Why conflate inflation and prices? Inflation is not increasing at the same rate, but prices NEVER come down.
* Property taxes were hiked, they’ll never come down
* House prices were hiked, they’ll never come down
* Car prices were hiked, they’ll never come down
* Utility rates were hiked, they’ll never come down
* Food prices were hiked, they’ll never come down
* Television prices plummeted, we don’t need more televisions
* Healthcare costs were hiked, they’ll never come down
The rate that prices for all of these things and more is not climbing as fast, but that does not mean prices have come down.
If prices were to come down then all those raises that the lowest wage workers received would need to be taken back OR we’d see mass layoffs, which is a bit of what we’ve seen in family supporting jobs. And as those middle class people lost, the uber wealthy gained, and still did not lower prices. This was by design, this was the intent, the Fed was VERY clear in many meetings, which we all attended and listened closely. They said it over, and over, and over that they needed to weaken the working class. Then they said that the job counts were still rising, because they were, in the lowest wage positions, as 2, 3, 4 jobs which do not pay enough for an individual to survive, combined, much less support a family. And again, this was the intent, the plan. It was clearly and loudly stated over, and over, and over. I guess no one was attending those meetings?
The entire point of all of this, this devaluation of wages and past earnings, was to shunt working class wealth from the largest pool of it (the middle class) to the government and the uber wealthy (one and the same). The stories and reasonings change every 7 to 10 years, but the tactics (stimulation mostly, dilution of the dollar) always are the same, and the outcome is ALWAYS the same. They shunt purchasing power from the working class to the wealthy and themselves. Always. Many of us have been through this 3 times before. We knew what was coming the moment they turned on the money printers and the moment the wealthy got near to zero rate loans and even loans that never need to be repaid, the moment they began buying assets to insulate themselves from the dilution of the dollar. The moment they turned an entire new generation of workers into indentured servants and trapped them in rentals.
