Topic: "Greedflation" has gone too far! (Read 667 times)

If you are not a primitive liar, and do not deliberately manipulate imnormation - you are obliged to give MY ANSWER, where I SUPPORT and JUSTIFY the crimes? Looking forward to the primer? Only not your fantasies - but my specific answer, where I write "I support this, this and this (crimes)"

At the same time, for some reason, you yourself hide the facts that took place and which are not beneficial to you ... So who is "one-sided"?

If for you a request for clarification of the reasons why some kind of event happened is a synonym for "I support this action", I recommend that you contact the relevant specialists

Nice comment, I think that you understood the point of this thread. This is a global problem, and I feel that we still live in "colonial ages", the West has built wealth on third-world resources and it's still not enough. And when is enough? While some people drive "+500 million dollars ships" a billion people are on the edge of poverty... and I guess those "crazy big ships" make a lot more pollution than some small city every day with all the traffic (just my opinion based on fuel consumption).

I also think that we need to step back, the entire world needs to step back, and we all need to rethink some things... but chances for that to happen with all those "extremists of any kind" around are close to zero. I am not pessimistic, I think I am just realistic.

There is never enough of what seems to be the means to an end. Greedflation is another over stretched need that cannot be fulfilled because of the excessive hunger for more. More fiat, more crypto, more of everything that makes life seem easier. This can only be controlled with people learning to be more content with what they have and learning to hustle the right way in order to be able to meet their immediate needs.

you last statement where you said let greed be replace by compassion and cooperation and self evaluation is also a very valid point
as charity begins at home so does rectification of one ownself.

the struggle to cope up with economic problem is real. People are struggling hard to meet their ends.
the crime rate and stealing has increase and there is no denial that this will increase more without stopping

Indeed, the term "Greedflation" is a fitting description of the current economic situation. I think the pursuit of continuous economic growth without considering the consequences has led to a never ending cycle of money printing and inflation and the hyped up lure of more money and power has blinded some people, resulting in unfair competition and inequality.

Well, As a society, we need to step back and consider the long term effects of our actions. We must strive for sustainable growth that benefits everyone, not just the few. Let's work towards a better future where greed is replaced by compassion and cooperation. 

Ah, your convictions on this issue resemble a cryptic code, both powerful and intriguing. I comprehend your stance but urge the consideration of diverse outlooks. Indeed, "a coin bears two faces."

Undeniably, promoting peace and comprehension is vital, like unveiling the ancient secrets of humanity. We often dwell in our enigmatic chambers, oblivious to the grand tapestry. United, transcending disparities, we shall conquer remarkable feats.

As for Serbia, a land of profound heritage and tradition, a visit beckons. Perhaps we shall prolong our intellectual exchange amidst the aroma of coffee or the warmth of rakija.

This has been the new excuses used by these greedy capitalists to extort consumers with high prices in every goods even home grown goods are still giving a raised price as the foreign that we don't even know which is imported anymore. And such greed can lead to a revolt by consumers when they no more could bear the lot especially when there's no responsive increment in the salaries and income .

With all these situations going on it's very natural that I can imagine now why the likes of Karl Marx described capitalism as  evil.

And just like that... a few of us went to Mcdonald's that evening. On the way home we heard the sirens for the first time... I still remember that beating when I got home a few hours later.

You missed a lot of things as always. And I am not sure what I get into discussions with you when you are a "one-sided man". You justify crimes if that works for you. For me, all criminals should be punished... but in reality, the biggest criminals always get away, in all parts of the world. When you understand that maybe you will start seeing this world from another perspective.

It's not all about the money and weapons, about being a stronger or superior one... can we all have a normal and peaceful life in this world or not? Do all people in this world have the right to life or does it only apply to the chosen ones?

I will not get deeper in discussion with you, you need to expand your views. If you ever visit Serbia, or you decide to visit Serbia, I am here for you. I will show you the history since Emperor Constantine, and even earlier if you want. Balkan is a beautiful place despite all the shit that happened here.

business are going down - I have read the business recorder and almost all the businesses are going down.

Yes, it is human nature and i agree that it is not good and even harmful to society, although some others believe it is personal freedom and the right to accumulate wealth.

Regarding the term "Greedflation" my view refers to the idea that companies inflate their prices excessively to maximize profits, leading to a vicious cycle of inflation and greed, however I think that the current trend of rising costs and record profits is actually a natural result of capitalism because in the market In a competitive environment, businesses try to maximize their profits by cutting costs and increasing revenue.

