my research and TA positions, you probably knew everything on there already

[Al B. Sure!]

I wanted to see what he saw. Doesn't matter what I know. I assumed he knew nothing until checking out your linkedin profile so I wanted to see the extent of his knowledge that precipitated him calling you a poofed up rooster.
