I want to believe that the kids mentioned in posts like this are playing along with their parents' delusions so they don't have to sit through another lecture about how the Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme and they're chemtrailing us with fluoride.

i genuinely question this idea, i certainly never believed in magic.

That's awesome. I have a formative memory as like a 10 year old putting on a magic play for 5 year olds, and our teacher told us that little kids believe in magic and it turned out to be true because they believed what we were doing

Haha you reminded me of a video of some poor young teen having to film his mother making chemtrails disappear by spraying a bottle of vinegar at them.

He was so unenthused.

Edit: I can't find it. My guess it was obv taken down .

I mean technically the federal reserve is a ponzi scheme they charge interest on money printed requiring more money to be paid back than they printed. Ergo there isn't enough print money in existence to pay them back.

Regular economic thinking doesn't work on the scale of nations. Just like a family having debt is not the same thing as a country having debt.

Pretty much everyone in the world has no full idea how an economy works and how to best stimulate it. It's like a trillion moving parts and smart asses always go "yea this pin over here? That's the one that's the problem / solution"

Pretty much no-one knows. We have ideas what's better / worse but anyone who tells you they've got it figured out, is lying.
