Where are the workers?

What happens when you crush entire sectors of your own economy for neraly two years, and then, to compensate for your crime, you decide to inject trillions of dollars of freshly printed cash into the system?

Tucker questions what’s going on in our current economy, why it’s happening and where it’s going. Highlights include:

“What happens when you crush entire sectors of your own economy for nearly two years, and then, to compensate for your crime, you decide to inject trillions of dollars of freshly printed cash into the system?”

“Honestly, we don’t really know what happens when you do that because no one in history has ever been stupid enough to try it.”

“Political leaders devalue the currency for short term gain. In the end, this leads to long term collapse. ‘Debasing the coinage,’ that’s what they used to call it.”

“Every government devalues its currency at some point. They do it because it’s irresistible, you can’t not do it. If you do it, you get free money and you don’t have to raise taxes. It seems like a great idea, but in the end every government pays the price for doing this, or more precisely, its citizens do.”

“At the very same moment we have both too many workers and also too few workers.”

“That does not make sense. How can that possibly be happening? And again, we’re going to be honest and tell you we’re not entirely sure how it’s happening, no one is entirely sure.”

“But we can tell you, it’s definitely not natural. This is not how markets are supposed to work, this is not a good sign.”

“The incentives that we’ve constructed in this country, over a long time to be fair but accelerating recently, have a very specific effect. Those policies reward people who don’t want a job and they punish people who do want a job. What they do is they degrade work, they strip it of its inherent meaning.”

Tucker: We’re Back.

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
