Ancient Rome had a problem that modern societies have: inflation! We should learn from history and NOT do what Roman emperors did. They "blamed greedy businessmen,” explains Johan Norberg, “imposed price controls ... and undermined the Roman Empire completely.”

Historian Johan Norberg explains that one of the major factors in taking down the Roman Empire that’s rarely discussed, is the rise in entitlement spending So many people started receiving welfare and it kept getting expanded, it quickly skyrocket inflation and destroyed their currency “What caused the fall of ancient Rome? There were many reasons; disease, famine, barbarian invaders but historian Johan Norberg covers one rarely talked about. You say entitlement spending played a big role” “The emperors wanted to become popular by handing out free stuff to people. Originally, this started small. You just handed the very poor means of subsistence, make sure that they would but that group was enlarged because it was popular — So the group that lived on the public's expense grew larger all the time And emperors complained about this constantly while they were expanding it. Everyone from Caesar and onwards said, "Oh, we've gotta reform this system because it means that we have fewer people working and more people consuming." But no one succeeded. Instead, it was expanded all the time became more and more costly. So the Romans could conquer the world, but they couldn't do entitlement reform” “It just reminds me of what I see in the West” “It's a very worrying sign in each of these civilizations. Once you have an ever-expanding system of entitlements that you can't afford, then you have to deal with it in different ways. Well, some of them just try to conquer other people’s and take their stuff. But once you run out of that, you have to resort to inflation. Rome started to debase the currency — The Emperor Diocletian, he blamed greedy businessmen for inflation, something that we hear today as well. So he imposed price controls on more than 1,000 goods and even imposed the death penalty on any merchant that increased the price above a certain level. But obviously it all failed because he kept debasing the currency. So inflation kept going, prices kept rising, It only happened in the shadow economy and undermined the Roman Empire completely” I looked into this and found roughly 20% of the entire population ended up on welfare, it got so out of control they devalued their currency by 98% This is exactly what’s happening in America America is Rome and we’re falling the same way they did

Rabbi Jason Sobel explains the term "Synagogue of Satan" "The early followers of Jesus all saw themselves as Jewish. It was seen as a sect of Judaism. That's why it was called the way before it was called Christians or Christianity" "Why is that important? Because in the ancient Roman in the ancient Roman Empire, everyone had to worship Caesar and offer sacrifices to Caesar and the Roman gods and to the idols unless they got an exemption to be an official religion of the Roman Empire, a legal religion" "And if you were not a legal religion, and you did not offer sacrifices to the Roman Empire, you could be persecuted and put to death. The first followers of Jesus were seen as under the umbrella of Judaism. Therefore, they didn't have to offer sacrifices to the Roman to the Roman gods" "These were gentile converts to Judaism that were persecuting the gentile Christians because they felt if they were going to claim to worship the God of Israel and claim to follow the Jewish scriptures and claim the Old Testament scriptures, they should convert and keep the law. And because they wouldn't do what they did, they wind up persecuting them as a result. And therefore they're called the synagogue of Satan" "Because synagogue isn't just a Jewish word. It just means a gathering number one. And and and Satan is the accuser. So these are accusing the church before the Roman authorities of breaking Roman law and therefore they're being persecuted as a result of it"

“We Are Rome” 🏛️ There is a long historical memory of conflict between the jewish people and the ancient Roman Empire. That memory comes mainly from events in the 1st–2nd centuries CE that were extremely traumatic in jewish history. 1. Destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple🕍 In 70 CE, Roman forces led by Titus crushed a jewish revolt and destroyed Second Temple in Jerusalem. •The Temple was the center of jewish religious life. •Its destruction was devastating spiritually, culturally, and politically. •jews were killed, enslaved, or displaced. This event is still mourned annually during Tisha B’Av. 2. Jewish–Roman Wars⚔️ There were several major revolts against Roman rule: •First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE) •Kitos War (115–117 CE) •Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–136 CE) After the Bar Kokhba revolt, Emperor Hadrian: •Banned many jewish practices •Renamed the province Judea to Syria Palaestina •Barred jews from entering Jerusalem 3. Exile and Diaspora 🧳 Roman policies contributed to the wider jewish diaspora, spreading jewish communities across the Mediterranean and beyond. Many Jewish traditions interpret Rome as a symbol of exile and oppression in that period. 4. “Rome” in jewish texts ☦️ In some rabbinic writings, “Rome” became a symbolic name for later oppressive empires (and sometimes even medieval Christian powers). So references to Rome in jewish literature aren’t always about the literal ancient Romans. 1/3

New York Times Writer is Astounded Kamala Harris Would Come Out with Soviet-Style Price Controls "It's impossible to exaggerate how bad this policy is..." New York Times writer David Brooks slammed Kamala Harris' economic policies and expressed disbelief that she would advocate for price controls. "Catherine [Rampell] had a good line that if your opponent’s calling you a communist, don’t lead with price controls," Brooks said. "We have seen it happen in Venezuela and the Soviet Union." "Price controls do not work." Brooks argued the worst is over when it comes to inflation, yet Kamala Harris would make things worse by pursuing economically illiterate policies. "But the core problem is it expresses a level of economic illiteracy that is surprising in a responsible Democratic candidate." "The idea behind 'greedflation' is we had all those years of low inflation and I guess people were not greedy then. Then magically they all get greedy and start price gouging at Kroger, Harris Teeter, HEB, and there’s this massive price gouging." "That’s not why inflation surged. Inflation surged because of the pandemic, which screwed up supply chains and productivity. The Biden Administration overstimulated the economy, too many dollars chasing too few goods..." As Vice President, Kamala Harris supported every bit of Bidenomics, thereby making it Kamalanomics. Furthermore, she passed the tie-breaking votes in the Senate on Biden's signature pieces of economic legislation, including the Inflation Reduction Act and the American Rescue Plan. The worst thing about Kamala Harris blaming "greedy" corporations for inflation is she is probably more guilty than any other elected official for causing it in the first place.
