the fed has smart people. how were they so wrong about inflation being transient, when it seemed so obvious to most people that it wasn't going to be?

|content=One reason that tech executives are so wealthy is that they lie about [[Labor Shortages|shortages]] to get government to flood their specific labor markets, and so don’t have to make their STEM workers truly wealthy. They make STEM workers weak instead.

I wish it weren’t true. But it is what it is.

|content=Let’s stop this [[Labor Shortages|“labor shortage”]] dead in its tracks. Let’s not print visas. It’s time to recognize workers are suffering from a *share shortage*. We need to print shares not visas and add them to compensation packages.

Bingo! Look at that: totally fictitious  problem solved. 🙏

|content=I feel gaslit when grown-ups talk about [[Labor Shortages|labor shortages in market economies w wage mechanisms]].

It’s basically an admission that capitalism is meant as a TRICK where workers can’t benefit from markets.

Let’s talk about the ongoing equities shortage &amp; printing shares for workers.

|content=You see, longterm labor shortages don’t exist in large market economies.

But the news media counts on workers being too dumb to understand the wage mechanism. So everyone in media pretends to believe in labor shortages. Like they were jackalopes.

Let’s print shares &amp; not visas.

|content=Let’s talk about “equities shortages” which are no more real than “labor shortages”. That way every S.O.B. who whines about a labor shortage will hear: “Oh. It’s because of the Stock Share Shortage. You just have to print new shares of your company to get your workers energized.”

|content=I don’t think either party wants to hear what I’d have to say.

Immigration to America was the greatest thing that ever happened to my family. Everyone who wants to come should try. I WISH we could make that miracle happen for everyone.

We simply CAN’T without losing our nation.

|content=If someone wants to fly me to the border I’m happy to go. I may be highly xenophilic, but I am more restrictionist than both parties so it is likely unnecessary.

I don’t believe in [[Labor Shortages|“labor shortages”]] in market economies and I don’t believe in “undocumented citizens.”

|content=I respect your opinion a lot, but I highly recommend you visit the border, unlike our VP. This is a protest. Many towns on the border have had more people crossing than live there. How do you suggest calling attention to this?

|content=I believe in strong borders, deporting those who come illegally, and various ugly things that don’t play well optically but are needed to have a diverse market based free society that can welcome the persecuted, family members, visitors/friends and the extraordinary individual.

|content=My motto is something like: show me a person with a simple inspiring immigration message and I’ll show you the absolute misery it will create.

Show me a person with an ethical approach to immigration that actually works and I’ll show you optical ugliness that will be demonized.

|content=I met this rot first in [[Quantum Gravity|“Quantum Gravity”]]

Then in “Neo-Classical Economics”

Then in [[Labor Shortages|“Scientific Manpower Theory”]]

To hear it in virology with MILLIONS dead? Totally mind blowing.

Take back science, by any means necessary. It is now a matter of survival:

COVID Origins</br>
[[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein Connection to IC]]</br>
UFOs</br>
[[CPI|CPI as Tax Increase/SS Reduction]]</br>
[[Labor Shortages|Fake Labor Shortages]]</br>
DHS meddling in Social Media</br>
Etc.

I don’t believe the US is still on the ballot.
