Read The Billiard Ball by Asimov to understand why a gravitationally “locked” device would not work.

You lose the frame of reference to the astral bodies around it, therefore it stays in place as the Earth and everything else simply move past it. Essentially useless as an anchor.

America wants them renamed the 52nd and 53rd states. 🙄

If they make those assumptions, they are not economists, they are politicians. Learning to distinguish the difference is the same skillset boomers need to pick up on in relation to real images and AI generation… Clearly you lack in that department.

Funnily enough labour economics was taught as an elective at my undergrad in Utrecht University. This whole post makes me mad considering the amount of work it was getting through that bachelor’s, and especially so when you consider they literally had data science integrated as one of the optional minors… Which I took.

These people don’t have the slightest clue about economics beyond what they’re taught they manage to learn in highschool, and therefore forecast that pitiful amount of knowledge to an entire empirical field… Probably to make themselves feel better. Human discount model in motion.

Only 3% of the US is atheist? Either the numbers are wrong or the US is utterly fucked.

So the moderator of science memes does not know a single thing about modern economics and its empirical methodology. What a joke.
