The fed moves monetary policy by a quarter point or a half point maximun, while SL decides to move it by 50 points.

The best way to boil a frog is do it by turning up the heat very very slowly.

If you have all the variables, and Linden Lab does, its easier to make adjustments. RL is another story, which invalidates the whole 'cook em slowly' analogy.

I agree 100%... I've been harping this point since back in the Summer.. I said Inflation is on the rise and nothing was done. But maybe with that $8/million dollars they got, they hired an economist and got the 411...

PTHTT. You people are NO FUN.

We'll still see how horrible things are. At least they did state repeatedly that the eBay thing is an "experiment"... since that's about the only part of the new policy I despise. I will never ever ever ever sing a song about eBay!
