My neighbour/shooting buddy shared a few around the fire last night. He remarked at how little of a dent his pay is making in bills and maintenance for the past couple years.

He looked at me like I had two heads when I tried to explain to him what happens to peoples’ purchasing power when the government issues endless currency. Dude. Take half a glass of water. Put 20 drops of food colouring in it. The water is the money supply. The dye is your purchasing power. Now add 100% more water to the glass. What happens?

We are fucking lost if people can’t even understand this. Or worse yet, if they think you’re a quack for saying it. Omfg
