29 Types of Inflation to Watch Out For

How many have you noticed so far?

For this week’s article, we’re going to have a bit of fun and play a quiz.

But first, a crazy story:

When I was a teenager, I got a job at Tim Horton’s, which is this wretched Canadian coffee-and-donut chain owned by globalist vulture capitalists.

For years, Timmies had been baking their own gigantic donuts onsite, but they’d just switched to centralized donut production in a mega-factory, with local stores receiving huge cardboard boxes full of these little frozen turds to “bake” in what was essentially a giant microwave.

The new donuts were much, much smaller than the old ones.

This was not in any way debatable — on my first day at work, I held an OG blueberry fritter in one hand and an emaciated new blueberry fritter in the other. V2 was a good 30% smaller.

This was the moment when I first realized that shareholders are demon-possessed sociopaths:

The manager handed out these little pieces of paper for us to stand up beside our coffee stations. It was a script of canned responses for what to say when people inevitably complained about the smaller donut sizes.

It went something like this…

Customer: “The donuts are smaller.”

You say: “No, it just looks like that from where you’re standing.”

Customer: “The donuts are smaller.”

You say: “The donuts are actually still the same size.”

I looked at my manager and said, “But this is a lie.”

She mumbled something and waddled off.

I had recently become a Christian and decided there was no way I going to co-conspire with the devil even if it meant I got fired, so I made a joke of it.

A customer would come in and say angrily, “Hey, why are your donuts smaller today?”

Each time, I held up the piece of paper, shot them a conspiratorial grin, and said:

“I’ve been commanded to read you the following: No sir, it just looks like they’re smaller… because they are smaller.”

People got quite a kick out of reading the evil responses I was supposed to give to their objections.

I got dozens and dozens of laughs — and loads of tips — and managed to avoid losing my job.

Within a week, people had adjusted to the donut shrinkflation, so the rest of my colleagues stopped blatantly lying to our customer base.

But let me tell you, I loathe that vile company to this very day for coercing literal children to lie to adults under threat of being fired.

The Inflation Game

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been jotting down all the times I’ve noticed the effects of inflation around me.

The lying government says inflation in my country is 3.2% right now, because they are incentivized to lie — if they reported the true inflation rate (well over 10%), they’d have to pay pensioners more, which means they’d have to tax us more, which means they’ve lose their jobs. So they lie.

Our game today is simple:

Keep track of how many of these signed you’ve seen recently, then comment with your total number, plus any additional signs of inflation you’ve been noticing.

Let’s help each other tune in and pay attention to how true prices are rapidly hyperinflating and our money’s purchasing power is crashing.

_ Self-checkouts at grocery stores

_ Butter in 200 gram slices instead of 1kg bricks.

_ Highly-processed (and highly-profitable) vegetarian and vegan “food”

_ Filler ingredients (canola oil in tomato soup?!)

_ 10 eggs as the new dozen

_ Five apples in a bag that used to contain six

_ $1 fee to reserve a library book

_ $100 to submit a pre-application query to my local county council

_ Rubbish bins collected less frequently

_ Mail delivered less frequently

_ Far less maintenance and non-existent cleaning of public spaces

_ A Bakewell tart made with raspberry instead of cherry

_ Half-loaves of bread as the new standard size

_ A product labels “Almond Extract” that is actually 99% canola oil

_ $250 boots that spring leaks within one year

_ Artificial colors

_ Artificial flavors

_ Artificial sweeteners

_ Candies that were once full-candy are now half-candy-half-marshmallow

_ Guinness in 10 packs instead of 12 or 24 packs

_ A new Guinness ripoff beer for £0.10 cheaper per can

_ “Extra large” onions are the size of the old medium

_ A product labeled “Madagascan Vanilla Extract” that is actually 10% vanilla and 90% invert glucose syrup.

