Inflation pisses me off. It steals money away from those who have lived responsibly and saved for the future, and it benefits those who are deep in debt and live from one paycheck to the next, always on the brink of bankruptcy. It's unfair to those who keep everything running and pay all the bills.
You know, it's clownworld
I mean, you do everything by the book, responsibly, work hard etc, what do you get? You get financially raped and you're told you're a chump, and that's it, that's clownworld, everything is upside down. Meanwhile the guy who did nothing at all, completely irresponsible, he gets free shit and he's given an excuse and life continues
That's what it is. How long will this keep going like that? Idk, maybe it's over and it's going to revert back to "normal" (read, no more nothing you're on your own. You prepped good for you, you didn't you're fucked and no one cares) within the next few months, and maybe this shit will keep going and it's just the new normal, UBI and shit here we come, you get along with the program you get a free ride, you insist on being a free man, responsible, self sustaining you'll get financially punished in all possible ways unless you're part of some .gov club, but even then, same story; you do your job honestly and conscientiously you get punished. You slack you cheat you get a medal or some shit
So now, either you go against the current and you get what's coming at you... Or you go with it and you'll get where it leads...
I don't think the ideal solution is to just "work hard, responsibly, etc" the old fashioned way, like a drone, and trust the system in the end, which obviously can't be trusted btw. And I don't think the ideal solution is to just wait on the couch for the .gov welfare check and leave it at that
In fact I would rather advocate an hybrid, as things are. You take advantage of the free shit trend in every possible ways, you take everything you can grab, you maximize your .gov sponsored free time in a nutshell, and on the side you do your stuff/build a source of income solution/system knowing damn well all this freeshit just can't last/can't hold forever. That way you are a net beneficiary of the situation, as opposed to just being the cow that gets milked to no end and that's it
