    Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.

      Your best option if you are unfamiliar with the markets is to seek advice or help from a consultant or investing coach. I know it sounds simple or generic, but talking to a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. For me, it's the best method to enter the market right now.

    Some food items have gone up 50% or more and have become something that no longer is affordable for many families. Meals out have become unaffordable for seniors and large families and this includes fast food and beverage takeout. Everything has gone up in price in the last 3 years, Large corporations show huge profits, now, stock market is being manipulated daily. This is exactly what happened in 1929, 1989, 2008. This time when the bubble bursts, the big corporations and stock market will take most of the hit. Every generation has to relearn this.

      It has been true for several years now -- people food is cheaper than pet food. Fake bacon treats for dogs are 4 or 5 times the price of real bacon, for example. And even the cheapest options for canned pet food is twice as expensive as giving your furry friends real food that you cook and prepare yourself. Homemade pet food and treats used to be a cute novelty option, but is now the financially smart thing to do. So buy some eggs, liver, beef, pork, oatmeal, lard, etc and make your own pet food -- and your pets can eat the same food as the rest of your family -- all while saving money. :)

    In 2019, a filled grocery cart that fed my family of 4 for about 2 weeks was consistently between $200.00 and $250.00. Today, the same filled cart to feed us all for about 2 weeks is $400.00 to $450.00. When it comes to groceries, the stated 15% or 20% or 30% increase is NOT what I've been experiencing here in the pacific NW for the last 3 years. Here, groceries have quite literally been DOUBLE what I paid compared to 2019 and earlier.

So more money in bitcoin means less money in circulation causing dollar scarcity which causes the demand of dollars to rise and the dollar regains purchasing power. Cause foreign nations then want dollars for more bitcoin and they want dollars if the crypto mine and sell more decentralized crypto to usa.
    More crypto mining decentralized crypto blockchains is also more NVIDIA HARDWARE SALES= more nvidia profits and more nvidia bull run.

      Climate change is a naturally occurring phenomenon! The lies about it being caused by humans is to extract money from uneducated individuals. It’s big business

      Clearly you have not purchased chocolate recently. Hot chocolate like Swiss Miss is mostly artificial flavoring. You'd have to take out a small loan if you went to a store with real chocolate.
