Chet's not even 200 lbs. It would be preposterous to think he can box out an NBA center.
One of their generational traits was a willingness to take big chances in pursuit of their dreams.
That can really allow for rapid gains in quality of life, but it's not the best approach to personal finance.
The way Boomers manage their finances drives my wife and I nuts. Of course, we're specifically thinking about our parents.
Sorry, I misunderstood your point.
It would still be correct to say that printing money is inflation, but it's only one form of it.
That’s a strange sentence, because money is created in both ways. In fact, the treasury has been printing lots of physical cash lately, because the Fed is not easing up on its monetary policy.
It’s certainly true that most money is created through borrowing, but that’s a very poor way to make that point.
The original meaning of “inflation” was money creation, so you are not correct about that.
The entire Austrian Economics tradition still uses the term in its original meaning.

I'm going to dive into these in separate team-by-team posts.
I think I agree with all of the points you made.
Another one I've been thinking about is that OKC needs to overpay for whoever they think is an ideal fit next to Chet and in their locker room. Someone mentioned Lauri Markenen for that spot.
I'm also expecting Trae to be on that Lakers team next year.
I hadn't even made that connection with Butler being the only one without a ring yet. You could add PG-13, Harden, and Westbrook to this conversation then. All three have shown a willingness to play more restricted roles as they've gotten older.
Are there any particular moves you're expecting to see?
This is one of the formative instances for me of the regime treating people like they're crazy for asking reasonable questions based on readily available information.
Right. The point is that economic policies have the same type of consequences even when they're implemented in different places.

Do you think any of the older guys will be willing to take on lesser roles to compete for a title?
I think Jimmy would happily take on a role where he's primarily playing defense and providing secondary playmaking.
