  1.  @lflaherty3937  to be clear, I am deeply against overcentralisation, whether through state authoritarianism or corporate monopolisation I just found it very amusing that the metaphor so strongly implies an endorsement, especially after he said he strongly prefers black coffee 😆

  3. I'm starting to suspect some people neither watched the whole video, nor read the entire thread, but it's all good because it's all fuel for the algorithm 🙂

  4. Guess it depends on who controls the money, but I would say most MMT advocates would say it's a negotiation between corporations and state. A merger implies aligned policy and interests, while in practice state and corporate priorities will be a mix of both shared interests and conflicting priorities
