If you're not mad as hell about inflation, we're probably not going to agree on anything that actually matters. 8% inflation is nearly a month's worth of wages, lost. All so the rich can continue to borrow money they'll never have to pay back, and the government can spend money they don't have and don't have to ask for. Inflation is the most regressive tax there is. It concentrates wealth into the already wealthy, and robs purchasing power from those who can least afford it. I could give a shit if you're cool with the fact that I'm a man married to another man, or that I identify as being a mountain lion person on the internet. That shit doesn't matter when people can't afford to feed themselves because a weekly grocery bill seems to regularly exceed $100, when it didn't used to. Touchy-feely rainbow-washed identity politics doesn't solve this problem, and neither does socialism. In fact, socialism makes the problems that lead to price inflation far worse, in several ways. I've also gotta say, I've felt way more accepted for being who I am in the community of Bitcoiners than I've felt amongst those who don't understand money. If you know what a Rai stone is, chances are, you're alright.
