  1. It's always "more complicated than that." Nevertheless this thread (unrolled so you don't have to go there) brings together some interesting graphs.

    Wonder how many should be on the spurious correlations site. 😀

    #Tariffs can't even be used to fund anything, because #taxes don't fund anything. The purpose of taxes (other than driving behavior or fore use of the currency) is to cause #deflationary pressure by reducing the #money supply.

    There's no reduction in the #MoneySupply, to do that you'd need to tax #exports!
    Tariffs have their uses, specifically to level playing fields w/r to human rights, workers #rights, #environmental stewardship, etc...

    So, collecting #money (from a #foreign entity) and then putting that money into our #economy causes _double_ inflation in our economy and deflation in _their_ economy, strengthening their currency and capacity for government spending.

    #Trump is a fucking moron. Though it does give me hope.

    He's a petty #tyrant who is making an #empire of ash. He can't simultaneously succeed in becoming a #fascist #dictator and also destroying the #state.

  4. Here’s how we know inflation is not “an increase in the money supply” or even a *function* of an increase in the money supply:

    Inflation is differential.

    That’s it. That’s all we need to know.

    The “inflation rate” is a statistical artifact. It averages the changing prices of *some* goods and services to produce a single number, when in reality some prices go up, some go down, and some stay the same.

    If inflation were an effect of “more dollars chasing the same number of goods and services,* it would not be differential.

    That’s it.

  5. Note that this is CPI all-item adjusted, so roughly constant purchasing power for everyday items like food or bicycles or air conditioners. In case you hadn't noticed, everyday people don't have twice the purchasing power of food or bicycles they had in 1995. This money went to drive up stock prices and housing prices and college tuition and healthcare costs. rich people picking your pocket by buying control of the country with cash created out of nothing by banks. #mmt #economics #moneysupply

  6. The Federal Reserve is an institution that regulates fiat currency, cash and interest rates.

    Cryptocurrency is decentralized and involves robots winning prizes for math games.

    Who do you trust to control the #MoneySupply?

    The problem is the #moneySupply and has been for **so long** that we cannot see it. Even during #Einstein's time, "democratically organised political society"? What a laughable thought.

    A "Sir" #MontaguNorman governed the #BankOfEngland and gave #Germany extreme funding, "it may never be repaid but it will be less of a loss than the fall of #Nazism".

    Fascism is govt and big business coming together; its as bad as ever today.

    We should add a rather large caveat to what we wrote above.

    In today's #neocolonial system, where the #moneySupply is the means of #extraction from the worker (plunder) it is almost impossible to achieve the above stated work environment.

    The #corporatist system that allows #moneyPrinting to protect politically connected corporations that are #tooBigToExist, means that the vast majority of #smallHolders are made made extinct.

  10. CW: Long thread/3

    This orthodoxy comes to us from #MiltonFriedman, the father of #neoliberal #economics, who believed that every economic problem was down to a mismanagement of the #MoneySupply. As economist Robert Solow quipped: "Everything reminds Milton of the money supply. Well, everything reminds me of sex, but I keep it out of the paper."

  11. "I trust the #Australian #government to protect me from #scams."

    You know that;
    - #Medibank still goes through #Amazon?,
    - Australia's federal police (afp.gov.au) goes through #CloudFlare?,
    - according to govt, "#FacebookReFriendedAustralia" by openly #bribing our media?,
    - Social services (humanservices.gov.au) goes through #Akamai?
    - Govt multiplied the #moneySupply by approx six times during #covid, mostly benefitting the most wealthy?

    Lol

    If GNUTaler is built on #fiat we're pleased we only namedropped it in a caveat, "some are suggesting Duniter and #Taler but we've not researched those."

    Fiat is latin for "let it (their #corruption and abuse of power) be so".

    Someone said above "money is power". Only partly right, control over #moneySupply is #power, and we've seen during the past two years how #kleptocrats manipulate supply for self-gain and to hurt non-hedonist #savers.
