Austerity is Murder @sdgrumbine

Its tweets like this that we have heard time and time again, that shout at the problem and never go the xtra mile to learn the solution. I see friends liking the bridge to oblivion posts & wonder why they stay silent, ignoring solutions. It makes you realize they never paid attn.
When I see upstart 3rd parties and friends staying in the low hanging fruit of pointing and problems and skipping the solutions (#FederalJobGuarantee, #GreenNewDeal, #MedicareForAll) and then realize they never bothered really getting #MMT... it makes you further realize...
The lights aren't on yet.
Starting here with a #FederalJobGuarantee... why ring your hands at the problem and not advance the solution? #GreenNewDeal #LearnMMT #mmt
Why stop at a #FederalJobGuarantee once we understand the system and begin empower the people to dream and #Insist on better? #MMT
I mean... the complaints about inequality and worker to capital has been obvious for many years...

#MMT provides the lens to make our best choices moving forward.

Enough building complaint bridges to nowhere...
#MMT opens the door to answer how to "fund the fix"
Sadly they spend their time complaining about Democrats and laughing at those who did X under Obama and Y under Trump, failing to realize they are wasting valuable time, energy and resources focusing negative energy instead of what they think they are building.
Small dreams and even lesser gains come from simply talking nonstop about how bad the other guy is...
We just don't have time for problemeering when we need engineering and solutions architects to work collaboratively to save our species from the near term catastrophic effects of irresponsible fossil fuel usage and manmade #climatechange

We NEED a #GreenNewDeal
And we can afford it is everyone helps every other one..#EachOneTeachOne #MMT
But alas... many will opt to abide cynicism. And quippy tweets and as someone desperate to see a party representing my interests

It requires being an economic activist... not just a complainer, to get there.

What is the main insights of #MMT to the activist?

That the nation isn't broke and doesn't require ↗️📈 taxes to pay for programs?

MMT is not political but it exposes fraud, corruption and destructive behaviors easily.
MMT leverages sectoral balances to assess the health of an economy. Those sectors include Public Sector, Private Sector and Rest of World.

MMT shows we are not on a gold standard, petro standard or anything other than a sovereign free floating non-convertible fiat currency.
Not since 1971 when Nixon ended the convertibility to gold via the Bretton Woods Accord.

Congressional spending is the birth of a dollar and federal taxation is the death of a dollar.

We don't just "print money".

There is a HUGE public out there who thinks our nation, which creates its own currency everytime it spends, must be constrained like a household budget which cannot do the same.
The lie is so pernicious that no other factor will hold us back including corruption, rigged elections, or any other issue you may raise.

Because this lie is responsible for more death and destruction than any other lie, it is ground zero of our efforts.
All the yellow vests and protests in the world will not fix what ails us until this is known.

It is really the most maddening truth because honestly the truth is so easy to see.

Federal taxes serve to create demand for the currency..

But they do not pay for any programs.

I want you to know something terrifying...
Only @RoKhanna and @Ocasio2018 even voiced opposition to #PayGo from the Democratic Party.

Rank and file Democrats on Facebook ignored Dr @StephanieKelton regarding this matter.
Rank and file Democrats give Republicans all the ammo they need pretending the nation is constrained by taxation for spending.

Rank and file Democrats have accepted austerity is the "right thing to do". To be "fiscally responsible" and "clean up the Republicans budget mess".
Rank and file Democrats do not realize our nation creates dollars when it spends and destroys dollars when it taxes.

Rank & file Democrats end up supporting #GreenNewDeal killing economics of austerity then do the Republicans job for them by asking "How are you gonna pay for it"

1/ I'm stunned, but not surprised by AT&T's decision to extended their #Friends licensing deal with Netflix through 2019. A perfect example of, despite saying they were committed to winning in SVOD, Big Media wants to have their cake, eat it to - and then hope they get a 3rd cake
2/ #Friends is one of Netflix's most valuable titles. It's one of the most celebrated sitcoms, one of Netflix's most popular series, and has a whopping 236 episodes of tonnage - and a fervent fanbase
3/ AT&T could (and should) have simply moved #Friends to HBO, their leading SVOD asset. Imagine the impact on customer acquisition - all of a sudden the press coverage inundates all Friends fans to get HBO, if they haven't already!

"we just want to be treated equally"

This is the shit you abandoned lesbians to @stonewalluk.

I have an inbox full of younger lesbians TOO SCARED to speak out who stumbled across my pinned tweet & messaged me because they didn't know what to do. 1/
I didn't message older lesbians when I was their age. They were - well, old. And I was too busy either self loathing, or then being a scene queen finally getting thrown out of bars for too much drink, being too wild, or chasing my pals who did the same. 2/
I was too busy with my mates, too busy with women, too busy travelling, too busy being daft - which is what being in your twenties is about. Being daft, in amongst all the serious boring shit. It's about being able to embrace/find out who you are. 3/

The method in which #Qanon communicates has awakened our minds. Not symbolically, LITERALLY. Solving #breadcrumbs, networking/fellowships w/#Patriots, digging, #LEARN (ing), has re-activated areas of our mind that has been suppressed by #DeepState indoctrination & programming.
(2)
 #TheGreatAwakening was not only of symbolic meaning. Q #Woke the minds of millions of Patriots. #Q drops were baffling us all, but bonds were formed and leaders arose. We began to hold fast to the idea of Brotherhood and Patriotism once again. We were gifted leaders to guide.

 @prayingmedic is in my opinion, the best. Dave Hayes has a deep and meaningful connection to God Thru Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Daves dreams, visions, spiritual interpretations are all due to his understanding and ability to wield the Holy Trinity as a weapon.

It’s Saturday evening. Bible time. This evening, Congressman Jim Jordan is on my mind. Sometimes in life, Satan attacks you. And there is nothing you can do about it. The attack comes out of nowhere and hits you like a summer squall.
All you can do is hunker down and weather the storm. You did nothing wrong. You can’t go back and live the past. But here you are, being attacked from all sides. These are the times when you need God the most. You can’t depend on human beings.
Human beings are weak. When the storm comes, they will desert you. Or remain silent, hoping the flak doesn’t hit them. Very few will stand with you. But God will. Through thick and through thin, in the good times and the bad, God is always there.
