    'I see everyday #politicians repeat like parrots #economic propositions they don't even start to understand, defending a model that a central #bank admitted was wrong over twelve years ago. ... The #Greens propose actual structural change and get labelled "communist" by people who have never read a balance sheet or a #Lenin text. The heterodox approach #predicted #2008, predicted the #housing #crisis, and predicted the current private #debt trap. The orthodox models predicted none of it ...'

    'The orthodox model was declared wrong by the Bank of #England in 2014. Their paper “#Money Creation in the Modern Economy” stated plainly: #banks do not lend out deposited #reserves in a multiplier chain. Banks create #deposits when they make #loans ...'

    (NZ's Social Credit Party got a Court to agree five decades earlier.)

    'The consequences are not theoretical or academic. When you worship the wrong model, you can’t do anything else than design the wrong #policy. You pretend not to see the #monopoly extracting over 6 billions from a #mortgage market they control 87% of. You don’t see that raising rates shift #income from #borrowers to banks and does not touch the supply of housing stock. You end up believing the #household metaphor is literal — that the Crown pockets are empty — when #NZ’s #Crown debt is 44% of #GDP...'

    (The OECD average is about twice that.)

    '... #Galileo was almost burned at stake for simply asking the #Inquisition #judges to look in the telescope. Same old, same old.'

    'Gentlemen, it is clear cut #class #warfare, and the #vested interests are so encrusted in #society that they are winning. Remember that their main weakness is in numbers, they are damaging and literally #robbing the majority of us, of the New Zealand society and brainwashing many trees to think that voting for the axe is the #prudent, #family sensible thing to do. The only chance you have is when numbers talk. The #election is coming...'

  5. 🎓🔍 Ah yes, the classic "we'll only fund you if your degree actually leads to a job" rule. Because who needs #philosophy #majors or aspiring poets when you can churn out endless rows of business bros 📈? Clearly, education's only purpose is to make sure you can pay off those #student #loans before your knees give out! 💼🤑

  6. Sales have remained sluggish as #mortgage rates have mostly trended higher in the months since the #war between the #US & #Iran started. Expectations of higher #inflation amid surging #oil prices have pushed up the long-term #BondYields that lenders use as a guide to pricing home #loans, causing mortgage rates to climb. Still, mortgage rates remain below where they were a year ago.

    Remember kids, when government creates money, it's evil and inflationary, bit when rich people do it, it is good for everyone.

  8. By the way most of the #SpaceX ”market cap” valuation is fake.

    Most of those #shares will never become available, and an even smaller amount is available for the initial offering.

    The market did not just buy SpaceX shares for 2.1$T

    But what actually happened is a lot capital got created, via the #leverage #loans that were taken out to buy the 1/20th which became available.

    This is ”growth” based on imagination. But the numbers for #interest already got punched in as future income for banks!

  9. #Trump orders #banks to take a closer look at clients' #citizenship

    Trump on Tuesday signed an #ExecutiveOrder that requires banks to take a closer look at the citizenship of their customers, a new measure in his admin’s push to clamp down on people living in the country illegally.

    The order directs #bank regulators & government depts to look for signs that people without legal status are opening accounts or obtaining #loans or #CreditCards.

  10. The coalition of #states fears the rules will force many #students to rely on more expensive private #loans, delay completing their #education or abandon their pursuit of an advanced degree altogether. The group worries the rules will worsen #workforce shortages & make it harder for #patients, especially those in rural and underserved communities, to access #healthcare. The states are asking the court to block the rules.

  11. Feeding #children using the same #system of banks (allowing banks to #cheat / leverage / profit from us with #loans / #debt-increases / #virtual #maths) isn't going to get us in a better position later - even with a stash of money & everything else emptied out.

    Right? 👶

    #Banks help pay for both sides of #war and #planetary #damage and #amoral / #asocial.

    #Parents have less children or consider this first before jumping into more locked-in #debt / #manipulation.

  12. ☑️ 🏦 Banks re-loan my money while I 'think it's stored in the #bank 🚨

    ☑️ Loans dilute / cheapen the whole pool of money each time a loan is created.

    ☑️ 💸 Newly added "money" (loans from loans) reduces the value of all existing money.

    ☑️ Loans add more #power to #banks via high-return investments / #bad projects / #speculation / #gambling.

    ☑️ Banks pay / #finance #industrial #warfare (often both sides) for #planes #guns #tanks etc...

  13. Public Banks = #Answer to Life ?

    If you solve #Banks #exploitation / #power ( re-loaning your money all the time for their own power increase 🔼 )
