(via Trump Tariffs Hit Antarctic Islands Inhabited by Zero Humans and Many Penguins | WIRED)

The Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance. The Heard and McDonald Islands, known for their populations of penguins and seabirds, can only be reached by sea.

A really frustrating thing that happens a lot is I'll see a book with the word "Vietnam" in the title and get excited, but then I look at the back and it's got nothing to do with the actual country of Vietnam and is just about American soldiers. The name "Vietnam" is already taken, find another shorthand to describe your war!

Good morning and thank you for the picture of the bee! I didn't know anything about carpenter bees, but they are quite interesting.

Structuring the posts is probably a good idea. So I'll start with some minor comments, then there's the main section about money creation, and lastly a brief note about money-as-power.

Minor comments

You see both check and cheque in NZ. For that sort of word, I think generally older people use the British spelling and older people the American spelling. Though it's sort of a moot point, since they've pretty much entirely disappeared in the last few years.

A note about small transactions: I can definitely see that it'd be difficult to get the police to go after someone for stealing a small amount. My disagreement is that I don't think this makes sense as a cause of inflation. I doubt any firm (or whoever sets the prices) has thought, "Oh, there's a lot of money around nowadays. The government won't be able to enforce the value of all of it. I'd better raise prices." Possibly it works as an abstract interpretation of what inflation represents, like a sort of metaphor. But then we get into very philosophical questions about how theories relate to the world.

Money creation

I'm not really sure if you don't understand how commercial banks create (non-physical) money or if you do understand the process but just view it differently, so I'll try to cover both possibilities.

Say Alice, Bob, and Carol all have an (at the moment) empty bank account with the same bank. The government prints $100 and gives it to Alice (I suppose she works for the government). She deposits the $100 in the bank, so the bank records $100 in Alice's account. The bank might then loan Bob $50, which it does by just recording in its ledgers that Bob has $50 in his account and owes the bank $50 at a later point in time. Alice and Bob then buy goods from Carol, which costs them all their money. The bank records that Carol has $150 and Alice and Bob have $0 each.

The crucial step for commercial bank money creation is the loan to Bob. When a bank lends, it just declares that the borrower has however much money in their account. They need to have enough currency in their possession to allow for withdrawals, but beyond that the sum of demand deposits is not limited by currency. That's how money is created.

I think you probably view the extra $50 as fake? I argue that a definition of money where that's the case is suboptimal* because (1) people can actually spend it to buy goods and services (favours if you want to be an engineer about it), (2) they can do this simultaneously (without the extra $50 being backed by an extra $50 of currency), and (3) it comprises the majority of money in our economies and is the way in which most transactions take place** (and the definition of money ought to recognise how transactions actually occur).

*I think definitions can't really be false, but they can be worse in various ways.

**It might differ in the US, but I don't even remember the last time that I used cash.

There is a sense in which the money is in a superposition of states that might collapse (or something; I don't know physics), but that is specifically if Alice and Bob want to convert their money into currency. As long as they're happy to keep it in a demand deposit, it's all fine. (And I wouldn't characterise money in a bank account as being unobserved, since it can still be spent, as above.)

Summarising, my contention is that:

Banks create more demand deposits than the amount of currency that exists.

Even when multiple people's money 'comes from' the same currency, they can still spend all of that money.

Because this money can be spent, it is 'real' money.

So not all 'real' money is created by the government.

Last bit

I think also I might've been conflating your theories about power/money and those about where money comes from. I don't have much of a specific disagreement with the former, but I have a technical disagreement (or maybe it's just semantics) with the latter. There is some connection between the two, but I don't think they're the same. You can still understand money as power without asserting it is all created by the government.

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.

Paper Bags & the Circular Economy: A Sustainable Choice! ♻️

We're all trying to make more eco-conscious choices, and one simple switch can make a big difference: choosing paper bags! But it's not just about swapping plastic for paper; it's about embracing the circular economy.

What's the Circular Economy?

Imagine a system where resources are used, reused, and recycled, minimizing waste and maximizing value. That's the circular economy! It's about moving away from the traditional "take-make-dispose" model and creating a closed-loop system.

Why Paper Bags Fit the Circular Model:

Renewable Resource: Paper comes from sustainably managed forests, which are constantly replenished.

Biodegradable & Compostable: Unlike plastic, paper breaks down naturally, returning nutrients to the soil.

Recyclable: Paper can be recycled multiple times, reducing the need for virgin materials.

Reduced Waste: When properly recycled, paper bags contribute to a closed-loop system, minimizing landfill waste.

Creating Value: Paper recycling creates jobs and supports a sustainable economy.

How You Can Contribute:

Choose Paper: Opt for paper bags at stores and markets.

Reuse: Re-use your paper bags for shopping, storage, or crafts.

Recycle: Ensure your used paper bags are properly recycled.

Support Sustainable Practices: Look for paper products from companies with responsible forestry practices.

The Impact:

By choosing paper and participating in the circular economy, we can:

Reduce plastic pollution.

Conserve natural resources.

Minimize our carbon footprint.

Create a more sustainable future.

Let's make a conscious effort to embrace paper bags and the principles of the circular economy. Every small step counts!
