I'm doing it. The backlash of doing both could very well kill us, but we're out of options at this point. *taking a deep breath I bring my hands up to the EMBED DUCKLO button as well as the EMBED BATES buttons and press them after a moment's hesitation* God help us all...

it will be interesting to see how American nuns react to this. last time there was a big standoff over abortion (nuns were helping poor women get to Planned Parenthood - for contraception, prenatal care, and abortions, 2/3 of which are big no-no’s) the nuns got the bishops to back down when they threatened as a body to schism iirc

(but they didn’t say anything in public while he was a senator?)

But what if the loaners used the $20 to add value to the economy roughly equal to the amount they had to pay back? Wouldn't the dollar value stay the same then, even if there is more dollars total in the economy?

Thats why I'm asking. I assume more money would need to be put into circulation as a greater amount/value of goods are added to the market to avoid deflation but I am just some guy on the internet and don't actually know anything.

Eric Adams is the closest thing the Dems have to Trump, in that both are extremely stupid guys with complete self-assurance in themselves. Also New York I guess. So maybe he's their best shot in 2024  Zoran posted:tbf he actually did but the only discipline he’s interested in is making sure the party doesn’t become even remotely left-wing The last time Obama used his clout for anything was to make sure LeBron and the rest of the NBA didn't go on strike in solidarity with the BLM protests in 2020 lol I'm sure this has been written about by people much smarter than me, but Dems are destined to fail because they think the world is fine as-is and have no incentive to change it.

So maybe he's their best shot in 2024 Karl Polanyi, the Great Transformation quote:With the liberal the idea of freedom thus degenerates into a mere advocacy of free enterprise—which is today reduced to a fiction by the hard reality of giant trusts and princely monopolies. This means the fullness of freedom for those whose income, leisure, and security need no enhancing, and a mere pittance of liberty for the people, who may in vain attempt to make use of their democratic rights to gain shelter from the power of the owners of property. Nor is that all. Nowhere did the liberals in fact succeed in reestablishing free enterprise, which was doomed to fail for intrinsic reasons. It was as a result of their efforts that big business was installed in several European countries and, incidentally, also various brands of fascism, as in Austria. Planning, regulation, and control, which they wanted to see banned as dangers to freedom, were then employed by the confessed enemies of freedom to abolish it altogether. Yet the victory of fascism was made practically unavoidable by the liberals' obstruction of any reform involving planning, regulation, or control. Freedom's utter frustration in fascism is, indeed, the inevitable result of the liberal philosophy, which claims that power and compulsion are evil, that freedom demands their absence from a human community. No such thing is possible; in a complex society this becomes apparent. This leaves no alternative but either to remain faithful to an illusionary idea of freedom and deny the reality of society, or to accept that reality and reject the idea of freedom. The first is the liberal's conclusion; the latter the fascist's. .
