That's just honesty, though.
The art imitating life. There are no guarantees in life.
The #proprietarySoftware scene may have a bit more momentum from the #moneyPump post-1971, from Epstein-type backing *cough* *#Microshaft, c'flare, and lucrative govt contracts and collusion with organised crime like the ClA (#SpaceX).
From advert campaigns funded by ever lower interestRates (Ggle, Amzn), #stockBuyBacks (Apple), taxAvoidance etc.
Honestly, #FOSS is what you MAKE IT.
@jeffcliff
We personally welcome a #SteadyStateEconomy more inline with #LimitsToGrowth.
We wish it *really* came in 2019 rather than years later but they just had to do that #moneyPrinting.
Russian President #VladimirPutin did not have any kind word about the #moneyPump in his recent address, we haven't heard a translation yet. The unequal way the #pandemic payouts were dished out and those damned #assetPurchases.
Both criminal, and cronyist.
@koherecoWatchdog
Basically that the #inflation could not be passed on due to a cap from the regulator. Apparently govt is stepping in to try a prevent private operators from cutting ppls power off but some outages are still expected apparently.
It could be a lesson in #privatisation and #moneyPump, but corpos will probably try to pin it on Putin.
Hahaha!!!!!1
That SpaceX/#memecoin-pushing entity that has ready access to the #moneyPump just bought flipping #Turdsite.
Can we ask what day you adopted the term, '#CAGEFAM' to describe the #digitalFascists? (hint: the 'E' is for the '#Entity' that bought Turdsite).
See how they interfered against #GameStop, and that was small potatoes.
At that time we were saying, "Don't use their tools" and we were right. Reddit, #RobinHoodwinked are their tools.
See (#)JenniferAshooh in relation to #reddit.
The payment rails of #fiatCurrency and #moneyPump themselves are rigged against notions of #convivialSufficiency. We hate to sound like cryptobros but an #uncensorableMoney is fundamental to ending the #spaghettification and impending war.
@jeffcliff
Yes, but #interestRate hikes will not mean much if the #moneyPump is still pumping 'up the wahzoo'. Also they need to be seen relative to where they need to be.
We have and are seeing a dodgy #financialProducts and schemes being bandied around all over.
A #maximumRentalIncome fixed to the 10% above the #socialSecuriy payment or a UBI would likely help seperate wheat from chaff.
We'll need to keep an eye on a number of things in the melting pot.
@Hyolobrika
We theorised last year that there's a definate air of #1970s-style #PropertyOwningDemocracy in the mania surrounding #scamTokens.
On this occasion though we think the #moneyPrinters will always reward those participating in the #mania via #AI because it keeps #kids off streets and in a digital, electrified world.
For the longest time, they've been trying to decouple #GDPGrowth from #growth in energy/resource use.
Its bad to use #ethScam + #algos + #moneyPump for it.

@Br0m3x
Its as if ppl needed an excuse to drop the #uselessJobs.
An out.
They couldn't just tell the boss "this isn't really worth the inputs"? Could this be how we reach sustainability? The problem they think a #moneyPump will solve this but all that does is increase #inequality. Thus likely to have the reverse effect?
Imagine if fiat became the #lifeSupport for the terminally stupid.
There were two parallel #economies, #hardCurrency and the #inflatingMess.
2/2
At one point in the paper they put 'educated' in inverted commas, stating how the #education systems are failing against mythical #economicNarratives like 'growth can continue forever if it's in #serviceIndustries', or '#technology can save us'.
They're right, #perpetualGrowth itself is delusional, and its great to see them specifically target the 3.5% number #Keynesianism clings to. It doesn't delve into the #moneyPump specifically, which is unfortunate.
Do read the (15min read) paper.
@edavies
A #flatFee would work if ceteris paribus (all things remain equal), but we all know now they have a #moneyPump that they use to help those close to #power and so this is likely to be a remix of the failed #trickleDownEconomics.
Even years before the 2019 #RepoCrisis and ensuing #bailouts thinkers were saying a #carbonTax would lead to #financialisation, without properly addressing issues.
We need honest #leadership.
