I find ppl here are a little bit more intelligent than the general population. So I thought I'd share this video I've just watched. I know most of you guys are sick of "conspiracy"-type of videos, but I think this one is pretty good.

Hate to take it out of context-
"Those who have iPhones will sell them for the bits of trace elements inside of them, which will be enough to buy food for one week."

I bought inflation.us off eBay for like $300 and it was stolen from my account by some doucher in Indonesia. It was the sold to the current owners for $2000 on Afternic. I told them the domain was stolen and all they did was remove the sale from their history. I blogged about the theft and I get traffic all the time from searches like "inflation.us scam." I didn't read this thread it just something that always annoys the piss out of me when I think about it because I was well positioned for this inflation issue that is about to rape the US.

I watched the whole thing because I found it fascinating but several things didn't quite check out so I wouldn't recommend this video to most people. Several reasons:

-Too much conspiracy theory type of stuff. For example, they claim the government deliberately tries to do something when in fact it's just some idiot gone rogue. For example, they claim that the government wants to shut down natural food communities by sending in armed swat teams to food communes, or sending a Ron Paul supporter for further questioning at the airport as a conspiracy against libertarianism.

-Too many examples taken out of context. A few off the top of my head: A city in California that paid its officials 1 million in bonuses as evidence of widespread corruption. A nutjob cop drawing a gun on a speeding motorist as evidence of a police state (I actually googled this incident and found the speeder cleared of all charges and the cop eventually got in trouble.). Weaksauce red-herring examples really detract from the message of this video.

-Interviews from nutjobs. They have scenes of some weird emotionally unstable dude talking about how the end is nigh, and profile a guy who's stocking up food for the upcoming apocalypse and breakdown of society. Yeahh... these guys must be trustworthy.


However, some good points have been made:

Government employees get paid too much, but we already know that.

Quantitative easing is going on right now, but it's only designed to raise inflation from a nominal of 1% to 2%, not quite the hyperinflation that the video claims will happen.
 
Another thing, a bit more important. The authors of the video claim that after this hyperinflation event happens there will be a break down of societal order, people will be forced to barter for basic goods and will look like Mad Max. My parents actually lived through a period of hyperinflation in Russia and the country was back to normal within a year or so. Sucks but not the end of the world.

I lived through hyperinflation in Russia, well I was a kid. There are some big differences between early 90s Russian and current America.

- Virtually every family in Russia owned an appartment. There were no mortgage payments and very low utility bills.
- Virtually every family in Russia had/has a piece of land outside of the city, where they grow food, mainly potatos and shit. It helped a lot to survive the times when there was no food in the stores.


Barter was actually a common thing in Russia at the time. Also it was a really good time to start some sort of business, my parents were able to make good money by selling random things, such as spieces and vanilla lol.

P.S. there seems to be a lot of Russians on this board. =)
 
5 years ago I could get 65 US cents for 1 Canadian dollar, now they are on par for a while already. I guess in States they print money faster than in Canada, way faster. And hyperinflation shit is real I lived through that too -- there is literally nothing to eat. Potatoes 3 times a day.

EDIT: and mushrooms from the forest. You people vote Ron Paul in 2012 or learn to grow your own food.
 
I love how OP and doom and gloomers are from Canada. Honestly, if the US doesn't have food, and Canada does, you think we are going to sit back and not eat. All your potatoes are belong to us.

Watched the whole thing. Pretty interesting, just not that well organized. Just wish I followed politics more than I do right now.

What I strongly agree in is when he said that schools should be teaching students how to become entrepreneurs after college, not selling them the life of being another minion. A "degree" is losing it's value, and to get employed, employers are looking more towards the experience of the candidate. If I were hiring people to work for me, I would give a crap about their degree, my biggest concern would be if they did this type of work before, and how well did they do it.
