“the desire for artificial growth results in a divisive inflation creating a rather unfortunate realm for values and a predetermined path for the endangerment and eventual extinction of smaller denominations.” —Common Cents
The formatting of ‘InFlaTion’ is obviously purposeful. The specific capitalization of I, F, T is to call attention to meaning expressed in this post.
- Instigated
- Fee
- Tax (Tariff)
Playing around with the IFT could convey mixed up ‘fit’, to having ‘a fit’, or just ‘unfit”. And there is also that center weight of a FlaT tire, denoting a flattening and ultimately diminishing and deflating of value and worth. Or taking it even further, the lower case ‘el’ could be interpreted as an upper case ‘i’ with certain font applications. Making a centralized theme of inflation something of a ‘fiat’. That mind boggling mind play might be something that I might include in a mEversesMe phrase of sorts or a Thoughtstrip. 😀
Back on topic
Although the interplay of international markets does have an affect, much of inflation is a self induced, or more clearly, selfishly instigated increases on goods and services.
Take these reciprocal tariffs for example. A good solution is to simply have them spontaneously combust with the latest gaseous release. But tariffs . . . bun intended . . . are indicative of the gaming that is constantly in play. The Crypto Con being an outlandish extension of this gaming.
So with these tariffs, does anyone else notice how prices have increased before the tariff wave has barely reached the shore? It is a common practice for large monopolistic corporations to game the market when increases are ‘expected’ or ‘projected’ or ‘instigated’.
There is another common aspect of price gouging that blossoms when any provider of goods and services anticipates an increase in the earning potential of the middle class. So with the much needed minimum wage increase, there will be blatant increases in the price of everything. That fact is already in play as many companies increase starting wages. —Unity Building Investment
The only true way to keep corporate self enriching inflationary tactics at bay is to adequately regulate all monopolistic sources. Although there is the automatic fight against any form of economic dampening safeguards, it has been historically established that such cushions actually fuel a thriving economy, thus increasing the wealth of all players. —Corporate CacoPhony
The Fee portion of this post is a general exposition of any fee that you might notice on any of your bills. Some ambiguous surcharge or multiple burgeoning surcharges or some new tax for road maintenance that was already included in a custom vehicle plate fee. Sales taxes also seem to have a constant upward movement. Or if there was some temporary emergency percentage added, at the time of anticipated expiration the interim padding shifts to some solidified conclusion.
Bogus fees are simply ubiquitous, and there must absolutely be regulation imposed through a government of by for We The Pupil—effectively eliminating most and curbing all. A few examples:
- Private (Pseudo) Mortgage Insurance
- Any mortgagee fees imposed on primary residence
- Unchecked rental increases for primary residence
- Just to make a payment
The market gaming that is in current free flowing fallout and being allowed by Congress to play on is having the ‘undisclosed’ desired effect across the entrepreneurial landscape. The chaotic havoc is helping the monopolistic potbellies to suffocate the small business community, that competes for a teeny tiny share of the market.
Simply stated, again—the US of A must maintain a powerful US Government populated with intelligently compassionate members of We The People, fortified with a steadfast US Constitution, to ensure a balanced and fair economic playing field producing a thriving environment for shared humane advancement, innovation, enjoyment.
