With the 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer and financial retail sale inflation is resigned to the dust bin of history and universally secure monetary and economic democracy is basically accomplished. Hence, the present speculative nature and criteria for bonds and their rates can instead be tied directly to more rational and ethical purposes…like addressing the energy and ecological crises converging upon us all.

So pardon me, but fuck all of the libertarian falderal about the importance of the bond market and their rates.
