We shouldn't have to work 40 hours a week to afford a basic life. We do because our currency is constantly losing value. This is by design.

There's a lot of talk about inflation and its causes. Is it corporate greed? Supply chain issues? One clear base cause of inflation less talked about is having an inflationary currency supply. Any other inflation caused by supply chain issues, corporate greed, lack of market competition, etc is just added on top of that. Fiat...

Most people take it as given that printing more money causes inflation, and they can be forgiven for thinking so, as it has been hammered home to them by mainstream economics professors in every econ 101 course the world over for many decades.

The central banks contradict this themselves all the time, they lower and raise interest rates, which leads to changes in newly created money, to modify inflation.

Buildings could be constructed by government owned organizations

Ok, so you want the government to be the landlord as you have more trust in a government monopoly than in a market. Fair. Just not something I agree with.

In other words - you’re oblivious scum

I’m not American. You’re obviously a hateful prejudiced asshole.

Half of the apartments I lived in were built by their owners or by their parents. And not as in literally built as all the idiots here try to twist my words.

Exactly the answer I was expecting. People don’t buy things, credit cards do.

tho I wouldn’t be surprised if you thought Buttcoin was necessary for cleaning your shitty ass.

Nah, bitcoin did exactly what I thought it would do, just much faster than expected. It’s funny how many people who think they hate capitalism love the petrodollar system.
