One of the more difficult aspects of working in economic analysis is the problem of rampant disinformation that you have to dig through in order to get to the truth of any particular issue.  In this regard, economics is very similar to politics.  The propaganda is endless and debunking it sometimes feels like moving a mountain with a teaspoon.

Establishment media sources lie incessantly about our financial conditions, and when they are finally cornered and forced to admit how bad things are, they then lie about the causes.  That said, I find that these lies are usually designed to do one of two things:  Over-complicate the problem so that people give up thinking about it, or, distract from the problem so that people blame a scapegoat.

    Regime propaganda is like those piles of horse apples on the forest trail…useful to feed mushrooms kept in the dark.

    I grab up things like peanut butter, water, condiments, toppings, even if the stock isn’t out, just to have a surplus.

    Good stock of paper items, cleaning, hygiene, batteries, flashlights, for when the comrades pull the plug on your stupid economy as the great philosopher George Carlin said.
