Overnight Open Thread (16 Jan 2015)
Therefore, this inevitable, and by all accounts brutal upcoming recession, will coincide with two unprecedented and extremely dangerous conditions that should make the next downturn worse than 2008. First, the Fed will not be able to lower interest rates and provide any debt-service relief for the economy. Second, the federal government increased the amount of publicly-traded debt by $8.5 trillion (an increase of 170 percent), and ran $1.5 trillion deficits to try to boost consumption through transfer payments.Nearly half of millennials believe the American dream is dead. Well, if they keep falling for democrats come election time, the dream will remain dead.
Millennials, however, have not deserted liberalism for the open arms of conservatism. In some ways, support for the Democratic Party and President Obama has grown.
A fall poll conducted by the Harvard Institute of Politics found that 45 percent of millennials prefer the Democrats to win the 2016 presidential election. That's only a one percentage point increase from the spring, but only 36 percent of millennials wanted the Republicans to regain control of the White House. Support for Republicans fell four percentage points from the spring.

Prohibition in the United States began on January 16, 1920. Oh NY Can someone explain to me how this is in the best interests for Americans in NY? Bill would allow new cabbies to skip written English test.The proposal would allow drivers to get their hack licenses with just a cursory oral exam and without offering any proof they can read or write the language, including traffic signs.
If we're not even gonna try to assimilate newcomers into being an American, we may as well just stop. No other country does this. Cat Videos
"These biofuels have been procured by Department of the Navy at prices that are on par with conventional fuels, as required by law, and are certified as ‘drop-in’ replacements that require no engine modifications or changes to operational procedures,"
I find it hard to believe that the Navy has biofuel in the quantity they need at prices that are on par with conventional fuels (especially this $2.05 a gallon statement for this deployment). Biofuels have consistently cost far more than conventional fuels. Of course, it's probably a shell game. The taxpayers are probably paying the difference in the cost via grants from the USDA to firms that signed up for this initiative so they can offset the cost of feedstocks used to produce the biofuels as part of the Farm-to-Fleet program. Or perhaps the firms are getting tax credits from the Renewable Fuel Standard and other credits (agriculture, etc.). The Navy buys fuel at the price cap mandated by RFS and the biofuel producers make up the difference via other means. So what IS the true cost? Here's an article from almost a year ago talking about biofuel.
what are the impacts of the plunge in crude oil prices? First of all, my estimate is that it takes crude oil at about US$140 for most cellulosic biofuels to be economic without subsidies or mandates. Thus, without government intervention, there would be no future for cellulosic biofuels with crude oil prices well below US$100.Satellite Deniers Oh boy. Now the warmists say 'the satellites are lying' in regard to global temperature. Damned Anthem This is a nice blend of 80's metal, 90's industrial, and maybe Hans Zimmer.

And I refuse to call it Climate Change because "Climate Change" is a useless concept. Of course climate changes. Jeebus.

And it went primarily to pay cronies for bad decisions and increase the size of government.

Lying does two things.
1. Put off recognition of bankruptcy
2. When recognition comes it will be because there's nothing for anyone to recover rather than when the liar goes underwater (when most of the value of his debts can still be covered)
Which leads to much bigger booms when they happen.

Interest rates and base money are both tools, not policies. If the Fed signals a willingness to support a reasonable nominal GDP trend, we can have price stability and growth. Recessions and booms alike can be ameliorated and moderated to something closer to the ideal -- to be sure, proper monetary policy is never a source of growth, but like the rains to the crops, its excesses and deficits will limit the fruits of any seed no matter how robust or attenuated.

