  Are You Concerned About Inflation?

  by Simon in

  i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

  that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

  they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

  My dad left high school in 1971 and started working as a Mechanic. He started at $ 2.15 an hour and by 1981 he was making 23.00 dollars an hour. Then the bank of Canada said enough was enough and interest rates went from 6% to nearly 20%. If you owned money, you were royally screwed. If you had money in the bank, you were making out a bandit.

  I remember as a kid my parents paying 800 dollars for a VCR. Some of the purchases we think nothing of today were really big commitments in the 1980s. Free trade has really been our saving grace over the last 20 years because no one is getting raises.

  I hope when the vaccine rolls out that the supply chains go back to normal.

  All that really matters is if a nation can sell its debt and pay next to nothing in interest. A few years ago Germany was selling bonds at a negative interest rates and nations were buying them. They were safe. Greece was offering 10-15% returns and no one would touch them.

  The US is never going to pay down any debt. All that matters is if they can service the interest. As long as GDP keeps growing, its not really an issue. Japan has twice the debt to GDP ratio of the US.

  The biggest danger to inflation was Trump artificially protecting American jobs and passing the increase into the consumer . Where were the fiscal hawks when Trump was running his monster deficits.

  what do you think of them?

  should a business or establishment require that you show proof that you have been vaccinated before they let you in?.

  When I bought life insurance and they asked if I was a smoker , telling them to mind your own business wasn’t an option.

  With some visits in the covid ICU costing up a million dollars , I am pretty sure health insurance providers will in the future ask if you have had the vaccine and bill accordingly to risk factor.

  I think cases like this are pointless and only serve to re-enforce the persecution complex.

  I can't force people to be kind to each other.

  I am pretty sure US healthcare insurance providers will require some proof of covid immunization record when determining what kind of healthcare premiums a person should pay. All this right wing, my rights, me me me won't be able to be a fliipping thing when the invisible hand of capitalism decides to push back.

  Don't get the shot, don't want to tell me if you had the shot.......................... you pay.

  I have family who work in healthcare and in a year from if you don't take the vaccine or chose not to tell your healthcare provider, there won't be any super human efforts made to save your life.

  41 well, as elizabeth heard the greeting of mary, the infant in her womb leaped, and elizabeth was filled with holy spirit 42 and loudly cried out: “blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruitage of your womb!

  43 so how is it that this privilege is mine, to have the mother of my lord come to me?

  I have never really thought of needing the bible in order to hold my prolife views.

  I am a father. I have been in the ultrasound room. I know what is going on.

  Would the world be a better place without religion?

  i know what you’re gonna say---------everyone has a right to believe whatever they want.. but the question above is not about everyone’s right to believe whatever.. the question is very specific------will the world be a better place----without religion.

  think for a while what the world would be like without any religion.. no conflicts between islam and christianity.. no conflicts between different sects of christianity.

  (example; jehovah’s witnesses vs catholics).

  A year ago I would have said no. Jehovah witnesses were a death cult and there was some truth in Christianity.

  Covid has taught me evangelicals are just as rotted and evil and the WTS. Churches defying pubic health order to spread death and pestilence. Where I live the prolife headquarters is actually an anti masking church. Somehow the irony is lost on everyone. The mixing of politics, everyone is always mad now. Everyone hates Mexicans and thinks they are going to lose there guns. Its just me, me , me now.

  Fuck religion.

  Done.

  I can’t wait to see the Fox News or Breitbart news feed the First time an American is denied entry or service into another nation because of the vaccine issue. Welcome to the generation whose parents weren’t allowed to spank their kids.
