if you ever think history isn’t an important subject just remember that my friend’s solution to poverty was to “just print more money”

Ok so many people may not know what this is about.  After World War I in Germany the country was pretty much bankrupt and on top of that they were being forced by the allies to pay restitution for the war.  In order to try to fix these problems the Weimar Republic which was the government that took over after the war decided to just print more money.  Because of this the country faced hyperinflation which basically means that everything became majorly expensive and the money was pretty much worthless. This is a picture of a man that is  literally carrying money around in a wheelbarrow because that is how much money it took to pay for things: 

These are some children playing with stacks of money because they were cheaper than toys:

And here is another:

So in short no you cannot fix poverty by printing more money.

My favorite is that there’s this story my history teacher told us (one of the best teachers I’ve ever had, really inspired the love of history in me) that once a woman was carrying around a basket of money and left her basket outside for a second. When she came back, someone had stolen the basket and left the stacks of money because the basket was actually worth more than all the money in it.

Tokyo-based photographer Danilo Dungo uses drones to take stunning pictures of Japanese cherry blossoms. Every spring, he goes to the Inokashira Park to admire the blossoms, and while regular photography capture the park’s beauty, the drones reveal something else altogether. When seen from a great height, the lake Inokashira Park lake appears to be entirely covered in blossoms! Resembling pollen in a river stream, the blossoms turn the lake a surreal pink, a view unseen by most before the drone age. (Source)

Although the morning air is still fresh and crisp, it is so tempting to go and read outside. And tea helps to lose oneself in reveries. Happy springtime!
