Today’s working class people have been robbed of their voice, and that’s made the ruling class able to speak for them. When our government says that “the nation” is glad to experience heightened standard of living costs to fight Washington’s adversaries, the working people who are truly being hurt by this can’t say how they feel. They have no voice in the popular media, they have no voice in government. Even the politicians who say they speak for the workers are advancing the military adventurism project that’s destroying the lives of these workers.

The inflation is not just the higher gas prices going into pockets of the oil companies. It’s also inflationary to funnel government billions into the pockets of war profiteers in the weapons industry.
Worse yet that spending on weapons goes into blowing up infrastructure and people in Ukraine, which creates new costs. So in later years US and European taxpayers then have to create more inflation by printing money to pay for rebuilding infrastructure that we previously created inflation in the process of blowing up.

This is economic insanity.