There is no good place to put my retirement funds. Never mind growth - I
just want to preserve value when the next stage of this depression
kicks in. And I can't even do that. I believe we are being lied to about

and watch them crash, or watch cash inflate away.

the real rate of inflation. It's at least 10-15%.
There are those who claim what we have is deflation, that prices are actually going down.
---
What we have had is target inflation of 2% for pretty much a century, which was actually more than that because the way they calculate it keeps changing in order to bear less and less resemblance to reality.
The problem is the way they got it wasn't to simply print money and push it out to the economy through deficit spending. They did it through massive expansion of loans (of which the federal government's debt is the most obvious face, but every mortgage, credit card, student or auto loan is also part of the beast).
That creates increasing instability. When that finally breaks, those debts' worthlessness will cascade, undoing, if we're lucky, just the last 20 years of expansion. Which will be massive deflation (think DJIA around 2000).

he should be on that list of best song writers (won by irving berlin, in my opinion) for originality, longevity, range.
from "hello walls" to "crazy" to "turn out the lights (the party's over)" he wrote in every genre.*

which is not technically correct. The first Boomers were born in 1945,
and their kids started showing up around around 1965.
---
But their grandkids started showing up around 1985.
I had a discussion with friends in college about what would define Gen X and the consensus was that the Boomers' kids outnumbered us, but the grandkids would outnumber all of us and thus we'd be screwed vis a vis things like SS and Medicare (we'd never h=get the votes to get out from under them, but what we now call the millenials would never tolerate being asked to pay when it was our turn).

What struck me is that they are changing the rules for banks/etc. that aren't even that big. Usually that's saved for only the big boys, though the big boys will be helped here too.

Their 4 generational "archetypes" are, Hero, Artist, Prophet, and Nomad. And each step of the cycle they dubbed the High, the Awakening, the Unraveling, and the Crisis.
We GenXers supposedly correspond to the Losts of the last cycle.
We are now in a Crisis, I'll give them that, but these damned Millennials ain't no Greatest Generation of Heroes.

I always saw GenXers as the more independent, libertarian tribe since they didn't benefit from the long-term employment opportunities their parents enjoyed and being uprooted and going from job to job was the norm. They were there during the transition away from the industrial age to the information age and lived through the analog-to-digital divide. I'm sort of on the cusp and I think straddling the analog and digital eras is kind of the defining thing for me.
Well, that and goth shit. And booze. And sci-fi.

They are on to something. They wrote the book in '99 or somewhere around there, and it was downright prophetic about what the next Crisis would look like.
Their theory is that American history is a cycle driven by generational conflict, with it coming back full circle after 4 generations. There is a see-saw of molly coddling children, followed by underprotection.
The Nomads, which we GenXers are, are the least coddled, while the Artists, who are born during a Crisis are the most molly coddled. The Silent generation was the last molly coddled.
The Millennials are pretty damned molly coddled. The Hero generation is more coddled. It's a reaction to the overpermissiveness of the previous generations.
Anyway just read it, and see what you think.

Generation Y was an early term for what has now pretty much solidified as Millennials.
Of course, these dates are fluid and are not cast in stone. Often they can only be clearly identified in hindsight.
"The Fourth Turning" is a fascinating book. It was published in the late 90s, and the authors predicted a "Crisis" phase starting sometime in the mid-2000s. It's still hotly disputed exactly when it started (9/11 seems too early and the 2008 financial crisis seems too late), but nobody can deny that we are up to our eyeballs in it now. They nailed that prediction.

In the Crisis, the Prophets are the old timers, the Nomads are the middle managers, and the Heroes are the young adults, with the Artists just being born.
Nomads are cynical, but can be bad-ass motherfuckers. These are the ones leading the Heroes, saying fuck this shit, we're going to kick ass. They lead the Heroes storming the beaches.

It certainly limits it.
I would characterize anyone who fought in Iraq or Afghanistan as being similarly valorous to those who volunteered to fight over Britain and China in the late 30s individually.
But you can't say they saved the world from islam the same way the greatest generation saved it from the axis powers, simply because it isn't done yet (and not at this point clear that it will turn out well).

