Nixon instituted inflation as we know it because of the Vietnam War, and inequality skyrocketed. It's a lot easier to strike with savings than with credit scores.

In this context they're talking about Democrats in office and the DNC.

Narrator: It didn't.

The retweeters went on to live in an even more dystopian future where money still exists, but with no savings to endure a strike.

So then just save money that doesn't inflate

Americans don't believe that inflation is a global issue. They think it's a new thing called greedflation [because our country and our time period are exceptional].

If you don't do it perfectly, it'll leave sharp edges.

Any business owner who decides to trust Musk again deserves what he gets.

This is the second time this week I've seen this argument:

• Religion has historically done X
• religion is bad
• why do you care about X, that's religious!

(The last one was about marriage)

I suspect that you're a religious person making a slippery slope fallacy.

Germany is pretty big...

You gotta use nonsensical folder names, like "Roaming" or "System32".

Makes you wonder if their scientists did it.

The first nuclear reactor was in 1942.

It's because the official inflation numbers have always been bullshit. We don't care if TVs and beer are cheaper, we care if tuition and housing are cheaper.

Their idea of stimulating the economy is forcing the working class to invest in businesses if they want to retire at all. The burden of a tax always falls on whichever side of a trade is less able to pass on it. In our case, that means the cost of inflation is added to your credit card rates, to your mortgage, and to your student loans.

We're the ones paying the bill, not the rich.

Yeah but are you in the fast lane

Whenever they do this I smudge the hell out of it, especially if it's a nice clean sports car. Maybe a couple taps for good luck.

That's true, we'd be thanking religion.

Your comment contains the flag of China!

You'd think somebody would have figured out how religion makes the masses more compliant, like an opiate.
