@TrevorGoodchild @PraxisOfEvil @deprecated_ii Keep in mind also that there are guys freaking out who are nominally "our guys" who, despite their rhetoric, like the old system because they know how to play it, which makes them feel smart/superior

Remember that the reason the casino is relevant in the first place is that it was the only consistent way to beat inflation. Used to be people could just put money in the bank, or bonds, vs. gambling, but the people who own the casino put that monetary policy in place to grab that fucking money. If you have to play the game to not lose every year, you're also beholden to the casino to set policy

"Burn it to the fucking ground and replace it with something good for our people," except I actually mean it
