Printed money seems to coincide with cultural rot

Artificially created money has completely changed the dynamic of our economy. Instead of producing things, the main driver of effort related to gaining wealth shifted to siphoning off as much printed money as possible. How did men like Epstein get so incredibly wealthy while not producing anything tangible? Why do politicians become wealthy during their time as "public servants"? How are companies emboldened to burn money on social messaging rather than actual advertisement that will drive product sales? How is it that supposedly money starved States and local governments have fraud in the billions?
When you are confined to a real economy where money supply is stable, you must act in a real way. There is no margin for foolishness, there is no margin for widespread fraud, not every Tom, Dick and Harry on the east coast can go from marginally wealthy to uber wealthy. Why has EVERYTHING become political....because everyone with sense knows that its impossible to outproduce the money printer. Its a much better strategy to buy access to the pile of new money than to engage in real economic activity.
The fact that inflation is so low...is a bad thing. I asked Grok the following question:
quote:
Calculate the rise in median family income relative to the rise in money supply from earliest measured date to 1990. Then apply that same multiplier to the total rise in money supply from 1990 to today and give me what the median household income would be
The answer(what median household income SHOULD be): $231,641
ACTUAL median household income in 2026: $83,730
The reason that wages and inflation hasnt tracked with increase in money supply...is that the money is being skimmed off the top, aka STOLEN. The already wealthy...became uber wealthy
This has turned our country into an oligarchy, where the wealthy have amassed so much wealth that they can literally burn it through social messaging with CULTURAL ROT...to convince us plebs to keep feeding the machine. This is why we are exposed to political slop 24/7.
The ironic thing is that even with all this money, it became HARDER for the average joe to get ahead. While the wealthy have stolen and hoard trillions, that average joe cant even get a $20k loan to start a business, unless he has a mountain of capital already.
Only God can save this land and people. The country as we knew it died a long time ago. We now are the United Oligarchy of Wealthy while us plebs get our bread and circuses to entertain us

100% accurate. This is a slow frog boil situation to me.
Normal, taxpaying citizens are subsidizing the fronts and theft set up by the elite. As we get squeezed out, more and more people depend on the govt; however, that money supply will run out at some point.

When the citizenry trust the institutions to act in the best interests of the citizenry with no oversight or accountability to the citizenry you get what we have today.

One problem is that when it all collapses(and it will), even if money value deteriorates, the wealthy will still hold the deeds to everything. Without violence it seems that this wont be rectified.
As Americans we had it beaten into our heads that the wealthy are to be admired, that they got there through hard work and that is where we want to be. The idea of confiscating wealth(even if acquired by theft) will be a hard pill to swallow for heritage, white Americans

It's difficult to aim higher when your entire focus is on making a number grow larger at any cost... and that's not just from a spiritual direction.

I think there needs to be a distinction. The “uber” wealthy can be divided into categories:
- those who own private companies, real estate, IP, etc., who produce a product that society benefits from
- the bureaucracy/politicians which do nothing but enrich themselves by stealing, have no product and are destroying the middle class for the betterment of their own families.
The first category is beneficial for a westernized society, the second will destroy one

If spending and the size of gov’t are you top issues (they are mine), there’s no way to justify voting for either Rs or Ds. They are both bent on spending us into oblivion.

Id agree. There are certainly producers, and though they may have benefitted from the circumstances(Elon Musk being great example), they are still a net positive producer.

Aint gonna lie, I just dont see any path where this can be rectified through voting. The people who are most wealthy and powerful will never give up this power willingly. It will require divine intervention.

When you can collect welfare and many other social programs and still live pretty comfortably shite happens.

When you're poor and refuse to work you can commit theft. But there is a risk of getting caught. Our system allows you to vote for politicians who will commit the theft for you.

G.Hulsmann of Mises Institute has a great book on this topic.

Its almost like there is a pact between the uber wealthy and powerful and the people at the bottom who are fine with a small bit of the bounty as long as it requires no effort. Its the people in the middle who actually make the wheels turn that have no power

I know a prominent New Orleans business woman who used to advise, “Never give away ‘sweet precious’ (equity in the business); give away that green crap that depreciates.” Some people reading this will know exactly to whom I refer.

What? The median household income is not supposed to be proportionate to the money supply. You should ask Grok to tell you what it would be had it grown at the rate of your rose bush.
