Living In A Bubble Of Money

I had a more interesting post in mind as I continue to organize my garage, but I wanted to keep pulling the thread I developed yesterday wherein I posited that printed money has a corrosive influence on our culture. 

Right now, the Normals don't dive into the culture of Tekashi 6ix9ine because there's no reason to do so. Sure, we know that it exists and is probably pretty awful, but we don't understand it. We might if we couldn't print money and had to pay for it.

 Below is a racial dot map of Los Angeles and a crime density map of same.

The racial dot map for the center of LA. Green is black, orange is Hispanic, red is Asian and blue is white.

The crime map for Los Angeles. As usual, the black neighborhoods are by far the worst.

Everyone familiar with Los Angeles knows you don't go to Inglewood, Compton or Crenshaw. Then again, there's no need to go there. It's not like they've got anything you want or need that you can't easily get elsewhere.

We also know things are pretty bad there. All that nasty violence and poverty! We really must do something about it, you know. Let's vote for more social spending. That will make us feel better.

We also know that their culture is wretched. We don't consume it, of course and why would we? So much dreadful chanting and pounding and posing. Horrible. Again, we don't really need to know anything about it, do we? It's all kept securely in their neighborhoods and, other than the occasional and justified rioting, it stays there.

We keep it in check with a wall of printed money.

This keeps us safe and it costs us nothing.

When people talk about how we live in bubbles, they usually mean that we live in informational bubbles because we only consume media that agrees with our positions. I would suggest that those bubbles are made of money. We don't need to explore and understand because there's no real cost to us when communities self-destruct.

That wall of printed money lets us pose and preen in the name of Social Justice while real people's lives are destroyed. We don't understand them and we don't need to understand them. We can pretend to care by voting for more social spending. We won't have to pay for that spending ourselves, because it all comes in the form of government debt which is paid for by printing money. We feel good and don't have to pay a price for it.

Best of all, that wall of printed money means we don't have to do the hard work and face the fire hoses and German shepherds of anger from the progressives as we strongly defend the married family and traditional sexual morality. That's the real source of the problems and we'd know this if we ever looked into it. We don't have to because we can just throw borrowed, printed money at it.

Yep, we're living on Easy Street, man. It's all smooth and safe here.
