I wonder every day how we continue to call our current systems and way of life “progress”. Everything cost more, products and services have diminished in quantity and quality substantially, and mental, physical and spiritual illness is rampant. I wouldn’t call any of that “progress”.

Inflation is a word used to distance the incompetent and corrupt people from their greedy policies and obvious failure as leaders.

It bears mentioning that what we call capitalism today was the mercantilism Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations to criticize.

You're right.... not a lot of it is actual progress. But the solution is for the supposed leaders to sit down, shut the Hell up, and let people work, do business, mind their business, and live their lives

There's not much in an economy that calls for leadership.
