Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

That is the exact thing a malicious person would want me to think.

“Coercion is evil precisely because it thus eliminates an individual as a thinking and valuing person,” Friedrich Hayek wrote in The Constitution of Liberty, “and makes him a bare tool in the achievement of the ends of another.”

It’s becoming clear that the Fed, government and Wall Street is doing everything they can to drive a K shaped economy. So are they ignorant to the fact that all K shaped economies end in pitchforks and guillotines or do they have the hubris to think this time will be different by ushering in a police and surveillance state?

CPI is a (manipulated) price index. It is not a measure of inflation.

Inflation is an increase in the money supply causing an increase in prices.

I will die on this hill.
