   This is the same narrative I am seeing in Canada too. Suddenly all the news feeds are about corporations making record profits and fleecing customers. Surely that is what's causing inflation and not the trillions of dollars the governm

    It's a bit sad to see the comment section here fighting about left/right, Democrat/Republican, and whose fault this mess is instead of focusing on the military-industrial complex.

    Before the internet, your access was limited to the people you met and interacted with in real life. Now, an attractive person has access to hundreds of people messaging them.

    I agree with this in principle. In reality, these grocers have been caught fixing bread prices[0] and not a single person has gone to jail. The dairy industry is also a cartel. Of course, they can keep doing this because the government is i

    I agree that the government deciding to recklessly print money and not raising interest rates when they should have is the primary cause of the inflation. But are the two reasons mutually exclusive? Bad policies and corporate greed? Agree w

    Money in my bank account cannot have an expiry date, which is something that would be possible with this new digital currency. The bank cannot limit where I can spend it, at least not as easily.
