The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 2nd half of 2024 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

Inflation is slavery, bankers print money while most people work for it. I used to press economists about why inflation is inevitable, but never found one who knew (or would admit) the big picture. This is because inflation is a mechanism of enslavement, and the economists I spoke to were themselves enslaved. It's all very obvious to those who pursue the question to its conclusion, but most people remained chained since birth watching shadows on the wall.

THIS, is just another reason why history matters.
EXCELLENT work!

Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.

“Paper is poverty, it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.”
-Thomas Jefferson

[shingnosis]

Printing money is a choice between facing hardships now or later. Individually many of us prefer to face our hardships head on, but as a collective we invariably choose to let tomorrow worry about itself. This holds true for many things about humanity and society.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...."

Thomas Jefferson

It’s so terrible watching history like this play out in real time. It doesn’t matter what party is in power, they both agree that money printing is a policy to uphold, and while they all continue to grain incredible wealth and power, us working people are left steadily growing poorer and more dependent on them for the crumbs they throw us. It’s very disheartening. I can’t imagine the level of greed and corruption these people embody.

Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.

From philosophy to economics, this channel has given me much to think about

[Bombadil-ezns]

We've been hearing "kicking the can farther down the road" for decades. We couldn't do it forever. This was always inevitable. We're probably living through the last efforts to delay the consequences of our prosperity.

[MadnSad]

As an economist I haven’t read or heard a statement on inflation as profound and moving as this.

When the video starts with "Using the example of ancient Rome " you know it's time to buckle up...

[anthonygiambattista]

I have tried to make this point to so many people and it usually falls on deaf ears. I, in my lifetime, have watched the monetary system be slowly but certainly debased. And look at where we are today. Sad thing is, it is only to get worse.

[terrythompson]

The avarice of psychopaths and sociopaths is insatiable.. it's like a black hole that even light cannot escape.. and destroys even the brightest stars..

[petrosmaragkos]

It seems obvious, however, that both governments and central monetary institutions are aware of the inevitable nature of this downward spiral. By referring to them as being inadequate or even idiotic, we are doing them a favor. It is high time we started talking about real life perpetrators.

Everyone should be required to watch this video. Well done!
