If you look at economic data over the last 9 nine years, particularly inflation/CPI data, you will see unmatched stability (0-3%) as far back as 1914. Now for sure new tools are being utilized unseen before 2012 to create such conditions. The question is, which tools, and how much human agency is being stripped away? If you look at how for instance precious metals were lowered in price dramatically from 2013 - 2015, and how financiers sold them with rigor. How Trump took office in early 2017 and inflation halted from a 2.7% high. Illnesses, from a personal level, and living costs skyrocketing in early to mid 2018, inflation yet again teetering on 3%. And, early 2020 inflation rearing its head again to be drowned by COVID-19. Questions start to arise. For sure the last 4-5 years have been obscure, to say the least.

As you know, I'm a consistent watcher of this content.

So, I notice things such as MacKenzie saying, "OK" when coming back on camera after most prerecorded packages.

What is the reason for this?

Does she even know she's picked up that habit?

[knockonwall]

Lol imagine being so mad you try to impeach a president after he's outta office.

If the rumours of Apple 🍏 getting involved in crypto are true, this could be huge indeed for Bitcoin Eth and Łitecoin.

Very tasty 😋
