@sam_d_1995 Redcoat loyalist sympathizer. If this was 1765, you would have been tarred and feathered, humiliated in front of all. Shame that we live in an age of such bootlicking compliance.
@DecodingFoxNews Always strange when an overwhelming majority submits to the most effeminate men in that room.
Who supports those tyrants? The people, and who’s fault is it if they suffer under one? The people. Deny the tyrant your obedience and he falls. See La Boetie’s Discourse from 1577
@JeffWeniger this might have been true in the 1700s South Sea and John Law's schemes. The bomb has not burst, no one's demanding currency out of the system, the market will continue to inflate as currency loses value.

@MaikelTheLion It’s from Part 2 Chapter 8 of the essay. He talks of a gold mine which increases the money supply. Simply replace the gold mine with the USD. He says this consumption will increase prices and the cost of labor thus eroding the domestic manufacturing base.

@VomKryger@songpinganq@jordanbpeterson Power can be used for good or ill. The power given to government today will most certainly be used against you in the future. This is about precedent, this single step of allowing a foot in the door and eventually, the whole door is opened.
