PSA: remember, if you see someone stealing essentials like groceries or whatever: no, you didn’t.

There are food banks, don’t steal.

Sometimes they run out. Or are 2 hours away. Or are in a bad part of town. There are tons of reasons why someone would be desperate enough to steal food.

Nobody’s encouraging it. All we’re saying is this: as a direct result of the deficiencies inherent to our society and the socioeconomic structure it perpetrates, some people need food but can’t get it through legal means. Categorically refusing to make an exception for exceptional cases is implicitly saying that those people deserve to die.

Corporations that price gouge basic essentials deserve it. People need food and clean water. Price gouging essentials should be illegal. This inflation isn’t natural anymore at this point; it’s just pure greed on a person’s right to live.

Inflation was never natural. What’s happening now is its logical result, not an exception.

Of course inflation is natural. Unless we are all gonna share the same $100 forever it has to happen at least without some sort of perfect foresight so the correct amount of money can be issued.

What isn’t natural is somehow people are convinced they should be held hostage by business.

When somehow we are convinced taking out a loan that you have to pay on for eternity (selling stock) that is not natural.

When somehow limited resources (our time) has less value then an unlimited resource (money) that is not natural.

It sounds like you’re saying why you think inflation is a good idea, not why it’s natural.

Why not share the same $100 forever? As the value of $100 increases, we can just divide it up into smaller and smaller bills.

We should be trading our limited time for another limited resource, not an unlimited one. At the time of the trade they’re always equal, but labor in the past should be worth more than that, not less.
