  • Ok, if you want the conspiracy theory part, you’ll find out every public publishing economist you have heard/read about had an education at a college where the program was entirely funded by financial institutions. Meaning that the education is tailored towards “good economy = strong financial institutions” and “bad economy = weakening financial institutions”.

    That is a conspiracy theory. The statements above are fact. Conspiracy theories, for your information, are built around groups of people working together to manipulate some action.

    McDonald’s doesn’t work with insurance companies to raise the price of a burger. Credit card companies don’t work with their customers to increase the profit of their products. Market makers just exist to make money on each transaction any way. No collusion needed.



  • Modern inflation has nothing to do with supply/demand.

    We exist in a supply side economy, meaning that demand is always less than available supply. Yet inflation is a real problem. Current inflation is largely do to a variety of middle men getting entire pieces of transactions - credit card fees, payment for order flow market making, insurance, etc.

    Any business that relies on production will not see existing demand change. McDonald’s for instance does not make it’s money off selling food - they make money off of real estate and licensing. You’ll see McDonald’s jobs disappear, but the demand for cheap fast food will still exist. Local diners will pop up to take their place.
