  • M2 is one way to measure the total amount of money in the economy. M0 is all cash money in circulation. M1 is M0 plus all money that can be spent at will, for instance in checking and savings accounts. M2 includes M0 and M1, plus stuff like short term deposits and money market funds.

    When M2 shrinks it means there’s less spendable money in the economy, so people spend less. Businesses tend to have to lower their prices to get people to buy. The value of a dollar (or a yen or whatever) goes up, which sounds awesome except for a few huge catches. Now it’s always better to hang on to money rather than exchange it for goods and services. It also weirdly increases the value of debt, so anyone who borrowed anything going into this is screwed. If you’re still reading there’s other stuff that happens like it becomes almost impossible to avoid mass layoffs and monetary policy basically implodes but this shit is boring and I want to go back to getting high and watching the Simpsons










  • Trolling is a art. Trolling should be done softly, and should leave plausible deniability until and unless you get to a point where blowing your cover maximizes lulz. Trolling should split the room into roughly the following groups: 85% bewildered bystanders, 10% angry, and 5% who see what you’re doing and either leave you alone or join in. Those numbers are fluid bit the point holds that in ideal situation the majority of people are either too confused to say anything or are on your side.

    As I’ve grown up (read: I am not a thirteen year old boy anymore) I’ve started to realize that beyond being mean-spirited bigotry is just not very lulzy. In general good trolling shines a light on how someone who is being loud about their very strong and very wrong opinions online is a complete moron. Annoying the fuck out of hate groups is also acceptable.

    Edit: there’s also just being weird and fucking with people by way of a harmless prank

    In conclusion trolling is a land of contrasts.
