if you want file names matching a pattern, no need for grep:

find . -name '*.py' -iname '*pattern*'

for filenames that have content matching pattern, no need for find:

grep -r --include '*.py' -l -i pattern .

no need for pipes, xargs, etc.

1. Federal min wage would be a good place to start.

2. Uh, the same as now? Just because you work for the government doesn't mean you earn min eage. I'm pretty sure Generals make more than $15k per year.

3. People that have jobs spend money in the economy to buy things. Private sector economy benefits from this.

4. You would have to do tasks to get paid. It's a job if you want it. Not forced. The idea is to curb unemployment.

US Defense spending is a US employment program. I really wish we would drop the pretense and just make it a full employment jobs program. Anyone that wants to work should be able to get a job.

The private sector can then get employees by paying above the minimum wage offered by the defense department job program.

I'm not talking about the economy failing. I'm talking prices. What do you think happens to asset prices when there are only sellers (everyone with wealth has to sell). You think poor people will have enough cash to keep prices up?

When Elon sold in his latest Tesla round the stock tanked 30% over a couple months. Repeat for Bezos, Gates, etc.

Imagine step 2 to realize the insanity. That household likely doesn't have disposable income that is greater than 25% of their unrealized cap gains, so what do they do?

1. Hope they can get a low interest loan to pay their taxes?

Or

2. Sell some assets. Think about what will happen to your 401k balance as wealthy people all over the US are forced to sell stocks. It will not be pretty.

Even though the annual government deficit is almost 7% of GDP, essentially injecting stimulus into the economy, wall st analysts are convinced high interest rates will cause a recession. CEOs have responded by slashing forecasts and employees to appease wall st.

If I had to guess, it's probably the NAT hole-punching or use of tailscale servers as an intermediary.

If you signed up for a $5 VPS to forward packets you probably would have been fine.

I sell hammers for a 25% margin.

I buy hammers for $10, sell for $12.50. My supplier increases prices with inflation to $11. To keep my 25% markup, I sell for $13.75.

I sell 1 million hammers per year.

My profit went from 2.5 million to 2.75 million, an increase of 10%.

I doubt think the IMF is making this assumption, but a lot of people would see my hammer business as extracting all inflation to myself, as my profits rose 10%. However, selling 4 hammers nets me enough profit to buy one, both years. I'm not better off. I'm the same.

As for money markets, don’t those get invested in treasury bills/notes anyway

Yeah, but the market price basically stays at $1 and whenever they "break the buck" it's a huge deal.

10 year loans "break the buck" so often that it's extremely strange SVB didn't do anything about it.

Basically they should have invested in securities that were safer and fluctuated less, but they got greedy chasing yield and got found out.

This is exactly why I use OSS whenever possible. Once you've gone through all the trouble of the post, you can spend a little more time to submit a patch.
