    Of course inflation is natural. Unless we are all gonna share the same $100 forever it has to happen at least without some sort of perfect foresight so the correct amount of money can be issued.

    What isn’t natural is somehow people are convinced they should be held hostage by business.

    When somehow we are convinced taking out a loan that you have to pay on for eternity (selling stock) that is not natural.

    When somehow limited resources (our time) has less value then an unlimited resource (money) that is not natural.





  • No, they just want someone who will appeal to the common person as maybe caring.

    I said it during his initial campaign run. A “business man” as leader of the country isn’t a horrible thing. Trump and many others are horrible picks for that role though. People will reject that because government isn’t supposed to be for profit but it really is. As taxpayers we just need to rethink what “profit” looks like to us. Universal healthcare, UBI, proper investment in the country, proper ma/pa ternity leave can easily be taxpayer funded and on and on. A good leader will stifle borrowing by the US and make some headway towards our enormous debt while still finding something that works for us as voters.



  • That is not true. If it’s pre 1898 it’s antique, beyond that it is classified as a destructive device and has a whole bunch of red tape. Anytime you see words $200 tax stamp it isn’t easy to get.

    And even a pre 1898 cannon is going to cost you $8k+ for a rusted out POS that will explode if you try to actually fire it.

    It’s everything from redpill misogynists to people who just support men’s rights and saying we should should direct resources to prevent male suicides is the exact same thing as saying women are property and deserve no rights or autonomy and there is no middle ground.

    It is important to understand what people are saying about this because when you hear someone say something that seems reasonable and correct but suddenly they show their extremist stance but then you dismiss that part because you don’t realize what they are saying.

    This is how all extremist groups get people on their side from Isis to Jordan Peterson to far right politics.
