    I used to watch reaction channels a lot, and yeah 99% turned out to be either radlibs or straight up chuds…

    But I still watch and enjoy Drew Gooden. He’s just funny, and seems to not be completely brainwormed. Correct me if I’m wrong tho lol













  • As I said, the initial inflation was caused by supply chains shock. Many countries had lockdowns. Like China, who produces the majority of everything anyone purchases around the world. Then when the lockdowns ended there was a shortage of shipping containers.

    Inflation is caused when money is printed and sits in financialized investment. If it’s used to increase productivity it causes the opposite.

    China has been running massive deficits (printing money like crazy) for over a decade and they have very consistent and low inflation.


  • It’s just that this argument, based on things that are not facts since the 70s, is used to cut social programs, investment in education, infrastructure etc.

    When it makes no sense. The gvmt is not gonna go broke from paying its programs. It prints its own money, and all its debt is denominated in dollars.

    We SHOULD cut military spending, subsidies to harmful industries, to private prisons, police forces etc. The way the money is spent SHOULD reflect the will of the people more.

    But this argument about “revenue” and “public debt” are literally from the mouths of establishment neoliberal ghouls who have no objective other than enriching their friends. It’s not reality and is only used for harm.



  • How is it wrong if it’s factually what happens now? People have a “common sense” understanding of how the government works, and THAT is wrong.

    Ever since fiat became the norm, all governments all over the world that print their own money and have debts denominated in their own currency simply print money to spend, for their budget. That is a FACT.

    Only countries that have the majority of their debt denominated in another currency (the dollar mainly) that face inflation when printing money.

    The US and Europe printed trillions during covid, and that barely caused a blip in inflation. Inflation only came after supply chains shock and the war.

    Like do some basic research, if I’m so obviously wrong it will be very easy to see…:

    Why do people think the federal budget comes from taxes?

    The government prints money, pays for its budget, and THEN it taxes. It can’t wait for tax dollars to pay for the budget. Taxing is to make the dollar necessary and force its flow back to the government.

    They mostly “burn” all your tax dollars…

    Like the gvmt is not a company. It doesn’t have “obligations” and “revenue”. It fucking PRINTS the money. If any company could print money, they would stop giving a fuck about revenue instantly.

    If you don’t love fashion, don’t try to “keep up with trends”.

    Think of it this way. Fashion can be a hobby. You can spend hours every week researching, studying, searching for clothes. You can participate in message boards or discord groups for it. You can travel just for it.

    Like photography. Like working out. Like gardening.

    You can still like to take some pictures, and want them to be nice, without making photography your hobby. Same with going to the gym, or keeping some plants in your apartment.

    So if fashion is not the hobby for you, don’t worry about it too much. Just learn what is good for you. Don’t care about the trends.

    You can dress in any style nowadays tbh.

    Just be mindful of getting a good fit on your clothes. Make sure the length of the pants is right, they fit well around the waist etc.

    Maybe find a couple of ppl on social media you like the way they dress, and just passively absorb their content while scrolling.

    Then go shopping from time to time, when you feel the need for a piece of clothing. Like maybe you need new pants, maybe you need new shoes.

    You’ll have an idea of what kind of stuff you like, how you’d like to have your clothes fit etc.

    But yeah, you don’t have to make fashion a hobby if you don’t want to. Trends are for kids and fashion autists.
