I’ve never been happier than when I had nothing, and I never realized I had everything when I thought I had nothing.

The Fed is spending $2.5B to renovate its building. Where’d that money come from? Profits.
Where’d the profits come from? Interest on bonds.
How’d they buy the bonds? They printed the money.
So yes, the Fed printed $2.5B to renovate its office.

@stphnmaher So, a safeguard for your democracy is the government limiting how much money you can give to other people?

@Pontifex They can still redeem themselves before they get killed.

@FrosephStalin This is not a monopoly. Read more.

@Acyn @grok is this true, or people just be making shit up?

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

They shouldn’t pay for the infrastructure, I agree. The post is aimed at the electricity use itself. If a data center increases demand and electricity prices rise, that doesn’t mean it owes everyone else compensation. No one has a right to previous prices. The company should pay the full market price for the electricity it consumes, not be penalized simply for increasing demand. Dedicated infrastructure is different: those costs shouldn’t be paid by residential customers.

@JamesJinSC @RonDeSantis Such a stupid argument. "Should" is the left's favorite word. Government should pay for healthcare. College should be free. Taxes should be higher. No real substance.

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

@RonDeSantis How about letting competition expand supply instead of having the government dictate prices? You can’t claim to support free markets when it’s convenient, then embrace intervention the moment an issue becomes politically popular.

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

@RonDeSantis Someone has been reading Rothbard. Also, we can never forget to blame Strong.

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

@JackDunkins01 We define the value of money by money, correct.

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

Just found out we use more water for almonds than for data centers, and it’s not even close.

@RepLuna Why stop there? If capping things is the solution to unaffordability, let’s just cap everything: insurance, rent, groceries, and mortgage rates.

@ShaneStoffer Buy a farm and run it.

@jackvlloyd It's a masterclass on how to implement libertarian ideas in a world of intervention where the welfare state is ever-present.

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

Abandoning the ideas of free trade is not American. Punishing producers for the benefit of consumers is not American. Government intervention in the market is not American. There is no “should” in the market. You, a politician (parasite), should not determine what the market does.

@BiatchDulce Are you comparing starting two world wars that cost humanity millions of lives, with Trump being mean to Europe?

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

@G2Worlds He said “suck A dick” not “My dick”.

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

@amelia_tweetz Just because you don’t understand basic economics doesn’t mean people are “brainwashed.”

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

@UziCryptoo Yet Japan has a higher poverty rate than the US. Maybe, just maybe, the minimum wage is not indicative of how well a country is doing.

[Prometheus @Prometheus8_32]

@RepLuna Just come out and say you're a Democrat.
