  • Taxes are deflationary (they are the death of money), rather than cut spending - you could just slap a bunch of taxes on Musk and others hoarding of wealth.

    That’s the problem with spending cuts, you might be cutting deflationary spending, or price stabilizing spending. Not all spending is inflationary.

    A homeless person often costs the government more than an unemployed person, because usually they’re gonna still be collecting some benefits here and there, often they end up in jail, or are more likely to use public housing, or do crimes which need policing/court involvement… It all stacks up.

    Preventing people from becoming homeless is deflationary.













  • What are you talking about? A bunch of European countries used slave labour. Have you never heard of what King Leopald did in the Congo? Or wondered why so many people in Africa speak french? Hell, a bunch of west african central banks are still run/owned by France. And you’re gonna love learning about the “reconcentration” of cuban farmers Spain did.

    All of that takes racism (just ask the Irish what’s burried under their work houses… Lots of women and babies that’s what).

    As for asians and racism… Thailand still uses Farang as a slur now and then, and at first it meant French (now it just means whitie). Japan and China are still racist to each other… Not to mention what Japan did to POWs in WW2.

    Phewie boy, everyone does the Racism. Hell Cambodia even did it to themselves for a while there.
