  • Inflation is cool & good in and of itself. It's a super useful tool, and during times of recession or not spending or whatever it's good that the collective can print money and prime the pump. The problem isn't that more money is being printed, the problem is where that money is going.

    Think of the difference between:

    Recession hits, nobody is spending money - gov prints 10% of the money supply and uses it to build a vast high speed rail network to the benefit of all. Like a million people get busy, and those people all spend their $$ Yada Yada Yada.

    Vs

    Recession hits, nobody is spending money - gov prints 10% of the money supply and gives it to ?? already rich people ??? so their investments don't go tits up??

    The printing of the money isn't inherently bad, it's what gets done with it that makes it bad















  • Yep, it's truly painful to see. The sinophobia was what really started me on it, I had the same experience - small niche subs where people just couldn't post anything without somehow sliding in some racist China shit. It's everywhere. Apparently America is just a racist ass culture with the sights swinging around wildly, it's hard to even keep up with who the new target of racist hatred is any given week.

    Be nice if we could just lock that hate in on the bougies, then we might get somewhere.


  • Same, it's really been a massive eye opener for me - can't even open it anymore.

    To be fair I've basically only been perusing it out of habit for the past year or so. Really happy to have Hexbear to replace it for my 15 minutes of scrolling a day
