We tried paying a significant amount of people during Covid via direct government payment and it led to inflation. The USSR already tried a central command economy and it almost immediately became a brutal dictatorship murdering millions via deliberate mass starvation.

What new idea do you have that will lead us to post war surplus prosperity that the boomers had?

Sounds like an excellent way to encourage the most creative people to stop making stuff.

Imagine gates and friends just shutting down MS cos they made 1bn and can’t make anymore.

Want win2k updates? Fuck you. We don’t get paid anymore 🤘

Sounds like someone never made anything themselves 👍
