Classic strategy to hide inflation.

The big box retailers work hand in hand with the government and the banks…..they help obscure the threat in order to keep the public docile and unaware until it is too late for them to prepare…….If the public knew the level of inflation that is about to come smashing down on their heads, they would all be prepping and on the verge of rebellion…

A progressive enhancement where everything is becoming more efficient.

Last week, it was announced that chocolate rations would be reduced to 20gms from 30gms. Instead, they will be reduced only to 22gm, a 10% increase in rations. Life keeps getting better comrades.

The foreplay for hyperinflation. They will call it ‘supply problems’ or ‘shortages.’ In a real market economy, shortages cause price increases. Price controls are already in effect.
