  • The Oligarchs -“we are gonna crash the economy so we can buy everything up at a fraction of its value.”

    You -“Crash the economy that will show them.”

    I get the sentiment. Riots probably going to just end up bad. The only way they work is if you don’t stop until everything is changed. They can’t fizzle out or they don’t accomplish anything.

    But wouldn’t a general strike would just play into their hands. Also, If fox News can twist the BLM protests, they can twist a general strike. Trump will just blame his economic failures as our failures. So, using Fox, and a twisted narrative as reasons to not do something means we will never do anything at all because every thing will be twisted.

    That’s what inflation going down means. Inflation is the rate in which prices increase. Saying “inflation going down” means that the rate prices increase is not as much. “Inflation going down” still means prices are increasing. People are confusing “inflation going down” with deflation, which means prices are decreasing.
