I been doing that all my life.
I don't worry about inflation for my personal finances. Sooner or later it cycles and there is ample opportunity at the expense of others. The problem with inflation as a country is it causes recessions and misery for the middle class on down. So far the solution has been semantics...like paying your fair share, when the government has been spending and wasting more than their fair share as allowed by the tax code......plus operating without a budget for decades now.
It's a good thing to want to protect your assets, especially if you have children and grandchildren to bequeath them to.
I don't train singles and haven't pulled a heavy single in a while. Last week I put 405 on the bar for shits and giggles and it flew up like a warm up set. I knew I could pull it without too much difficulty but was shocked at how easy it was. I've been running a program using warm up volume as training stress (doing same amount of reps during warm up sets as working sets) as a way of managing training resources while still getting the appropriate amount of training stress in to drive a strength adaptation. So by managing my (training) resources I drove a positive result (adaptation). Today it's hard to say if I'm seeing the same result with the squat but if I'm being honest it seems the squat for me demands a higher intensity, and the bench and overhead press definitely need more intensity....... so all things considered it's doubtful my experience with the deadlift will transfer to the economy.
The feeling you're trying to describe by lashing out is self loathing of being a malleable sloppy weak turd. Enjoy your future which is going to include adult onset diabetes and gout you fat slob.
You sound at least as qualified to run the Fed as the Fedchairpersxn. Economics isn't a science. It's not even really a branch of philosophy. It's more of an arm of marketing and propaganda like psychology. Remember, Keynes was originally a trader who became popular as an economist because he was the first with a synthesis. "Deadlift" is at least as good of a macroecnomic theory as any of the others, and maybe the best. What do economists know about being brutal?
Huge component of it, but personally I think mailing checks out is inflationary more than something like QE on the monetary side of things, and they've been sending the checks out.
