Potato man in a rut. I have the face of a potato. I'm also in a rut, but that's a good thing. I love ruts.

Daniel supposedly has a PhD in economics😂
MMT tells you a monetarily sovereign nation can issue all the currency/debt it wants and nothing will happen, claiming that currency and market volatility can easily be eliminated by cancelling the capital account.
This nonsense can only be promoted by someone that does not understand that the currency collapse and creditworthiness slump are driven by domestic citizens and savers rejecting the local currency; it is not an evil conspiracy of foreign investors.
Furthermore, no nation is monetarily sovereign. It always depends on demand. Try to force use or restrict flow, and the currency is worth nothing.
And local citizens are the first to reject an increasingly worthless currency issued by an irresponsible government.
You are welcome

NEW: The Greens have formally adopted a policy which equates Zionism with racism, a move that will dismay the bulk of the party’s MPs and that has alarmed some Jewish members.
A vote at the party’s annual conference in Brighton about whether to back a motion which calls for Zionism, the movement for a Jewish state, to be “treated as any other form of racism”, saw it passed by 1,022 votes to 813.
However, an amendment which said the motion should not be used to “pressure, proscribe or discipline members based on affiliation with Jewish community institutions” was voted down.

Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to him.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge you: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

There's a link I'll put in the comments. Its a link to a substack of a supposed victim of the trump/epstein ring. Sascha Riley claims he was abused by Trump, Epstein, Lindsey Graham, Andy Biggs, and Clarence Thomas. The alleged abuse happened when he was between 11 and 14 years old. Its all audio recording of his testimony and he goes into great detail. Sascha Riley went on to become an iraq war veteran.

"If we just do things that seem popular and pretty reasonable, our ideological enemies will ruthlessly destroy us, we need to do things that are obnoxious and unpopular instead" -- the credo of two political parties that keep losing their majorities for some reason.
I'm confused. Where did I say that tax isn't important? What the fuck do you think will happen to inflation if you don't tax?

Epstein’s Fear of Trump – Despite all this, Epstein was reportedly afraid of Trump, knowing he’d do “anything” to protect himself.
This wasn’t just speculation; Epstein, who knew Trump better than most, feared Trump’s ruthlessness as he rose to the presidency.
