For those who might not be aware, the Atlantic is a leftist publication. For anyone who still thinks that the leftist media is just trying to represent leftist views (wrong as they are), this is should make that this is not the case. All leftist media (and a lot of the mainstream center and right leaning media too) are just a mouthpiece for the cabal running the country/world. In this case, they are trying to shift the blame for what they have created onto the general public. The argument being made is also extremely stupid. Inflation is not caused by people choosing to buy expensive things. If the writers (and presumably the Atlantic's readers) knew how inflation is calculated, they would know that. Inflation is tracking the price of the exact same items over time and aggregating them to determine how the price of everything changes over time. Choosing to buy more expensive items does NOT affect inflation and is in fact not happening. Regular people are being forced to buy lower value items and the general trend is for places like dollars stores to be on the rise as regular people have less inflation adjusted money to spend over time. The reality of inflation is the exact opposite of what the Atlantic is implying; it's when regular things like groceries become expensive and people have no choice but to buy them or starve.
FTFY
The idea that "The Right" is not also under the control of the Cabal and always has been is trivially shown false by a modicum of investigation. The Left and The Right were designed to be controlled opposition.
All the disagreements are contrived. They are just the two counterpoints in the predesigned Hegelian Dialectic that the world has been following for at least two and a half centuries (though I think it may have all been progressing according to "the plan" since the Enlightenment).
The real fuckery, the very worst stuff, isn't in where The Left and The Right disagree, that's the distraction. The real fuckery is in where they agree. It's the stuff that no one argues about at all.
Inflation is a contrivance, it tells massive lies. It is a metric for the plebians, and has nothing to do with real money. What you could do with $5000 about 150 years ago was far more than what you can do with the "inflation adjusted value* today (about $300k). For $300k today you can buy a relatively cheap house. With $5000 in 1860(ish), Rockefeller started an oil company, with all the fixings (employees, huge land acreage, buildings, equipment, etc.). That would likely cost at least ten times as much today, thus "inflation" is maladjusted by a factor of ten for the stuff that really matters. It is just one more lie of context that our "financial experts" and "historians" tell us.
I agree, however, it is so blatantly obvious that it is the exact opposite, that I suggest it is intentional.
Everything that is going on right now is designed to create distrust in our institutions: government, scientific experts, MSM journalists, corporations, financial systems, etc. When a story comes out that is so blatant, it isn't designed to brainwash or gaslight, it is designed to expose the gaslighting, to create distrust, to expose the system; the man behind the curtain.
This is exactly how the C_A has been running regime change operations in other countries since it began. We are intended to have a regime change. The details of the currently running psyop makes that obvious. The question is, what regime will we adopt, and who will really be in charge of it?
CUZ GROCERIES ARE EXPENSIVE DICKHEADS!!!!
They said all that to say this. You will own nothing and be happy. And notice how the accountability is always on the tax payer? Pure filth
Isn't Steve jobs widow the owner?
Yes, all the worst publications are owned by high profile billionaires. For example, Bezos with the Washington Post. I don't know enough about Jobs' widow to say what her political leanings or motivations are. The Atlantic, on the other hand, has been a trash publication pushing stupid junk for as long as I have been aware of it.
Off the chart lefty
Yes, it's my fault. I just bought THREE things on Amazon at the SAME TIME. Guilty, guilty, guilty. So sorry, Joey.
Dollar stores now five dollar stores
Any they have shot up in popularity in recent years as the lower and middle class keep being squeezed more. Two industries have been doing well in America in recent years: (1) The discount ultra low cost industry which includes dollar stores and (2) The ultra expensive high cost industries for the super rich. So what's disappearing? What used to be between these two, along with the middle class itself.
The things weren't expensive under Trump. Not only were the prices lower, but we had higher incomes and lower taxes
