What if there was such a thing as a free lunch?

Apparently the number one rule in economics is this notion that there is no such thing as a free lunch. But, if in fact, the truth was that there was such thing as a free lunch… How would this change things?

The Bitcoin Standard is Lit!

Bid on Capital

Scarcity is the starting point of all economics 

Scarcity versus abundance?

Unemployment & Dearth of Sound Money

I have a theory: perhaps the reason why unemployment is so high is that individuals are no longer tempted to work these meaningless jobs, in exchange for flaccid fiat currency. Once again note, now at McDonald’s, because the minimum wage in Los Angeles has been raised from $16 an hour to $20 an hour, overnight, Anyone with half a brain working at McDonald’s! This is insane!

Also, overnight, the price of goods and food has shot up! ample, a single burger patty at Shake shack only used to be $1.50, now, after the minimum wage hike, suddenly overnight, the purchasing power of my US dollar has become extremely devalued, a single burger patty is $2.50!!! This is an inflation of a dollar, overnight!!

This is bad news. Raising the minimum wage from $16 an hour to $20 an hour for fast food workers, is insane. Don’t these fools know that artificially increasing the minimum wage will eventually just make rent prices, housing prices, and all food prices, gas prices go up? 

“The cause of waves of unemployment is not ‘capitalism’ but governments denying enterprise the right to produce good money.”

Keynes is Bad (John Maynard Keynes)

“See Michael Holroyd, Lytton Strachey: The New Biography, vol. I, p. 80, in which a letter sent by Keynes to his friend Lytton Strachey in the Bloomsbury set advised them to visit Tunis “where bed and boy were not expensive.” See also David Felix, Keynes: A Critical Life, p. 112, which quotes a letter from Keynes in which he informs a friend, “I’m leaving for Egypt … I just learned that ‘bed and boy’ is prepared.” In another letter, he recommended Strachey go to Tunis and Sicily “if you want to go to where the naked boys dance.”

Excerpt From

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist whose ideas fundamentally changed the theory and practice of macroeconomics and the economic policies of governments. He lived from 1883 to 1946. Keynes is best known for his theory on the causes of prolonged unemployment, which he presented in his seminal work, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936). His theory, known as Keynesian economics, suggests that in the short run, especially during recessions, economic output is strongly influenced by aggregate demand (total spending in the economy).

Keynes advocated for increased government expenditures and lower taxes to stimulate demand and pull the global economy out of depression. His ideas have been widely used to justify economic intervention policies by governments and have influenced various aspects of modern macroeconomic policies, particularly regarding the role of government in stabilizing the economy over the business cycle.

What is Capitalism?

When can and when should one stop accumulating capital?

How does one accumulate capital? By saving it, conserving it, and stacking it —

Capitalism as an economic system based on capital accumulation from saving? 

“capitalism—an economic system based on capital accumulation from saving”

Now time preference

My overall critique of economist is that there are two focused on the future. The utility value of the future, saving for the future, whatever. Yet what a lot of these skinny fat anemic low muscle mass dweebs don’t know is how to live right now in the present moment?
