Why does the federal reserve want to crash the economy and cause a recession just to keep inflation low rather than keep the economy going and inflation high?

Inflation feeds on itself causing even more inflation. Inflation destroys the currency and destroys nations.

Because the alternative is waking up one day to prices doing a 10x compared to the day previous and people losing their absolute minds rioting in the streets and killing millions of each other in the calamity - and that is bad for profits. Much better to just fuck everyone over for half a decade or so, get them all good and pissed off and frothing with rage, and then send them off to die in some pointless war. Because that is how you control entire nations of people.

>keep the economy going and inflation high?
it won't keep the economy going. they can't do that.

[Anonymous No.49560022]

the redpill is the economy is a runaway horse that the fed can't control anymore

they printed money non-stop since 2008 (should have stopped at the latest 2013). they were able to fudge the statistics by importing thirdworlds to increase demand and mask the massive monetary supply increase but covid threw a wrench in that plan.

the last car I had I sold for more than I bought it for, after driving it 2 years and did basically no haggling. people were saying that the market is hot, lol no. the dollary doos are worthless. same story with housing.

they will continue limpdick pity hikes until their fudged inflation number hits 40% and then panic overcorrect interest rates to +20%. paper assets will implode and chinks will try to replace the petro with their somehow even more manipulated currency. likely scenarios include minting a new currency, btc adoption(lol), and ww3

Because they can't risk losing the dollar as a mechanism of control. The US economy currently boils down to exporting dollars and importing real goods. The dollar can survive if the economy dies, but the economy cannot survive if the dollar loses its status as reserve currency.

Inflation high will also cause a recession.
Prices rise higher that wages. People can only afford to buy less stuff on an inflation adjusted basis even if they spend 100% of their money. Companies starting making less profits. They lay people off. - Recession.

In truth, the recession that is coming i caused more by high inflation than fed tightness. The current rate isn't even higher than the rate 2.5 years ago. They only just started quantitative easing this month. They've hardly done anything so far but companies are already starting to lay off. That's because inflation has been hot for 15 months now already which is long enough for the reduced profitability effect to start.

it would be a lot better off in the long run without a debt-base currency, which is essentially a scam that benefits nobody except the bank's shareholders.

They caused all this on purpose by dropping the interest rates in the first place. You need to learn this: every time they drop the rates the economy does well for a while and then there is a recession.

the herpes virus is so successful that eventually it kills itself off somehow. i can't remember the exact mechanism, but the point is its kind of like when marcus Aurelius' said you can only skin a sheep once, but fleece it many times. i always remember that when some rat from israel is lying to my face on tv

This is also how I know volcker-tier rape hikes are coming and shit is going to get worse before it gets better, nobody is letting the dollar die and there are a bunch of foreign interests that don't want to see it die even if they hate us. Gas will be 10$ a gallon, food will be nearly unaffordable, millions will take to the streets homeless before the dollar is allowed to even think of dying.

Because inflation is tool by central banks and the master predators to redistribute wealth from the middle class to the upper classes (it happens all the time from the middle class to the underclass via socialism on top). Inflation has ever been and is a tool for mental slavery.

>muh inflation is necessary for constant growth of national gdp
>muh inflation comes in cycles and is natural

Both are just side effects of its main function, i.e. usury.

Inflation doesn't feed on itself. It's simply the result of money printing. Which is allowed because of fractional reserve banking, so a period comes when people take loans, like now, huge money comes around. You either reduce fractional reserve banking or don't need to do anything once people have enough loans for their needs it stops. The interest rate changes create inefficiencies because prices need to be adjusted and wages are sticky and so on so it drags a 1-3 year problem for 6-10 years. A problem that didn't have to exist in the first place but central banks want the economy like that. It's actually awesome how retarded it is and how profitable it is if you know what's happening and how you can easily profit on this trade for like 10 years because of pure and simple retardation or incompetence.

>but it's manipulated

Think aabout all the economists and politicians and regular people that know economics and can't point out these simple facts. Great time to make some money

The Fed fucked up and created the mother of all liquidity traps at the same time as creating inflation. Now the only route out is to be 2000s Japan and tank prices in hopes future inflation hits equities and not CPI. They tried raising rates and velocity stayed 0 and markets tanked anyway, inflation kept rising. Now we need a recession to banks to spend their cash
