 Woke up in the middle of the night just to think about how nowadays more than ever before, it seems like every other person, whether it's you or someone you know, is severely depressed, anxious, scared, and angry most of the time. And at the same time feels the noose of inflation tightening around their necks. 

Every other person, or even if it were one in every ten people, is a sign of a systemic problem rather than just something randomly wrong with people. The issue is that most of these people are being lied to constantly about what these systemic problems are... by the very people causing the real root problem in the first place: the ongoing and accelerating theft of humanity's wealth via money printing.
