 It's so sad that people spent years of their lives studying econ and don't even understand the simplest of things

 Reminds me of the “socialism is like baking a soufflé” or “making an omelette” – “sometimes you burn it or have to crack some eggs” (non)argument

Oops we cracked 10,000,000 eggs and still don’t have an omelette to show for it – better try again with a slightly different technique!

 🤣🤣🤣the best thing about it isn't even that they don't work, it's that before fiat and socialism there were obvious alternatives that existed, far superior. It seems the "regular consumer" has forgotten all about that and they just accept how it is now, and governments take full advantage of that. "Ah we've had a major fuck up the economy has gone to shit, don't worry it's covid + russia war it can't be the system!" And that's just the latest excuse...
