"Welcome to Auschwitz, dear visitors. Get ready for an exciting visit to the fake gas chambers, the fake chimney, the fake holes in the roof, the glorious wooden door! No, I don't work here. I'm doing this pro-bono. You're welcome, Mr Shmuly Bergblaistein"
@Mek101 @LukeAlmighty i have lived in a high inflationary environment all my life and it is much worse than people imagine. Not only it reduces your purchasing power of your existing savings, you enter a higher salary bracket meaning higher taxes which were meant for the rich but now apply to the poor as well. You have to buy the same goods at a much higher price meaning higher sales taxes. Your home becomes worth a lot more fiat meaning higher property taxes. Stock market goes way up and so do the taxes on the gains. At the end you loose on income, loose on savings, loose on investments, loose on expenses. There is just no way out.

Gold standard kept this under control as the annual inflation would be approx 2% max in line with gold's stock to flow.

I never stop being surprised about just how little can I ask of people around me.

Our society cannot survive these levels of absolute apathy.

This time, I WILL listen to the story...
I will enjoy the experience.
