Unless I'm misreading things, and adding in my own thoughts, I suspect it is not Davy that is missed but the conversations he generated among the other members. I'm thrilled he is gone as I hate his type of approach to discussion. I find it very rude and disingenuous. On the other hand, like with the many trolls who occasionally roam our halls, I learned a lot as people made honest attempts to educate him. It wasn't Davy who provided any insights, it was everyone else. I've never enjoyed burst water pipes, losing a job, or a serious illness in the family, but I am always better educated once it is over.

We should talk not only about the American, but in general about the world economy. Global debt could reach $300 trillion by the end of the year. https://psm7.com/money/mirovoj-dolg-mozhet-dostignut-otmetki-v-300-trln-uzhe-v-etom-godu.html

Given that rates are historically low and practically zero, they have literally nothing BUT opportunity to raise them, significantly or otherwise. How so? One of the 'controls' used to keep inflation at manageable levels is variance of lending rates. Once the citizenry has taken on too much personal debt, the ability to raise lending rates has to be used very carefully ( or not at all ) as it would lead to massive defaulting on debt, bank failures and recession. As in 2008. We realized, then, that unrealistic debt levels were a problem, and stricter controls over borrowing were solutions, yet in my area, home ownership has become impossible or young pople, due to house prices doubling in the past two years ( over 1/2 Million is entry level ). Scarcity of rental property ownership has resulted in skyrocketing rents, and increased homelessness Have we already forgotten ?

70 posts, some of them have involved a lot of work and I still don't understand the basis of what you are saying about dimensions. Most of what you have posted assumes the reader understands and agrees with your basic statement about dimensions. I don't understand or agree. You mention unit analysis and also Tesla. There is a form of analysis in electrical power engineering called 'per unit' analysis. I don't know if you are trying to emulate this. The problem with 'unit analysis' is that the dimensions are hidden in the 'units' employed. They haven't really gone away. So can I respectfully suggest you put some of this effort into developing (proving) your underlying claim once and for all? Perhaps showing one simple example developed from start to fininsh, but involving as many as possible of the seven basic quantities in the LMTAθIN system. For your information here are two free websites where you build mathematical formulae and copy/paste into ScienceForums. http://www.sciweavers.org/free-online-latex-equation-editor https://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php

Possible? Yes. Probable? No. Please try going with just a little bit less ridiculousness and a little more reality in future posts. It will be appreciated.

Did you just really suggest people are using deep fake video tech to falsely make it look like things in Afghanistan are kinda horrible for lots of people right now? GTFOH with that special brand of crazy sauce
