Money manipulation causes all societal ills

· 4 months ago · 3 replies · 371

Personal thoughts here: many of our economic and societal problems stem from the distortion of money itself. Currency represents one half of every economic transaction, and when it is manipulated, the consequences extend far beyond wages failing to keep pace with inflation. It distorts incentives, misallocates resources, and creates conditions in which fraud and corruption can spread throughout virtually every sector of society.

It scares me to think where we are headed. In the last 20 years society has decayed very badly with people just so nasty to one another. You used to have cordial disagreements/debates but now you're evil if you aren't on board with someone's beliefs.

I could see this as being rooted in bad money.

Couldn't say it better, glad someone else sees this.

Oh it for sure is rooted in that!
