  1. The easiest way to pay the LEAST taxes in America is by doing TWO things! 1. Renting 2. Gambling - (capital gains) The east way to pay the MOST taxes in America is by doing TWO things! 1. Owning a home 2. Working a W-2 job. Now tell me that's not intentional to incentivize slavery?

  2. Ah yes! Planned obsolescence! Where they make a shovel with an iron blade, a wooden shaft, but an aluminum neck so that it snaps.

  4. This!!! I feel like I'm in a world of literal NPC's. You can't have an open conversion with very many people these days. It's all programmed responses.

  5. Youtube channels are the baseline example of what a Keynesian economy is; permanent growth and permanent inflation. A channel can only grow linear (without change) to a certain degree. Once that organic growth stagnate; the user must use different ways to attract attention, usually in a dishonest way. Permanent growth is a ridiculous idea, but as far as the economic system is concerned; it's a must. So in order to make permanent growth happen, real growth has to be supplanted by artificial growth; a decline in quality. I compare this to large companies. As time goes on, you can only grow so much, that artificial growth MUST be the next source. So they start lowering the quality, selling you snake oil, etc. Currency inflation (based on a debt system) is inevitable. So in order to survive, everyone 'even the farmers' have to play the same game. You can't keep the same business model and the same prices unfortunately (like you might in an Austrian system). You have to raise prices and when you can't raise prices, you must dilute the quality of your product or shrink the sale.
