  7.  @kevintartis4421  DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS I AM SAYING TO YOU NOW!!! THERE"S SIMPLY NO CONNECTION BETWEEN MONEY SUPPLY AND JOBS!!!\ Increasing inflation is sometimes like a tax, where diluting the amount of money out there allows the government to fund operations. But sometimes higher inflation is used to incentivize exports as people dump their own currency and instead take payment from the country they're exporting to

  9. There's not that many homeless people. Although some fools simply change the definition of homeless until a statistically significant figure emerges. For instance, my state defined homeless as having no mailing address, but most of the people that meet that definition live in an RV or rent a single room from a friend.

  12. Yes, but we want to count every Uber driver that gets axed as a "tech job layoff" in order to sound ominous and sell clicks
