@idlepenguin @PaulSWagner@gbuchdahl Exactly! Why would you want to be embarrassed by someone with as horrible a fashion sense as myself? That’s just rough.
@Markfhoffer@junior_blk1@gbuchdahl My guy, math has not changed since you were in school. Math is a universal constant. So I sincerely apologize for the education you received.
@AnneUndone1 @MartynJames4@gbuchdahl True capitalists don’t think corporations and monopolies should exist either. We just Think the best way to achieve that is by removing the federal government who make laws allowing them to thrive and dominate
@AnneUndone1 @MartynJames4@gbuchdahl Government and corporate greed go hand in hand. That’s just it. Corporations of this magnitude don’t exist without being propped up by big government. Corporations, for the most part, are just awful in every way.
@LuckyOtakuOW @gbuchdahl Nah. I think government overreach and trillions in stimulus packages, which included those payments, are the reason for global inflation.
@nulltensor@gbuchdahl Of course I don’t believe that, nor am I expressing this. Without corporate bailouts, stimulus, lobbying, and tax breaks. Corporations of this magnitude don’t exist. Remove government from the question and these corporations never could have amassed the wealth they have now
@PaulSWagner@AMWhite99@gbuchdahl It wasn't the teeny tiny US stimulus check that triggered inflation, it was the government shoveling more money than has ever been created in the world into an artificially stale economy. It was 7 billion dollars of leverageable debt dumped on the American people.
@AnneUndone1 @gbuchdahl Oh absolutely there were many contributing factors outside of those checks to individuals. Nearly every factor can be boiled down to one root cause. An unchecked federal government.
@Twishypoo @RosalieHornbuc1@PaulSWagner@gbuchdahl Obama is number 5 all time in terms of increasing our national debt. He was a war hawk who spent billions bombing and killing people in the Middle East. And Biden has helped contribute to record inflation and trillions in additional spending. In 2022 alone, 1.84 trillion added
@AnneUndone1 @MartynJames4@gbuchdahl Even if we taxed Elon at 100% of his net worth, that could fund the government for less than a year. Let’s get rid of income tax entirely, allow the free market to work towards lowering costs and quit spending billions on inefficient government programs. Start with military
@RosalieHornbuc1@PaulSWagner@gbuchdahl I most Certainly did complain. You’re so close to understanding the problem yet so far away. This isn’t a partisan issue. This is a federal overreach issue. All modern presidents aside from Bill Clinton have seen deficit increases.
