Baldur’s Gate.

From what I understand, we’ve already pushed the limits of option 2 during the Housing Crisis and COVID. Printing more money is talked about as though it’s impossible without causing more harm than good.

The neoliberal claim that the amount of money printed directly influenced inflation has been tested and couldn’t be proven so far.
Hyperinflation is either caused by too much demand or too little supply of goods, or by greedy fucking billionaires price fixing.

They still keep making that claim and neoliberal governments (pretty much all of them) still act on it because it makes rich people richer. Nations sell their public infrastructure or make other bad deals to beg private actors for money, those earn interest and dividends.

As long as the USD is the de facto world currency it also seems highly unlikely that any amount of money printing would hit it’s value too hard. There’s always demand for dollars. On the other hand, Trump is working hard on incentivizing the world to use different currencies.

in the event of like complete societal collapse or hyperinflation, they could use it for purchasing.

They are going to learn that you can’t eat gold. It has next to no purpose other than looking pretty, and that’s not going to matter much anymore in one of these events. It’s value is as speculative as any other.

Engineers use math and know math. That doesn’t mean they have math degrees. They have engineering degrees. Of which math courses are a part.

Moreover, most people with actual math and science degrees explicitly are not engineers.

This is not StarCraft.

Now I imagine Sam Vimes fighting ICEstapo.

And how would you know if that report will be telling the truth?

Why are they not doing that right now? That’s what I’ve been asking myself since Epstein didn’t kill himself.

You don’t think that means they are done purging every copy of the files in existence of any mention of people in his corner?

That one hook on the key hanger is mine, and I will keep moving my GF’s keys to the next one every afternoon until she learns.

These three people and neoliberals don’t have anything in common. They’ll stand at opposite ends of almost every political spectrum imaginable.

Reality tends to have a strong left wing bias indeed.

Waiters have told me to please not stack the dishes because it messes with their carrying technique.

Both are true. In a multi party system one party can very well be a strong faction or the strongest one (and cause associated problems) while still losing on “winner takes all” races because the entire rest of the spectrum is strongly opposed to them.

We should still be terrified, because the NSDAP took over the country from that exact position.

Apart from this guy obviously being biased and a super villain: Nobody who held this opinion was ever able to even give me a rough idea of an explanation how it should supposedly damage the economy. The excessively rich don’t spend most of their wealth (which would induce growth through demand), they sit on it and watch it grow. Taxing it takes not a single cent out of the economy.

In this case we’re looking at proposed 2%. The fortunes of the excessively rich grow by 10% and more in a year. So with this tax they would still get richer and richer. Attach another zero to that number, then we’d be getting somewhere.

If you count inanimate objects as victims maybe.

Watch as the EU will proceed to do nothing about it.

Yeah, I heard they gave his spot to famous Italian billionaire Donaldo Trumpetto.

That is a bit of an exaggeration.

Next week he’ll claim he fucked her mom.
