"@MDOWriter Michael You say the CPI reflects an honest attempt to estimate inflation. But that assumes the problem is merely technical.

"2/ What changed In 1971 Nixon severed the dollars convertibility to gold ending the Bretton Woods system. That wasnt a correctionit was a seizure.

"8/ The CPI today is not a measure of the cost of living. Its a measure of how effectively they can hide the cost of theft. Real inflation = stolen wages savings and time" @stephen3582 on X 2025-07-22 03:28:22 UTC XXX followers, XX engagements
"@CCriticalRBLX @RdramaEnjoyer @FinancialPhys Reagan didn't end the gold standard. Reagan didn't launch fiat inflation. Reagan didnt cause wage-to-gold collapse. Bringing up private equity and deregulation is a separate issue not germane to the post about what was stolen from the working class in 1971" @stephen3582 on X 2025-07-22 19:54:43 UTC XXX followers, X engagements
"1/ He's correct. In 1971 the minimum wage was $1.60/hr. At the time that was worth XXXX ounces of gold per week (at $35/oz). Today XXXX oz of gold = $6000. Thats $150/hr for the same XX hours of labor. Thats what they stole" @stephen3582 on X 2025-07-22 02:01:05 UTC XXX followers, XX engagements
"@dww3n @OnlyinFlorida2 @Rep_Stansbury @RepJohnLarson Under the Reagan administration in '83 measures were implemented to rescue SS. The DNC destroyed it. Reagan and Greenspan rescued it.

"@RdramaEnjoyer @FinancialPhys @RdramaEnjoyer You confused dollar amount with value. $1.60/hr in 1971 = XXXX oz of gold/week = $6000/week today. Thats purchasing power.

"8. Analogies to Christian extremism (e.g. Timothy McVeigh) are misapplied. McVeighs actions were in direct contradiction to the teachings of Christ whereas jihadists cite chapter and verse to justify their violence.

"@MDOWriter @vasalex93 @FinancialPhys Only if you trust the CPI which has been redefined repeatedly to understate inflation. True cost of living increases are far higher.

"5/ 🛒 Frequent Basket Revisions The CPI basket of goods changes constantly. So theyre not even measuring the same thing year to year. No consistency = no truth in long-term comparisons" @stephen3582 on X 2025-07-22 03:28:21 UTC XXX followers, X engagements
"@MDOWriter Lets be honest: The CPI is a synthetic index made of moving parts subjective weights and politically sensitive tweaks. Gold doesnt care about policy or politics.

"Yes some basket updates make senselike replacing ice blocks with refrigerators. But thats not what drives CPI manipulation today.

"1/ Why doesnt the dollar feel like it buys what it used to Because it doesnt. But the official inflation numbers (CPI) have been rigged for decades to hide that truth. Heres how theyve gamed the numbers since 1971: 🧵" @stephen3582 on X 2025-07-22 03:28:19 UTC XXX followers, XX engagements
"4/ Its a system built on theft by dilution. The rich get the new money first (Cantillon Effect) while prices rise for everyone else.

"Thats the heart of it: CPI should reflect what it takes to maintain a consistent lifestyle. Not just track consumer substitution and rationalize price hikes away.
