i know i’m being a but i despise the term ‘taxpayer funds’/‘taxpayer money’. besides being completely wrong in nearly all cases, it places taxes above the people, above labor.

‘American taxpayer is paying for the genocide in Gaza’. No, every person/entity using U.S. Dollars is paying for it. Even foreign countries are indirectly paying for it.

if you want the mainstream perspective look up ‘quantity theory of money’. from that it follows, less spending means less money and less inflation. so, spending rules reduce inflation by constraining the Government (but not commercial bank lending).

it can be true (sometimes), if you leave the economy with massive unemployment due to insufficient spending so that people don’t have money, it slows down and eventually shrinks but hey atleast there is ze price stabilité.

if you want non-mainstream macroecon books, these two ones I have read and can recommend. 1 2

Nearly drowned once falling into a lake and not knowing how to swim. I didn’t think about death, it was more “how do I get out”. Luckily someone else got my hand.

But really, I don’t care. LLMs can’t replace real online forums.

History started on February 2022 for Russia and Ukraine and October 7th for Israel and Palestine.

The real budget will end up being a fraction of what’s needed and most of that’ll end up in capitalist pockets.

I see every bourgeois media outlet whine about how “expensive” nuclear is. I see others worrying about electricity prices dropping so low it won’t be profitable for the capitalists.

They are sound finance deficit hawks, it’s not happening.

Hey, humans put those tags on sheep. Republicans do it to themselves.

i hate all tech corps. you can use (and even like) their products and also think they are evil, oligopolies and all.

i cant abandon my gmail because i don’t even know how many sites and how many people i have given it to. i like youtube because it’s THE slop factory. Maps is also pretty good, love Street View, Chrome is ‘ok’ but Firefox is a perfectly usable (and in many ways, better) substitute (especially given Google’s ad shenanigans).

gooners

“Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an ‘open source’ sticker on it.”
