And I feel like it's...

almost nobody outside of like the Ron Paul libertarians, the Austrian economics guys, almost nobody else ever makes this connection.

That it's like, this is the deal.

You can't be a world empire without having a central bank.

that can print money for you because otherwise it just doesn't work resources are finite and you'll run out of them and so you can't do that without having this monetary system but the cost of this monetary system is that prices always go up and up and up and up and that rigs the entire economy against the working class and the middle class in favor of the rich it's just the way it is when when the value of assets is going up and up and up and up that's great if you own stuff

That's great if you own stuff and you're selling it.

If you got a billion dollars in the bank, inflation is your best friend.

But if you're on a fixed income or you're a working class person, it just destroys you.

And everybody who's working class knows this just from living through the last five years.

Your grocery prices go up 30%.

That is...

you know, that's, that's, you know, people have this idea that there's like economic issues over here and then there's like social issues over here.

There's foreign policy over here, but it's, it's all one thing.

You know, the prices of groceries go up by 30% and families get destroyed.

Men swallow pistols.

Kids grow up without fathers.

That's the cost of this shit.

And, um,

That's what we're living through now.

And what we'll continue to live through as long as we have a government that spends way beyond our means.
