Do you ever feel like you're the only person who understands what's really happening around us?
I live in Vancouver, for context. Everyone here is flipping out over tariffs, inflation and the price of housing. They blame Donald for everything, and until a few months ago, they also blamed Justin Trudeau. Everyone just argues back and forth about left vs right nonsense and then complains about the cost of everything. Even on stock market reddit pages, people just have no clue about history, how we really got to this scenario or how to fix it. A few weeks ago I tried to explain how the BoC (bank of Canada) buys debt from the government to print money into existence and they replied "wow, you really believe that?". I was baffled at the reply. Even people who acknowledge how money is created refuse to realize the true issue that's causing all the nonsense in the world today. All this is to ask, do you ever just feel...holier than thou, in a sense? Do you ever feel like you're the only one who understands what's happening? submitted by /u/TheHeaviestShow [link] [comments]
