"It doesn't become money supply it becomes private equity cash used to buy up competitors triggering out of control inflation"

Since the S&P 500 handsomely outperforms inflation, why not run a sovereign wealth fund to take advantage of the awesome power of private capital to expand, and return profits to citizens in the form of a basic income?

Can you please look at that and tell me tax receipts are not any kind of limitation on spending? Remember when trillion-dollar deficits were unthinkable yet here we are with the dollar still king?

Why give credence to the old, outdated belief that taxes fund government, rather than that taxes are a tool of social control, and we can easily just print the money and index inflation away?

Did you just make the case for a strong basic income?

Who wants to bet Electric Universe theory comes to be accepted and the Dirt People will have to revise all their banding stories?

Do you think Newton himself could have used a telescope to measure precession of Mercury? "The problem of the anomalous precession of Mercuryâ(TM)s perihelion appeared in 1859" Did the telescope technology already exist, just no one thought to measure Mercury's precession, and if so, why didn't smartie Newton think to test it?

Why would entropy allow such ubiquitous banding and precision in nature? Is steam-engine thermodynamics in conflict with reality?

Why did you leave out Aristarchus who was correct but ignored by the consensus science for millennia?

What if language itself demonstrates entanglement by simultaneously changing a verb to match a change in number of the subject?

I.e., is the subject in "I eat an apple" entangled with the verb such that a change from I to He or She immediately triggers a change in the verb from eat to eats?

Did you object that we can't see quantum mechanics because we live on a macro scale, but do experiments show superposition happening on a scale visible to the naked eye, and how does that influence your interpretation of the primacy of classical laws (i.e., can quantum laws like non-commutativity, tolerance of contradictions by hiding them in a matrix, etc. operate on a scale we can see?)?

"Money that you want because that's what pays for a functioning civilization."

When have taxes ever paid for more than a quarter of what the government spends? Does the fact that the Pentagon can't pass an audit mean they are writing blank checks without feeling restricted by Congressional authorization, which the Fed, ultimately, cashes?

Why do we even need an IRS?

What kind of $100-hammer-contracting is making a simple internet app into a $114 million boondoggle?

Why don't they put a checkbox on the tax form, "Yes I want to be thrown into a furnace to power AI"?

Why can't they fully legalize suicide? Why such blatant hypocrisy? Just because they can?

Given that the Pentagon can't pass an audit, how much of a rounding error is $114 million?

So why don't we push back when politicians and economists tell us GDP growth is good, mmkay? Laziness?
