obviously what is meant is that the dollar is worth less, but most people don't understand that and will punch you if you try to explain it to them.

People seem to understand inflation in 2025. But in like 2010 boomers did not. They were like “my first job paid $27k!” Not realizing that that’s like $117k contemporaneously

that's incorrect. the dollar is historically fine. DXY is the index.

shit just costs a lot more because QE inflated the costs of every single input. there's a ton of money sloshing around, just at the PE level.

trump is trying to gently crash the economy to refinance debt cheaper and he chickened out

QOL is so, so fucked going forward unless youre a richy rich

My entire adult life I've been hearing we're a service-based economy. Now I don't know what "services" any country would want from us. I know how economists would say wealth is created, or value added, but I don't see how wealth is being created in America right now.

People can't understand that at any particular point in time, a price in a currency is basically meaningless without context. Is a dozen eggs priced at 10,000 units of currency X more or less expensive than a pound of cheese priced at 3 units of currency Y? Who knows. But xo posters will proudly point out that 10,000 is more than 3.

Quantum economics: the mere act of looking a price causes a change in its state.
