Like at some point won’t all of the profit be squeezed out of society?

    More money moving is better for everyone.

    *Gestures broadly at “the economy” Biden kept bragging about

    Lots of money is moving, it’s not good for the majority of us

      I mean real wages have been increasing under Biden so he’s not 100% wrong about the whole economy thing, but either way that’s not relevant to my point.

      Because it’s moving to the top. The latest round of price gouging inflation is a special case and not representative of inflation at large.

          I mean exactly. I’m not sure when in my replies you saw me say anything otherwise; you need strong and well-enforced taxation or the whole thing falls apart. That has no relation to the value of currency, which is a far more fundamental issue in a capitalist system.
