Report: A Lancet study says millions of people are left to die when politicians gut aid systems, eg, Trump with USAID.

"Some 239 million people are estimated to need aid in 2026, but only a third of that figure may actually receive it."

Recall the billionnaires' eugenicist credo:

"Even if billions perish in the coming climate catastrophe.. we shouldn’t be too concerned".

@DrALJONES i heard the new fed chair talked about "devaluing the currency because the returns from ai would pay us back in the future" and my mind instantly went to "that's not devaluing the currency that's devaluing peoples lives" like its basically a way to reduce the population because the idea that ai automatically gives us the returns we want is bs. it will help a lot as i've studied the tech in ways i dont see people talking about but like the point of capitalism isn't to support exchange value, that was just a way to import cyborg robots and their labor. the point of capitalism is to accumulate capital.

@David_Esposito

Yes, and there's an even more fundamental fiction at work, namely that the feds require income, whereas, in fact, they issue the currency (and manage inflation by when, how, and on what they spend).

@DrALJONES basically modern monetary theory if i'm correct thats what your alluding to.

@David_Esposito

Yes, as Alan Greenspan tries to explain it to a nonplussed Paul Ryan:

Greenspan: "There is nothing to prevent the government from creating as much money as it wants."

@DrALJONES i will admit i have to likely go integrate my understanding of MMT with this new fed person guy. but also the thing that spooks me MMT can be used to take planetary boundaries / climate action but it isn't a fix it self and is still limited by energy and materials which thats where a lot of my eyes on the future are that freak me out. i have to also go look at it more but degrowth is one solution to elite overproduction, there are several other solutions but i don't see any politician or person describing futures at the moment who integrate elite overproduction with planetary boundary issues. and one thing i just realized with that data centers creating heat. and i know water vapor is a greenhouse gas. i have to look up how those systems work better. like do they release it or do they phase change it in their own center and just heat exchange it out somewhere. but what im kinda noticed was those data centers may be able to increase heat of microclimates. saw a headline earlier that said they could raise phoenix climate by 4 deg F and im like "that's the areas thats hot enough as it is." it will be interesting to see if that actually is bad enough to affect things. because couple that with heat spikes, they are not turning data centers down to make citizens comfortable. plus climate migration is people not saying "im moving because of climate" its them saying "im moving because of a disaster and or because things became too unbearably expensive" they don't need to have made sense of it.

Re "It isn't a fix it self":

No, "a fix" is not the point.

Mmt does nothing more than describe *how currency issuers' spending actually works*. That's what Greenspan's doing.

"How x works" doesn't map onto "a fix".

"Public expenditure is always financed through money creation rather than taxation or debt issuance":

The fiction about fed "debt" is just to keep workers in their place. The debt pretence goes with the job of fed chair.
