This is a non-sequiter. Not voting is still participating in "the system." Hoping that if Trump wins again, the Democrats will elect AOC is trusting the system to work. You are the person standing there thinking "This system is garbage - I hope the high priest dies of natural causes soon." If your problem is with the system itself (i.e., the specific form of representative democracy in use in the US), the only way to fight that system from outside of it is to forcibly overthrow it. Show up at the Democratic convention with a bunch of people and try to force electors to vote Sanders - bribe them, blackmail them, prevent the ones who refuse from voting. Anything less is admitting that the system is, in fact, the system, and we have no choices beyond what group of innocent people gets sacrificed. Saying "I'm not going to participate in voting on which people get sacrificed" doesn't actually save anybody and doesn't change the system. You're the "And yet you participate in it. I am very smart." guy.

Also, you're image-leaching from Reddit.

Apparently the lovely NBPP got sued by the original BPP for using their logo and still hasn't stopped, so it's evidence in favor of the "they're probably from the lovely ones" argument.

No. Steady, controlled inflation is a good thing and is a sign of a healthy economy. The fed likes to keep it around 2%, IIRC. That chart shows inflation going negative.

Nitrousoxide posted:

Monetary theory says that a constant inflation rate of roughly 2% is ideal. What it does is it allows the economy to build its contracts around a relatively reliable inflation rate. This allows things like interest rates to intelligently calculate the value of money 10 years 15 years in the future and so on. If the inflation rate drops below the expected inflation rate then it hurts people who are in debt because the debt obtained on the assumption of a 2% inflation rate ie that your dollar would be worth less 10 years or 15 years down the line. As such you paid a higher interest rate upfront because of that. An interest rate that's around 2% also tends to encourage money to continue to flow in the economy. If it's too low or even deflationary then it encourages people to save money or essentially stuff it in their mattress rather than spending it on goods and services in the economy.

Since money is just a means of exchange and doesn't really have any inherent value in it stuffing it away in your mattress doesn't really improve the lives of people.

It also leads to poo poo like banks offering negative interest rates on savings accounts because otherwise they'll bleed money, so now nobody wants to keep their money in banks, so they bleed money anyways.

It's also a bad sign because the cause of deflation is people not being willing to spend money.

Did we just go deflationary? I know that everything is too chaotic to read much into anything economic right now beyond "poo poo it is hosed up," but that would be superbad.

The chart literally says yes. We're at about -5% annualized inflation.
