Wow. So you really gave up on the concept of credibility entirely, huh?

Except none of that is true because the command economy runs on kickbacks and favors like every other command economy, which leads to Russian-style corruption-induced scarcity, and hyperinflation has crippled the economy. Only the uber rich who have converted to Canadian dollars and pesos can thrive

If you're not printing money, none of the professionals in the central government setting production rates for goods will be paid, so they are actively incentivized to continue printing money under all circumstances.

But yes, you've found one of the major functions of taxes - regulating inflation

Again, your scheme requires infinitely *accelerating* growth, not just infinite growth. It makes a major problem with capitalism worse. Capitalists want infinite growth, but your scheme requires the economy to grow at an ever-increasing rate. If growth slows, you get hyperinflation and a depression.

Like, for this to work it would mean not just infinite growth, but infinitely *accelerating* growth

Except you cannot grow an economy at an infinitely accelerating rate, which is what your scheme would require

A system in which the government prints money without any revenue to cover its debts will not experience healthy inflation. It will experience *hyperinflation*

And yet, you are advocating for printing money to cover expenditures without having any revenue stream to serve as a backing for the country's currency, which would necessarily lead to printing money at a rate that outstrips the actual size of the economy

The thing is, every time people print large amounts of money - and it keeps happening - the same hyperinflation strikes, so there's no reason to believe that actually the opposite will happen if we do it again

Pleae take what I'm saying as a genuine attempt to engage with your ideas and not a flippant dismissal: Our bonds are worth money because we collect taxes. Printing money independent of any revenue system would cause the same hyperinflation seen in every other country that's ever adopted that policy

If the government simply printed the money it needed to cover expenditures, then that money would quickly lead to an oversupply that speeds up inflation

We're actually not living in that system! You see, taxes serve the purpose of concentrating money from the private sector and distributing it to workers and contractors to achieve government ends. The process of printing and destroying money is carefully controlled to avoid oversupply.

So, the solution of just printing more money without considering where that money is coming from has been tried many times before, and every time it leads to economic ruin, whatever economic system is in effect

With what money?

But who wants to tell their constituents that they stood up to a historically unpopular president to protect their livelihoods???

Hell, I'm white and still have aunts who aren't the sibling of a parent. I don't know how deep the WASP roots have to run for them to pretend not to know how people use a word, but this shit is weird.

Lol, "space is inherently boring, so we chose to invest as little time as possible into making the things you do interesting or engaging at both the story and gameplay level."

I suspect *not* doing that would have made space less boring.

Saw this right after finishing another tooth fairy mission, so thanks lol

Didn't a dude get sexually assaulted at this con? A con where a creator shattered her spine some years ago because they made a dangerous foam pit? I don't think creator safety is a top concern.

Not so sure about those guests

Love that Trump is doing this *after* Ukraine stopped Russia's offensive and started seriously damaging Russian oil production.

If Tolkien was resonating with these people, they wouldn't aspire to be dragons.

Other countries that work closer with the US and have older, formal relationships don't have their own facilities in the US.

Final Fantasy IX knocked it out of the park with a bunch of vignettes showing the growth of all these beloved characters. I've seen more than one person burst into tears of joy playing that one

Now the Middle East is pivoting into us

Yeah, either to protect a weaker ally or to project power against an adversary. Why does Qatar need to project military power into the US?
