You were told the dollar is money.
It isn’t.
This is the story of how saving became punishment, how debt became money, and how the American Dream became a subscription product with surge pricing.
@AdamBLiv covers how dollars are created, why banks don’t really “lend out” deposits the way most people think, how the gold standard was dismantled, why the dollar has lost nearly all of its purchasing power since the Federal Reserve was created, and how inflation forces normal people into financial anxiety, speculation, and lifelong dependence on a broken monetary system.
The dollar is just a Federal Reserve Note, a debt instrument, an IOU, a little green promise from a system that has spent the last century quietly destroying the value of your labor.
Fiat money is the greatest scam in history.
The scam is simple:
You give them your time.
They give you melting paper.
Then they call it prosperity.
There is something better. It is called Bitcoin.
@VigilantFox He should be more informed about this. Either he is playing dumb or doesn’t understand taxes aren’t necessary to fund anything because the banks print money.
@MarketPalmer_ Due to private equity take over of healthcare and insurance write offs doctors don’t make what they made 20-30 years ago and in the last ten years take home has been reduced by as much as 50%.
The Canadian government slaughtered 300 perfectly healthy Ostriches after scientists discovered Ostrich eggs have magical antibodies capable of curing an unknown numbers of life ending illnesses. Reports claim it was like watching a real life episode of black mirrors.
@acoyne It took 900-1000 gunshots to take them out over a 4 hour plus period. It continued during daylight this morning when they realized they had missed a few. It was completely inhumane. You are sick.

The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act (part of 2013 NDAA) repealed the prohibition that kept the U.S. government from using propaganda on U.S. citizens.
I voted against that NDAA.
Recently, I offered an Amendment to reinstate the prohibition, but @SpeakerJohnson blocked the vote.
