    That appears to be true. Although this long game to fascisize the west really was a long game implemented in 1971 in the business round table in a first iteration of this long game, there were previous attempts but they failed and this one succeeded.

    From then, from the 70’s, everything went to shit, including notably the value of our work. They changed inflation to understate it, and we’ve been taking pay cuts every year without knowing it, averaging 5-8 percent a year average just by 2008 under the old metric, and 2-3 percent under the new. Any job paid for life, for an entire family, by the 80’s, it didn’t. Now you can’t live as well on 4 minimum wage jobs as a family could off one before.

    They did a lot but that is a big one that goes unnoticed somehow. As if we could trust these politicians and institutionalists to change numbers honestly. Figures Don’t Lie, But Liars Do Figure.
