« Last post by tp4tissue on Sat, 12 September 2026, 22:35:42 »Then, you may ask, Hai EconoP4, you keep saying we don't make money, then how does any economy grow.
Good question, the Economy GROWS, when Energy-Access expands.
For the last 200 years or so, the growth is entirely real, Energy went up.
But that's not happening now. the "Real" economy is deeply contracting, energy is sharply down.
We're papering over it, literally, by printing more paper "To represent" the "Same diminishing amount of Energy". HENCE rapid-inflation.

Technically, we're not a true democracy, we're a republic, so BRIBES are more/less perfectly ok, buying rounds of drinks, it's the same thing. This again, unimportant, since all this stuff is just ink on paper, as meaningless as money, also pieces of paper.
The BIGGER PROBLEM is that if you just print 1 trillion dolhrs, the inflation only gets worse, and it's at the point of comical, where anyone who may have considered buying treasuries is like, Oh hell no, I'mma get some that Panda Bonds instead.
These buyers are the most important thing to 'murikn finance, because 'murika's MAIN export is not N****ia gpus, it's $Dolhr DEBT.
Because people don't understand how money works, they think they're getting $5000.
They can print this money, and they will probably actually give it to you.
You might be able to buy A big 100 inch TV today, BUT, everything else AFTER today, from soda to cars, will cost WAY MORE, such that over time, You LOSE more than that upfront $5000.
This is a mathematical certainty.

fun to dream of who we might discover ourselves be under that big-open-sky
that's a hard-dedicate. I don't have the balls to do that ****.
You gotta have nothing to lose, or infinite lives
