Biases are strong with me, but I'm aware of them!
- I’m enjoying the men crossly replying to this “actually, the deputy leader of the Greens didn’t hypnotise a woman to make her breasts bigger, he hypnotised her to make her BELIEVE her breasts were bigger” and… lads, are you under the impression the problem with this story is the resulting boob size?

View full threadIt's implicit throughout, particularly in the sections dealing with full employment, but from a brief scan, this section on pp19-20 effectively says that:
- I recommend you read chapter 5. Even though I did say give me a link, and you gave me a screenhot, I have to be honest when I say taking things out of context is not going to prove your point.
- UK now ranking alongside Russia and Hungary - tremendous work by the Labour party.
- OMG the ILGA map has been released and this is how the UK looks under their Legal Gender Recognition section. They awarded us 6.57% WTF. rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org/categories/l...

- Labour have been in government for a year now, so as much as I dislike the Tories, this should now be owned by Labour

- So where does MMT say you can just print as much as you like. I don’t want opinions, please provide links.
- Money is simply a means of exchange commonly accepted as such. It is whatever it is. (This is another falsehood of Kelton and her MMT: that it was created to enable tax. No, it wasn't). But yours is the wrong question. What matters is not so much where money comes from but what it's based on.
- What is our currency based on? The last time I checked it as fiat?

- So you don't know anything about MMT then?
- It all started here, because James struggled to counter my arguments, so he felt the need to attack some other aspect of what I believed, and I like talking about MMT 😂 so I jumped down the rabbit hole!
- And so many people are so keen on trying to show me that MMT is this bad thing that will never work, is completely wrong, etc
- Kelton then developed those concepts into a book for the general public on MMT - The Deficit Myth. It's an awful work, which is wrong on both the facts and the critique.
- Interesting, except, it all sound very much so like an opinion.

- Here is a very simple question: Where does the money come from? If Scotland decides to declare independence and use it's own currency, where does that come from?

- I live in an area where I've got a Conservative MP. So my vote for the Green Party helps them with Short Money! And I'm very happy using my vote in that manner!
