@Oven_Operators_LU_88 The only possible explanation that isn’t horrible that I could accept for this type of statement is if it’s related to interest rates and the hopes that they go down. Even then, it’s foolish and awful in its own right.
@Xenophon@Oven_Operators_LU_88 If we had zero usury and money supply was just gold coins, we’d still see price fluctuation and ultimately some inflation. Velocity of money causes inflation, massively aided by banks, but still exists just from having a lot of people and moving parts. Add new people and wealth into the mix and it starts to expand the total coins in the mix. Not every area can expand at the same rate etc. it’s just that it’s not supposed to be some predictable nonsense level that’s constantly screwing over people who are too taxed and underpaid to build wealth.
@Xenophon@Oven_Operators_LU_88 But that’s true of every economy in history. Mild inflation is good because it means the economy is “growing”. Deflation almost always brings severe economic pain, and disproportionately on normal people (blue collar, working class). I don’t say that to defend the status quo but when I hear some w*gnats saying > :wojak_psycho: BURN IT DOWN BURN IT DOWN I can’t help but wonder what they expect to happen or arise from the ashes.
>Christ is a KIKE, actually This is peak irony considering the origin of the word “Kike” comes from jews hatred of and rejection of Christianity. >Philip Cowen, first editor of "The American Hebrew," suggests a source in Yiddish kikel "circle." According to him, Jewish immigrants, ignorant of writing with the Latin alphabet, signed their entry forms with a circle, eschewing the customary "X" as a sign of Christianity. On this theory, Ellis Island immigration inspectors began calling such people kikels, and the term shortened as it passed into general use. You can still see this today in their text books which use alternative symbols for plus and even multiplication.
Be cool with everyone that you can. That can mean just showing kindness like telling a girl she has a cool bike or something when you’re young, or sticking up for someone when they’re bullied. I’ve taught that one to my kids and it seems to go pretty far (I’ve heard stories from teachers or other parents). There’s nothing bad about being friendly to other people and it can help you with your self confidence when you see how your positivity brings other people up.
