"every dollar the privately owned Fed prints out of thin air (with no gold standard backing it), is borrowed into circulation by the US Treasury. The Fed buys government debt, payable with interest, with money it creates out of thin air. The US government then grants this money to companies like Tesla. And taxpayers are left holding the can for generations"

Remember ehen the Fed bought private assets in 2008 and 2020, not only US Treasuries, so it was gauranteeing privately-created debt too?

How are taxpayers left holding the can, when taxes if anything have gone down since 2008?

Mood affiliate, much? Why not use hemp for a lot of packaging, bamboo, etc.? Is this really about your mood and desire to ruin someone else's mood with cherry-picked words? Is it so wrong to wonder if it's emotions all the way down? Is it impossible that rationality is just cherry-picked moods about things?

Is Trivialism so wrong?

What if offensive people played at scamming each other with fictitious assets, as if they had a sandbox to play in, while the real economy sustained itself because of a basic income? If those virtual assets crash, why should it spread by contagion and impose scarcity on the most vulnerable?
