Guess that’s one way to reduce inventory. #415985Participant[quote=alarmclock]fixing homelessness by putting a homeless person in a house is post hoc reasoning. using similar reasoning, if homebuilding is a sign of a healthy economy, can’t we simply make the economy healthy by building more houses?[/quote]
Building houses for the homeless is dysfunctional, but burning and demolishing dwelling units is also dysfunctional. In this case these homes are worth nothing, what is the social cost of giving the homeless bus tickets to flynt and offering them houses? Think of it as Urban Homesteading.
We settled the west by giving 40 acres to every person willing to grab a stake
and claim it and live on it for 5 years, why not the same for Flynt?The City of Baltimore gave away row houses for a dollar in the late 70’s.
Quite a good deal for people who hung in there for 15 years.June 15, 2009 at 3:15 PM in reply to: “Phantom Inventory” . . . gets bulldozed?????

Quite a good deal for people who hung in there for 15 years.June 15, 2009 at 3:11 PM in reply to: Japanese Citizens Detained at Swiss Border with Fake Bonds? #415980Participant[quote=XBoxBoy]Okay, if we’re going to talk conspiracy theories, here’s my version:
The Japanese were Yakuzi who were brokering a deal between Iran and France. The deal was for Iran to buy a nuke from France for 100 billion dollars. The Iranians, being the clever sort decided rather than pay with actual dollars, they would just print 134 billion in counterfeit bonds. (100B for the French, 34 billion commission to the Yakuzi) The Yakuzi were on their way to deposit the bonds in a Swiss bank for the French. BUT! The CIA got wind of the deal and tipped Italy, thus stopping the sale of a nuke to Iran.

You can buy a nuke for $100 million.
They just aren’t that expensive.
pakistan builds and sells them, Israel builds them, China builds them.
Look a Nuclear reactor is 2-5 Billion. If you have 10 Racs, you have the
capacity to build nuclear bombs.Say a good physics technician is $100K/year in the thrid world,
You are talking of 200,000 Man years of labor in money, if you assume some amount for equipment and overhead.For this kind of money, you get more then a nuke.