Whiskey Before Breakfast
Early one day the sun wouldn't shine
I was walking down the street not feeling too fine
I saw two old men with a bottle between 'em
And this was the song that I heard them singing
Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast
Well I stopped by the steps where they was sitting
And I couldn't believe how drunk they were getting
I said "old men, have you been drinking long?"
They said "just long enough to be singing this song"
Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast
Well they passed me the bottle and I took a little sip
And it felt so good I just couldn't quit
I drank some more and next thing I knew
There were three of us sitting there sining this tune
Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast
One by one everybody in the town
They heard our ruckus and they all came down
And pretty soon all the streets were ringing
With the sound of the whole town laughing and singing
Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast
Lord preserve us and protect us,
We've been drinking whiskey 'fore breakfast

The last three Crises were the Revolution, Civil War, and Depression/WWII. We are due for another one, and I think this is it.
Believe it or not, a Trump would make a pefect, central-casting Prophet leader of the Crisis. He could be a candidate for Mt. Rushmore, or a total disaster that ends the American Experiment.
Think of FDR if things went south.
Trump is a "fuck this shit" moment. Strauss Howe (and one them died, I can't remember which) stress that with a generation "turning" attitudes can change on a fucking dime. Things you think would be unthinkable became thinkable and the norm. The old is thrown out and the new rung in.
Imagine Trump being the "fuck this shit" leader. GenXers become the Pattons and Eisenhowers, and the Millennials are the troops.

I'm weird, I'd love to know what happened to those Super Bowl I tapes from 1967. They were most likely 'wiped' (reused to tape other programming), but it just seems weird to me that they didn't last.

As a matter of impact on infrastructure yes.

I saw a promo for NFL Network's special presenting a recap of Super Bowl I in 1967. Have the networks finally found the actual videotapes (which I know have been presumed lost for a long time), or have they finally managed to reassemble a play-by-play of the game from other sources?
Posted by: qdpsteve at January 17, 2016 12:16 AM (ntObR)
It was a reassembly. Pieced together from, I think they said, 12 different sources, then overlaid with the NBC radio broadcast.
The network show the other night would have been infinitely better if they had just showed the game, but we had to watch the game being watched by Chris Rose and crew. They carted out some old-timers from the game, and if anything they gave them less airtime than they should have.
Hopefully they will release this sometime in the near future, and we can watch it as NFL Films put it together, without the annoying NFL Network goofs doing their thing.

I'm kind of in between. When I was in high school in the 70s, only the girls took typing, on the theory that they would go on to become secretaries. Then personal computers came along just a few years later.
When I got my first job that required the use of a computer in 1990, I had to buy a book to teach myself typing. I'm beyond hunting and pecking with two fingers, but most people younger than me can type much faster than I can.

Depends on a number of things, including the power of the pulse and things like how long your leads or anything that would resonate or pick up the EMP.
About 10 years ago the city power system workers slipped with their hot-stick changing out a transformer and burned out every transformer, power-converter, surge-protector and operating computer in all the houses served by it, and that included stuff that was plugged in but turned off.
On the other hand the 20 year old Tandy LED alarm clock I had didn't even flinch and all my light bulbs and the ancient stove and the water heater survived.

Posted by: jake at January 17, 2016 12:33 AM (HLUeE)
An EMP will have some effect on every exposed wire. Not as much as the fearmongers would have you suppose, but some. One of the problems is that high voltage electrical towers have long, long reaches of exposed wire -- so they are prone to gathering lots of effects and delivering them to your local power station, which may well get 'splodey. I wouldn't anticipate shorter wires at further distances to be a very great risk.

It wasn't the spectacle back then it is today. You played the game, you won or lost, your team won or lost, it's over. Next.
Plus it was teams from 2 totally separate leagues going at it, mainly in my opinion to affirm the dominance of the NFL over the AFL. Smokin' Joe Namath put that theory to rest.

