websites to avoid if you have nerd ADD:

http://www.fact-index.com/l/li/lists_of_companies.html companies by country. I've thought of making a guide to shopping worldwide, e.g. Sainsbury's (UK) -> Star Market (Boston) -> Albert Heijn (NL) or WH Smith (UK) -> Staples (US) -> Scheltema (NL)

My dotcom idea implemented in Amsterdam!, but apparently not that successfully.

In order for money to have a stable value, the supply and the demand should be matched. The Mint prints dollars, but the Federal Reserve controls the supply of money through the interest rate at which it loans money to banks. It has no control over the demand for dollars. It will be reasonably stable and predictable in a peaceful free-market society. If the Fed did nothing or didn't exist, prices and wages would slowly drop as the economy grew. Because of productivity gains caused by capital investment, prices would drop faster than wages and everybody would be richer. However, nobody but nobody wants to see their wages go down, even if prices are going down faster. Therefore, we have the Federal Reserve.

"It will be reasonably stable and predictable in a peaceful free-market society." I assume this is supposed to be an average statement? Because inflation has certainly done some odd things over the past few decades even just in the United States. I'm sure they even out in the end, but people want stability in the relatively-short run as well as the long run.
