According to Northwestern Mutual’s recent 2022 Planning & Progress study Americans now have an average of $9,000 less in savings than they did last year.

Joe Biden today: Since I took office Americans are saving more this year than they ever have.

Fuckn lies lol thats all there is.

all the money thrown at BLM didnt just "disappear" it went to dark money super pacs because they knew they would need extra gas money to truck all the fraudulent ballots around
I dunno about the super pacs, but a huge chunk of millions went into homes for BLM’s management, which was for their family only and not the general black population. There’s been many news stories about it

Organization is corrupt, but we could have guessed that

What would stop inflation faster?

Raising interest rates?

Sending our boys and girls to war?

Honestly. The only way to stop inflation would be to let states secede and create their own currencies. That's just a stop gap tho. Eventually they'll re-unionize or get gobbled up again by privatized internationals.

So a better balance would be struck by eliminating the economic and legal control on individual states and persons while reforming the Federation as solely a military body with only the mandate to protect the sovereignty and independence of the individual member states. And the controlling body itself would be made up of exactly equal representatives of the member states all meeting military standards and legal codes throughmerit and actual service in the field. So no buying your way in. Even that is prone to eventual corruption and would need to be refreshed from time to time.

Even that was a failed endeavor to unhook the value of currency from global commodity.

The only other alternatives would be a moneyless merit based society where people who where strong and abled and contribute more would be given more privileges than the basic humans which pretty much suck and are less useful than oxen and tractors.

One would argue that the most valuable humans either are super smart and good at controlling and oppressing other humans or they are extremely deadly assasins or maybe effective spies.

Perhaps incredible logisticians and strategists fall into the D tier.

The free market is really the best means of figuring out who these ppl are.

So I'm back with the how do you commoditize the *useless* ppl. We see that some with advertising, p2w gambling schemes, and Propoganda which is pretty much blended toghether as a means of control in modern society along with entrainment.

Hth.

BTW we almost had military fedration 2.0 butt we went ahead and gave the federal government really broad overriding powers early on. So we really screwed the pooch there.
