What about those that want more than they need? Like the greed for money translates to your purchasing power and how much you can get of what you want.

So say someone works overtime, gets more money and can buy more things.

In a world where there's no money, how does that individual get more of what they want?

They actually don't know, but mathematically in order for them to build it within the historical time constraints, it had to have been done one block per minute.

Which some say is impossible with the technology they had, sparking conversation that there's more to the history of the pyramids than we think.

Don't forget, it's not like he has a right to the presidency. The president is voted in. So technically speaking the people decide if the felonies make a difference or not

Not all your data should be public

Well even if it was a legal argument, they wouldn't care. Like Facebook and all the rest. They say they don't share your data but we all know that's a lie

Through consent. The guy probably either has terminal illness and is happy to contribute to research or is completely paralysed, that an operation like this could benefit both parties.

It's an agreement and I'm sure the risks are expressed to the individual.

I find the Austrian School of Economics really interesting.

Particularly books written by American economist Murray Rothbard, who talks about free markets, government (particularly government intervention) and inflation.

There's a very short book you can read called "What has Government Done to Our Money?”

It's been a farse well before 2008. That's why it crashed. The fact that they decided to do QE was what made it worse. You had multiple QE programs after that, then you had lockdowns which not only injected more but stopped production. So now you have less goods and more money supply.

You have a debt crisis. Most businesses and corporations are swimming in debt. That money is paid to someone, investments, projects, jobs... Which eventually finds its way into the economy.

You have a housing problem. Your house prices have ballooned higher than 2008. You can't say that's corporation greed. That's simply the debt fuelled economy which leads to a devalued dollar.

And to your point, America didn't collectively agree, the government fucked it's people and will fuck them again purely because people just didn't know. That's why it's so important to know where to direct your anger. Corporations? Yeah fuck them but there's a root to all the problems. And that's monetary policy.

When you have cheap money (low interest rates), fractional reserve banking, and a government borrowing trillions of dollars, you inflate the amount of currency units being injected into the system. The more currency you have chasing the same amount of goods, the higher prices go.

There's definitely an element of greed as they will take advantage in certain areas but the underlying issue of inflation is those that I mentioned above.

Oh you're right yes, I wasn't converting it back to gallons!

Doesn't seem to be saving despite turning it off and hitting save. I get a toast which says submitting and saving. But when I go back to the setting it's enabled again.

Also to add, the setting stays turned off until I open up a post. Then when I go back the setting is turned back on.

Thanks
