"They are printing money all the time. Why can't I do that?!"

"They print so much money, this isn't even a drop in the bucket. Why would you even prosecute that?"

The US printed 3 trillion USD the last few years while exporting inflation to all uses of the USD. The stimulation checks were just a way to give some of that back to the people inside of the US who were also stolen from.

And the stimulus got mostly spent on rent and paying back debt, so ultimately it ended up with Wall Street, who then proceeded to buy up housing with it.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
