Re <<whistling past graveyards ... raw material ... to make stuff ... finally noticed there might be a problem with that ... has nothing at all to do with Russia changing customers... selling its oil to India and China instead of Europe meaning... the sanctions won't really hurt Russia that much anyway ... it will begin to filter out to the White House and the Fed... that if you want lower prices... you need to make more... and to make more of something ... you shouldn't do any of what the White House and the Fed are doing, as that is the opposite ?>>
Sense, get f*cking real, you are making the mechanism and gear works within to easy to understand for the officialdom. 'They' like complicated. Complicated is when you get to write bigger checks for the people on behalf of the people funded by the people and extracted from the people.
It is, simply put, all about the people, how best to f*ck them and have them cheering.
Both Team China and USA does it, but slightly differently.
Team China makes the people work for it, the screwing, study for it, save and skimp for it, fund it, and enjoy it.
Team USA makes the people wait for it, watch it done, and cheer for it, and some might enjoy it whilst others fret.
Sometimes the methods adopted by each domain exchanges place, just so that people do not get lazy and used to it.
'It' is all about 'it', the process, the beauty of it, and the elegant way 'it' all balances out.
Got 'it'?
Speaking of 'it', here be possibly the latest manifestation of how 'it' is done now, direct, straightforward, easy to budget, peasy to administer, and needing nary discussion, forget about deliberation, because people, 'they' be the for and by, voted for 'it' without the fuss of voting.
'it' is sweet.
Final observation about 'it' that the social experiments tested and then rolled out in CCP China China China are soooooo different than the stuff put on, winged, and spread around in ?NC USA, possibly because of the nature of elite schooling and such.
I must introduce / reinforce some fundamental concepts to the coconut BEFORE she undertakes to study the wrong stuff the right way and try to pitch the ideas in my neighbourhood

Baltimore Residents To Get $1,000 Checks In UBI Pilot Test
Newly elected Mayor Brandon Scott will provide unconditional payments of $1,000 a month for two years to low-income families in Baltimore City's new guaranteed income pilot program, according to local news WBAL.
According to a statement released by Scott's office, the $1,000 monthly checks will be distributed to 200 low-income households across a metro area that struggles with violent crime and a broken economy thanks to decades of Democratic leadership.
The city allocated $4.8 million in the American Rescue Plan funding to finance the Baltimore Young Families Success Fund. It's a cover for pilot testing universal basic income (UBI).

Requirments for free money require that a person be a millennial (18-24), be either the biological or adoptive parents or guardians, and have income at or below the federal poverty level.
The free money comes with no strings attached, and they can spend it on anything.
Commenting on the UBI test program, Scott said:
"This is fundamentally about putting our families in a position to succeed. We are putting money directly into the hands of our residents because they know more than anyone else what their families need to ascend the ladder of opportunity."
Baltimore will be the latest city to trial UBI in an increasing number of city leaders across the US who provide free money to their citizens as a base income.
Palm Springs, California, recently adopted a UBI pilot program for low-income transgender people. The city of Oakland, California, launched a UBI program for low-income families last year.
The popularity of UBI has grown ever since the federal government deployed trillions of dollars in helicopter money during COVID and handed out stimulus checks funded by the Federal Reserve.
" UBI is a candy-coated trap that breeds dependency in a population. Free money is an addictive drug, and America just had a big taste during the pandemic," Brandon Smith via Alt-Market recently opined.
This sweet taste of UBI heaven has given people wanting more and politicians a new tool of control, where the government becomes the source of food and housing for the citizenry. This makes low-income people less inclined to stand against any abuse by the establishment, such as mass surveillance and the militarization of police.
The timing of Scott's UBI announcement comes as the city could be on track for a record number of homicides this year. Murders are already above the 5-year average.

Perhaps, UBI in Baltimore is a distraction from the mayor's failed plan to turn the city around. |