That is, when costs rise, businesses find ways to offset those costs by raising prices or taking cost-cutting measures. Obviously, this can lead to increased profits despite the challenges of inflation. But, we have to admit there are also other benefits of the capitalist system in being able to promote innovation, efficiency and growth even though it may seem counterintuitive.

This happens on all levels, not just in big corporations. If you look at the local vendors, the same thing happens.
Whenever there is a little surge in the price of goods, vendors look for different ways to exploit it. They use that same as an excuse to increase the price of whatever commodity or service they offer.
I think that is what capitalism is. I mean, it was not meant to be perfect, everything can be exploited that is why there are regulations.
Greeed plays a vital role in the encouragement of this exploitation. Humans are greedy and looking for ways to get the better of others.

good point mentioned Dr Beer - I always read what you write - you have great wealth of knowledge and you have aa deep insight too.
I like the way you respectfully state your point and opposition too.

I absolutely support this, really, good idea!
But with a small addition - we will analyze each case, to find out the truth, or at least the real root causes? To understand what exactly, really became the causes of the tragedy, problems, recession and other things? It’s just that now it’s “in trend” when you don’t want to tell the truth, but you want to keep the conversation going - wishful thinking. Therefore, I am absolutely for, but we raise historical facts and analyze each situation. I am sure that we will make many unexpected and sometimes not pleasant "discoveries".
Where do we start?

I think it is also a good suggestion to add other examples here too how the poor country world has been victim of greed and power.
Let's not forget all the trouble been caused to world in the name of war against terrorism

Does the memory from the past still haunts you?
Do you remember how NATO changed your life as a child?

There are a lots of point - we can discuss!
I meant to say there is so much going on in the other part of the world and mostly the superpowers are behind this. They advocate peace and destroy it to recreate it. That was my opinion about it. Just a simple point.

1. I heard you. Ok, let's take a look then. What preceded what you described? I don't think that everything was good, everything was quiet and peaceful. And then suddenly bang, and just like that - they started bombing and imposing sanctions? Or have I missed something? Help me figure it out: you, in the first person, a direct participant in these events, can you tell what the chronology of events was before the events you voiced? I will not bother you with Wikipedias and all sorts of protocols of international organizations, I want to hear from you. All in attention, waiting for your answer!

2. By the way, and a question on the topic: if capitalism is the root of evil and "wild inflation", then why do "independent economies free from capitalism countries" have problems, and why, in fact, they all have an extremely low standard of living, although they refused both capitalism and from the dollar, and conduct economic relations only with their own kind? Also very interesting

3. Well, about "our greed." You're trying to bring everyone to the same level in vain. There are people who have nothing, because of their personal low level, but they want to look successful and rich. They buy expensive things, phones, cars ON CREDIT. And then they themselves generate their poor life in debt and .. INFLATION.

And there are quite wealthy people who have everything necessary for life, but they do not strive to build a golden palace for themselves, or necessarily own a super-premium car or their own private jet or yacht.

Tell me - who generates inflation more - a person who consumes moderately, or one who forms an artificial image for himself, buying at a very high price (unlike the real market), very expensive things, generating empty added value?

I was nine at that time... 5 years after NATO bombs were falling on our heads, and new sanctions again. So tell me more about inflations and sanctions, and endless lines of people waiting to buy bread.
But nevertheless, the times like any other time, some people had a lot and many didn't have basics, capitalism is always present, it's that greed in all of us... we want to show off, and we want to have more than others. And it's the point of this topic, about that greediness and how some people are ready to "walk on dead bodies" and "kill nature around" just to make more money! I guess we have those people in every country in this world, in yours and mine, and in all others that you like or you don't like (hate).

We can talk about Palestine, and I would like to hear your honest opinion about the situation there. I didn't mention Palestine, but that's a nice example. In your comments, I didn't see that you condemned other aggressions that happened or are happening, except the one you feel on your skin. I don't like those double standards! I see it every day, it's nothing new, I am surrounded by that my entire life... I live in fucked up "Balkan Peninsula".

Good point. Unfortunately people by nature are greedy, they be taking unplanned and idiotic risks to make un guaranteed profit. And to be honest, we cannot overcome this issue,  It is actually widespread in  the entire crypto field. That’s why rate of fraud is getting bigger by time. In fact, the scammers always hunt the greedy crypto users most of them are newbies. They be using some tricks to manipulate them. In my opinion, the more Bitcoin will go up, the more greed rate will increase, and the more people will get deceived.
Otherwise, having a great self-control is definitely needed and essential especially in sudden tough moments such as Bear run.
