When in the last 120 years was this NOT a case? Sure, few last years have been fucked more than usual, but we are still living pretty comfortable lives. Inflation is natural.
I'll have what he's smoking.
What happens when spendings are bigger than income, genius?
Of course it's been happening for a hundred years that's why it got so bad. At some point water boills, sur prize
