Oh yeah I see the shirt line now lol

Have a great day 🧑

Man you are becoming a beat im sure πŸ˜…

Do you notice differences?

Do you work out besides this, or did you before?

Hmmm well you do pay for it by losing buying power, right?

The normal tax also pays for services you use, right?

all the government does is in general for the people. For example care for the homeless is something I haven't used so far, but it's a service I do like.

If the government came out and said: we gonna raise the tax on food and rent 2-7% this year, to pay for roads and police.

(Buying power for everyday items goes down, the items are 2-7% more expensive)

And then they do that every year πŸ˜…

People would surely ask why we don't divide the tax burden more on "the rich" or why the services get more expensive all the time.

And then imagine in that situation the people hear that we gave a gazillion dollar to foreign countries. People would be pissed πŸ™ˆ

But I do agree, government does things we need and needs to raise money for that.

They would still do that if Bitcoin were the only currency on the planet.

Raising the money covertly through inflation is a way to hide the real cost from the voter and I think it impact poor and middle class people disproportionately more.

I think the government would have to scale back and concentrate on things that most people want, like roads, police and national defense, maybe healthcare and schooling, because people wouldn't tolerate expenses they don't agree with.

People call inflation a "hidden tax" because if the circumstances you elaborate.

If the government can't dilute the money, they would have to tax people directly, leading to a lot of questions about the sense of the things they want money for, who should pay more or less of it and so on.

An interesting thing to research in connection to this is the difference between tax revenue and government spending. Good Luck on that path 🫣

I did the same on Twitter with Ukraine x Russia and Israel x Gaza when the conflicts started.

I did help quite a lot πŸ˜‡

Can you put it up with Japanese and Japanese subs? πŸ˜„
