The “There’s No Inflation” Checklist
Submitted by Shane Obata
Presenting the “There’s No Inflation” Checklist
1) Don’t go to school – if you want to learn then turn on CNN.
2) Don’t pay for medical care – if you get hurt then put on a band-aid and drink more water.
3) Don’t pay for transportation – if you have to get somewhere then teleport.
4) Don’t eat – if you HAVE to then cut your food into small pieces so it lasts longer (cough cough cough #McResources cough).
5) Don’t buy a house – if you have to live somewhere then pitch a tent in your local park.
6) Look at stupid charts such as:

7) Ignore charts such as:
8) Stop paying for things, idiot.

Somewhere a Keynesian is claiming that printing money fights inflation. Another is claiming that inflation is good. And yet another is claiming that it's all under control. And they all love their cushy govt jobs.
Hyperinflation coming with 2% CPI....sorry in advance if you've seen this before.
another necessity that is not on the list:
Dont take a shit: Unless you have stacks of worthless fiat in your pockets
Time to slam gold to make it look like inflation is subdued!
At least the dofus posting the "INFLATION" chart on Twitter was given a nice cup of STFU by fellow tweeters.
Embrace your inner Keynes.
Go drink yourself sober and bust some windows to help the GDP.
Then go find a Tunisian boy.
Even crazy leftists know that its all about GOOOOOLLLD

And at $19 per ounce for a single ounce to $17 per ounce over for 10+ ounces i have to agree

GOOOOOLLLLLDDD it makes the world go round!
I think you'll be really surprised by the hyperinflation can sneak up on you....it really isn't just 'a lot of inflation'. It is more 'your paper is no good'.....and that can happen fast. Whether we have time for the wheelbarrows is up for grabs.
Artificially keeping interest rates low can create the illusion of stability but those 4 trillion or so of non Central Bank held treasuries could come on the market pretty fast.
I want to know when the average holder of those bonds will realize that just because the rate goes from 2.3% to 2% that those bonds may not be a good thing to continue to hold.
You could see your hyperinflation come some morning while you are out bird watching....come home and you are broke with a wallet full of benjamins.

Gold ftw
welcome to planet usury...
Don't worry, record college enrollment will save the day!
Yes, because acknowledging there is a time value to money is so un-islamic
Well, if you have no money, then there is no apparent inflation.
yep zero times any number is zero
besides fool food is free
ITS FREE SWIPE YO EBT
ITS FREE
SWIPE YOUR EBT
Pitching a tent in a park? Been there, done that, had a great time.
Pitching a tent in your local park will likely get you overnight stay in the county hotel. If you have a beer in your tent you might even get a room with a bed
Contribute. Comply. Otherwise, face ostracism, guilt, shame, and fines.
'Murica
Zucchini Park, 2011?
If you get 2% inflation each year (per the CBO) for 15 years gives then you get a total increase of 35%. Looks like "Other Goods and Services" is the only category that plays by the rules.
Notice that the markets where government is most involved is where most of the inflation is (e.g. education, healthcare, housing). And people still want more government. Unbelievable.
You just start training them young on how to be herded properly....
Pitching a tent in my pants. Been there done that had a blast.
He said 'blast'......
tent + bicycle= inflation repeller
Government will simply try to tax both.

Anyone remember the Marathon Bar, candy from the early 70s?
If it were made now, it'd be only 3.5 millimeters long, at 5 times the price.
they still make it, its called Snickers now and is 1 Euro per (smaller) bar where I live.
it shrunk from 58gms to 48gms about 20% in weight just 6 months ago
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2524032/Mars-Snickers-chocolate-...
its not inflation though, theres no evidence for that.. http://red-pill.org/no-evidence-inflation-white-house/
Aha, glad a candy connoisseur could set me straight. Afraid it would have shrunk to the size of a postage stamp.
Guess what? Those bar a few years earlier used to be 65g, and cost half the price.
Oh and King Size bars have been banned to fight obesity.
Big Brother says the chocolate ration will be increased next month.
9. Look at gold and silver, no inflation.

The number one answer on the board for, "“There’s No Inflation? Survey said...Don't think."
An American, not US subject.
It appears Drudge isn't even pretending that he's not part of the western propaganda machine.
Team Red loves propaganda too!
I began to suspect that when incidents of dead chickens on small farms became drudgeworthy...
Quick send in the feds to stop that animal cruelty /sarc
Don't heat your tent, just do a lot of jumping jacks.
1) Don’t go to school – homeschool from old text books that aren't aimed at indoctrination.
2) Don’t pay for medical care – if you get hurt then put on a band-aid and drink more water, AND have a stockpile of medical supplies/drugs for anything beyond the bandaid level. Find a local Dr. Who barters
3) Don’t pay for transportation – if you have to get somewhere then make a big list and only go quarterly.
4) Don’t eat anything you didn't grow or raise yourself.
5) Don’t buy a house in or near a city or other high tax area. Make sure the house has it's own (multiple) water source, enough land to grow crops/raise animals, and is off the beaten path.
Or take back your power - cure infectious diseases including colds, flu, malaria, ebola etc

