So, you’re saying that the inflation was the capitalist’s solution to ”too high wages” and not enough profits, right? That was one hellofa solution for the problem, wasn’t it?

Yep and yep

Too bad the people didn’t catch on! They are still running that game on us. The only way to stop that game is to step outside of it!! BTC forever!!

If this stuff doesn't get reversed immediately it lingers for generations.

I thought the TSA would be gone by 2006, but everyone still hates it and it's still here.

Isn’t that what you call bureaucratic inertia? I think if Trump wanted to eviscerate the TSA, he could or have the secretary do it. I would prefer Congress and the congresscritters to just not approve any extensions of the PATRIOT Act or outright rescind it, but they are well paid to keep it in place.

Just as another question: What do you think will happen with stopping investment in securities for congresscritters while in office? Do you think that bill will pass?

I haven't followed it, but I'd imagine it won't pass in a meaningful way.

They might prohibit something, just for the PR, but they'll still be able to enrich themselves.
