    So hexfriends, do we think that Biden is going to choose a narrative of a market crash caused by interest rate hikes, or accelerating inflation going into the midterms? :biden-troll:

        I could be wrong but I've always figured the reason we spend so much money is because keeping the world in check is what keeps us as the top superpower and thus why everyone trades for oil in dollars and thus why it's profitable. Like a simple spend money to make money situation but with more money laundering and pallets of cash that go unaccounted for.

          A big part of it is also that the US is ludicrously corrupt and arms companies lobby. America buys tanks that end up being stored in fields and never used plus if the world police thing was the whole story then the fact that America has fucked up every military operation since ww2 would actually matter

        I bought avacado's for breakfast and they were five fucking dollars. a piece. I guess no more avacados for maybe ever. Meanwhile Australia is dumping them by the ton to keep prices up /steinbeck quote.

        I love how they act like the stimulus money wasn't immediately recouped by the rentier class the second those checks went out the door.

          Those stimulus checks were the biggest handouts to Amazon, Uber eats and landlords, and they have the nerve to blame poor people finally getting a leg up for what, a month?
