Any QE has to go directly to the people this time.

QE consists of central banks buying securities and creating corresponding liabilities on their balance sheets. It doesn’t apply to individuals.

What you have in mind must be something else which isn’t QE.

I think you are missing context and what he meant, the OP was responding to someone saying there elderly relative didn't understand the seriousness of the situation but it had finally sunk in.

Clearly he hopes that his father will now get the message.

As you said QE causes inflation in assets prices, because the printed money is injected in the financial economy. I.e. inflation is where the money is injected.

With helicopter money, the goal is to inject money in the real economy rather than the financial economy, and thus it will cause consumer prices inflation rather than asset price inflation. That inflation will be particularly visible in constrained spendings such as essential consumer goods and rents (rents is a big one as there will be more money competing for the same constrained supply of rental properties, and more money chasing a finite and essential ressource logically leads to inflation).

It will stop consumer price deflation. If we get to 20% unemployment then rents, and everything else will drop in price, people cant pay rents when laid off. They will eventually (post lockdown) leave the country, or go back to their parents house. Rents fell post 2008.

The government will pay HAP anyway, which is money borrowed from the future, although that too can be monetised by the ECB.

Even the US is doing that.

So much mere personal abuse from you and others here.

But if you want to try again and contradict my point, I'll be staying tuned.

It's about social responsibility, and if they didn't put a limit on it people would be driving to beaches, parks and other attractions, do you understand it now?

There is a better quality of posting on Askboutmoney.com. Perhaps the moderators screen out some of the backbiting which is evident here.

That's not what he said. He meant his dad gets it as in he hopes he understands it.

Obviously he doesn't mean he hopes his father gets the virus.

The sooner the better. This totalitarian state is not acceptable and will achieve precisely zero.

It's required because a peculiarly large proportion of the population in this country have to be baby fed and dragged up through life by the state - not content with that they have to make a sh!t of everything for everyone else by refusing to follow basic rules.

That is why it is required. That is why it is needed.

And the vast majority will have no problem with it.

Im sure he realises that, since he supported helicopter money. This is what he called the people's QE but it isnt literally QE.

Just you and yours, yes? Everyone else staying at home?
That would be fine. Of course!

Go and have a chat with yourself, will you?

Well the majority of the replies seem to think that going for a drive would be completely out of question due to a breakdown / crash.

While I personally see it as a lower risk than walking in my local park or going to the busy supermarket, I wanted to gauge the opinions on here.

I wonder if this is accurate. I think a better description may be
"The healthy with no known underlying conditions"

A lot of people have conditions that simply do not present in a way that causes concern. That may be heart, or perhaps lung conditions. It's not likely that many postmortems are being carried out in places where this virus has taken hold

I like a run and have been running up until today on open wide spaces with not too many people.

But I'll take one for the team and try YouTube workouts for 2 weeks anyway. Literally need to stay at home as much as possible given the severity.

I suppose being out just encourages others to be out. Can't do a whole lot of running in 2 km anyway.

Fair play to you. I could probably do 2km if it was spread over a few weeks

Basic English and what the possibile subject "it" could refer too.....

What about security? Seems like that should be essential on a lockdown, if only for emergancies.

With freedom comes the duty of and weight of responsibility, something that was ignored this night last week.

These are temporary restrictions in face of an extraordinary peril to the lives of so many of our fellow citizens. I fully support them having seen the childish behavior of some in this country in the last week.

Are they temporary? We were told the res resisting first implemented would end on March 29th

ShyMets · 27-03-2020 11:02PM

So if someone jumps on a bus will the bus driver ask them are they working in essential services.

What reason do you have to suspect they are permanent?
