”What an irony it is that Ashli Babbitt, who was shot at Capitol Hill was an air force veteran! She spent 14 years fighting for "democracy" overseas on the orders of the state, only to be shot down by that very same state when she asked for democracy in her own country.” "The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man’s self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force. The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law. But a government that initiates the employment of force against men who had forced no one, the employment of armed compulsion against disarmed victims, is a nightmare infernal machine designed to annihilate morality: such a government reverses its only moral purpose and switches from the role of protector to the role of man’s deadliest enemy, from the role of policeman to the role of a criminal vested with the right to the wielding of violence against victims deprived of the right of self-defense. Such a government substitutes for morality the following rule of social conduct: you may do whatever you please to your neighbor, provided your gang is bigger than his." Ayn Rand

Yeah. You need to react to inflation. Because some people who were doing fine are now going to go without food. Or housing. Or insurance or electricity. That’s what inflation does. People at the margin are destroyed.

Wharfie, Don’t overreact to inflation data this spring Yeah, it's not like any of us should have been surprised at the effects of all of the following inflationary policies: - Higher minimum wage - Paying people not to work - Limiting the supply of oil and other fossil fuels - Massive deficit spending - A continued shortage of housing - A consumer-driven economic recovery (as opposed to a producer-driven recovery) No wonder cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin are all the rage these days ...
