I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the USAID bad. On the other, Modi bad (despite potential for multipolar role)

This is the type of social sin God would make the Israelites put into Exodus for, due to their straying from the path

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Like many things people say won’t be done due to ‘3 branches of government’, yes.

Besides, don’t we have the hindsight of precedence?

Canada started phasing out its penny a dozen years ago and urged store owners to round prices to the nearest nickel for cash transactions. Electronic purchases were still billed to the nearest cent. The move came after New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, and others dropped their lowest-denomination coins.

After Canada stopped minting new pennies, it began recycling them for their “valuable” copper and zinc, according to a 2022 report from the Canadian Mint.

The labor market is indeed regulated by that supply and demand. That is a foregone conclusion. However, that doesn’t guarantee necessarily higher wages and thus higher quality of life, proportionately speaking.

That itself is a struggle over whether “general profit”, after accounting for wages, is reinvested for the social needs, such as housing, food and water, education.

Assuming that “general profit” (savings) + wages (needed for laborers’ means of subsistence) = value created.

And assuming wages are sufficient enough for higher quality of life.

But put into the equation the landlords, the shareholders, industrialists that dominate our world by virtue of owning the property that shapes it, who want to depress wages, if it means more “general profit”, and direct their savings towards more capital accumulation
