For a time but then my value would skyrocket when my highly skilled rare services would come into greater demand.

I know I am supposed to ask but I won't.

Deficit spending would become difficult. We couldn't stimulate the economy, so recession could become permanent. (Keynes proved that an economy can stabilize at any point. There is no reason to believe that we'll get back to full production just by waiting.)

They already have. But hey, when were they ever in fashion in the first place?

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Pray tell...

You see, if I told you then I'd need to then call the thing I tell you a secret. To make sure that you hold that secret close and never tell anyone that secret we would need to get to know each other much more than the internet permits, thus rendering the reason we are using this message board and I don't want to end the internet. So, as you can see, I cannot tell you that information.

I have neither. So, no deal. Plus, I don't want anything to do with uranium. I've heard though that you can harvest uranium by hand at the old mines somewhere in the southwestern USA. Some scientists do exactly that.
