ok Cascade

what people don't get is when prices on the everyday things you need to live go up it effects the working people not the rich, they don't notice it unless they are in those industries then they try and steal it fro you

why does it go up

the best way to get around these things is to find cheap alternatives that show only a small increase, like inflation. buy and use those products, ignore shelf items - make them obsolete.

cause the system is a big fact scam and Ponzi scheme and people are locked in, through habit

it's cheap cause they are subsidized

which things are subsidized?

farmers

processed food ingredients?

SNAP

oh, farmers are subsidized everywhere in the developed world

probably moreso in europe

come vc

bankers make good money on poverty investments

SPQR, why do prices raise when taxes are cut

but the question is, if various elements of the economy are subsidized, which elements are actually productive?

prisons and poverty keep a lot of pension funds stable

what is the source of the most subsidies

or sources

and what are the recipients

lobbies

hedge funds

no, i mean which productive industries pay out the most and are subsidized the least

on middle class goods it's stocks, but Buffett has me worried

which industries are taxed the most and receive the least

directly and indirectly

and which ones receive the most and are taxed the least directly and indirectly

can we say that agriculture is "not profitable"?

if the government got out, would we just end up with much higher prices and a lot of people who couldn't afford food?

accompanied by less production

the subsidizes on middle class products is convoluted now I don't know how to read them. They got tired of consumer advocates and created a bunch of rabbit holes - all I can do is keep an eye on what some people do and the price of solid items

all hope is lost

what do i do

just stop buying shit

reminder to download the koshertified app

use other items that are tried and true

boycott capitalism

like BDS - it's coming

they had to hype the Joker - no one goes to the movies any more
