I totally agree that the insane covid policies have contributed to inflation in many countries, and governments are largely not being held accountable. Most Australians I know, even some of the apparently intelligent ones with university educations etc, don't join the dots and can't understand when I do it for them. The amount of money they have hasn't gone down, the government gave them free money, so the fact that their money isn't worth as much just seems like an unfortunate thing no particular entity is responsible for. If the buying power of the dollar had remained the same but people lost half their money because the government taxed or otherwise appropriated it, everyone would be screaming blue murder, there would be unprecedented outcry and unrest, but the exact same thing is not causing anyone to kick up a fuss, because people are typically that financially illiterate.

I'm not sure how relevant Russia specifically is, but definitely, I'm bullish on silver, and widespread inflation is part of it.

You say Russia losing the war will cause an increase in silver prices. If I play devil's advocate and assume you're right, what would you say a Russian victory would do to silver prices?

[QUOTE="Sdajii, post: 1299848, member: 30808"] I totally agree that the insane covid policies have contributed to inflation in many countries, and governments are largely not being held accountable. Most Australians I know, even some of the apparently intelligent ones with university educations etc, don't join the dots and can't understand when I do it for them.

If the buying power of the dollar had remained the same but people lost half their money because the government taxed or otherwise appropriated it, everyone would be screaming blue murder, there would be unprecedented outcry and unrest, but the exact same thing is not causing anyone to kick up a fuss, because people are typically that financially illiterate.
