Modern Monetary Theory: A Primer

One of my life stuff observations- When it comes to these half baked social schemes, the people who are the biggest cheerleaders do so because they think they will be the beneficiary of said scheme, and not the victim of it. And they are always 100% wrong.

Yeah because it’s worked so well here. Producing oligopolies and crooked politicians.

Yeah, like Capitalism.

So it’s good enough for the Governor of the Central Bank of Canada but not for you? You’d like a dissertation. Did you bother to watch the video that started this thread?

And I’ve distilled your garbage economic leanings. Anything for another buck. If profit can’t be made from it. It isn’t worth the time. Which explanation wrong and why?

And you do? Who says that debt demand is infinite?

Try the wars and corporate bailouts. It is used whenever it is convenient.

As usual, you made no sense whatsoever and you cannot answer the question

What doesn’t make sense and how was the question not answered?

Irrelevant to what you posted and I commented on. Stay on topic.

If you want to talk about the conjugate method, I am the godfather. I haven’t actually done it in years, but I said it. Head over to powerlifting and start a thread. Id be happy to comment with my expertise.

That’s not an honorable moniker. Id prefer the Canadian euthanasia minister chime in.

About 5 minutes.

Okay, so you just told on yourself. I guess you already know everything about MMT. Maybe you could tell a few things to me about it?

Ahhhhh… no. What he says explains why all those trillions of dollars can be spent on wars and bailouts w/o having a negative consequence. This is what he says and the evidence is all around. Expand your mind and thought process and open your eyes. jeeezzz…

You’re right. End of discussion.

I lump MMT proponents and flat-earthers in the same category:
They both like fantastical theories that sound great and give a dopamine hit but fall apart under the most basic examination of evidence.

Does he also explain where he finds someone gullible enough to believe that?

Why are there no hamsters in any of the videos? I’m disappointed.

Oh fuck I told myself I wouldn’t start posting here… fuck

EDIT:

Anyway, glad to see you are fine, @castoli711 .

And, look, I’ve become a lot more “liberal” during the past year after having to read lots of data but MMT is still not something I’m buying.

I’d be more inclined to have my opinions swayed with more grounded and specific topics such as how the government allocates expenditure on certain things such as healthcare and housing policies.

If I had more hours in the day, I could. Reading takes a fraction of the time. I simply don’t have hour-long blocks of time I can devote to stuff like this. It sounds like you have quite a bit of free time in your life, is that fair to say? Correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m the owner of a small metal fabrication company. I’m a single father, with my son at least 50% of the time. I’m a competitive strongman at a high level. And I have a girlfriend who is similarly busy and deserves my attention and time when we have time together. And these are just my base obligations.

I’m just not going to commit to podcasts, in general, without a truly compelling reason, particularly when the same information can be consumed and understood in a fraction of the time by reading it.
