That ransoms today are denominated in USD and that the US might be printing too many USD has nothing to do with whether or not ransoms should be paid.

The day the USD falls, ransoms will simply be denominated in something else and the same underlying collective action problem will remain.

This is just way of avoiding the core issue by blaming something unrelated that you don't like.

A: U should clean your room, it would be better for you & the rest of your family

B: FU dad, everyone knows there's no such thing as a clean room under capitalism!!!!!
