Inflation is actually good and a sign of recovery.

Probably because effects of inflation can be observed IRL. More pressing concerns are why items which grow too expensive are removed from consumer basket calculations and why items whose prices are (temporarily) biased by government subsidy are still included in consumer basket calculations.

Central banks are telling companies not to raise wages to match inflation. Inflation continues at an unprecedented rate in recent history. Their goal is to squeeze the middle class into poverty.

Sickens me, BoE employees shared something like £23 mil in bonuses this year and these are the same people who say "Don't ask for a pay rise, it is bad for inflation". Fucking fuckers the lot of them.

Its the most massive power grab we will ever likely experience in our lifetime. It is all happening under our noses because the people in charge of government and media are in on it.

FUck sorry
So during the time of Julius Caesar, the republic itself was in trouble, and when he finally beat his rivals and asserted himself protector/prime consul etc, he was pushing hard to become the very thing he told his adversaries he had no interest in becoming: dictator.
The Roman Republic essentially ends with Caesar, and while the senate fights back and kills him, Rome doesn't keep a republic and the next like 5 emperors usher in a period of unprecedented prosperity and peace (this was the era of the pax romana).
So I actually think if we lose democracy because 'the people' got into the coffers (we've spent ourselves to ruin), it's possible we simply lose the systems but go on to prosperity.
