Accepting gays is definitely the same as funding sex change for prisoners and sending them to a female prison, which was one of the most successful ads in history.

Well I think a big issue with that is monetary policy. Which bids up the price of goods using debt, as everything becomes financialized. It used to be a mortgage had a real physical cost as a lump of gold moved around, now its just numbers in a computer created out of the ether, and this bids up the cost of living in order to derive what we call economic growth. A transfer from the young to the old essentially.

The 2% inflation we attempt to achieve is after hedonic adjustments, substitutions, and investments are taken out, and so the money supply grows at 10% a year as people are clinging by the skin of their teeth to eek out more aggregate demand to attempt to infinitely grow an economy.

The 2% inflation was decided in the 90s with no real logic put forth as to where it would lead, and its obviously lead to huge bubbles and asset inequality as people try to profit off the first mover advantage of their debt being debased, as the CPI was progressively modified to loosen the money supply to promote more economic growth over time.

In the late 80’s they removed housing appreciation from the CPI for instance, and what do you expect that did to home prices? They did that to fix another problem with the CPI, which was that raising interest rates raised inflation during Volcker, making it a feedback loop that lead to the double digit increase in rates. So it was already broken and it was then patched like it was a car held together with duct tape.

The briefcase of money turns into velocity of money, which turns into jobs, which turns into wage pressure, which turns into higher wages for the poor, so they can buy the product or service with their own greatest marginal utility; so in their eyes they view the briefcase of money as the optimal empathetic choice.

Well, assuming the right in this case are Ron Paul right-leaning and not Trump right-leaning. In Trumps case he does just want the briefcase of money for himself.

I’d always assumed they gave them a salary as well. Thats what I have at my job.

We need low interest rates and skyrocketing asset prices so that people pay 2% more to buy this next year. Consumption must go up so that people have worthless jobs producing trash that our politicians call economic growth, as people applaud their stocks rising.

You guys arent running your software off raspberry pi’s with sdcards from the gas station?

My allowance is 5$ a month!

Weird what happens when 40% of the currency was printed in the last few years.

Are we blaming the government who control interest rates, gamify the CPI to depress inflation, and who control the corresponding new money supply that drives up the price of basic goods?

If housing, gold, and crypto are any indication people have far too much money than they know what to do with. You’d have to be a fool to not accumulate some cantillon effect for yourself when you’re government is throwing money away.

If you read the project 2025 document you’ll see a section on the federal reserve, we seem to already be on the way there with Trump surprisingly. Which the document suggests capital punishment and a border wall, its not a document by the Fraser institute its a document crafted by Trump, you’re an fool if you cant see that.

Without inflation, when you require raising taxes to actually pay for things, you’ll see how much people are willing to spend for their DEI institutes and doing plays for other countries to cringe at.
