This line of logic is limitless in its blockheadedness, we should not worry about immigrant rapists because we already have rapists, we should not worry about two demographic bombs because we have one, why should we worry if the gov collects our information when private comps already do e.t.c.
Except even worse because it substitutes the original quandary with an imagined one, so it becom

Well, no that's not what you're doing. You're the one saying we should only care about halal butchers and dismiss any problems with other butchers. What I'm saying is you tackle the biggest problem first, then work down. You don't single out e.g. rapes by immigrants only and ignore rapes by locals, especially if local rapes are more prevalent.

Ok so you haven't even done the courtesy of reading my posts before responding :\
I did mathematics for you Reelya, that's how much I cared for your opinion
That's a slap to the bass

This is the biggest problem and the easiest solved m8 where is the mass deb8 from, you're telling me to ignore an easily solved problem and instead chase after a nebulous Vegan spectre

Reminds me of when the Pakistani rape gangs came about and people kept bringing up Savile even though the number of Pakistanis vastly outnumbered Savile in victims, perpetrators, complicit authorities and lacking in lawyers or even being from Britain

IN MORE REVOLUTIONARY NEWS, The Swiss referendum on whether to ban private banks' ability to make money out of thin air and debt is coming SOON

SWISS FUCK YEAH
SWISLAND SWISLERNLAD
So that should sum up how I feel about this, it's a fantastic economic experiment that could revolutionize three centuries of banking evolution into radical new ebin directions of SWWASRLENAND

[wierd]

Nazi blood money profiteering?

So, basically they are trying to make the central bank into their version of the US Treasury department?

Also, wut on the mention of something as a precursor to returning to the gold standard..... I don't know how much gold switzerland has, but isn't it supposed to have a lot?

Nazi blood money profiteering?

And also a horrible accent (at least in the German-speaking areas), as well as generally horribly unfriendly and close-minded people (IME, and at least in the German-speaking areas).
I have to admit though that this is not specific to Swiss German-speakers.

TL;DR: Deutsche Muttersprachler, go fuck yourselves!

Just inserting random, lol.

Yeah, but if he had been a Züricher, I'd gladly have welcomed our new Muscovite overlords

idk, central banks can use adjusting the fractional reserve amount as one of the levers on the economy. A few percentage points more or less makes a big difference. Just effectively jumping to 100% fractional reserve overnight would basically cause massive deflation and crash the economy. They should gradually raise it and see it it's stable. I doubt anything "magic" happens at 100% fractional reserve as compared to e.g. 95% fractional reserve.

The fractional reserve amount in the USA/Europe are too low however: if something is already zero in most cases, then you can't use that as a lever. They should raise it whenever the economy overheats, as a buffer. Then, the government could have actually lowered it again to boost spending after the crash, without actually spending a dime of taxpayers money.

[Loud Whispers]

I'm amazed that you haven't decided to move to Switzerland. It's not in the EU, it's rather closed-border, it has a nice economy, direct democracy... what's not to love?

Abandoning my country?

[Helgoland]

Yeah, but... England, y'know? I can see how Switzerland would be an improvement, if just barely.

But at 100% fractional reserve, wouldn't 100% of the money deposited in banks be saved for further use instead of for loans/investments/paying people who want to withdraw money?

[Loud Whispers]

No, in Switzerland you can see the sun in daytime, that makes it an unnatural anomaly of horrible neutrality. Just look at them, the madswossmun are trying to end the eternal samsara of borrowing and bust!

[Helgoland]

Eh, if they become too mad, we'll send in the cavalry. Just ask Steinbrück.
