@sj_zero @ErikUden thats a pretty based assessment, please also note the creation of the fed in a vote by congress 111 years and 3 days ago, which helped to accelerate the decline, and entench #cronyism.

it creates a system where those people closest to the new money, closest to those people who #inflate the money supply, are the ones who get the greatest benefit, before the IMPACTS of the inflation have rippled through the economy and caused the higher prices.

ie. ppl are often led to think that #inflation is the increase in the prices, no the increase in the prices is ONLY the effect of the #stealthTax called inflation.

E.Muskreant is not the only beneficiary of govt and bankster favourable treatment, jeffBezos was a beneficiary who was allowed to keep losing money for well over a decade, i understand that falsebook was too.

since 2001 about over 21 trillion is gone "missing" in the usa alone.

we are basically a nation under blackmail and bribes, to unelected banksters. we have socialism, but its vastly to serve those closest to the banksters for there imperial, genocidal expansionist thirst for power and control over us.

@Hamishcampbell
One of our greatest challenges with all technology is keeping it decentralised, their is a tendency to want to centralise it for supposed efficiency.

Four examples:

1) All our #microchips made in the Chinese province of #Taiwan, we didn't resist that hard enough.
2) the internet via #CAGEFAM
3) bitcoin via lightning, ppl are resisting this.
4) the #experimentMedication patent that was not wavered and made #openSource, despite it being largely funded by a #stealthTax.

@probabilitybroach
We saw it coming in 2019, when during the #RepoCrisis, they were printing tens of billions each and every day.

We must be super-geniuses!

Please forgive us, but we can't afford to waste 8 mins of our life being told by a bunch of arsehats at #TheEconomists that the #stealthTax in the form of #counterfiatCurrency is actually a good thing.

As we assume they are, anyway (we remember the debates we would win on #Fakebook with #MMT pushers, before we were #SuspiciousActivityed).
