| 16:26 |
billymg |
the reich likes to define "inflation" as "prices go up", obfuscating the "why" behind "prices go up" |
| 16:27 |
PeterL |
inflation is a force of nature that cannot be controlled, certainly has no correlation to the printing presses they are running /sarc |
| 16:27 |
billymg |
so that the plebs who don't know any better can form a model in their head that says "prices go up means 'consumer sentiment' down means investments go down" and it sorta makes sense on the surface |
| 16:32 |
billymg |
when in reality, the pump was from inflation (printing) and the crash is due to their curbing of inflation (slowing down the printing). but the way they report the CPI pleb thinks "inflation" only started in late 2021 /early 2022 |

well, obviously, gas prices are going up because "Biden did that" - or because Russia invaded Ukraine, depending on who you ask (although some people say both, Trump would have apparently kept Russia out of Ukraine) |
| 16:36 |
billymg |
shinohai: UBI to help inflation! |
