Welcome

This site (like so many of my hobbies) is often neglected, out of date, and just in generally poor condition. Heck, if you were a pessimist you'd expect that!

I know you are asking yourself "Why Pessimists.net? That is so negative! What kind of evil creature are you polluting my happy ray of sunshine?" Well, let me enlighten you:

Optimist - Someone who believes "now" is the best of all possible worlds

Defeatist - Someone who believes "now" sucks and there is nothing we can do about it

Pessimist - Someone who believes "now" sucks and we can do better

The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. Recognizing our limitations and imperfections is the first requisite of progress. Those who believe they have "arrived" believe they have nowhere to go. Some not only have closed their minds to new truth, but they sit on the lid. — Dale Turner.

In an effort to bore the pants off of all of you, I thought I'd continue with my uneducated economic rambling.  Today's topic is one I've thought about quite a bit - debt based money and why it is retarded.

Happy May Day!  I'm personally trying to stay focused after a night of upgrades at the salt mine.  The never ending cycle.

In my financial readings, I've found it useful to ponder "how stuff works" every once and again. I thought I'd touch on how a bank works, at least in the general sense.
