    Yeah, great, I'm sure that'll be comforting for everyone who didn't vote for it, when they can't afford to buy the small amount of food that gets produced.

    Social media is full of idiots that think:

    Oil companies have some kind of loyalty to the US and that’s why (whatever marginally lower gas price where they live is the way it is despite it still being 30% higher than a year ago and they ignore their power bill) or they should “just lower prices.”

    Flock cams are simultaneously good for keeping an eye on the “usual suspects” while they also claim the corporations running them are beholden to the 4th amendment and cannot be used against the white person talking about it.

    Actually the bond market is showing signs that the US really cant afford to bail out much of anything.

    Oh yeah, because currency is just numbers on a computer right? Why bother with these pesky bonds and yield rates at all. Just fire anyone who says you can't spend your way out of bad headlines.

    Spare me the tech-bro finance.

    Yes the fed does set yield rates but there are grave consequences to unreasonable manipulations - it's the antithesis of the role of the central bank.

    “Tech-bro finance”?!

    Stephanie Kelton, a leading economist who teaches MMT, couldn’t be any further from tech bros.

    You just don’t understand money. 😄

    I believe in the consensus opinion of experts.

    I’m sure that’s much easier than figuring out what’s true and what isn’t.

    Most people, including myself, can acknowledge that we are not experts on everything, and therefore rely on the opinion of people who are experts in a given field.

    Figuring out "whats true and what isn't" requires you to be come an expert.

    They’re killing off all but the largest farmers to consolidate land under fewer people.

    And, yes, if you can make a living at farming you’re pretty wealthy.

    But this is land going from a million millionaires to a dozen billionaires and that’s not good.

    And they'll be bailed out and subsidized as always. Farmers are the richest poor people you'll ever meet.

    The billionaires are looking for farmlands lately. The farmers are just poor millionaires, they might not get a bailout if the billionaires can make a profit by buying cheap.

    This is two comment sections in a row where I've seen you use that word for no apparent reason. Give your yap a rest from the genocide talk.
