It literally does not make sense that a lack of money is a possible thing. We already proved printing what amounts to infinite money literally doesn't change anything --- except & unless the majority of the new money

Especially when the group of people allowed to endlessly fuckup is responsible for the half a mistake because somehow they're in charge of offering options
weird how this all adds up perfectly to explain my POV (if given enough time to explain /asked) but the opposing POV never adds up correctly

explained more succinctly
a tiny amount of people shouldn't get to fuckup endlessly while the vast majority, like 99.999999999999999999% of humans have half a mistake to make before they are condemned for life (ie if you were born after 1990 without enough money)

According to Brook's Law a lack of money should _never_ be the problem
How do you even build a system where that is a possibility?
That is fundamentally broken

Point being we already have proof if the people going without necessities right now were given that money that was given to those who spent on wasteful selfish wants, it wouldn't do anything except help rebalance "things" towards where they should've been already

The neat part about this is now we have empirical evidence that actually all that money being printed didn't actually change anything irl, what changed things is who got the free money & what it was spent on

More than I'll explain well - it's complicated (but simple).
Not sure of a better way than comparing to music:
Lots of music is off key or out of harmony / random noise - but sounds good. Not all musicians can do that well. That doesn't stop others from trying, sounding terrible and looking "dumb"
