Such as when the readers of Trump's speech thought it was Obama's. Even though it obviously conflicted with much of what they held true, the rationalized it away in a manner that allowed them to think it actually confirmed their opinion of Obama and their best interests.
They'll even claim printing money decreases inflation. And I've even heard them buy that load of crap when Biden and Kamala and that press secretary made the statement. Incredible. Yet inflation staring them in the face and they deny there is any correlation. There brain just will not allow them to destroy the perception. There entire psyche has already invested so much effort... 10 years of effort developing the tool it uses to make sense of the world.
what are you even talking about?
first of all you were acting like bezos spending money is good for the economy just a few posts ago. So...why does it matter if it is the state rather than bezos? Your world view is internally inconsistent.
Second you are actually making claims that are not true according to economic science. You absolutely can decrease inflation even when printing money if, for example, you also raise taxes. The financial science here is not as simple and reductionist as you seem to think.
