Deflation just means everyone is already starving. Deflation isn’t the start of a process, it’s the result of massive failure. Just like inflation doesn’t happen the second money is printed, it has to circulate before price inflation is a thing.

What we need are labor groups, and taxes on companies who use government benefits as part of their wage calculation.

In short, never try to make prices go down, instead make wages go up, and make competition control prices.

They sell the targeting, from there it’s simple for the advertisers to compile the list with the tracking cookies left behind.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q#0 Real wages are up since Covid was dealt with. That’s simple factual reality.

The perception of course, is that everything is worse. Because prices did go up, and they’re staying there. Which just means the economy didn’t collapse and cause mass unemployment.

Google has that list, and it’s for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.

Add him to the next case as knowing accomplice with criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. He’s publicly calling for a criminal act on an individual.

The sad thing is that there are a thousand ways to attack prices, or even just give sound bites that the public can run with. But almost all of them would upset neoliberal billionaires, so they can never be spoken.

You know you’ve heard people say inflation hasn’t stopped because prices are still high. Like they’re going to magically get better prices when inflation stops.

Yeah it’s stupid, welcome to America.

Everyone is still pissed about inflation, and her answer to what she would do better was ‘nothing’.

Everything else is just noise around the edges.

The government can’t control the populace. They’re going to cause riots, far worse than the last time. Keep yourself safe, it’s gonna get ugly.

Europe is going to have to get proactive about it’s security too. Just defending themselves from Putin and Xi won’t be enough.

Finish the refit on our boat, move back aboard, and sail away. It’ll take another year to be ready to cross the Atlantic.

Kinda sad really, the trans acquaintance I hang out with thought it was funny. Looks like too many people taking themselves too seriously.

Ukraine is proving it’s effective. And easier to transport. Just think what could be done with US manufacturing behind it.

Tanks are the modern version of land battleships. Just not a practical thing.

Oh you know everyone’s suffering? Just you alone knows the plight of the common man?

I’m saying the polling opinion of the economy doesn’t mean shit outside of political campaigns. They’re more tied to party affiliation than anything to do with reality. It’s no better than the youtube polls telling me 90% of people are voting for Harris.

The Doctor doesn’t call himself a pacifist, he just detests violence. If needed though, he will absolutely blow your shit up.

The other quote to go with that one was “Good men don’t need rules, you’re about to find out why I have so many.”

I’m waiting a month to see how public reception goes. Give the public a chance to marinate their response before I try it out.

Your post is a prime example of why people think the economy has problems. It’s entirely psychological and propaganda driven. The whining has gotten so loud, that everyone thinks it’s reality.

I still like the Doctor Who take on it. “Demons run when a good man goes to war.”
