But why would the investor class care about inflation? The Fed will respond by jacking up interest rates. They benefit from a higher principal in lending and a return on interest that’s sheltered from inflation. They’re making money hand over fist. It’s more wealth transfer from the economy into their bank accounts.

This also leaves out the ideological reality of the GOP’s funders. That coalition of negatives between pure corporatist and right wing libertarians. The latter seek ideological fulfillment by destroying the government by destroying the economy by destroying the dollar. The world they want is a shattered United States, where their monopolies become their private fiefdoms on its shattered remains. And they fantasize that cryptocurrency will liberate them from the tyranny of sovereign currencies because they’ve bought so many bitcoins.. not realizing that people can perfectly well create their own regional currency. Cheimgauer works.

This economy is not just rigged, it’s predatory. And I think many people will find with the economic chaos the billionaires the patrons of the GOP intend to inflict. The people are going to have to do what they did in the throes of the Great Depression, unions, churches, socialist and communist parties, banded together to provide basic services to keep people alive, like the Black Panther’s in their time where they created schools, fed children and educated them.

Economic growth is nothing more than a measure of economic concentration, and that economic concentration is a measure of energy intensity. In order to put an end to carbon emissions we have to from the national and the global economy, and that is going to be forced on this anyway because extreme weather is very good at destroying existing productive capacity, and that process is only intensify as a climate becomes warmer. . Eventually, it’s going to incapacitate any sizable supply chain because that kind of infrastructure cannot be designed for a future that is constantly changing.. yeah I know I understand that that’s perfectly fine yeah I understand. I understand you make those kinds of decisions. You think you’re a guy you’re a guy who thinks Trump is a comedic.
