If you’re wondering what I’m gonna put on the back of my jersey it’ll be “Trillion”.

A lot of issues at the moment. I think the fact that the country is 26 (ironically) Trillion dollars in debt is high on the list

Woke up at 4am to see that I’m getting lit up in the comments for talking about the Global Debt. Comments ranging from massive amounts of debt are good (which I disagree with), to its not personal debt (obviously), to its a waste of a platform, amongst others

To those I question, what is the purpose of putting a social issue on the back of the jersey? To inspire change right?
Considering that nobody opts out of the complete global financial system and the USA weaponized the dollar that means you need leverage within the system.

In my opinion like it or not, change for us comes down to Group economics. Rethinking how we approach finances. Acquiring hard assets. Recycling dollars etc. Til then the slow burn of marches/protests will produce progress but will still yield similar results. (Lynchings in 2020)

If America only responds hastily to violence and money I think there is a very clear option that some of the most visible ethnic people around the globe can have an impact on.

Or I could just say fuck the police, y’all get a quick laugh and go on about your day.

Furthermore, since y’all comments are actually starting to bother me now. Power in this current system is derived from money and so the greatest message in all this is to follow the money. And do your own research. (1/11)

To learn the rules of the game that you are inevitably trapped in instead of acting like they don’t exist or focusing on symptoms instead of the root of the issue. That is unless you’re going to opt out of the system completely but that’s a whole different conversation. (2/11)

I’m not necessarily a deficit hawk as some so eloquently put it, and I’ve also studied MMT albeit lightly. Correct me if I’m wrong but the main school of thought within MMT is that there will always be demand for the dollar on a closed loop (3/11)

and that unless you believe in inflation long term there isn’t an issue. MMT also states that because the dollar is a public monopoly that the government cannot run out simply because it can self fund. (4/11)

But none of those things are set in stone, the Federal Reserve controls the dollar and is not a part of the government. Congress can abolish the entity but it’s daily functions are private. (5/11)

Now we’ve established that the FOMC is not bound by the President, executive or legislative branches of government, we see that they can play Monopoly (literally the board game) with the money. (6/11)

Which also brings up a side note, why issue bonds? Better yet, why tax people if we can just print to solve sovereign debt? Except to create an artificial demand point and point of control. (7/11)

But back to the main points, inflation only isn’t an issue as long as the rest of the world chooses to play Monopoly. As long as were the reserve currency and can lock people out of the Swift system its possible. But what happens if the world chooses to play Scrabble? (8/11)

The outcome would be hyperinflation.

We’ve held the system ransom, now do you want to know how this ties into social injustice? (9/11)

Poverty stricken areas experience the highest crime rates. Because of that where do they have an excuse to heavily arm and deploy their police force? Who lives in those areas? Who are the most likely demographics to experience homelessness? (10/11)

The destabilization of the black community in terms of the legal system produces CHEAP LABOR and a self fulfilling prophecy for the system. My point of following the money was not that I would be able to fit all answers on the back of a jersey or even in 240 characters. (11/11)
