neo deflation

What is inflation?

Anyone?

Better yet how long has inflation existed?

What causes inflation?

Does it have to exist?

What is your total cost of living per day?

Imagine your total cost of living per day is one penny.  (Poverty is defined currently as one dollar a day.)

This means your cost of housing, food, drink, entertainment, car, ... All costs you one penny a day.

You can buy one loaf of bread, one cup of water, one gallon of gasoline, one day of rent all for that one penny.

Something unprecented happens overnight, suddenly instead of one loaf, one cup of water, one gallon of gasoline, one day of rent.  One penny buys one million loaves of bread, one million cups of water, one million gallons of gasoline, one million days of rent.

What would you think and say?

Why can this never happen?

Because you would not have to work, you would take your head out of the toilet and you would see that you are being screwed and you would be mad and many of your friends would do the same and the world would end as we know it.  maybe that would be a good thing.   why do we need a president?  i can't imagine that even random decisions made by a monkey could have ended us in a worst mess than we are now.

What about 1.1 loaves?

Basically, the central banks of the world are designed to cause inflation.   This means that you can never really plan for your future, you can never really stop working, you can never really think for yourself or say anything against the system that you rely so heavily for your very existence.  work today for the food for today.  and be happy.

as George Carlin says, "happy obedient workers, just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, but just dumb enough to accept increasingly crappier jobs, end of overtime pay, the end of freedom, the end of thought, the end of critical thinking, and of course the end of the individual and individual rights"
