[@CasuallyObservant]

Kai Vickers - ACTUALLY NOT FUNNY. The point was that Warren can't explain it because her ideas are garbage and cannot/should not be done. If implemented as she is suggesting, our country would go bankrupt within the first year and our infrastructure would crumble. Our working taxpayers and business owners do not produce anywhere near the amount annually that it would take to do this and keep the country running. If attempted, within just one year, the government would run completely out of money. That would mean that all federal, state and city workers would stop getting a paycheck and soon, no one would show up to work. Truckers would stop delivering food and other supplies, the gas stations would run out of gas and no one would answer calls anywhere. No one would be on duty. .. That means this: no police, no sanitation workers, no water services, no electricity or gas, no one answering 9-1-1 calls, the hospitals and schools would close, and the store shelves would be empty within a few days and soon it would be chaos and madness. I'm a very educated and well-traveled older person who has lived through many things and I am telling you her ideas are not doable and very dangerous to all but the very, very rich. .. Important Point: Liz Warren is very rich, has armed security, lives in a very wealthy neighborhood with gated security and likely has all the necessary things to keep her happy and well fed for a long time, no matter what happens - unlike the rest of you. .. Liz Warren talks fantasy and most of her followers are so young they don't recognize she is talking nonsense. Don't fall for it. I am not kidding.

“Ready to get red-pilled? Money doesn’t exist. It’s a promise from a computer.” She’s talking about Modern Monetary Theory. Look it up!

[@dexlab7539]

Chris You’re almost right, the US Dollar itself is just a promissory note backed by nothing more than “faith” in the government. That is the Red Pill people don’t understand. MMT would simply vastly expand this faith based currency supply creating massive inflation and increased asset prices.

[@kellyberry4173]

God its hilarious!!!

[@kasumiheyes]

Money has never existed. It's always been an agreement. You can't eat gold. Hell you can't even eat salt. People like to hold those two things up as being "money", that is a proper backing for money. They aren't. They are merely a means to agree. Just like the computer.

[@zachwilliams88]

@@kasumiheyes And yet people can still buy food with money, the fact that it's based on a shared agreement of value doesn't mean that that value isn't subject to interference if, say, the government decides to print 20 trillion dollars to pay their debts and eradicate people's savings through inflation.The fact that much of the world's currency only exists as debt makes it more dangerous to ignore the plans of people who want to massively increase that debt because there's already an unrealistic amount of it, so who cares.

[@fandomguy8025]

Money's value is emergent from the combined perception of it having value in every individual. It's as real as an Ant Colony, or your conscious self from all your brain cells. Individually the paper is worthless but with humans the system is real, money talks, changes happen.
