Nobody gets fucked. Why? How is actually printing the money any different than just imagining someone will pay it back?

Because consumption far outweighed production.

Break out of your damn conditioning and think!

The amount of imaginary money is immaterial; only production = consumption and Markets determine economics.

In Marxist nations where everyone gets to sit on the beach and drink margaritas using their UBI and nobody produces anything, and if someone does, they take it, things get expensive fast.

Lots of billionaires in Venezuela, trouble is they are all poor AF.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

But you’re not talking about imaginary money. You’re talking about printing actual, physical, really-real, honsest-to-Mammon money. Physical dollars that will flood the money supply.

And you know what happens when supply gets massively over saturated.

You can’t trade a dandelion for shit.
When you got as many dollars as you’ve got dandelions, there’s going to be problems.

Let's test your theory: take a million printed dollars to Iran and buy an ice cream cone - ain't happening. Or, maybe, take a million dandelions, which at least can make wine, and you'll be able to trade for one.

You don’t think anyone in Iran would sell me an I cream cone for $1million USD?

Imma have to disagree.
