@LynAldenContact@AmmousMD I think there’s probably only fringe benefits beyond like 72 hours (maybe even less). Intermittent fasting, calorie (esp. Carb) restriction, Keto diet, are probably the things that could be most beneficial to most people.
@VladTheInflator I am a white man, supporting everyone that I think that is a libertarian supporter (including white men). If you are against big government I’m with you, and if you’re for big government then I’m against you. How about that?
@Nostre_damus@KingKong9888 I am conflicted about what I think of Brent’s view. At times, I think he’s spot on, but in most, I feel he misses the forest for the trees. He likes gold and says it will win in the end, but not now. The dollar is still king? I mean, like c’mon man, make a choice!
@LukeGromen@Mike_Taylor1972 Isn’t there a caveat if they can ensure wages (or UBI) + Stock Market gains combined tax receipts stays close to outlays? I get that this is very nuanced — but what are your expected outcomes if wages overpeform or stock market overperforms? Or the opposite?
@ThHappyHawaiian Yes, but the difference is that they can buy an infinite amount of bonds w/ printed money. Sure, they can “short oil lower” all they want, but that only exacerbates the discrepancy between supply & demand. They can’t print oil. They’re virtually guaranteeing a bigger problem ltr.
@RussoHockey
How realistic for Wild to trade Gus to FL who needs a goalie, retain salary to facilitate their biggest need, and get back draft picks / prospects in return?
@LukeGromen would be wise to institute a 20, or maybe 25, or 30 hour work week as the standard, which would enable those working to work less, and make more jobs available to those unemployed or underemployed because of what we might see as a large technological deflation event from AI? 3/4
I want to be very clear about something that everyone needs to prepare for.
The entire world economy is a usury ponzi scheme.
They start out with sound money, tighten belts... Then slowly over time, more and more theft emerges. First its for good projects, then its for rich people, then it slowly trickles into welfare for everyone.
The system is designed to crash. They buy all the assets with sound money, introduce usury, then spend 50 years destroying the real economy to justify lowering interest rates to inflate asset prices.
Right up until they run into zero and there is nothing to manipulate any longer.
Instead of taking their medicine, there is one last grasp for cash. One last heist before it all comes down (where we're at today).
The collapse will be historic, but this time they really can't bail out the system without burning the US dollar and every global currency on earth.
So one last heist, to collapse, to hyperinflation to pretending it will never happen again.
It always happens again, because that's what the elite do. They avoid production and actual work AT ALL COST.
That's why there's a rush for "stable coins." Once the USD is worthless they start "fresh" with a new fiat, likely backed by real money (gold) and the game starts over.
@j_fishback@VladTheInflator Let’s say you OD on fentanyl, but cop finds you still alive on the top of a tall building. If the cop throws you off the building, and you hit the ground and die, was it the fentanyl that killed you, or the cop that threw you off?
@JohblowerBurke@VladTheInflator@judyshel Government doesn’t need to redeem just as now. Parties interested in holding purchasing power of their savings will buy gold with their melting dollars. Judy’s bonds will probably hold much value, but become questionable toward redemption date.
@MarioNawfal #1 it tells you that the inflation calculation is wrong (understated). It should probably be like double that. And #2 this is you providing the labor to build the house. I could do it, but very precious few others can. They all need to hire everything out, which adds massively.
