@SteveThompson oh my god. this is horrible.
@SteveThompson On second thought, this is from a reporter that writes for CBS news... okay, and that oral version of the drug discussed therein was prevented entering the united states due to a whistle blower.
@SteveThompson what? fentanyl lollipops..? This might not be credible.
@nonlinear well, I found ebook2epub but I can't get it to work. I converted a PDF to djvu to see if that would work with the former... Nope. I used pdf2djvu from guix. Sorry I'm new at this.
@nonlinear will check Debian repo after I make tea. In kitchen now
@lynnesbian I use the GNU system.
@SteveThompson I am interested in how an abortion ban might affect the money supply growth rate because that could determine future inflation rates.
@not2b @talia_christine @ecstaticcling Trump elected Jerome Powell head of the Federal Reserve, and Biden doesn't seem to mind. If there is any reason to fret over money it may be because of inflation. The Fed uses asset pricing to manage the problem, but the Taylor interest rate rule has delivered better economic results. The Taylor rule may have helped the economy if it were used in 2022. Inflation increased 8.5 percentage points in March of that year. Perhaps a 1 1/2 deduction in the inflation rate may have helped the macroeconomic environment, but that is not what happened. Trump may change Powell out for a new person. But he put him in there.

In addition to his legacy as a co-writer of Principia Mathematica, Whitehead's theory of "extensive abstraction" is considered foundational for the branch of ontology and computer science known as "mereotopology," a theory describing spatial relations among wholes, parts, parts of parts, and the boundaries between parts.

"The chief error in philosophy is overstatement."
Process and Reality: An Essay in Cosmology (1929)
