Elements I want to see addressed in all this econo-talk:
What effect does it have when 40% of the population is too brown to understand or intuit the intricacies of hyperinflation? What if the regime can propagandize them into acting as if it doesn’t exist no matter how much they suffer?
In what ways does the crypto industry alter the cycle? If you were running this system, how would you use your influence to wield crypto as a weapon and tool to your advantage?
@WashedOutGundamPilot even if people don't understand the mechanics of inflation, they'll understand starving to death. Just look at Zimbabwe. They kicked all the white people out, printed their country into bankruptcy, and are now starving to death.
Economics is an intelligence check for a civilization. If you don't pass, you die.
@Tfmonkey We aren’t JUST like them though, we’ve got legions of 98 IQ brown women w/ smartphones glued to their face. None of africa has had the same economy we do, where 4/5ths of the money floating around comes out of the hands of a woman.
How much of an effect can it have to subject them to a constant stream of “You may think inflation is soaring, but you’d me wrong. It’s ACTUALLY getting better!“ articles and algo-pumps? Women live in a fantasy world to begin with
THEY COULD PROBABLY USE THIS WOMAN MOMENT THING TO KEEP IT AT BAY A LITTLE BIT LONGER
BUT ULTIMATELY ITS THAT THING LIKE THE CHINESE STORY OF THE RICE GRAIN THAT DOUBLES EVERY DAY AND THE CHINAMAN IN THE STORY HAS HALF A BARN HALF FULL OF RICE SO HE GOES OUT AND BUYS SEVEN MORE BARNS AND THINKS WHEW NOW I GOT SEVEN TIMES AS MUCH TIME BEFORE I DROWN IN RICE
@nugger @WashedOutGundamPilot The government is currently fighting inflation with propaganda and bullshit, even in the face of falling supply and increasing demand.
I'm actually waiting for OPEC/BRICS/SCO to have enough of the West's shit and do something serious.
I'm just a speculator, so I have to put up with the government's bullshit, but OPEC+ is made up of over a dozen countries who's economies rely on commodities exports, and they're getting screwed by the price manipulation.
