      It's always been stimulus checks are bad but stimulus cks are only 15% of the whole stimulus package where's the rest of the money going? I just find the whole concept of focusing on the individual getting stimulus versus the 85% that was given out to the rich or zombie companies is okay or it's bad but whatever. It's okay for large companies to take advantage of all the shutdowns. They're giving a gift and it's bad to tax them because they're free market. they're not free market their crony capitalists

      What makes bitcoin special? Nothing. You might as well say Peter is wrong about Tesla and buy tesla stock as well. I just found out that bitcoin and tesla price have correlated quite closely. Something like 95%.. and just like bitcoin, if you got in early with tesla, you would have made a killing. However, peter is focused on the fundamentals, not the sticker price.

You know how many Russian Products are in typical American households? ZERO. It's simply a FACT that PEOPLE are innovative and create Wealth, NOT government.

  • @darssmare915
    @darssmare915 3 года назад +1

    Regarding price increases or decreases versus money inflation or deflation, I believe there are essentially three categories of products and services which behave slightly different. 1) There are those that have benefited from a real technological or scientific progress, like the TV example. 2) There are those that haven't but were replaced by cheaper materials like a window frame going from high quality wood to aluminium to plastics. 3) There are those called valuables which cannot be substituted because at the core have to be made of the genuine stuff like a rare hardwood piece of furniture or high quality gold jewelry. The money inflation and deflation act differently on these three categories. 1) Is mostly going down or is constant in price at a certain moment in time. 2) Can act like category 1 but with the distinction that the consumer suffers a clear degradation in quality or longevity of the product, or the experience provided by the product or service. 3) The price increase is often observed without any doubt. So I think CPI is a very weak metric for measuring price increases or decreases. It allows many to argue that there is no inflation but this statement is meaningless as a general statement. So now-a-days with massive money printing and distribution it is going to become a very messy and confusing social debate. I believe the politicians are going to get away with massive money printing because most of the people simply don't understand what's going on. In a communist/socialist society from 40 years ago things weren't that crystal clear as we would envision it in the west 40 years later. Not all people had an awareness of the issues at the macro scale. Many were bitching that they have nothing to eat while enjoying "la dolce vita" of a manufacturing job in one of those soviet-like industrial complexes. The same person would behave totally different after running away and starting a new life in the capitalistic west. In 2021, what fraction of USA population is at the core really different from 40 years ago soviet citizens? Maybe free markets and capitalism die with the people, not when dictated by corrupt leaders.

      The Keynesians believe in something called the phillips curve. According to the Phillips curve if you have high unemployment. By default it is deflationary as there is less jobs / money to spend on discretionary items. So deflation which this would put downward pressure on prices. But since they do not account for all the money printing and pretend that money printing does not produce price inflation. This is contradicting that Phillips curve as prices are very much on the rise as we have massive unemployment and very low labor participation. Stagflation contradicts their Phillips curve model.

    The reason health care is expensive is due to mostly the requirement to treat those that are uninsured. That cost has to be born by someone. The other problem is the government regulation of the professions. The uninsured don't have the option of going to a bad doctor that they could afford. Also the requirement to get a prescription to get certain medications is a problem. I know what drugs I need without seeing my doctor 95% of the time.
