Here we go again with mother fucking Freemo. It's amazing how condecending you can be. Fuck off dude. You think there is only one "basic economic theory"?
@freemo@niclas That's a silly thing to say. Grain fed cows pumped with horomone are not producing "safer and higher quality" dairy products that's just retarded.
The great depression literally came less than a decade after the invention of the Federal Reserve :shrug:
I Don't care if currency is "fiat based". Technically monero is fiat based, but you can't just go print yourself more when you want to give it to your friends like the USG does with the USD.
@roboneko@niclas@freemo > The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.80% per year between 1919 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 1,674.86%.
no. no it can't. You pointed at butter and I pointed out is almost certainly of lower quality. Comparing purchase of a lower quality product with a higher quality one is not a fair comparison. Look at housing. Not only are the houses built today of much lower quality, they cost significantly more than they used to.
Anyway like I said I wasn't really looking for a debate. It was a shit post. If you love the federal reserve love them with all your heart.
@freemo@niclas you are high sir, we haven't talked about "the ecomony" a day or two ago. Also it doesn't really matter where the beginning of arc is, the point is that money today is not able to buy the same things it could before. I'm not really looking for a debate tbh it was primarily a shit post to begin with. I also don't really care about the butter example because the butter you are referring to is probably subsidized and the cows are grain fed so it's going to lead to more inflamation. The old butter that cost more of your time was healthier for you. To buy that same butter you will pay a higher price. I'd have to check what my butter costs but I am certain it's more than the stuff you get at walmart.
As far as work place deaths go, that tends to happen when you ship all your manufacturing jobs out of the country.
@Soy_Magnus the fact that they don't know why is weird. Like I know why they can't eat apple seeds. Grapes is mystery. Now that I think of it I wonder if seeded or seedless plays a role. Either way I just stay away.
@Soy_Magnus maybe I have never felt inclined to experiment. It could also be the species of grape or where they're grown I don't know but I figure it's not a huge loss to them to avoid.
I am a guy that does things. I used to run charlestown (dot) social along with a handful of other fedi sites (I've run peertube, pixelfed, mastodon, pleroma, and a few others) but I couldn't really get local adoption to pick up and the server costs were starting to run away so I downsized and Moon invited me over here while I regroup.> You are a manipulative liar and I have seen enough from you to have figured this out at this point. - Jeff Cliff
