- gtvwill 5y agoLol the same way we control everything else? Through treaties and legislation. Look I'm not saying it's easy and tbh it's not the path I'd take (I'm more for print money give everyone a living wage rather than act using scarcity). I'm just saying given the way economic theory exists atm it's one of the two glaring options for leveling out and fixing the shit levels of inequality that exist at the moment. Or do you think the current situation is acceptable and should be allowed to continue?

- hamburgerwah 5y agoI would say that sovereign countries have the right to determine their own policies. If by "We" you mean the United States we are a massive loser in treaties, we give away much much more than we get. We exert power by having a military 10 times as large as anyone else (and mostly that large by virtue of saving the western world from a Nazi dictatorship) but that margin will cease to exist within the decade and Nazi China will have the worlds largest military and exert the most power and the world will be MUCH worse for it.
