How about we just make more money? Like not us individually but there should just be more money in general
If you have that one guy who requests a lot of money and then pays literally nothing to its workers and just keeps that money like its a Mario collection you need to keep… then no amount of “more money in general” will improve our situation
To every Mario there’s a Luigi, let the brothers work this one out on their own I say
I wish every Mario has a Luigi.
I guess it depends how greedy they are. That one Healthcare CEO was really greedy, so he got the final Collection complete with Luigi
This is wrong. In fact, the reason for inflation is exactly this - Printing money inflates the general supply, which robs you of your purchasing power, aka, makes every piece of money less valuable because there is more of it.
What we need is good, hard, sound money, that cannot be printed into oblivion by a select few who deem it necessary.
Gold was this until 1971. But synthatic gold (adds to inflation) has become a problem, plus it’s not hard-capped, inflation is just slow.
Obviously, we all know the solution by now, or have heard of it, so I’ll just let time do the rest.
“Inflation” is being driven by broad spectrum price gouging across the narrow “competition” that exists now within each necessary component of American life. Essentially a bunch of cartels and legalized monopolies are racheting up their margins to ensure that their shareholders see continual profit gains, quarter on quarter.
It has very little to do with money supply, at this point.
Why do you think we’ve been seeing concurrent record profits from public and private corporate sectors, while the middle class has been leaning more and more on credit? The two are directly linked; this is a wholesale extraction of wealth from the plebes to the upper wealth layer via corporate collusion and governmental willful blindness.
It’s a smash and grab job before the curtain falls, because it’s certainly not sustainable.
TIL Japan doesn’t exist.
Japan has deflation problems despite having the money printers going full blast for the last 25-30 years.
I know you’re just trying to be helpful but this is [email protected] and the way I see it, the more money you have the more you can spend and I wanna spend BIG.
It’s by design. A populace that is struggling to get by can’t afford to strike and resist, but striking is the only way to make it better. Peaceful protests do nothing. Only a general strike can possibly change things.
That doesn’t work. It ends up with a populace smuggling goods, black markets and foreign influence.
Furthermore, underlings who do have money will start rebellions demanding secession.
Unless the designer is a foreign influencer from a more powerful country, which can only be China. But national leaders who put puppet presidents into offices have a tendency to want their puppets to be very loyal and friendly towards them.
what does any of this have to do with general strikes?
I had to read my own post ten times to figure out if I was replying to the right person.
I meant to say that “If it’s by design, then that design won’t work”.
I was nitpicking here.You seem to be describing polish soviet europes smuggling in of goods during shortages and the black market around.
Of course strikes work, we’d be working 7 days a week if they didnt, your grandstanding about ‘foreign influence’ makes you sound like you’re posting from a US airbase lol…
Dont strike you dirty proles, the chinamen might steal your elections!
Give me a break kid.
Historically, two labor strategies have been the most effective in rapid change: a- striking to deny output of goods and services, b- violence.
You definitely don’t want b. A is a compromise.
Wealth inequality is the sort of problem that is a major contributing factor to most other problems, so much stuff would be fixed if that got fixed.
Pro hint: posting things to sarcastic / shitpost communities undermine the credibility of the message you’re trying to send.
No it doesn’t. You just don’t like the fact that you’re being forced to acknowledge how bad things are because you can’t hide in your shitposting safe space anymore
Im not against the message of this post.
Maybe I didn’t understand your comment right.
Have you tried not being poor?
Step 1: don’t be poor … Step 3: profit
step2?
Inheritance
