Based on this idiotic logic by definition everything is transitory. You can semantics away at transitory as most would assume that means temporary but those increase in goods that are(told you so transitory) are now permanently locked in. The phoney conflating use sounds great in your bubble but its effects are crushing those you claim to espouse. But hey. You said it was transitory so your desperate desire to be right in spite of the costs to real people is inspiring. Keep on rocking CG.

I always enjoy hearing misconstrue, conspiracy, etc when all you do is quote or play videos of people using their own words. Yes it’s creepy that these people at Davos truly believe they know what’s best for me. It’s why I followed it up with this quote.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals

 

incrementalism. Starts with light bulbs, lawn mowers and . Just like the first income tax was only supposed to affect the top 3%.

Lincoln signed The Revenue Act of 1861 on August 5, 1861, and it taxed imports, provided for a direct land tax, and imposed a tax of 3 percent on individual incomes over $800 (which, in current dollars, is about $18,000). The bill fell far short of its goals. There wasn’t an effective way to collect the taxes, and the 3 percent income tax only applied, ironically, to 3 percent of the population in the north.

 

Call it what you wish. A futurist prognosticating about where they think the world will be in a flying car or exploring space sort of thing can be interesting and mind opening. A bunch of elitists colluding to decide what is best for others and that I will like my awarded lot bestowed upon me from up high is just creepy stuff to me. But that’s JMHO

 

Using your logic a mere 12 years and 300% is transitory. Just following your lead of arbitrary application of timelines in relation to inflation.