I should donate a few bottles of cheap vodka to the local homeless shelter...win a few points with the man upstairs. In the past i've donated a box of dirty magazines and a case of petroleum jelly.
Thank gawd apparal is still affordable.
Yeah, but the quality....
Politicians are in the business of selling favors in return for votes. Most people are financial illiterates, so they don’t realize they’re getting a worse deal over time. Cheap student loans inflate education costs; home loan programs designed to reduce monthly payments inflate the values of the homes themselves; state income taxes are a tradable chit, enabling politicians to grant tax breaks to large businesses in order to keep them from moving (and consequently claim credit for “saving jobs”). It’s all a racket.
Notice how everything the government subsidizes (education, healthcare, housing) creates unsustainably high prices for the people who seek those products/services. There is no equilibrium or price discovery, because the subsidization has created an artificial demand. If people had to pay cash for those products/services (or obtain a loan through the private sector), prices would neccessarily come down to affordable levels. It is the ultimate hypocrisy of our age, government steps in to help the little guy, thereby screwing the little guy.
Six years ago, two 24-pound bags of Kingsford briquettes was $14 and change (call it $15) at Sam's Club. Today, two 20-pound bags is $17.98. 44% price increase (6.27% per year), if I did the math correctly.
At least recreation is staying cheap...too bad I can't afford the gas for my boat or truck to pull it. But it sure looks nice sitting in my backyard.
Every time I hear some fucking idiot spouting off that there is no inflation, my head almost explodes. The list could go on forever. A few more for you if you think there's no inflation: don't take a pet to the Vet, don't pay property taxes, don't buy seed or fertilizer, don't get your garbage collected, don't mail anything, don't get anything repaired, don't pay to park anywhere, don't buy any machinery, don't consume any public utilities, don't pay for a business license, don't buy any property or flood insurance, don't get a haircut, don't let your kid get involved in anything that has an activity fee... yeah, no inflation, whatever. Fuck 'em.
And FUCK YOU Mr. Yellen, you dried up, whithered old hag of a skank, for down-voting me. Don't you have anything better to do than monitor ZH? Bitch.
"2) Don’t pay for medical care – if you get hurt then put on a band-aid and drink more water."
or move to europeto get free health care
"1) Don’t go to school – if you want to learn then turn on CNN. "
when you see evolution of the level of education in usa of children that go to school, how they are brainwashed to believe anything that comes out of cnn; the "don't go to school" seems the right thing to do & the only way to not believe cnn
stupid yankees can't see an elephant in a room
7.1. 'ply fer da wiffer
"Fart your own air.
Piss your own water.
Shit your own food.
Print your own money.
Dig your own grave.
Hush little baby , your'e on TV now"
Words of a children's playground song
Very glad I didn't grow up hearing that song.
I always have to chuckle whenever I see the media or government trying to push the "there is no or very little inflation" propaganda because it should be easy for ANYONE who actually functions in this society and spends money on life needs to realize inflation is much higher than the propaganda crap.
So do the sheeple trust what their actual life experience is or do they just go by what the media and "leaders" say? Pretty pathetic there are apparently people out thee who ignore reality they deal with on a daily basis as their evidence and instead go by what people tell them. Anyone who is that dumb deserves to be killed because if you actually believe what you are told rather than what your actual life experience is then you are not fit to keep wasting the resources of those who have a clue.
The Fed Cabal basically wants you to drop dead! Scam Scam Scam and if you believe it, your a farking moron.
We just had a few days of Monsoon rain in the dry, dusty Arizona desert and my backyard is full of green shoots! I'm pretty sure that if I just let these shoots grow, I'll have a backyard full of beautiful, fruitful and economically rewarding trees - maybe some orange, apple and pear trees, or maybe even some vegetables & herbs will sprout up. Dammit, I might even get a few oaks or tall timber pines from these little green shooters, so I can add a new wing to my house, build a boat or maybe even there will be enough wood to start a new homes construction biz. Thank you Bernanke and Yeller for teaching me about green shoots! Its good to be rich! Wait, hold on. My 4 year old son is saying something. Can't quite understand him since I'm drunk with green shoots punch. "They're what?" I have to yell at him because the little sucker is insistent that I look a little closer at all these 'lil shooters. He's saying they're all weeds. I don't believe him. Yes its true that we don't have oaks and timber in the desert - but things are a changin' aren't they with all that global climate change warming stuff. Maybe there really is a forest popping up in my back yard! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL ME THAT MY DREAM PLANTS DON'T GROW IN THE DESERT? Nevertheless, even if they are only weeds as my 4 year old figured out, I'm sure I can get rich off those too - after all, they are green shoots...and green shoots equal real recovery, then growth, then not-so-excessive exuberance, then bank-silly riches. Where is that little shit anyway - time for him to shut up and take a nap.
Absolutely Right on Inflation......
Wrong on Result by Most however.......
This is explained Simply and as one of my Great Professors taught me (Henry Hazlitt) Succintly in One Page ("Zugzwang") here:
http://www.talentseekscapital.com/uploads/3/2/6/9/3269986/zugzwang.pdf
Thus there will be No Hyperinflation, and we are in the Endgame right now.
The "Inflate of Die" Mantra is Pure Nonsense.........
Understand this, and many things make sense, including, but Not Limited to the "Buybacks"......
There is No more Wealth to Extract to the 1%.......
