It boggles my mind that the federal reserve is privately owned and Americans don't find anything wrong with this.


:) you found out? its like that for every country thats why they all in debt. in debt to people that dont produce chit.

money root of all evil isnt just some whimsical saying

Timothy 6:10 to be: For the love of money is the root of all of evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

bible records everything

Inflation is very easy to understand - when there is more money in circulation (money is printed or digitally created), money is now worth less.
.


This is the problem with fiat money, right? As long as we don't print money out of nowhere, inflation should be very low, right?

fiat money is fake money. politicians sell out to the world bankers. tomas jefferson said world bankers present a greater danger that any standing army.

"jefferson prophecies" for something to read.

Not just fiat money but any form of money. Although if the currency itself is derived from an actual commodity (e.g. Gold coins) then it is harder to make more of. However even in this case, if a massive gold deposit is found and many more coins are minted then inflation still happens.

But yes of course, if we don't go bonkers printing money inflation is very low! A very small amount of inflation (2% is the quoted number) is okay and is often considered a good thing to incentivize people to spend money thus promoting the production of goods and services

Personally I think that gold-backed currencies are better, however they are still not perfect, as you pointed out. I think money should be linked to a nation's productivity. Money should only be created when goods and services are being created.

You're right and that's to my understanding the main idea behind the current US system. Money is created only for payment for a good or service which works well when you don't have radical leftist governments printing money to give away for free.

I have wondered about why we have inflation in our modern world to deal with. I am no historian but I believe that there was no inflation in the middle ages. It seems to me that inflation arose along with the advent of modern central banks and the rise of fiat money. If inflation is an unavoidable part of fiat money then maybe this form of currency is a failure.

So what do you guys think we can do to combat inflation?

Another way is to spend it immediately. Not to buy stuff but on children, which one should have lots of. Make babies, then spend your money to fund their education. Make sure they study something useful. And when you're old, they will take care of you, if you raised them right.

This is how we can fight inflation.

There was a time when I believed in this statement but unfortunately the only way out of our current hyper inflationary death spiral is a new war which the US is desperate for. Proxie wars in the Ukraine and Middle East isn't cutting it anymore.

We either get a us backed crypto that we have to use by force
Or we get a civil war. I'm preparing for the latter
