An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
As we observe the back out day, just want to thank tom and mike for maintaining this site. Always like the links and commentary you all provide here. Good community of editors and readers!
Saw google blacked out their logo on their search results pages at least towards the end of the day yesterday.... but did not shut down their search....
If Google had shut down, there would have been shareholder lawsuits even if the board had agreed to the action. It was easier for them to put the "black band" and educate the people about SOPA/PIPA
Wikipedia could shut down because it is a not for profit, and no shareholder lawsuits to contend with.
