only an imbecilic uses government numbers for long term planing. fact: monopolies control prices. monopolies want bigger earnings. as job market shrinks, due to automation, less consumers mean need to increase prices by monopolies. look at soylent green. artificial shortage. surplus dead bodies. people demand what is a monopoly surplus. future is happening fast!!!! homeless up 18% in 2022. and look at the increase in prices. so what does the government propaganda machine do? focuses on short term drop in some prices, rather than the monopoly problem. massive growth of homelessness. and how to redistribute automation profits to society.
