"Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, man" - J. Lebowski
My general view of twitter is that it's a great place to express opinions / distribute information and a terrible place to have a conversation which is why I generally don't respond to comments but all views welcome.

Congress has laid quite the trap for itself. It’s in the

My local breakfast spot increased 4-item breakfast tacos from $2.95 to $3.45 (17% inflation), so I’ve substituted to a 3-item breakfast taco which now costs $2.95, CPI/CPE would show this as a 0% increase but there’s been 17% food inflation. This is how it really works.

Bill, call me, this is not the way economy works or

A scenario:
Bitcoin price rise leads to increased mining and greater energy use, driving up the cost of energy, causing inflation to rise and the dollar to decline, driving demand for Bitcoin and increased mining, driving demand for energy and the cycle continues.
