I'm not really an economics fan like you, so you're probably right. The real issues I'm concerned about here are the social ones. Like, do people really support a smoking ban? Fucking ridiculous.
Well, it depends if by "spending" you mean government spending. In that case, I agree, government spending is really fucking inefficient at curing recessions. As for the smoking ban, I think it's only for public places.

Stimulus Spending (Fiscal) - A
Stimulus (Monetary) - A
Care to explain?
Spending more money doesn't get you out of a recession.
Well it obviously does. Recessions are caused by shortfalls in aggregate demand.

Now I'm curious about how you think of me.
Spare muh feels plz
I think your interests differ slightly to mine, which is why there sometimes appears to be a deficit on either side. I consider you, quite broadly, an equal when it comes to things like philosophy. I haven't really been in enough debates with you, or seen enough topics of your expertise, to form a solid judgement. From what I have seen, you're definitely one of the more intelligent users.

Now you've got me rather curious about what you (and others) think of me.
I think you're really quite knowledgeable in your area of interest (law) and moderately intelligent, elsewhere. I wouldn't extend that to say you're incredibly bright, but you exude a personality of being incredibly rational and perceptive with the capacity to gain knowledge in anything that interests you.

I think you're really bright and it pisses me off when you know more about stuff than I do.
The feeling is mutual.

You're intelligent, that's for sure. A little too caught up in labels, though.
That's exactly what a populistic social democrat martyr would say.

I don't know shit about what's going on in the UK or Europe...
The Beloved Emperor Putin is keeping us safe from the Muslims invading London. That's pretty much it.

Labour Unions - A That surprised me.
By and large, I'm against almost all unions. Most cause more problems and solve problems, and most artificially inflate wages.
That's fair enough. I'm only really against public sector unions.

This is a bit more personal in comparison to my other threads. However, I posted this in Serious due to the sheer fact that I want a serious response, and the fact that this is the board with "intelligent" discussion.
I ask firstly out of sheer curiosity for how other's perceive me, and secondly because I value my intelligence as a personal characteristic over anything else. If you want to broaden this to an entire character-assassination, not just limited to my intelligence, go ahead.
I'll also tell you what I think of you, if you so wish.

But waiters are underpaid...
And the way to get them paid properly is to relieve their employers of the burden? Besides, it isn't my fault they aren't paid well.

Minimum Wage - F (Not like fucking $10 which increases inflation)
Stimulus (Monetary) - U (Explain more) Essentially monetary easing. Things like quantitative easing (which is a very crude method) and nominal income targeting (which is much, much better). The idea is that Recessions are caused primarily by drops in nominal income (aggregate demand) and thus by targeting it with a proper monetary policy, you can stop sharp demand shocks.

Yup.
Watch all the liberals flock in and say "Well we shouldn't have provoked Russia by getting former-satellite states to join the EU!"
Fuck you. You can't negotiate with psychopaths.

Here is Scott Sumner explaining the neo-monetarist idea about the Great Recession. TL;DW: - Central banks had an unnecessarily tight monetary policy in the lead up to the Financial Crisis. - The sub-prime mortgage crisis was an issue, but this tight monetary policy made it far worse. - The Recession, technically, began about six months before the fall of Lehman Brothers. - Falling NGDP caused the sub-prime issue to inflate. - The falling NGDP caused a severe drop in aggregate demand, and led to a recession.

I'll support it when it's not producing nuclear waste
"Because something doesn't immediately perform optimally, I'm going to oppose its implementation despite the fact doing as such will essentially prevent future innovation and improvement by virtue of restricting access".
That's pretty much the sentiment I get whenever people say this.
I support it being used in very small amounts until a feasible way to reduce and get rid of waste is found.
I do not support plans that feel we should just start building nuclear factories in every state until such an option is found.
Except our current path puts us on track for commercially viable Gen IV. reactors within the next few decades. I'd say the going is fine, and "opposition" to this wonderfully safe (even now) form of energy is misplaced.

To be honest, man, of the four sources you posted, none of them are reliable.
You right bro.
Let me grab my MSNBC link real quick BRB
I don't want something from MSNBC. Nor the BBC, nor the Telegraph, or the Washington Post. I'd like something, preferably, directly from a scientific journal or at least by proxy.
