    Electron energy level is measured in volts, or more commonly electron-volts. It's merely a measure of energy, nothing special.

    the real crime was the creation of derivatives based on those loans, then leveraging up on hundreds of trillions worth, then being kept out of insolvency by the gov and the FED

    Your deflection does NOT address the content of my question.

    Let's take a look at what is at play. The forces in a nucleus hold it together with what can be thought of as its binding energy. In a nuclear explosion an atom is broken into parts, the binding energy, which is very strong, is converted into kinetic energy which is split between the atom fragments, loose electrons, neutrinos, and electromagnetic radiation. As each of these separate parts fly off in its own direction, one sees that over space and time the energy dissipates at an accelerated pace.

    The bottom line being, if you are close enough to the blast for it to destroy your electronics, the loss of your electronics will be the least of your problems.

    Even if a current where to develop in the magnetic field it would soon dissipate. It is not like a nuclear explosion is sustained. It is more like "BAM!" and it is gone. The mushroom clouds and all are just the dust stirred up in the aftermath, heat differentials and all that.

    Besides, a magnetic field's effect on a freely moving electron is to cause the electron's path to curve, not to alter its alignment.

    Just more baffle'em with BS.

    The paper I gave you shows the science and does the calculations. Unless you can show me what that paper is wrong and has used a wrong methodology you are just blowing in the wind.

    The current does not have to last very long, microseconds at most to generate an electric field capable of producing voltage differentials that can puncture a semi-conductor junction. Just how long do you think that puncture takes?

    I didn't say the magnetic field alters any kind of alignment. If you'll read the paper I gave you it *says* the path of the electron follows a spiral! So I already knew that!

    Give it up!

    Lol.
    That is hilarious on so many levels.
    It exemplifies your ignorance about American finances.
    You are completely unaware of how you sound to adult Americans. Like a sad comedian.
    We read posts like that and shake our heads thinking it is no wonder we are the most powerful country on earth.

    Asked & Answered (with no deflection).

    You just can't seem to wrap your brain around the fact that 97% of US Businesses are not publicly traded corporations, and thus not beholden to Wall Street.

    You probably can't wrap your brain around the fact that the average CEO salary is $230,090, precisely because 97% of US Businesses are not publicly traded corporations.

    https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes111011.htm

    You do understand the difference between publicly traded corporations and private corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships and general partnerships, do you not?

    What is sad is that so few Americans know how to do the math with their own finances. You failed to refute even a single number probably because you can't. Projecting your own shortcomings says volumes.

    Have a nice day!

    Thank you for proving my point that you are incapable of addressing the malign influence of the Wall Street Casino.

    Once again, 97% of US Businesses are not beholden to the Wall Street Casino and thus not under Wall Street's "malign influence".

    Repeating the same fallacy doesn't make it any less fallacious.

    It's not a fallacy, it's a fact. 3% of businesses are publicly traded corporations that are beholden to Wall Street, because they sell stocks, while 97% of businesses are private corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships and general partnerships that are not beholden to Wall Street, since they do not sell stocks.

    If you don't understand the difference between publicly traded corporations and other business organizations, you need to learn.

    Yet another non responsive attempt to move the goalposts in order to avoid addressing the question.

    Yup, sure did.

    I was against the "too big to fail" model that both Bush, Obama and basically everyone else in government kept parroting.

    We should have let a lot more of those guys fail, I have seen all the reports of how the world would have "ended" but I simply disagree.

    Yes it would have been more tumultuous, but it would have set the scale right much more quickly. We are still paying for the same issues now and I think they are not done hurting the world economy in the end.

    This isn't capitalism

    That would apply equally to everyone with a mortgage greater than 100% of their annual income.

    Very observant.
    Now take two seconds to consider the difficulty of having a large student loan on top of that. Not a difficult concept

    Agreed. Definitely not capitalism, and both parties are complicit

    The question was answered. It's not my fault you don't understand the difference between publicly traded corporations and other business organizations.

    Wall Street exerts no power over private corporations, LLCs, LLPs, LPs, GP, or Sole Proprietor ships, which comprise 97% of all US Businesses.

    In case you don't get it, private corporations to not sell stocks and thus are not beholden to Wall Street no matter what any of you believe.

    Still moving those goalposts in a desperate attempt to avoid addressing the question.

    I did address the question and it was answered. Too bad you can't wrap your brain around it.

    You don't understand Economics, either.

    Ndela lives in Sierra Leone and she currently earns the government established minimum wage of $115/month. The good news is that Sierra Leone is an emerging-State and still in its 1st Level Economy.

    The bad news is that in about 10-12 years, Sierra Leone is going to move into its 2nd Level Economy and start manufacturing items.

    How are US workers going to compete against that? In fact, how will US workers be able to compete against any of the sub-Saharan States?

    The 1.5 Billion people of China and the 1 Billion people in India will be buying products made in sub-Saharan Africa, not the US.

    Economics is all about achieving equilibrium. The 1st World States --US, Canada, Western Europe and Japan-- will devolve to 2nd World status, while the emerging- and developing-States -- the 3rd and 4th World, will rise to 2nd World status, and there you will have equilibrium.

    So just accept it.

    The 3% of businesses that are beholden to Wall Street will have to slash their work-forces and off-shore new developments in those sub-Saharan States, if they want to survive.

    There are 27,281,452 businesses in the US...and 21,351,320 businesses have no employees.

    That means there are only 5,930,132 businesses that have employees, and only 3% of those, or 177,904 business are publicly traded corporations. Some of the 5,752,228 businesses that are private corporations, LLCs, LLPs, LPs and GPs will have to make some adjustments, but they are not beholden to Wall Street regardless of what you might think.

    We are the richest country on earth.
    What is sad is that you obsess about our mathmatic abilities moreso than how to improve your standard of living.
