In economics, the model where there's a tradeoff between civilian spending and military spending is called the guns vs butter model. Why did they call it that and not grain silos vs missile silos.

Who am I?My name is J (just one letter). I am a South African software engineer living in the Netherlands. When I lived in South Africa I used to enjoy hiking in the mountains, but now you can find me on my bicycle with an FFP2 mask on.

What am I doing here?Primarily replicating the experience I had on Twitter, where I send random thoughts out and interesting things I find. Follow me for occasional nuggets of wisdom amid the puns, non-sequitirs, and garden path phrases.

Anything else you want to say?Trans rights are human rights. Conformity is a trap. The world would be better if people minded their own damn business. The future of humanity is in Africa.

While watching exercise videos on youtube I misheard 'horse stance' as 'horse dance' and I like that way more.

@penny @futurebird Fun fact: Piracy in Somalia is funded in exactly the same way. People put up money for an expedition, the pirates go out to hold a ship ransom, and the investors get a cut of the proceeds in proportion to what they put in
