Unless you generally make it difficult to keep a fortune at some largest possible size fortunes will continue growing. Maybe we tax $1T at 100%, I don't know, but we are going to have to inconvenience some rich people if we want to stop living in hell.
I don't think we need to topple the system to make progress. But they can't keep that wealth and power if we intend to live in a better world. Letting rich people write policy is a bit like letting the fox guard the henhouse. I'm not saying off with their heads, but we should set a practical cap on how much one person can own and at a minimum overturn Citizens United.
Alright but apart from the sugar and the fiber and the antioxidants and the vitamins and the minerals and the enzymes, what has fruit ever done for us?
M2 is one way to measure the total amount of money in the economy. M0 is all cash money in circulation. M1 is M0 plus all money that can be spent at will, for instance in checking and savings accounts. M2 includes M0 and M1, plus stuff like short term deposits and money market funds.
When M2 shrinks it means there's less spendable money in the economy, so people spend less. Businesses tend to have to lower their prices to get people to buy. The value of a dollar (or a yen or whatever) goes up, which sounds awesome except for a few huge catches. Now it's always better to hang on to money rather than exchange it for goods and services. It also weirdly increases the value of debt, so anyone who borrowed anything going into this is screwed. If you're still reading there's other stuff that happens like it becomes almost impossible to avoid mass layoffs and monetary policy basically implodes but this shit is boring and I want to go back to getting high and watching the Simpsons
They are employee owned, though, and having worked at one of their competitors who is union the UFCW is ass. Winco might also be terrible to work at, idk, I just gotta say that union did not help me at all.
