I know this may come as a shock to you, but usually things are more complex than ______(insert a single thing).
Lol, what?
Your inability to follow a conversation has always been truly remarkable.

The Ukraine seems to be really enjoying “American imperialism” right now.

Inflation is mainly caused by lack of production. During the pandemic many supply lines were non-operational. And since many of the things this country used to produced has been shipped overseas, it made matters worse.
But I don’t hear about the lack of production caused by supply chain issues. I just hear about “printing money”
Here’s your problem in one sentence. “Mainly”. Inflation can be a supply side issue, but it’s not the main or only cause of inflation. You’d know that if you actually read a book as opposed to just regurgitating The Real News.

No you don’t believe the earth is flat (i.e. you believe it round)?
The answer to the second question tells me everything i need to know about your understanding of the world. There is literally a reflector put on the moon you can hit with a signal and catch the reflection back (the time which matches the exact distance to the moon).
And like most, you don’t understand rocket science (it’s really not hard to get a rocket to the moon once you reach escape velocity). This is literally my career field. Please try and tell me I am wrong here.
Clearly google has tailored it’s responses to you to what you have searched in the past. It’s the reason everyone is so politically polarized - the algorithm literally forced you down this path you believe and you can’t even comprehend that it might be influencing the way you think.
You truly are riding the top of Mt. Stupid on the Duning-Krueger curve.
You know nothing of my ability to think, but your answer to the rocket question tells me everything i need to know about yours.

Yes and I’m sure they were really enjoying it in 2014 when the U.S. was behind a coup there. Just another regime-change war that is working out so well. With the over 100 billion sent to Ukraine. One wonders where that money came from? Did they raise taxes to pay for it or sell bonds? No. They used the principles of MMT.
Because you read your own little algorithm generated bubble of the internet.
Try a book or two. Maybe even two with opposing views if you can get past your supposedly vastly superior economic dogma.
Again, right back atcha"
How many books do read a year? I am in excess of 50.
It’s just the view you have chosen on MMT does not hold up to the other views based on my reading (and apparently almost every other major economist out there excepting the few in your MMT school of thought).
From above:
You don’t even know how to think…
You’re an amazing individual, never change.

The truth is what influences me the most. Not the mainstream lies like you.
What answer to the rocket question?
You don’t even understand the algorithms that run your searches then. Your “truth” is not the “truth”.
That we didn’t go to the moon. You claimed there is no proof of this…
And like all newer thoughts they are first rejected by the masses.
The truth is not governed by algorithms but by the thoughts and ideas themselves.
If I said this then I read your post wrong. As we have gone to the moon.
The algorithms feed you information that plays directly to your innate confirmation bias (everyone has confirmation bias). Therefore there appears to be more “evidence” for what you want to see as the truth. Don’t worry, your not unique falling for this trap - everyone does at some point.
It’s a relief you at least know this.
So are the principles of MMT true or not?
As a whole, I think that the theory doesn’t hold much water. You think that it does. We are at odds and clearly neither one of us is going to convince the other.
There are true aspects to almost every school of thought on any topic. It would be disingenuous to dismiss the whole thing (just like you can’t dismiss that issuing money is indeed a factor [one of many] in driving inflation).
Modern Monetary Policy = “You will own nothing and you will be happy” I think this has been tried before, hmm let me think, oh the Soviet Union.
But don’t worry, I am sure you would do communism “the right way”, not like the other 100 dictators who attempted the same thing only to fail miserably and be skinned alive by the public (see Romania).
Inhaling worthless propaganda is hardly educational. Modern Monetary “theory” is make the poor poorer. Make the middle class non-existent, let the oligarchs and smart people deal responsibly with your money because they are not at all in some loony cult that makes the branch Davidians look completely sane by comparison.
And if you consider Marx modern, then sure, it’s modern.
I watched a little bit, the stupidity was too much to swallow.
Educate yourselves? Like we don’t know what Modern Monetary policy is? It’s thinly cloaked neo-marxism. It’s the, “If we were in charge, then the communism we bring would work, this time” as long as they are in charge.
Lefty cultist are so funny and predictable, it’s sad. Gee, I wonder if I could predict the comeback. Something about Trump and alt-right horse shit I am sure.
I heard someone say this and I love the title. These guys are the “Branch Covidians”.
Facts, logic and reality do not matter, so long as they feel good about it.
The difference between the Left and anybody center to right is, a Leftist sees a problem and says, “This is terrible, somebody (not me) needs to do something about it.” The Center to Right says, “This is terrible WE need to do something about it.”
If you lefties want to convince the rest of us, lead by example. Do the shit you want to inflict on other people first and lead by example. If you think taxes should be higher pay more taxes. You want to go green, live green and don’t whine about excuses as to why you cannot, because the rest of us think your full of shit.

W/O a concurrent increase in production it is. Just keep the production up and “printing money” will NOT be an issue.
This “theory” said that government debt IS NOT what people(mainstream economists included)say it is and MMT has been proven right. Mainstream economists had egg on their face. Did they admit they had been wrong for decades about this? No, they just moved onto inflation. Yes, I know being right for decades, while the opposition has been wrong for decades, doesn’t prove the entire work of MMT but that IS NOT all they have.
This is a farce. The rest of the world combined would have a hard time standing up to US Imperialism. We are also one of the largest buyers of good and services worldwide. The US and dollar isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
The countries doing more things right by your estimation are having worse outcomes overall, care to explain that?
