problems arent solved by making up more paper. problems are solved by doing and properly allocating the resources we already have ie not on the whims of billionaires or on the restrictions their money imposes. money is supposed to represent these assets but not when we think in a financialized (?) way like this.

we could certainly tackle the worlds problems without printing a single extra penny, if only we eliminated the parasites stopping us and propping up the fake paper system where they control all of our resources in the first place.
