The Tupperware Paradox:
If you can't afford storage containers that all match and nest nicely, you don't have room for all the random whip cream and sliced ham containers you need for your leftovers.
If you can afford to throw away the mis matched containers, you have plenty of room for mis-matched sets.
I believe in the separation of money and state because the effect of money printing is not felt until months or years later when a citizen goes to the store. At that point, most people will blame the store for the increase in prices. While the businessman may be greedy, this is a travesty because the businessman is actually providing a crucial service to the citizen. What's worse is the government that robbed the value from the currency will promise to fix the situation, accumulating even more power for itself.
And so, in a land of fiat currency, three things grow and grow: the power of the greedy and dishonest government, the citizen's animosity toward the entrepreneur, and the citizen's dependence on those who are constantly robbing them.

I knew the dog wanted to get some living thing out of the engine. I'm pretty annoyed that she thought the best way to do that was to chew on the paneling.
I'm hoping that she is done with her hunt.

In 2014, Putin secured his warm-water port (which he leased from Ukraine before the US overthrew that government) at the cost of SIX LIVES and then somehow resisted his secret desire to genocide Ukraine and Europe and to march on Kansas.
Then a few years later he became "literally Hitler" (if you trust the US military-media complex) and was going to destroy democracy on the entire globe. So we had to fight him, costing HALF A MILLION LIVES, rather than just removing all the missiles we had placed in Ukraine.
All we have to show for it is a much weakened dollar that the world is dumping as quickly as possible, because we decided freezing Russian assets was a smart way to punish Putin. Also, maybe a few more people are woken up to the fact that the US State Dept and the Corporate Press are not to be trusted.
