    Inflation however is a load of bollocks. It’s inaccurate to measure and can be oh so easily manipulated.

    House prices have been rising at a stupid rate for decades yet we had in the UK a typical inflation rate of… 0.1% for a decade whilst house prices out performed everything else because they just ignore it.

    Like how if your favourite brand of cereal goes up 700%, that won’t be included in inflation data they make the assumption you’d eat a generic brand instead that only went up 0.5%

    It’s all bollocks the lot of it, remove money it’s not worth anything anyway
