The Weimar Republic is the Germany, you're talking about.

And the correct mental image is of them burning money because it was cheaper than buying coal with it. It was pre-Nazi Germany in the throes of the Great Depression and saddled with the debt of WWI. Somehow Hitler pulled them out of that mess and dragged them right into WW2.

If you're looking for somebody to expound on the ills of capitalism then I'm you man. Capitalism has spun out of control. Society is spinning out of control with it.

You can see it everywhere, it's like a runaway diesel engine. Not much you can do but watch and wait for it to blow.

As far as inflation? It'll come back under control. This time.

Joe Biden is bragging right now that he is single-handedly bringing down fuel prices for the good of all Americans. Even though presidents don't control the price of gas he has seized control and done it...Huzzah huzzah huzzah! It'll be under $4 by election day.

It's a matter of supply and demand. Supplies got interrupted, and demand rose. Prices jumped. Sh*t got complicated everywhere after covid and f*cking Putin had to choose a time like this to start a war in Europe?

Capitalism can't breed enough workers to exploit, to fill the demand that it has created, to maintain the growth that it needs, to support the Billionaire class in the manner to which they are accustomed.

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
