I’m so dubious on Fed monetary policy. It’s clearly been a 100-year failure. I do “silver math” with lots of stuff and it’s almost always right. Like a Sears home built in 1920 - the purchase price when adjusted with “silver math” comes out to almost exactly its current market value. CPI calculator had it at half.

And yeah, the hunt brothers saga is a bit of a boone, but if you average around it just a little then things still fall into place.

Basically, my contention is that current CPI metrics basically always indicate things as being worth half of what they really are. Because the people who control those numbers are incentivized for it to do so.

Funny how every time I use simple silver math I get consistent prices huh? Like, how much does a cheap pistol cost these days? Oh, like $400? The amount I calculated using simple precious metals?

So 70 years ago I could get a cheap pistol for 21 oz of silver, and today I can get a cheap pistol for 21 oz of silver?

Nah, it must be bad math. I bet the CPI inflation calculator is more accurate - not like it’s a completely manipulated metric, controlled by people whose sole interest is to underrepresent it or anything.

I’ve done this math with every possible asset class, it’s far more accurate than any inflation calculator ever is. Way to not prove any point.

In 1956, the purchase price of $19.95 would buy you almost 22oz of silver (@$0.91/oz), which would be worth $462 in 2022 (@$21/oz).

The inflation calculator you used that says it would be $220 is absolutely lying to you.

Do exactly what I said, using whatever resource you trust. You’ll see exactly what I said.

I was as naïve as you once, too. It’s definitely harder to learn the truth than to just repeat the lie

You must not care too much, then. I don’t need to waste my time if you’re unwilling to spend any of yours. Good luck!

I don’t even need a link to prove the vaccine was irrelevant - check polio rates over the years… then check when yhe vaccine was introduced.

It follows the same exact trend that Measles did. The same trend that Covid did. The vaccine comes AFTER the disease already essentially disappears.

If that interests you, continue to do your own investigation. I have a feeling you’re just gonna pull some bullshit “nuhuh” and keep faffing along

Ah yes, years of research. Let me just go find, copy l, and paste a hundred articles that you won’t read. I’ll get right on that bro,

If you’re actually interested, you’ll do some academic research like I did.

Polio is and always has been a scam, regardless.

Critical thinker. You should try it.

Polio was a scam all along. People are still falling for this shii?

Yes, and maybe? But also Polio was a scam all along…

Yes, and maybe? But also Polio was a scam all along…

Like “hey, we tried to eliminate polio using vaccines and now most polio in the world is caused by polio vaccines”? That kind of vaccine education?

… what?

Vaccine derived polio is the dominant strain and has been for like 20 years…

Or I’ll just use Amazon and it’ll be cheaper, faster, and reliably employ more people
