eureka eureka:

I think, lemmy, that you are not in a majority among economists in that.

I suppose you could know more economists than me.

eureka eureka:

The US dollar did not decline dramatically in lockstep with the rise of the Canadian dollar. It declined over roughly double the time.

Huh?

Cdn$ = 1/US$

The rates change relative to one another in an inverse relationship. How can one side of the equation outpace the other?

eureka eureka:

Terms of trade should have seen the Canadian dollar decline along with the US dollar in order to keep that the market for most of our manufactured goods.

I have no idea what that means. That's jibber-jabber.

[eureka]

You do know what it means. And the decline of the US dollar is not just against the Canadian dollar.

You also know of the deliberate devaluation of the US dollar in the mid 80s.

Knowing more economists is not the point. I read what they say.

I could wrestle six or eight randomly picked engineering terms into a half-way coherent sentence. It may or may not actually mean anything at all, but it’d give the appearance of knowing something more about engineers than that they like to smoke cigarettes and build bridges and shit.

Does your ability to skim websites trump several years of formal university education?

Nope, I'm not a trained economist. However, the lack of any formal training doesn't seem to give some pause when the impulse to spout off with a wiki rant rolls over them.

[eureka]

Did you learn that from the CPC manual. There is no "Wiki rant" from me.
