Money As Debt

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Just went through a long.. but very interesting video one of my friends sent me!  Really learned quite a bit about it…

But I kind of think it is a little exagerrated by some environmentalist + monarchy/communist people.  Though it is true that the money supply will keep increasing because of the interest payments… which has been the case for the past many years…. but this does not necessary translate to consumerism and more trees being cut etc….

The economy can very well produce the same amount of goods.  The increase in money supply will just produce inflationary pressures as more money is chasing the same amount of goods.  System can still be stable… its just that money will lose its value over time … and like what the video said… it will have the same effect as imposing a tax on those with money….

And surely, that cannot be a bad thing right?  Rich people with loads of dollars being taxed more… to create a more equal economy?  Hmmm…

Our Polytechnic’s Internship

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Hmmm… I just got wind of this… and could not stop laughing…

Today my girl was telling me about her internship period. Basically, she was attached to an individual for 4 months and she was tasked to write out an entire e-commerce portal. So for 4 months, she will go to the person’s house and google intensively to do up the solution….

I felt sorry for her… that was until I heard about…
