I talked to some dipshits on reddit, they legitemately could not understand why price inflation causes volatility to the price of gold (notice the price always goes up, and never down), and thye couldnt understand why raising the minimum wage would cause further inflation. They legitemately did not understand how the two are connected.
Because reddit is filled with adult children who are physically adults but mentally live in a 3yr olds mindset where money grows on trees and somebody has to take care of them. They are fucking stupid, but arrogant to the point where they feeeel like they are the smartest people in the room and you are simply a "racist" etc for popping their bubble and using logic.
I know a few people in real life who fit this description to the letter.
They were never made to grow up, they lived at home into their mid-to-late twenties, with their parents paying all of their expenses, mom still cooking every meal and doing their laundry, and the only thing these man-children ever did with their time was fuck around on the internet, watch cartoons, and play games.
They never played any sports, they never made any friends, they never dated girls, they never went to parties, they never took up hobbies.
They have done NOTHING except play videogames, watch TV, and smoke weed until they're nearly thirty years old, and for whatever reason they are ABSOLUTELY SURE they are ten times smarter than you are and there's nothing they don't know.
These people have no life experience whatsoever, but their entire identity revolves around believing they're the smartest person in the room, and any time there's a situation that forces them to confront they don't know as much they think, they either try to avoid it, or they get really upset and angry.
I hate these people with a passion. They are functionally useless in every way, but are also extremely smug and self-important.
You basically described 99% of the antifa/blm crowd and roughly 90% of the democrat party.
Sounds like your resentful and bitter about them getting away without having to work. It's cool. Work sucks, but save your hate for the niggers. If people that dont work bother you, youll love them!
Raising the minimum wage doesn't cause inflation, inflation reduces the purchasing power of the dollar.
Creating more money is what causes inflation. And guess who does that? Hint: it's not the treasury. 85% of USD doesn't exist in physical form.
I tried explaining it doesnt matter which causes which, the end result is always the same, erosion of the purchasing power. But that requires too much thought from the fucks on reddit
