Economics works in strange and mysterious ways

Wait wtf

Let’s become germany in the 1920’s lol

Honestly whose idea was it to make economies so confusing?

The big thing is, don’t raise minimum wage like a bull in a china shop

Now the real debate is whether to tie the minimum wage increase to cost of living, inflation, or to a mix of the two. Either way they are very similar

Economics isn’t something someone made, not really. More like it made itself. It’s almost like a living being. We must study it, to understand how it works

Perhaps the average of them

That sounds good. I mean, you could argue cost of living is more important, but at the same time it is mainly affected by inflation. Average of the two would probably be best

IMO the best way to save the economy has always been the same. GOVERNMENT STOP SPENDING SO MUCH DAMN MONEY!

I blame Jean-Baptiste Colbert and his mercantilism

Last I check I think they spend 4 trillion a year. A trillion alone would take 31.7 thousand years to count

Oh what I wouldn’t give to be a merchant during the time of the medieval trade routes

Unless you’re a computer

No shit

But yeah 4 trillion IS TO DAMN MUCH!

I mean that’s about a fourth of the us’s gdp

😃🔫

You know if we cut social security that’d cut out a whole 1 trillion right there.

I’d be a doctor. Nobody knew anything about medicine so doctors were trusted even though 99% of their practices was bullshit.

“Yep, there’s ghosts in your blood. I’ll let the blood drain from your arm for an hour and then when that’s done do some cocaine about it”

Ngl that’d be pretty fun

But not as beautiful as plotting trade routes across the Mediterranean

If I became president I would push to cut that shit so badly because ending the debt would be my goal

Except you can’t really

Social security is non discretionary spending

I’d rather drink all day, prescribe cocaine and alcohol as I make up shit and watch people bleed

Oh you make it so tempting

Wait so I can I do that as a doctor? That’s tempting but extremely fucked up

You know the social security program would’ve been better if instead of just dipping into it and spending it all, the government had invested the money into the stock market

Ending debt would be near impossible in the foreseeable future without a huge raise in tax

Like a mandatory 401k

And a huge cut in spending

Can we defund the FCC first?

Not all at once but have it slowly it would decrease over time

I want those bastards dead

Trick question. I forgot who the FCC is

Federal Communications Commission

They control all television movies and radio

Ah yeah them

Saying you want to decrease it but not giving any real path to doing so is hearsay
