      Have you noticed that people claim the earth is round, but your eyes tell you a different story?

      What the fuck are you on about, dude?

          Your patience and calmness are infinite, and I wish I could follow you on this instance. I too have been conditioned toward alarmism but have been getting over it, and I see your point.

          Like they kept telling us inflation was supply chain issues since COVID, but when you do the digging, it’s corporate price-gouging, from corporate farm to corporate processors, to corporate distributors, to the corporate chain stores. The only ones not making huge profits are independent retailers, who may or not have a higher or lower price than a corporation, on any given good on any given day (that doesn’t inherently make them good or evil). You’re making me think and the conclusions are certainly not ThE oBvIoUs ones. Thank you.

              Bear with me, I’m trying to learn how to think again. Firstly, where can I find quality information, and I don’t have money, so if it’s not freely accessible, I’m not getting it, and if it is, I’ve no idea where to find it.

              Secondly, I’m willing to hear you out while also noting Democrats (big D) are major benefactors of corporate greed (eg Pelosi not wanting insider trading laws, and the stock market probably ought to be illegal, in my limited perspective).

              Thanks.

                  Ron who named his kid after ayn rand Paul? It’s been a long time since I heard anything he said, and since Nevuary since I heard him say anything that wasn’t wholly selfish. Can you please share some things he said that made sense to you? I may check him out but I’m not promising anything. I’ve never heard of the others, but I hope they’re not just more “I’ve got mine, fu,” types.
