You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Feeling like an economic pariah? ❤️ That's the personal cost of the "Empty Toolbox" lie—the myth we "can't afford" a better future. The truth? The limit is real resources, not money. My posts explain the lie & its human cost, leading to my MMT eBooks (Nov 4). Catch up:

So much discourse about "online radicalization" revolves around tales of random people getting their noggins cooked online. That happens, sure, but that brain rot seems to have completely engulfed GOP elites to extents not quite seen in other sectors of society.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.
