Describe this as a picture prompt: We live in a clown world where the President can say he’s capping rent increases at 10% and the Fed Chairman can say inflation is “Pretty much in line with expectations” at 2.5%…AT THE SAME TIME.
Having to put a 10% cap on rent tells my the shelter portion of cost of living is >10%, now I’m not sure how they weight their numbers, but imo shelter is an integral part of cost of living.
The average cost to rent a two bedroom apartment is up 13.7% YOY. This isn’t because of greedy landlords like Biden would like you to think. It’s from crack pipe monetary policy.
The price of a ribeye is up 10% YOY. This isn’t because the butchers are trying to bleed you dry, this is what it costs for them to get by. You can put a cap on anything, but it won’t solve the root issues, not until you fix the money, or better put, stop ABUSING the money.
What they have done to my dollar should be described as no less than assault.
Water has increased 11% and energy 5% in the last year.
Gasoline has increased 14% in the past year.
⬆️ THIS IS MY BASKET. It’s an 80iq basket at best, yet still 10 fold better than their BS filled basket!!!
The SMS dollar inflation rate is: 10.75%!!!
You ought to be able to feel it in your bones that my number is closer to the truth, especially if you’ve just been scraping by!
I DONT CARE WHY THEY LIE!!! Our whole system is based on trust. Our trust has been abused. Personally I’ve had enough. I can tell you right now things won’t get better without change.
Things won’t get better if we give them more power to abuse us. They made us cut back on spending, but did they? NO. They are still printing at pandemic rates. And they are using it to dig mass graves. Metaphorically of course. In reality they will assist with whatever they see fit to help you finance your loved one’s funeral, who died fighting a pointless war just to put some measly dollars in the pockets of defense contractors, oil companies, private security firms, financial institutions, and media companies.
This is their system and they’ve got to keep the machine lubed with the blood of oblivious young men. If the wars stop so does their system, we will never know peace with their system.
I opt out. I choose #Bitcoin. Not just because it will have <1% inflation after the halving, but because #Bitcoin will make war UNAFFORDABLE, especially drawn out wars.
Nobody can print #BTC, more importantly no one can print #BTC to fund mass destruction.
Are you not enraged at our current state?
I’m only toxic to the toxic system.
