If you had to order these by net impact, how'd you rank them?

There is no more impact. Let's order them by which ones we can deal with first.

  1. fiat-currency inflation ✔
  2. nationalization of education ✔ (I'm calling this done because it didn't work out for them)
  3. administrative relief (first the obvious fraud, then civilian-use infrastructure)
  4. socialization of old-age support (wait until after midterms to pull the plug)
  5. medical monopoly
  6. housing sovereignty (rural areas first, then cities)

I like seeing people wrestle with this subject but I don’t think we have great answers yet.

This is a global phenomenon that doesn’t seem particularly related to policy bundles.

Environmental explanations seem like a better place to look.
