We don’t print money and give it to the government directly. How do you reduce the monetary supply when the money isn’t free to begin with? The government pays the money back eventually!

So we’re back to quantitative tightening and raising interest rates. Which reduces spending!

Yes, weakening the economy is the point. That’s how you get the inflation down. A rich person might put $1000 into a bond fund. A poor person would spend it on necessities they have been putting off for a while. Which causes more inflation?

Of course it would reduce demand, poor people would just skip meals. Just because it’s not discretionary doesn’t mean they would still spend the money they don’t have

This has been found multiple times, giving money to poor people boosts spending more than giving it to rich people. So if you want to cut spending, doesn’t it follow you take it away from poor people? You can’t have it both ways

Raising taxes on the poor would combat inflation better because the poor spend all of their money

Yeah, that’s rough for you now, but once you pay those things off you’re going to be well off

My friend has a family of 6 in SF bay area (one kid in college) and he spends ~120K per year. That’s not abnormal when he has nothing to pay off anymore.

Those poor dual income no kids families who only make $190K each

To stream the file from the computer that has it to the tablet that has VLC and low storage

I don’t watch on a smart tv, I watch on VLC.

I don’t NEED to transcode, it plays in VLC just fine

It wanted me to organize my files and then it started to transcode them when I streamed. Not optimal for my use case
