I reckon the private sector is more sensitive to FED policies than the public one so I find it more likely that supply destruction will be stronger than demand destruction. At least here in the communist leaning westernmost part of east europe. We think ourselves too fancy to embrace balkanization and headleslly follow western policies like children trying to win favours with older peers. But that is only what is perceived through social media and politics. In the real world we will win!

Feeling pessimisticly optimistic after listening. Or is that optimistically pessimistic?

Appreciating most of Lyn's views, I'm wondering about her statements regarding nuclear: Nuclear power is like FIAT. With a very high time preference. You get energy now and make astronomical high dept on the future. Waste equals dept. Mankind will not be able to get rid of it in the next 100.000 years. Understanding Bitcoin means realizing, that nuclear power is not a option at all.
