Dear Friends,
It seems to me, the solution to all our problems is simple, but would require the elite to give back some of their usurped power… and so it’s a non starter. A real solution to fix inflation, is to cut government spending, and according to George Meynard Keynes, aggregate demand will drop and therefore, so will inflation. Housing shortages can be solved by cutting the regulations that limit supply. Sadly, millions of dollars in swindled wealth would vanish overnight, so that can’t happen. War, the US could stop funding wars across the world. Like the recently asked for 100 billion to Ukraine, 14 billion to Israel and 10 billion to Hamas. Funding all sides of wars… like a Rothschild. Crime could be eliminated by fostering a culture of hard work, ethics and an entrepreneurial spirit in the children… or a virtuous elite.
Inflation is becoming a real disaster for the working family and retired folks. Veterinary bills went up 100% last year alone. Groceries are absurdly expensive. Housing is utterly unaffordable. Meanwhile, energy prices are near an all time high, with our strategic reserve empty for the first time since it was instituted. Someone has to pay for the wars raging across the planet. We would freak out if the government gave us a tax bill equating to what they’re spending. So they steal the money from our bank accounts and paychecks, by stealth… inflation. Even as the Fed raises interest rates to squeeze demand from the private economy to stifle that inflation. Which means, the Fed has to destroy our spending faster than the government is increasing spending… to have any Keynesian effect.
Crime is a function of hopelessness, culture and following our leaders. When your leaders are as corrupt as ours are, they lead everyone else to be corrupt as well. Once the aristocracy demonstrates that crime pays… only a fool would eschew criminality. Especially when the more power you wield, and wealth you have, the lower a standard of conduct your held to. A judge can drive drunk every day and the police will tolerate it, he or she is after all, a judge. Which shows us in no uncertain terms, that law is for little people, as are taxes, and the consequences of war, while the profits go to the elite. No wonder there’s so much war. Moreover, war, abortion and state assisted suicide, cheapens human life. Making it all the easier to kill someone, if one needs a coat, because it’s cold.
The affordability of housing is like the affordability of every other commodity, it depends on the ratio of supply to demand. As government regulation drives down supply, even as the government opens the boarders to millions of new comers, (illegal aliens) driving up the demand for shelter exponentially, an imbalance between supply and demand must occur. Then the Fed increases interest rates to cut inflation making housing ever more unaffordable. It used to be, the poor and disadvantaged lived in mobile homes, now they live in motor homes, RVs and cars… if they’re lucky. Klaus the varmint Schwab said it best, “You will own nothing and be happy…” He wants the rest of us to own nothing… so he can own it all. Exposing the plan, make it impossible to own a home, by regulating the price to infinity.
Fundamentally, the elite’s first priority is always to maintain power, second, to increase it. With those as their goals, society and culture can’t but fail. The societal problems we have, are a direct result of misguided elites trying to use law, and their monopoly on education, to control society and culture. Societal problems require societal solutions as cultural problems require cultural solutions. American progressives all but eliminated cigarette smoking, not by law, but by cultural means. Even as their attempts to eliminate illegal drug use, via law, failed miserably. Which shows the elite know how, but since they don’t, shows they don’t want to. The elite don’t want to solve any problems, that would lower their power. Fear, distractions and having to focus on survival, creates a fearfully distracted people.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
