Remember in the book Ninteen Eighty-Four, they announced the chocolate ration increased to 50 grams (when it was 75 grams last week) -- most people celebrated and praised the government! Sad to say, that was very realistic.
Has anyone noticed how thin the Cocoa Krispies box is? They're down to 9.6 oz. or something ridiculous like that. You can barely get 1 1/2 bowls out of a "full sized box" of cereal -- all so they can keep the prices the same. How much lower can they go? Any thinner, and the box won't stand up on its own! hahaha And a 6-pack of hershey bars used to be $2 at any grocery store in the 1980's. Now the same costs $4.50. What's happened?
Also...
Baltic Dry Index is almost as low as it was at the beginning of the 2008 Recession. Look it up. Look into it. The BDI can't be manipulated, as it's a measure of ACTUAL raw material purchased by factories. One clown on here (desperate to believe the mainstream lies) said "Maybe they're making the same/more with less materials!" Give me a break! There is no such thing. In computers, yes. A smaller chip in 2015 does more "work" with less power than a larger chip in 2004. But with everything IRL (like screwdrivers) it takes the SAME IRON to make one as it did in 1920! And if they WERE somehow making more with less raw material, the quality will have gone down.
The BLS (the L is silent) just creates phantom jobs out of thin air. They have no proof or basis for their numbers. They "assume" that X number of jobs are being created every month. They did the same thing back in 2008 -- they had jobs in Housing Construction being created during that massive housing crash/slowdown! But you know what happens when you assume -- you make an ___ out of U and ME.
