The 2% annual inflation mark is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that allows the rich to fleece the poor and make us all poorer. Every year we all lose 2% of our spending power, and while it's not noticeable year to year, it is noticeable over the span of generations. Every Millennial alive knows that the Boomers enjoyed a higher quality of life, and we've been playing catch up our entire lives just to lose out in the end.

The next generation is going to be even poorer than Millennials are.

A new car costs more now than the first house I lived in as a child, which was a two story town house that my dad had an addition put on to. I can't imagine buying a two story house, let alone paying someone to put an addition on anything. I can't even afford a car.

Wages have not kept pace with inflation and I know that for a fact because during COVID when inflation was like 8% or higher an entire year, my department at work had a contract negotiation which comes up every 4 years and they refused to give us more than 2%. They wanted to give us less. It was disgusting and it really showed me exactly what the rich think of the rest of us. They hate us and want us all to suffer. That's why everything sucks right now.

Don't ever think that things are bad because of stupid people. Stupidity doesn't account for all the suffering the world. Things are bad because the people running things are absolutely evil and want to cause as much harm as they possibly can. Corrupt leaders want to enrich themselves. Evil leaders want to impoverish everyone else. Always remember that, and when you look around and see everyone suffering because our economy has gone to ♥♥♥♥, you will know why.

Nobody becomes a billionaire by accident. You can only become that rich by knowing how to manipulate and control money to a degree far beyond the rest of us. Things don't get this bad by accident they get this bad because the people in charge intentionally wanted to ♥♥♥♥ us all over.

I'm tired of stagnant wages

I'm tired of endless inflation

I'm tired of not being able to afford things I need, let alone all the things I want and can't have

I'm tired of every product and service being a business model designed to ♥♥♥♥ your wealth and well-being away from you

I'm tired of everyone I meet demanding sky-high for themselves but I'm treated like worthless garbage not worth two pennies to rub together

I want this whole economy to burn. I want the people who are running it right now to swing from poles and a cheering crowd beneath them to poke at their bodies with spears. I want to be in that crowd, cheering and poking alongside all my fellow citizens. People who are worth better than what they are receiving right now.

The inflation rate was designed to do this, probably over a hundred years ago, and every economist you talk to will ♥♥♥♥ themselves in a panic to explain why we can't ever have deflation. They don't want the working class to receive more. That must absolutely never happen.

Every percentage point is cumulative. We are still in the COVID economy because the COVID inflation never left. Those years of 6%, 8%, 10% or higher inflation rates? Unless we have deflation to reverse the damage, it's never going away. COVID is not over and never will be unless we reverse the damage.

I want years of 10% deflation to reverse the damage done to the USA's working class. And damn anyone who gets in our way. Lynch them all.
