It’s not phantom “monopolies” or corporate “big wigs” or “corrupt big shots” – it’s money printing. Period.
During covid, when a bunch of morons shut down a $28 trillion economy over a cold virus and then printed trillions of currency units into existence, a LOT of guys like me and way smarter than me warned this would happen. It’s simple math: more currency units are chasing the same amount (or less, since everyone stayed home) amounts of good and services.
Socialists like Clayton Tucker think there IS such thing as a free lunch. His entire worldview is based on a faulty assumption that most 7-year-olds know is not true. Then when the inevitable happens, he blames “big corporations” and “monopolies” instead of his own dumb demands to “stimulate” the economy.
Local liberal dumbshit Bruce Haywood epitomized this attitude during Covid, when he demanded the government print magic money for him to spend:
Now we are feeling the hangover. It was as inevitable as sunrise and sunset. It has happened all throughout history. Look up the Weimar Republic hyperinflation if you doubt me. It was the same mechanism, just far worse.
Unfortunately, over 50% of the American population are economic illiterates. So they go looking for scalps and the GOP will pay for this BIGLY in November. Trump’s moronic Iran war only made it worse. Start preparing yourself for Senator Talarico in a few months. The thought makes me sick to my stomach, but I can’t ignore the mob of chimpanzees screaming for blood right now.
