YSK this because the high amount of public debt, which has been getting a lot of attention in the US, is actually by design.

In our double-entry bookkeeping system, money is created via bank lending and government spending, adding to the economy, and is destroyed via loan repayments and taxes, subtracting from the economy.

Central banks create a wealth pump mechanism into assets through money printing, which erodes consumer purchasing power, driven by deficit spending, which creates money for the private sector.

Profits are privatized; losses are socialized.

In recent weeks I have moved on to other things and don't see myself using Lemmy as much in the future, at least not in the same capacity.

I'd like for this community to continue so I can leave things as is, but given my lack of involvement going forward, I think it would be better to appoint a new mod(s) and probably transfer ownership to one of them as well.

Thank you for allowing me to contribute. I got really into it! I'd be happy to share the resources and information I was accessing and using for posts.

All the best.

many blessings

 

Looks like the former mod of Linguistics made me mod even though I said no. I value this nature and science server so I'm looking for someone serious to take over.

Fun fact I didn't see coming:

An 11th-century tapestry arrived at London's British Museum yesterday after a covert, high-security operation, marking the first time it has left France in nearly 1,000 years. 

The Bayeux Tapestry traveled roughly 350 miles overnight by truck and train in a climate-controlled, vibration-dampening crate. Stitched in wool thread on linen, the 230-foot-long embroidery depicts the lead up to William, Duke of Normandy's, 1066 invasion of England—an event that solidified lasting ties between Britain and France (explore here, scene by scene).

Historians believe the piece was made in England and then sent to William's half brother in France, where it has since remained. British officials have asked to borrow it since the 1950s, but France repeatedly refused, citing its fragility. (A recent report found it has 24,204 stains, 9,646 holes, and 30 tears.) French President Emmanuel Macron ultimately approved the loan in 2018 as a gesture of trust and friendship. Learn how Britain and France went from foes to friends here (w/video).

The Bayeux Tapestry will be on display in London from Sept. 10, 2026, through July 11, 2027. The British Museum has already generated about $3.3M in ticket sales.
