You’re absolutely right. It would have to be intentional, planned inflation, where the populace decided to scale down the value of all existing currency while providing everyone enough additional currency to exactly maintain their original financial worth.
So only viable in micronations where the populace of five got really high one night and had a profound idea they thought would be totally fucking hilarious.
I think I know what you might be suggesting.
Instead of an extravagant lifestyle only for a small few as a result of their intercepting and concentrating the majority of the labor output, all people could live a similarly extravagant lifestyle if the system were to change entirely.
It would require a massive shift, including off-world resource acquisition and hugely increased energy generation as the amount of both required for every person alive to live in luxury vastly exceeds that which is available on earth, but it’s not impossible to complete without causing others to suffer. That’s just the easy route for the planet’s wealthy sociopaths.
I can only think of one: massive inflation à la 2008 Zimbabwe. They printed a 100 trillion dollar bill by the end of that one, so nearly everyone was a trillionaire.
Now they’re in an entirely new hyperinflation crisis, but it’s nowhere near the 89.7 sextillion percent year-on-year inflation rate they saw at the first’s peak.
Edit: fucking hell, they’re releasing yet another currency: the Zimbabwean ZiG. IYKYK
I dropped $250 on an HTC Apache in 2006 and thought I was quite fancy.
Cool story bro.
Yep, you’ve got it right.
It’s about 48% successful on average. Individual success rates vary based on age, reason for using IVF, health and age of the mother, and the number of retrievals.
For a moderately healthy person in their early thirties, one retrieval provides about a 48% success, and three retrievals a 67% success rate.
It just has to burn more fuel for each combustion cycle to keep the engine spinning at the same speed. It’s like how it’s easier to pedal a bike down an incline versus up the same incline, but your legs will still pedal at the same rate for the same speed (assuming you don’t change gears).
One can also purchase aerosol can extension poles for use with spray paint.
Cool story bro
You have my blessing.
I want utopian space communism, but I’m not going to hold out for only that ideal when I can support alternatives that are better than the current system.
“What someone said makes me uncomfortable because it challenges my government indoctrination. I have neither the self-awareness to recognize this nor the vocabulary to articulate it if I did, so I’ll just call them stupid instead.”
Classic American response.
The Democratic party largely runs on a platform based more on counteracting the Republican party less than substantially improving anything. Despite claiming to be progressive, they have slowly shifted to the right over decades, and manage to bungle easy wins again and again.
Remember that if you criticize the Democratic party and don’t ‘vote blue no matter who,’ you’re a Russian operative undermining the US election process. It’s not that you have a fully functional brain and see both sides are actually all on one side. Russian operative. Only option.
/s, fucking Americans
I think they’re not considering how the portion of rent that only goes toward the mortgage is still profit despite it not being accessible until the home is sold or a loan taken against its equity.
Now you’re just being stupid. As much as I disagree with all the libs lambasting you here, you’re just an ostensibly more progressive version of daft.
For what it’s worth, much of the rest of the world agrees with you. What you’re saying is quite obvious outside the influence of 24/7 US propaganda. I lived in the US for nearly a decade and was astounded by the fervent support for the Democrats despite their steady march to the right and betrayal of their constituents in the name of bipartisanship.
Your two parties employ the good cop/bad cop routine on a national scale. Should you opt for the good cop over the bad? Absolutely, because anyone who refuses to engage in damage control is an idiot, but you mustn’t forget they’re both cops and on the same team. The good cop is only being helpful because they want something, so they’ll do as much as they need to get it and will ultimately side with the bad cop over you to please their bosses: American oligarchs.
Be smart with your vote and choose the good cop, but don’t stop there. Work to kick both cops the fuck out, end your police state, and wrest control of the country from the oligarchs orchestrating the entire farce.
They’re making a joke by using a logical fallacy known as a false premise.
Gross. Fuck off back to Reddit, ay?
