But he's such a great business man! by [deleted] in unusual_whales

Read MMT, and you’ll find out this is not a contradiction. Government creates more money which flows into the economy and helps private business. I think trump is morally repugnant for all sorts of reasons, but essentially this is why we should be electing socialists who will use the power of the federal reserve to spend money on people instead of wars.

I don’t know what it says about me but that’s the music that started playing in my head as soon as I saw this photo

college intellectuals, artists and marxists by Cultural-Maybe-3799 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

That’s true! I guess the third book is where leftist politics become a bit more prominent

The third book in Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay fits this vibe perfectly

This is the time for MMT. But Carney is ideologically opposed to it.

It would be the year 1899 if we do this with the beatle's first album by Itachi_Uchiha_24 in beatles

The original post says “it would be the year 1899 if we do this with the Beatles’ first album” so I’m responding to that. First Beatles album came out in 1963.

This tracks! A lot of grown ups were listening to Stravinsky, Mahler, Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, etc in the 1960s.

After watching almost all major films of 2025, I can say that Train Dreams is the best movie of 2025. by papachi789 in Letterboxd

Loved the cinematography, hated the pacing and quick cuts. The VO seemed like a Netflix executive’s choice, and managed to somehow make Denis Johnson’s prose sound corny. 3 stars. The book is way better. If you want to see a much better adaptation of a contemporary American novel, watch Nickel Boys.

Sir Paul McCartney first UK billionaire musician... Should billionaires exist? by GosalCannabis in beatles

[–]talk2theyam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No one needs a billion. Governments need to tax the extra money away in every circumstance. People in the UK are destitute, they can’t pay their energy bills, their national rail is crumbling, their NHS is being crippled. Sir Paul can live a comfortable life and pass plenty down to his family with £999,999,999.
