When money doesn't work people stop working. One of the non-obvious effects of persistently high price inflation is the degradation in services that are often taken for granted.

"Even if you are able to make a living and put yourself in a position to comfortably survive higher price inflation, no amount of money you make will force those who don't receive dignity from their work into the job market. And you will notice a decay in your quality of life as a result."

The State as Modern-Day Superstition: Unraveling the Illusions of Authority
My latest piece from the #Mises Institute
The crucial task before us is clear: we must challenge institutionalized assumptions, shatter existing paradigms of collective identity that diminish individual worth, and evolve society beyond the crippling grip of mysticism, coercion, and unreason. A brighter future awaits those willing to abandon the false prophets of the past while actualizing their own innate power as individuals to shape our shared destiny. But the price of transcendence is eternal vigilance.

True progress demands skepticism, critical analysis, and debunking of the many myths cloaking the state. Only through emancipation from falsehood can the politics of sociopathic domination be displaced by voluntary civil cooperation grounded in the advanced economics of free choice and sound money.
Intolerance of free speech is a dangerous thing. Intolerance in the name of virtue is a dangerous thing. Political correctness is dangerous... Society has become much more intolerant, much more exclusive, much less open, much less pursuing the truth.

The fundamental social phenomenon is the division of labor and its counterpart human cooperation. Experience teaches man that cooperative action is more efficient and productive than isolated action of self-sufficient individuals. The natural conditions determining man’s life and effort are such that the division of labor increases output per unit of labor expended.

You're 💯 right Jonathan. I just crossed posted the meme because I thought it was funny 😅 To quote Mises:

Practice voluntaryism ✌️
When we consider the market for new parallel private governance structures, we should take a moment to play devil's advocate and consider the typical strawman arguments presented by people who reflexively abhor the notion of private government. These are the people who go on and on about our "sacred democracy" but cannot conceive of the truly democratizing elements of the marketplace, what Mises called a "daily plebiscite."
In large part, "privatization" has become a boogieman for progressives, who treat the concept as a sinister plot for big corporations to run our lives. This is the mentality we must overcome.
