This is a known problem with a known solution, but our society is run by billionaires who can put substantial capital to convincing the proles otherwise. Simply bring up inflation is wrong and not necessary (outside of disaster, etc) and the US government should control its own monetary policy and not the fed. You’ll get downvoted and/or fed arguments from economists (modern day priests) about how wrong you are. And yet the wealth gap keeps growing while we’re the most technologically advanced and efficient we’ve ever been.