_ “Super Tough” garbage bags that tear with ease

_ Expiry dates just 1–3 days away

_ Fewer organic food options compared to five years ago

_ Bon Maman strawberry jam now lighter in color, sickly sweet, and visibly containing less fruit

_ Socks that last weeks instead of years

_ Products becoming impossible to actually purchase and own for life (you can only access them for a monthly fee)

How many of these signs of inflation have you seen?

What are some other ways you’re seeing inflation?

Think:

• Prices going up

• Quantity going down

• Quality going down

• Ownership disappearing

How to protect yourself against inflation

Let’s go ahead and assume that a.) politicians will continue lying about inflation, and b.) prices will keep going up, quantity will keep going down, quality will keep going down, and ownership will keep disappearing.

We would be utterly delusion to not assume these things will COMPOUND and get WORSE in the years ahead.

What can we do?

Obviously, we have to stop voting for sociopaths and elite-owned parties. To vote for any of them is to throw away your vote and guarantee the further strangulation of your family’s future.

On the day-to-day level, you can take one or more of seven routes to stay ahead of inflation:

1. You can play the game. Exploit others as much as possible. Load up on stocks and bonds and rental properties and every possible extractive asset you can find. Bleed others dry. Then burn in hell. (Sorry, I don’t make the rules.)

2. Start a new country that bans fractional reserve banking and doesn’t let bankers inflate the money supply by printing debt-money out of thin air.

3. Overthow your nation’s establishment through election or revolution. Abolish interest and fractional reserve. Bring back the gold standard, adopt the Bitcoin standard, or re-start sovereign money creation.

4. Move to Switzerland (strict on keeping inflation low) or El Salvador (if you want to live that Bitcoin life.)

5. Go semi, hybrid, or totally off-grid. It’s just math. Groceries and heat and power will cost more each year, so if homesteading’s your thing, there comes a point when generating your own food, firewood, and electricity makes WAY more financial sense than working a wage-suppressed job to pay monopoly prices.

6. Buy durable goods while you still can.

• Don’t become a weirdo hoarder, but if you love a certain pair of long-lasting shoes and your feet have stopped growing, buy a few pairs. After all, the price will go up and the quality will go down.

• Car parts. Light bulbs. Firewood and lumber. A home. Furniture. Raw materials.

• Any item that will last for years, where the price will go up, and the quality will go down… it’s fair game to buy now while you still can.

7. Ditch fiat currency.
Get out of $USD/$CAD/£GBP/etc.
Hold your cash in gold, silver, etc.

This is surprisingly easy to do. I recently used BuillionVault to buy $100 worth of gold and silver in literally four minutes. Plus they gave me 1/4 oz of free silver, a free euro, a free U.S. dollar, and a free British pound, which I immediately used to buy more silver. 😂 Now that my account is set up, it’ll take five seconds. Other options include GlintPay, GoldMoney, VeraCash Perth Mint Gold Card, OneGold, etc.

Note:

As a Christian, I don’t believe in storing up wealth on earth, so I’m not recommending people just sit on Smauglike piles of gold and silver. Money is for spending, giving, and interest-free lending. Saving is for necessities like a house down payment, an upcoming roof repair, car replacement, next week’s groceries, etc.

What I’m saying is that holding any money in $USD/$CAD/£GBP/etc means the guaranteed compounding devaluation of your purchasing power.

But if you don’t hold your spending money in fiat currencies, it doesn’t matter to you if fiat currencies hyperinflate.

Think about it:

If a house costs 10 pounds of gold and doesn’t change regardless of the USD price, then obviously you win.

Here’s what it looks like in picture form:

Wild, right?

Let’s do another one, this time related to food:

Now look at how gold “outperforms” (or rather, holds its value) compared to devaluing fiat currencies.

If you’d held all your money in gold instead of $USD for the past ten years, today you’d have more than three times as much spending power:

The moral of the story is that fiat currencies are literal theft.

They’re evil, immoral, and wrong.

Bankers stole 2/3rd of your purchasing power in the past decade.

In the next decade, it will be significantly worse.
