Couldn’t the collective threat that everyone just diasporas mitigate inflation if businesses tried to pull any funny business?
Why does it work for Monaco?

So what do you think in terms of what the actual issue(s) is and solution-wise?
Like obviously the external geopolitical roots need to be addressed but even if they were, where do they go from there?
Every kid you have you can’t support exacerbates the issue and I fail to see how increasing the population in areas or economies that can’t support it somehow defies gravity?
If there’s no jobs and everybody is multiplying and being trained in principles that are antithetical to economic gain and progress in general, how can they ever escape that reality?
The implied notion that the West should (at all) and continually subsidize the seeds of agents pursing it its destruction is beyond my abillity to accomodate. Like, if they want what we want and agree we can all jointly pursue that, thats cool.
If its a matter of we will end Western decadence using our iPhones I have zero desire or belief they will or should be given the rough materials to even begin to realize that end
You’re all over the place, but I personally believe the biggest issue is people look at economic systems and ask things like “how can we maximize our production and consumption power?”
The “solution” is for everyone to come to an agreement on how much of something is “enough” and work forward from that baseline. This is incredibly difficult because people have different priorities, and getting people to agree on how much food, fuel, and infrastructure should be produced and consumed per capita would be a huge challenge. Capitalist economic systems allow people to more easily distance themselves from the moral problem of greed by saying things like “If I can make $5,000 that means I earned the right to consume $5,000 worth of goods.” But the real world “value” of making $5,000 from construction work on housing is vastly different than the value produced from selling a $5,000 NFT.
Why don’t we differntiate accoordingly? Like why do we allow people ro speculate on NFTS like that re:Securities laws? I know thats just one particular anecdote but why is crypto a serious and viable option in this context?
