And not Boeing?

Seems like the kind of thing you enjoy http://videosift.com/video/KLM-Boeing-777-Makes-an-Insane-Landing-In-75-MPH-Wind

NC's collection of interesting links yesterday brought us this paper by the Bank of England.

The summary upfront is somewhat interesting, the rest gives you cancer.

But here's something, page 3/61, second paragraph:

Furthermore, if the loan is for physical investment purposes, this new lending and money is what triggers investment and therefore, by the national accounts identity of saving and investment (for closed economies), saving. Saving is therefore a consequence, not a cause, of such lending. Saving does not finance investment, financing does. To argue otherwise confuses the respective macroeconomic roles of resources (saving) and debt-based money (financing).

Unless my brain truly did take same damage from reading the first ten pages of the paper, this paragraph is basically saying that the mainstream theory of crowding out is a load of shit. It's probably just a minority position within the BoE, but still...

The last paragraph of the summary also states that reserve positions have little to no effect on a bank's ability and willingness to lend. Any claims that a shortage of savings is responsible for a lack of credit are thrown out of the window right then and there. It's a lack of credit-worthy customers, end of story.

The BoE folks responsible for this paper still don't go all the way, but these two issues alone are devastating enough to mainstream economics and the policies that result from it.

+1 for Boeing!

Airbus A350 vs Boeing 787 has been added as a related post - related requested by oritteropo on that post.

Nice. I think that Airbus is really going need this airplane to sell; the 380 just isn't moving like they thought it would. Nice to have competition driving the market to improve (unless you are a Boeing stockholder)

Comparing this against the 787 is *related=http://videosift.com/video/Airbus-A350-vs-Boeing-787

Isn't the A350 more like Airbus's response to the 787 Dreamliner... well, they likely both started design near the same time, just Boeing managed to beat them to out. I'm not sure where either company will try next. The A350/787, A340/777 and A380/747 markets cover all but more regional flights. So it'll be interesting to see where they go next...

A somewhat interesting video comparing the two (the more interesting part starts around 30 seconds in and ends by the time it gets to 2:15 after that the side by side comparison ends)

OK Boeing, it's your turn!

Warren is a "Champion" against Corporatism, and yet she supports the Ex-Im Bank that gives $8.3 billion to Boeing and $2.6 billion to GE (Mercatus Scholars on the Export-Import Bank). Because, y'know.. logic and consistency. "The people's" support of Warren is support for all of those entities that make her employment as a politician possible. In other words, "the people's" support of Warren (regardless of her rhetoric or polemical attempts at persuading a disenfranchised Left) is, in fact, support for all of those entities which make her career as a politician possible (i.e., the very corporatist relationships she rails against, while simultaneously supporting with favorable legislation). Despite all the rhetoric, make no mistake that Warren knows exactly where her bread gets buttered.

(While this is fairly basic stuff for most if not all of politics-as-usual, it's just so deliciously blatant with someone like Warren that it's too satisfying to resist pointing out.)

A-10 is in my top 3 for sure. I was lucky enough to see one flying two years ago at Seattle Boeing Airshow.

I'm not buying it. There's a Boeing 747 in the woods, i'll give them that much.
