The only bigger drain on human productivity in the last two decades than what we’ve experienced through taxation and the devaluation of our currency, is the advent of social media. As I post on social media.

not 20 - almost since 50+yrs - worldwide scale - agrument is expanding human population (baby producing ever since big bang ) need ever expanding money supply and ever expanding tax sources.

Yes for sure tell me about it. I was born in ‘71. Never have known a day where we even had backing for our currency. And my Dad is wondering why I’m not double paying my mortgage every month like he and my Mom did.
fact is until mid 1980s nobody in general public worldwide knew that dollar is off gold standard. now news fly in secs - u can even dig it from nostr - no such thing back then even gov trying to supress news. 1971 was temp. measure - temporary like "transient inflation"
As I see it, the problem really isn't social media, it's how people choose to use it (narcissistic attention seeking through shock & virtue signalling), refuse to see what it is doing (to themselves, their kids as well as globally) and the exploitation of that paradigm for money rather than for the public good. So... narcissism is the problem; a human one. 🙏🤷♂️