Both NBC and CBS were broadcasting the game. It WAS a big deal. I just don't think the mentality at the time was "hey, let's preserve this footage for future generations."
They expected to sell out the Coliseum, and didn't come close to it, because the fans weren't all that into it (this being LA... heh). The leagues though, they were hoping it was going to become a big deal, and I think it's reasonable to say over the next few games it got bigger and bigger.
Lamar Hunt, the Chiefs owner, predicted it would become a cultural phenomenon, and really was the father of this game. He was right, of course.

I understand before Butkus knees got destroyed, he was a monster. His tackles were punishing and guys ran away from them.
In college I was told of a game where he knocked the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string QB of an opposing team out of the game on successive plays.

The effect would look like (depending on the orientation of the system) a large, anomalous DC voltage being injected into the transmission lines. Transformers offer little impedance to that DC voltage, allowing large currents to flow and fry them.
If you knew it was coming, you could just deenergize and ground out the transmission lines. That would be a YUGE undertaking. Imagine taking all the GWs upon GWs of generation offline at once on a moment's notice.
This happened back in the 1850s or so. Telegraph lines were the only big thing, and they started doing some crazy things,equipment catching fire and all that. At the time, they had little understanding of what was happening. But we didn't have an electric power grid back then.

The EMP effect of a nuclear blast is basically a secondary effect caused
by the ionosphere sort of "ringing". There is an initial gamma ray
burst. These guys collide with atoms and knock off electrons with some
kick. These electrons then create currents in the ionosphere which
interact with the earth's magnetic field.
The result is a mostly
RF spike of radiation. This is the EMP. If you know the physics, you
can optimize that effect and maximize that pulse. It lasts about 200 ns,
and can have a peak density of about 6MW/m^2.
How much damage

The thing is that alarmists keep saying you'll tickle Mother Gaia into smiting the unholy technology.....when converting the entire output of the nuke into EM and then downconverting that entire amount into bad spectra doesn't overcome (a) directional radiation that goes into the ground or the sky; (b) the radiation losses in light and heat; and, most especially, (c) 150 megatons of nuclear detonation can't add up to more than 150 megatons of destruction.

When you get a DC bias riding on it, it can drive the thing well into the saturation point, the inductance goes to nothing, and the transformer is now a low impedance to the AC itself. If it's one sided, going well into saturation on one side of the cycle, but not the other, things get crazy non-linear.
Imagine massive GW generators (drive a Mack truck through the stators) going wild with crazy non-linear currents and torque loads.
Models show anything from a complete disaster, with nearly all the US being without power for months while repairs are made, to well, just some crazy shit your pants moments for the operators watching the system do crazy shit, but not much big damage done.

Second, the federal government increased the amount of publicly-traded debt by $8.5 trillion (an increase of 170 percent), and ran $1.5 trillion deficits to try to boost consumption through transfer payments.

I saw a promo for NFL Network's special presenting a recap of Super Bowl I in 1967. Have the networks finally found the actual videotapes (which I know have been presumed lost for a long time), or have they finally managed to reassemble a play-by-play of the game from other sources?
Posted by: qdpsteve at January 17, 2016 12:16 AM (ntObR)
Watched the first quarter of it this morning, and the NFL Network guys said that all the footage came from the NFL Films vault, and that it has taken many years for them to put the film of the game together.
You could really tell the difference in the quality between the videotape showing the players running out to be announced and the actual film that NFL Films shoots on. (IIRC, NFL Films still uses film instead of video/digital today)

When did the Super Bowl first start being a big deal, in about 1972 or so?
Posted by: qdpsteve at January 17, 2016 12:56 AM (ntObR)
Both NBC and CBS were broadcasting the game. It WAS a big deal. I just don't think the mentality at the time was "hey, let's preserve this footage for future generations."
They expected to sell out the Coliseum, and didn't come close to it, because the fans weren't all that into it (this being LA... heh). The leagues though, they were hoping it was going to become a big deal, and I think it's reasonable to say over the next few games it got bigger and bigger.
Lamar Hunt, the Chiefs owner, predicted it would become a cultural phenomenon, and really was the father of this game. He was right, of course.
Posted by: BurtTC at January 17, 2016 01:02 AM (Dj0WE)
Only reason both showed the game was because CBS had the NFL rights and NBC had the AFL rights and the two leagues were still seperate entities at the time. After the Super Bowl is when they merged and that spring had their "common draft".

