To sum up recent dsa-mmt discussion.
Dsa: the roof is leaking, get rid of the cockroaches.
Mmt: Fix the darn roof. Of course you need to get rid of the roaches, but that's not how you fix the roof.
Rest in Power, @davidgraeber. His work, especially 'Debt', massively influenced and helped shaped my politics & woldview as a naive young man. He was also just an incredibly kind and genuine human being. Utterly gutted by his loss.
Dems (& a big chunk of the left) reactively tweeting about the Trump payroll tax cuts are engaging in a self-defeating political burlesque. If they're actually genuine about saving SS and Medicare, they should put down Twitter, see 👇 and remessage. Full stop. No excuse for this.
"To economist @ptcherneva, the pandemic didn't just present the American economy with a unique set of problems, but rather revealed its built-in flaws that have long prevented millions of Americans from securing decent jobs."

I think History has proven the question to be more of a given than a question and that it’s up to governments to not devastate any aspect of an economy by balancing aggregate & demand in each sector. @leftoutpodcast @StephanieKelton #MMT https://t.co/eJZ97vNEtM
