Despite given indications that goods and services should be going down in price or stabilizing, companies are rocketing up. People are still buying as much and more than they used to, if not as wide a variety. Fuel prices are stable considering the last 2 years. Services are still being provided where employers can keep staff and working what they have more than they used to. The pay is as shit as it was, though, maybe worse considering how damn high prices are going.
So why is that?
I'm in the middle of a job shift, considering I work 2 and wish to work more at my second than my first. It took some pretty tough circumstances to even get a second, let alone come to this decision. It still scares the hell out of me doing it. Throw in the fact my second job is also facing hour cutting due to fiscal-year-end budget cuts, now is certainly an unwelcome time to do so.
Is that the answer? Scare people into getting shit jobs and staying where things are considered stable even if those conditions are terrible? Better the devil you know than the uncertain future? Modern serfdom has been bandiabout for years by ignorant socialists, braindead commies, and comedians. But have those same useful idiots actually brought it into being?
It's the necessary aspect of inflation. If saving money actively loses you money, you have to spend it in order to get the most purchasing power out of it.
People are buying more than ever because they have no confidence in the economy, and no confidence in the money, meaning that they are investing in assets as much as possible. Although it's the right thing to do, it' also causes hyperinflation.
When you spend money on something, and someone spends money on that, it's called "Monetary Velocity" if you have inflation-caused-price-increases, and you spend that money, someone else has to spend that money just as fast to get the last little bit of purchasing power out of it that they can. So the spending causes demand to increase, causing the price to go up, making the purchasing power worth even less, causing the spending to go up, causing the demand to increase, etc.
This is how you get Inflation rates of 100% and up.
The financial sector is actually trying to control inflation, because if velocity properly increases, the entire Fabian Order dies with 50,000% inflation.
That explains the environment we're in right now, but was it set in motion deliberately with the fake pandemic?
I don't buy into the Plandemic argument. I think that the bio-weapon research broke through it's confines just as DARPA explicitly warned it would since the lab in question was only rated for that level of confinement on paper, and it hadn't been proven.
Thing is, killing people to reduce the effects of inflation works. This is actually one of the reasons for The Holocaust.
Sometimes I call myself a Militarist Libertarian. This is because Libertarians understand the base equation of how stuff should work in a simple system, but rarely ever take into account how a system can be corrupted with malicious intent for tactical reasons. Libertarians know that inflating the currency and causing price hikes is bad for the economy generally, so you don't do it. But only an authoritarian can realize that if you reduce the population, you reduce the demand and velocity. If you steal the assets of the people you kill and re-distribute them, you reduce the effects of inflation. A Libertarian never even considers that, he's so invested in non-aggression that he'd never consider it, but the base equation is amoral. It never says you can't manipulate any variable, so they get surprised with tyrants do.
See, what the Nazis did was that as they were printing the full fiat Riechmarks into oblivion pre-war, it meant that the welfare state of Nazi Germany was going to collapse from a monetary crisis. The only way germans generally could keep the life they'd been leading was to either distribute more currency to fewer germans, or give germans access to more assets. The National Socialists knew this, and realized that a war that seized assets from the east could sustain the german economy and protect their political capital. Being that the jews were also a bourgeois as far as NS logic was concerned, removing those people's assets and the demand from those people themselves, also alleviated the pain of inflation on the surviving germans. Each death of each german may have done some damage from a large scale economic perspective, but it also meant that there were fewer people to divide the spoils among, meaning people didn't feel like the world was dying around them until the whole war started to completely unravel.
For our situation, this turn of events was utterly inevitable. It is the end state of the Baby Boomers population glut coming to an end, and the result of the Greatest Generations enactment of Keynsian economic policy. What we are living through today was set in motion by grandpa coming home and fucking grandma, then the state controllers and world leaders of finance utterly refusing to see the obvious for the next 70 years. The government has to start paying out for not only Social Security, but all the IRA and retirement funds have to start paying out. They're not going to really be able to because there is no money, and the margin calls on these funds are going to destroy them. When they can't pay out, then the Boomers have to start selling assets. The inflation has already been well underway, so they are basically going to start selling some assets for currency to buy other assets. Instead of retiring, the Baby Boomers are going to be bankrupted because nothing they had was worth what anyone said it was. This is why the Fed is adopting the equivalent of MMT with CBDC's. They're literally just going to print money to the fucking moon to keep the checks to boomers going, and then, likely, checks to everyone else. This isn't a pre-ordained and orchestrated plan, it's a desperate and panicked response to an inevitability failure.
That being said, going back to the Nazis, ... what if there were no Boomers? That's the real game here. What if they're just dead before they can start asking for their retirement? That's what the real Plandemic argument revolves around: what if China fired off a bio-weapon on their own population to kill off the older generation so they could stall the political collapse of a failed monetary system for another decade. But the problem is world wide. Everyone's calling the Keynsian system's bluff and they want their money back. They're all doing it at the same time, the USD is already badly undermined, and every other western currency is even worse. The pandemic wasn't actually done on purpose, but killing off huge swathes of the population is a good thing if you don't have to pay back your creditors. This is what the anti-natalism and anti-human sentiments are really about. This is what the talk of global population collapse is really for: they need it.
Did I mention that the Environmentalist Movement's ties to the National Socialist German Workers Party?
I still don't believe it's intentional, but it's not the worst possible result as far as the power's that be are concerned.
The plandemic doesn't mean they released it intentionally, at least, not what I subscribe to. It means the whole response was a thought out/planned response to the situation. They were waiting for the chance, and boom, a bioweapon got out, suddenly, their dreams were coming true. It's the same fucking playbook they've been doing for years, but this time, there's a global society thanks to the internet and MSM, that allows them to fully implement it. They've done all this shit before, masks in the 60s, killer shots mandatory in the 70s. Lockdowns in the spanish flu. They know none of that shit works, it never did and never will. Their goals with it, that's up for debate. It could be your depopulation along with a thousand other things or none of them. But it all boils down to is that they planned to shut down our world and everything that they did afterwards was part of it.
I think it's partly that. There was a moment when a whole shit-load of high echelon political elites were getting Covid that I think they really did panic. They bought into their own hysteria, at least for March and April. After that, they went with what the WEF had been pushing for decades.
