......and that's the truth.
We constantly hear that the central banks just can't seem to achieve their arbitrary 2% inflation rate. I wonder why?
Could it be that prices just aren't rising as fast as the bankers would like?
Or is it because they just can't seem to devalue the currency fast enough to achieve said arbitrary rate?
Neither.
If we were told the REAL rate of inflation, people would realize the banks have been instituting an invisible tax aimed at depleting the wealth of the citizens penny by penny, and dollar by dollar. Those who pay attention can see this on a day by day basis. All you have to do is pay attention and look.
Here is a prime example we found today. It's small and easy to overlook, but this is how it works.
Today's find was liquid hand soap. Most who buy it would not give this a second thought, but that is by design as you are instructed to only look at the "New Handle for Easy Pourability", thereby overlooking the reduction in product from 1.89 litres to 1.65 liters. A 12.69% increase in cost to the consumer. Ya, there's no inflation.
If you start looking, you will see this happening everywhere with almost everything. But beware, your attention will be diverted at the precise moment in time to keep you from realizing you're being taken.......not TO the bank, but BY the bank!
Enjoy your weekend, and shop carefully!
