Without nukes to keep away the Soviets I wouldn’t be wealthy

This but unironically

To be clear I meant this literally, I'm not sure how I could have made that more clear.

Ah, my bad. It read like the kind of comment that's usually steeped in sarcasm.

Not at all. But it enabled it. Or at worst didn’t prevent it.

Have you ever looked at a dollar bill in your life.

Who do you think printed it. Who signed the bill?

The US can just print money and receive goods in exchange of literal paper. Or just put an extra zero in a bank account and receive goods in exchange.

And if a certain yahoo decides they want in the money printing scheme...who do you think is going to send the goons with guns to prevent the government monopoly in creating literal wealth.

The government literally enforces capitalism with guns and bombs lol
