Nickelback is a great comparison to the monetary policy we see in the United States today though. The goal of Nickelback is to gain as many fans as possible with inoffensive music that many people find boring and extract profit. The entities that control monetary policy also strive to be inoffensive and boring all while extracting profit. Similarly, Nickelback seems to enrage more intelligent listeners that try to actually listen to the lyrics; in the same way, inflation should and does enrage more intelligent people that try to actually understand why it's happening and how to control it.
