When I first started making my xtranormal doomer videos I thought I was an outlier. I guess I was just ahead of a wave.

The vid was already posted somewhere on the forum either yesterday or the day before. I made a comment that it had 800k+ views in just a few days.. now I see total views nearly doubled to 1.4 million.

Great video.. very funny and tells the truth. Good to see the truth getting out to the masses.

I get the whole buying debt thing I guess... But why not print money and use it in infrastructure construction investments?

I don't know anything about economics by the way, but it just seems that either buying debt, or building railways... they both carry the risk of currency devaluation but one ends in intangible economic changes, the other actually builds something.

I am totally ignorant though :-D

We have a financial based economy, so it's the financial deflation black hole they wanted to counter -- they don't care about the infrastructure in your town.

Theoretically.. if you print money and spend it on real things then that causes inflation or even hyperinflation. Most of the money we're printing is going to be invested in foreign infrastructure offshore, and those nations are concerned about the inflation we're about to send them.
