Thanks for the info! Going to say cheap phone, possible cellular connectivity issues might not be a good idea for me right yet. I’ll put it on the to do with next phone list. I sometimes do Instacart deliveries to supplement income when I accidentally splurge to much. Not having cellular in remote areas would mean I couldn’t work directions/electronic signatures for alcohol.
I’m interested in moving off Android but afraid of bricking my phone. Years ago I had flashed roms onto my galaxy s4 but these days I worry about not being able to get work calls if something goes wrong. How risky is it these days, also is there anything I should know ahead of time if I try to move to a linux os. Do they work well on cheaper phones?
So let me ask you this. If the U.S. “printed” 20T dollars (really just say it exists in an account). Then they start investing that in the market… The value of the money in theory would decay by 14% (rough math) but the market would thrive from the increase in buying.
That said. It would “hurt” the lower classes purchasing power at first. But the interest made off that 20T is enough to build every person in the U.S. a new house every 30 years assuming the average household is 2.5 people. At first you would be building new ones and repurposing old ones. But after 15 years or so, you would have the country all sans rent/mortgage payments, which frees up their money to be spent on things like resteraunts, movies, plays, sports, whatever it is people do. So the economy would be growing, while homelessness would be gone foreve and everyone would have a $250,000 equivalent house built/renovated every 30 years. Which because of the mass building projects and it all being purchased from one group… would likely be like getting a $400,000 in todays market. This doesn’t mean people can’t save and invest money to have a larger dwelling and size up, just that everyone would have the base $400,000 equivalent house in a restabilized economy where everyone is less stressed and free-er to spend money at ease not worrying about becoming homeless if something goes wrong.
Does this mean some people will choose to work less, maybe. But with automation growing the way it is, we really have less work and more people already. It would also give us the opportunity to build some new cities/towns built around more walking and less car dependency, which would promote public health and people not being as reclusive if they don’t want.
Idk, it would never happen, but I’m just saying it could probably happen and we choose not to because people think helping everyone is bad.
Edit: the number of stress based mental issues alleviated by this would be huge. Less reasons to murder and rob people as well, so crime would likely drop
Yeah my normal job is in Nashville. Instacart is what I was talking about on the side. Basically it is just picking up stuff for people like groceries and hardware stores and dropping it off. Mostly it’s Kroger for me, grab 25 items, drop it off at their house and make a few extra dollars. Usually can make $100 on my day off doing that for 5 hours or so. You know how far the trips are before you take them so if you want further drives you can do them but you are paying for gas so usually I only take farther ones when they are for decent money amounts. I have taken some that are 30 miles into the middle of nowheresville. I’ve actually delivered to an Amish community as well.
