@SantiagoAuFund Where do you think money comes from?

[Cassandra Unchained @michaeljburry]

I am righteously indignant over the wealth transfer to the very few that these bubbles create. The whole system is about creating bubbles so the grift can happen, both inside companies, transferring wealth to their employees at obscene rates, and in politics, as we see all over.

What is the Republican plan to reduce inflation?

Anyone?

[Warren B. Mosler @wbmosler]

@HormuzLetter All it does is increase deficit spending marginally and shift a few $ between borrowers/savers.

@Barchart Basic income for people with money and in proportion to how much they already have.

Russia’s New Gulag https://t.co/S6AToIDBEQ
Piercing NYer article on the unknown number (est. at least 10K) of Ukrainian civilians illegally pulled from Ukraine into Russian prison colonies where they are raped, electrocuted, beaten sometimes to death and starved with no way out.

Private equity firms are acquiring insurance companies and then making loans through them that put taxpayers on the hook when the loans go bad. They keep the returns for now; eventually when the loans go bad we will all bail them out. Just more socialism for the rich in the USA.

Of course it’s all cowardice, in the end, that’s driven Putin’s barbarism this far

China resumes buying.
Crude up, cracks down, as shortage shifts from products to crude.

And crude reserves are depleted.

@TheStalwart Very interesting, and an important lesson for the user: when you need the highest-level output, make sure your input is sophisticated. Noted. Thanks for this.

[Warren B. Mosler @wbmosler]

@EdwardConard When the looming shortages hit the pumps, the price goes high enough for a drop in consumption to bring demand down to supply. It could easily take $10 gasoline/$300 crude oil for that to happen?

Bullseye 🎯 #MMT It’s not Modern and it’s NOT a Theory. It’s the Blueprint of Monetary System OPERATIONS.

OpenAI (Sam Altman- look him up) is now plugged into our national defense. Think about that.

We were once a nation that sought God before going to war. Now we’re consulting algorithms. Code over conscience. Models over morality.

When Silicon Valley starts guiding battlefield decisions, who answers to a higher authority? Because it sure isn’t the machine.

That shift should concern every American.
