Mind blowing — saying all the quiet parts out loud now
But if you inflate away your debt, then who’s gonna buy the bonds😂
THE PLAYBOOK IS MANDIBLES
Cut public workforce 75 % . You need Vivek Ramaswamy !
He’s talking his book. They all do.
Either way, it’s good for BTC.
Stop paying for every local pet project deemed good for everyone by businessmen for their express benefit. Tax no one.
Actually important things will happen anyway. The most impoverished will benefit most and the richest will pay the most.
The right says this is the way they can’t make it happen because they really don’t want it.
It is what the left extremists want anyway why are they fighting so hard… oh wait it is what they *say* they want not what they really want.
Who are "we?" I don't owe this debt, do you?
To stabilize debt to GDP. These people live in a 🤡🌎
Simple answer;
Exchange Pure Human Empathy Globally by Immutable Truth.
#Bitcoin not bullshit.
I have a multimillionaire fat boomer fren who gets off on having medicare cover his weekly doctor visits and that he even gets "sossa securty"
Me? Working homeless, raise my taxes, neat.
"...Fed to offset..." is all I needed to hear.
Keep stacking and stay humble. 🫡
We’re Long bitcoin
We’re Long gold
Should we add a commodity?
STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS
Yeap
ALL I SEE IS FIAT MIND ROT. FUCK THESE PPL AND THEIR SYSTEMS
I still haven’t gotten used to normie talking heads offering bitcoin as a solution on network television
pretty much.
Good luck with that. Fiatnam ngmi
🎯 MANDIBLES THEN BITCOIN STANDARD.
I will forever be proud of the fact that I shilled you the mandibles lol 😂
A PODCAST RIP THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY.
lol that’s right — first time I heard of it was on that rip with you two!
It’s so f’n obvious yet the masses are gonna be train wrecked….
And yet everyone out there continues to scream that #China needs to unleash a fiscal "bazooka".
The Chinese are the first to have learned that debt fueled growth isn't the answer. And yet, watching the world's second largest economy attempt to fundamentally shift its economic model in real time is fascinating. It is also not for certain that this process will succeed.
This is also your daily reminder that regardless of what it is you read, thus far all China has done is stimulate via monetary policy. There has been zero focus on the fiscal front. And there won't be.
I will not lie. It does please me to watch global economists continue to gnash teeth over how China refuses to listen to their collective "advice".
See a pike of pebbles on the sidewalk
@ODELL Mandibles
SIX YEARS LATER MARTY STILL REFUSES TO READ IT 😂😂😂
The Mandibles is a lazy man’s Atlas Shrugged.
GUESS WE’LL HAVE TO MAKE A MOVIE FOR MARTY 🍿
It’s impressive ngl
This is a very simplistic way to make the comparison here in #China. What it is I would say for now is that Total Social Financing (TSF) includes bank loans to corporate entities and households. So, this doesn't make an apples-to-apples comparison to the US or elsewhere in terms of relatively to GDP.
Think of it this way. Very little in the way of lending in China is done via capital markets (ie the bond market). You would need, again for simplicity, to include in the US data all debt issued by all companies and all households (including mortgages) to get to a number that would be comparable to China's TSF.
But don't get me wrong. China has an overleverage issue and addressing this issue has been priority #1 of the government over the past three years.
Oh for fucks sake ...... this article was written by Michael Pettis.
He has been so colossally wrong on his #China predictions for the better part of 20 years.
In fact, he infamously wrote a (at the time) well received op-ed in the Financial Times back in 2009 claiming that China's growth prospects were over. Moreover, the points he made in that piece are the very exact same arguments he is making in this Carnegie article.
Normies don’t want to hear it. He kept saying “you want” to Paul and Paul pulled a Foss and said “it’s just math”.
I need to read this!
Is it on par with Atlas Shrugged!?
I’m just going to stay humble and stack sats about it
Setup zaps and I'll send you some stats to buy a better tent.
Straight from the horse's mouth!
Read and enjoyed all 3 Nexus books on your recommendation. Then read Mandibles and was left confused...
Mandibles, the horror story about fire ants by Jeff Strand != The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver
"50% of our tax receipts go to transfer payments" ($ given out by the gov't with no expectations of return)👀 Increasing taxes will not decrease spending.
weird he isn't running for president
This guy is a total loser! F the Fed.
I wonder if the guests on cnbc hate being interviewed by this impatient interrupting headline-whoring loser douche pile as much as I hate listening to him
He actually said inflating your way out is how “all other civilizations did it.” Yeah, they tried and it collapsed anyway. And he admitted that you’re still increasing the debt, he knows you’re hosed. He knows you have to cut SS, Medicare, and defense, plus reduce the federal government size and spending, just to stay even (but then they all get tossed out of office and replaced with people that lie to you and tell you they can fix it) then print and debase the currency to pay for the debt you have already incurred. But the new people restore the benefits because that’s why they were newly elected. When we use a currency they can’t inflate, and can’t pay for benefits and war through debt, the new people can’t restore the old system. The US also loses its place as the world policeman and then what? Hopefully, my friends in the Service will stop getting killed in wars that don’t protect us, and we spend our fewer resources at home on our own citizens. Rant over.
Exposure to uranium?
THIS. At least I can zap you. 😂
A lot of money to be made in bitcoin derivatives right now specifically.
🧡👊🏻🍻
Not super comparable.
Easy read or listen.
Its just a family, The Mandibles. Follows them in a post US economic collapse. Not necessarily what will happen but a plausible outcome.
🧡👊🏻🍻
Maybe 🤔
Awesome thanks!
Altlas shrugged is like 1500 pages lol. I listened to the audio book on tape many years ago and it was great buuuut was like 15hours long
i barely managed 200 pages, if that, and decided it was boring af
The ideas are extremely important but the cliffs notes are an alternative
🧡🍻👊🏻
yeah, i just think it's something for a quieter time
i tried to read lovecraft and also found it extremely tedious
i did start reading Fountainhead, i think it was, that was easier going
one thing i will say, is that part of what makes her so important but also so hard to read is that it's too much like reality, like, even though we fight, it seems so much like we are only winning the small things and the big things keep getting bigger, darker and uglier
60 hours I think
Was it that long? It was 35 years ago.
On Cassets lol
63 hours, according to google, to be more exact 😆
yeah, i didn't think 15 hours was nearly enough... that's gonna just be enough for like The Hobbit or Long Dark Teatime of the Soul
I have to admit that it changed my life.
Some of the monologues are tough to get through for sure.
And yes it’s a tome.
I think it’s over 60 hours on audio 😂
