Is it possible to print money and have inflation go down?
Yes, but it isn't guaranteed. It depends on how it's done and what happens in the economy.
#BasicIncome at a government level could work, and it could also go horribly wrong.
@groupincome lets you try #basicincome today, safely.

#BasicIncome at a government level could work, and it could also go horribly wrong.
@groupincome lets you try #basicincome today, safely.
But let me tell you something: the way #BasicIncome has been marketed to people is as a check in the mail from the government.
This method comes with the following pitfalls:
1. Conditions. The government will likely make your #basicincome conditional on what you post on social media. Offend the powers that be? No basic income for you.
2. Fraud. As mentioned in our series here, only
@groupincome gives a strong guarantee that there will be no fraud: https://groupincome.org/2025/06/no-eyeballs-needed/
3. Surveillance. To combat fraud in a large system they will decide to make stronger ID requirements and then they'll tie this government ID to more services. Think you'll like where that goes?
4. Inflation. Constant money printing with no corresponding increase in value in the economy will lead to even greater inflation.
@groupincome addresses all of these problems in a privacy-preserving way.

We don't have to fund a #basicincome. It funds itself. We simply distribute money and ditch billions of #bullshitjobs. The freed-up resources and energy provide vastly more purchasing power than we featured before.
Welcome to the paradoxical nature of our net loss economy.

If "DOGE" was about economic efficiency, they'd be implementing #basicincome and ditching billions of #bullshitjobs in finance, insurances, marketing, tax accounting, etc. ...
But DOGE is about getting rid of a few 1,000 people for ideological reasons.

Zoning board rejects Episcopal church s request to operate a #homeless shelter. #NewJersey is a blue state, but Ocean County, where Toms River is located, is one of the reddest parts of the state. The zoning board consists of #Trump supporters thinking they are doing their part to Make America Great Again. Elections matter. https://www.christiancentury.org/news/zoning-board-rejects-episcopal-church-s-request-operate-homeless-shelter #BasicIncome #Housing
