288. The Fiat Standard Lecture 7: Fiat Life

286. The Fiat Standard: Lecture 5: Fiat Balances: Universal Debt Slavery

285. The Fiat Standard: Lecture 4 - Fiat Mining

Lecture 4 of The Fiat Standard explains how fiat is mined through credit creation, incentivizing everyone to get into debt, causing prices to rise, which is covered up with the nonsensical CPI.

Talking about going plant based requiring an increase of food production due to lower calorific content and therefore destroying the eco system.....where do you think the Soy and food to feed the animals we raise to consume comes from? That requires land and water + the land to house the animals in torturous conditions too.
