People spend too much money they don’t have and that behavior reflects amongst our elected officials who spend and print money like drunken sailors.

More important than that is the minimum wage that has gone up from $7.5 /hour to $17.5/hour in many states which makes almost everything more expensive.


So is your solution to keep minimum wage low to combat rising prices?

Prices go up because of corporate greed and shareholders expecting exponential growth full stop.

I know my 401k is propped up by private equity pushing for limited competition and massive profits. It's still wrong.

When you pump $150 billion Coronavirus Relief dollars into the economy everything goes up in price.

Inflation is driven by one primary factor. Government spending. Period.

And about 30% of Americans understand that.

Prices go up because the currency gets inflated otherwise it would be net 0.

Look at the profits of oil companies right now. Record-setting gains across the board while the average American struggles to afford the fake bread Walmart sells us.

Everything relies on petroleum products and the high prices cause farming, ranching and transportation costs to increase exponentially. Instead of cutting a little profit to ease prices at the pumps, they're tripling down and making bank while they can.

Meanwhile, our military bases are in the process of establishing grid-independence by planning underground microreactor installations on-site and stockpiling stable fuels. They'll happily see the rest of us collapse under the weight of the industry while they will have set up their complete detachment.

The big oil corps could be playing the friend right now and truly helping us, but they're choosing greed and immensely inflated profit margins. I'm pro-industry and always have been, even with many family members and friends making their living in midstream and refinement. But what the corporate brass is doing, is bullshite.