Saturday Night Live kicked off with a skit mocking Wednesday night's Republican debate, including Ted Cruz's 'New York values' comment and Donald Trump's taunts toward other candidates.
The camera pans to Trump, performed by Darrell Hammond, who takes a call from his cellphone. 'You're saying Jeb Bush is a little girl and can't be president because his hand's bigger than his face?' he says into the phone, before Bush is seen putting his hand up to his face. Trump then pushes Bush's hand so it hits his face.

If you want real news on the economy (or anything else) the worst place you can go is network news from the alphabets.
No, the housing bubble did not "cause" the 2009 depression, which contrary to the alphabets, we have never recovered from. The root cause of the collapse was federal regulations brought in by a Democrat congress, namely CRA. These regulations forced bankers to make loans to people who had no ability to pay them back.
But the impact was not immediately apparent because of the housing bubble. It hid the bad shit caused by CRA because it allowed the banks to repo the houses and resell them to someone else. In addition, our old friend Jamie Gorelick was involved in hiding these bad loans at FnF by mixing them with good loans.
When the overheated housing market finally cooled they were no longer able to turn these houses around. Loans far in excess of what the houses were worth had been made and defaulted on. The banks who had foolishly got into this market at the orders of the government started dropping like flies.
But you will never hear this in the news or from the government. The government investigation stacked the committee in congress with the very people who caused the problem. It was a whitewash from day one. And since this problem was largely caused by Democrats with Piss Dodd and Bwarney Fwank leading the way, you will never hear it from the alphabets.

One of the startling disconnects from reality in Keynesian economics is "Y = C + I + G + (X - M)" -- and where it goes furthest astray is where it asserts that G (government expenditures) always contributes to Y ("GDP" -- a proxy for economic well-being). The fact is that a significant portion of government spending DETRACTS from the economic well-being of the populace -- and part of this is the cronyist maintenance of unnatural monopolies.
There is no systemic reason for "cars for hire" to be a monopoly in the modern world. Lyft and Uber have figured that out -- and they are on the verge of embracing the corollary: every dollar spent on government regulation of taxicabs that restricts competition is a NEGATIVE to economic prosperity.
It should be "Y = C + I - G + (X - M)".

I agree, but it's also worth noting that the housing bubble was at least partly fueled by the CRA, which created a massive spike in demand for housing (by forcing banks to write bad loans) against a relatively inflexible supply (construction has significant lead times).

It is also worthwhile to note that the "housing bubble" was not uniform across the US. It occurred mostly in CA, FL, and NY. Therefore the collapse was felt largely in those three locations and bank failures occurred largely in those locations.
For example here in SC we had some rise in new home prices but it was far from "bubble" territory. So when the "collapse" came it was more like a dip than a collapse here. I gathered from that unlike the three worst States the banks did not flood their portfolios with CRA crap.

I believe you are wrong, and urge you (as a fellow Moron) to get in front of this. Your rates being always the same is SUPPRESSING PRICE SIGNALS -- socialist, not free market; required insurance = CONTROLLED PRICE SIGNALS -- socialist, not free market; license designation is GOVERNMENT FIAT, not free market. Your entire critique is based on coercion and suppression of price signals.
I hope you change your ways to provide value to your customers and prosper thereby. But I also hope you compete on price in a market not regulated in favor of the connected.

I don't know what your rates are down there, but here, the taxi rates are astronomical, and there are virtually no American (of any race/creed/color) drivers. They also have a tendency to threaten and berate anyone who tried to pay with a credit card, take the scenic routes to drive up the fare, etc etc. I have insurance, and the only license that's relevant...my driver's license and a clean driving record. The local taxi companies have been forced to clean up their act and actually compete...which is a good thing, right?
