And this is why I'm going to do morning streams for a while to talk about the markets
I know most people think it's boring, but it's actually vital to understand if we're going to beat back these fascists
I'll try to make it as fun and interesting as possible

One reason why voters don't understand economic policy is because the media has aggressively misinformed them for decades to align with whatever the GOP wants at the time.
Every claim here is baseless and has been disproven by the last 30 years of real-world data, yet WaPo spits it out as dogma.

This is NOT true
Fiscal and monetary policy are crucial to decisions that directly effect you
Staying disconnected helps the oppressors
These are bonds issued by local governments to pay for things like sidewalks or schools
Do you know what's going on with your local muni bonds?
If not, you should!
Your local county needs a million dollars for new sidewalks
They issue bonds with a 4% return to pay for it
People buy the bonds, giving your county the money to pay for the sidewalk, and get their money back with 4% profit a year later
Munis pay for projects and provide income
With your tax money!
Understanding this stuff is understanding how your money is being spent in your community
This isn't pie in the sky fiscal theory
This is about your life, your money, and your community
You deserve to understand these things to help you, your family, and your community
It's been kept from you by convincing you it's too boring or too complicated or only for the rich
But it's the system we have that our lives are built around
We cannot change it into something more positive if we refuse to understand it and use it to our advantage
