Inflation and energy prices discussion... I don't see how exactly that could be put under a lid. At least here in a small eu country the mainstream is roasting the govt and the cen. bank for inflation and I cankt see them doing 180 on it. Covid was very different.

Maybe some ways of resolving the problems will get "demonized".

What I expect is increasing pressure to tax "the rich" and increase property taxes. Capital controls to close the exits too "Learning from the Norwegian fiasco". You don't need soc. media censorship to do that.

They rised the wealth tax by 0.1 percentage point and it triggered an exodus of ultra weathy.

Haha, loving it!

Just worried that seeing it published in Guardian, the main motive isn't to point out the existence of the Laffer Curve, but rather to rally some political support towards capital controls, and against the wealthy.
