Like, if you say to someone "The government has too much debt and needs to stop spending and printing money!", they'll be all #metoo.

But try suggesting all the stuff you'd have to cut, to balance the budget and begin paying down the debt, and they'll be like, Nah, bro.

They agree with you, in theory, but not in reality. Or they're just pretending to agree, so that you'll shut up about it.

Another example is "People should use Nostr, so that they can't be censored.... and neither can anyone else." 💪

Yo, that sounds more like a bug than a feature, to most people. They all know people whose stuff they don't want to see and they have stuff they want to aim at very specific people.

A better mantra is "Write what you want. Control what you read".

why pay the debt? just default it

Both the government and the populace prefer inflation to default.

I prefer a default

Until it's actually about to default. Then it always gets spooky

Default would be nuts. 😂 Absolute chaos.

That does not make it incorrect. 😂

You can't escape that pain forever & the longer it goes on... 😜

The longer it goes on, the less acute the chaos and the more time people have to look for an alternative.

If... & they won't.

There was a solution in some cultures in ancient times but you have sweet FA chance of that happening now.

It's a race to the bottom & everyone is too busy trying get one up on the other to bother even considering adjusting course.

Yep, the vast majority are thieves, they don't have a problem with it unless they are the ones being stolen from or have to bear the risk themselves...

The question however is are they actually conscious of it at this point or not.
