Wage inflation generally has an inverse relation to unemployment. When wages are inflated, there is a temporary rise in unemployment and then the rate of unemployment tends to shrink. Conversely, deflating wages will temporarily lower the unemployment rate before it begins to rise ( Read more... )

There are other economic models and you know it.

electronichound January 7 2010, 23:35:42 UTC

Guilty as charged.

fred_cassidy January 8 2010, 05:52:10 UTC

What, that's it? Did you hit your head?

...How hard would you have to hit your head to affect your behavior, anyway?

electronichound January 8 2010, 07:01:34 UTC

It would have to damage my neural circuitry or damage my biological neural tissues. It would have to be strong enough to cause stress to treated titanium.

I wasn't planning to drop a Buick on you, but I'll bear it mind if it becomes necessary in the future.

There are much easier ways of dealing with cyborgs.

[Not that Batou will admit them, of course.]

fred_cassidy January 8 2010, 07:05:29 UTC

But they don't involve dropping a Buick. I've always wanted to try one of those magnetic cranes.

electronichound January 8 2010, 07:06:21 UTC

Why didn't you say so? Let's drop something heavy.

[He's drunk, Fred. Really sauced.]

fred_cassidy January 8 2010, 07:09:04 UTC

It's very generous of you to volunteer your head like that.

[Can cyborgs be alcoholics? Because Fred is beginning to wonder.]

electronichound January 8 2010, 07:11:10 UTC

[No, he can't be chemically dependant on anything.]

No, let's just drop one on something else. The tachikoma. Drop it on someo--thing.

fred_cassidy January 8 2010, 07:15:26 UTC

[There's a psychological component, Big Guy.]

...Uh-huh.

I hate to be the voice of reason, but the logistics here seem...unworkable.

electronichound January 8 2010, 07:16:10 UTC

[Quiet, you. We don't need your facts around here.]

Hn. I can't lift the tachikoma. Well, I'm several thousand pounds.

fred_cassidy January 8 2010, 07:20:12 UTC

[Fred has no intention of getting between a killer man-child and his coping mechanism.]

You and your several thousand pounds can jump on anyone you want, but I refuse to be an accessory before the fact, so I shall simply assume this is all a delightful hypothetical.

electronichound January 8 2010, 07:29:02 UTC

[As the world turns.]

Works for me. What have you been up to?

fred_cassidy January 8 2010, 07:35:25 UTC

I turned myself red and green for the holidays, and I think I may have agreed to teach high school.

[Fred likes strawberry candy, okay?]

electronichound January 8 2010, 08:09:42 UTC

But teaching what. I don't think stir fry is a subject, though I'm not knocking how competent you were in that field.

[So. Drunk.]
