[Jibartik]

The problem is ytou have raising taxes.

But like, that implies that they will come after small businesses owners and people trying to mind their own business with meager lives, like it does now.

And I want to raise them but raise them by like 50x anything anyone would rationally think raising taxes means. And I'd want to target politicians first, and then like, man do we go to town on the billionares they're going to be jumping from buildings left and right.

“A reduction in everyone to the same uniform level.” - not wealth distribution!!! Oh no!

Remove cap on immigrant visas for STEM doctoral graduates and create a new “start-up visa” for immigrant entrepreneurs. This proposal is in the COMPETES Act.

Fill unused past green card slots and allow spouses and children of green card holders to obtain one without counting against the 140,000 cap.

Allow and expedite the processing of more refugees from Ukraine.

Increase H1B and other work visas that could help in labor shortage sectors.

Use any existing executive authority to increase legal immigration limits.

Extend all work visas for an additional 12 months.

Allow spouses and children of those here on work visas to work.

Give certainty to DACA recipients by automatically reapproving their status.

Call for comprehensive immigration reform.

Cheap money = inflation

[magnetaress]

Economic reset, wipe it clean. Start from scratch. Also confiscate all military and police power. And delete the alphabetti sphaghetti agencies (executively of course).


actually none of that is correct ... wont work ... unfeasable... a very temporary solution (won't last longer than a decade or two) ... will have a huge cost in population

so a combination of rationing + wage controls + limits on property ownership and just make the state even bigger (this is inevitable anyway) --- so pretty much the opposite of my original impulse. Everyone joins the military and wages very limited.

also could change currencie but the current powerful ppl can't have more initial buying power, tho they do because they already own all the factories...

i'm not really a communist :( just a pragmatist and this is a disaster of a situation because I see no means or way out of it except via force (wastefull anyway (only kills the best of us or traumatizes ppl)) and all paths lead to a temporary 'solution'. like u could redistribute wealth by force, butt it's not going to last more than... like 15 years tops. ish ... i mean we are definitely not an honest enough people to make it 20 years... we are so corrupt and bad and dishonest we don't deserve wealth redistribution. We can't govern ourselves let alone our neighboors and people like musk will quickly rise to the top again anyway. It's all pointless. Just take the breaks off plz.

I do think we could build a really fast spaceship tho, maybe with slave labor also. The more I think about it global communism is more in favor of the ppl with all the power/money already if they find a way to peacefully transition there. Their families are already in positions of power so can easily keep those positions. For individual stats and cities and families to gain soveriengty and freedom from government oversite of big governments would be an absolute threat to this system. So no making and selling cupcakes unless you have an international licence. (sourcasms, butt also for reals, aka its not what I want it is what it is)

I would engineer a huge bailout system for banks, large businesses, and myself and my cronies while printing massive amounts of money, something like 70% of ever dollar ever printed within a few years.

I would then cash out of this system with my wealthy family and friends in large isolated, gated, security patrolled communities. Generally spending 80% of the year travelling all over and doing what rich people do.

Oh, you meant what I would do? oh.... probably pick up every penny I saw on the street and put it in my piggy bank :)

[MrSparkle001]

Out of all four options raising interest rates is the most reasonable, and it comes with a bonus: Later on during the recession it causes they can/will lower interest rates and kickstart the markets again.

The problem with simply printing money is it doesn't inherently add value to an economy.

You end up with more dollars, but the same value, so there is less value per dollar.

As such, it stands to reason that it is possible to actually reduce inflation by printing dollars - the trick is to spend those printed dollars on things that actually add more value to the economy than existing dollars are worth.

This can be achieved by investing in primary and preventative healthcare - primary and preventative healthcare have huge returns on the invested dollar as they prevent and catch serious health issues before they occur, thereby extending the health (working) life of the population and reducing need for expensive interventions later on.

Likewise, sanitation such as effective sewers, waste management and clean water supply are effective investments, as are affordable housing provision in areas of industry and transport infrastructure which allows work to be attended to with minimum delays, or for citizens to relocate to areas where work is available.

Just imo, I have absolutely no experience or qualifications so am completely ignorant :D

In game I would add more expendable items with increase desirability. Easily accessible Haste potions, more effective bandages, cure potions and so on. Slow clicks, etc.

Even a broken clock is right twice per day. That is actually the correct answer this time.

To be clear, the question is not about who you should vote for. The question is about the singular issue of "solving inflation".

You should still vote for the person who is less woke/maga. Good luck with that nowadays.

[Reiwa]

Fine, you guys can expand voting if you want to. I don't know how to edit the poll though.

JimJams idea sounds interesting, are you saying to just pay for all goverment programs with printed money?

And to jsut build build build?

I wonder if that would just be like printing money but we'd have nice roads?

Put all that bad inflation into a hot air balloon, then send it on over to China to mix with their inflation after you bust the balloon. It’s science.

[magnetaress]

I wish but then u just get megaproject syndrome.

We are back to rationing.

[Jibartik]

Yeah.

Best way to stop inflation is to observe that we live ina consumer driven appcoalypse and that life in the first world is just as shitty as life in the 3rd and nintendo's and microwaves dont make up for it.

Abandon the exchange of goods for currency full stop.

Well the crux is the programs need to add value - which really is the tricky bit. Wasting money, time and resources on building a road to nowhere would be even worse than simply printing money, right?

And I guess that really is the tricky part governments face (assuming they aren’t just cronies spending laundering funds through their friends which lets face it - they probably are).

I think the government should print a shit load of money and build a space program anyone can join and like the governments only job is to just dump money into the world through this space program and letting trickle down space program employees pay for everything else.

I don’t understand how to stop that snowball rolling downhill but trying to reduce spending has to be the way. I’ve heard they are raising not only wages, but also social security AND pension payments to cover the increased cost of living…which makes sense, people gotta be able to afford to eat

But that’s all adding to the inflation too

[Basanos]

Anyone who wants to reduce spending but isn't willing to consider cutting military funding isn't serious about reducing spending

Sounds good and works for immediate relief, but without also paying more into social security it's not sustainable.

You don't solve inflation. Inflation benefits people who sell their labor to survive, which is the vast majority of Americans, and labor has been getting fucked over by corporations and oligarchs for the last 40 years.

It's basically a soft reset. So keep it from spiraling out of control but don't purposefully cause a motherfucking recession in order to stop it. Most of this inflation is coming from corporate price-gouging anyway. Let it burn.

And while we're at it, it's time for federal Real ID for all employment so corporations can't keep importing millions of illegals to devalue labor. You know, the actual immigration fix for people who actually want to fix illegal immigration, not a retarded ineffective fucking wall. Coupled with the imminent demographic labor crunch, overnight you'd see millions more Americans being paid a living wage.

Pretty much any country participating? I am specifically using the united States because the over spending policy that exploded in the 2000's and has not stopped is finally catching up in a bad way.

The only reason we have not completely tanked is the confidence of the US dollar is still higher than every other country spending too much. We are just doing it less worse than others.
