  1. In all seriousness, and I know that there are many people who disagree with me, but reality is still reality and truth is still truth. The US Fed with their goal of 2% annual inflation, is 2% on top of all the 2%'s that came before it, which turns out to be an exponential amount of inflation over time (and many times inflation is over 2% annually). And most people in this world, do not receive pay raises that keep up with the true cost of inflation, hence more and more people become poorer in this world due to having less buying power. This is a contributing factor to many social and economic problems in this nation and in this world. Additionally, space travel is the ONLY thing that is going to save any species from this Earth, and space travel has gotten more expensive just in my lifetime. While many people claim we have a lot of time before this Earth is no more, what is space travel going to cost in the next 100, 1000, 1 million years from now? Economic inflation just might be a contributing factor to all life from this Earth dying and going extinct. What good is life if there are no entities left to live it? What good is money if there are no entities left to spend it? A law should be passed that the US Fed has to have an annual inflation goal of 0%. I know this will probably piss off a lot of rich people who game the system due to the Fed's inflation goals, but if it's not done, well, all life from this Earth, including all the rich people, will probably all still die one day from something, will forget everything they ever knew and experienced, and will be forgotten one day in future eternity, just like everybody else, because one day, there will be no life left to care that any of us ever existed at all in the first place, much less however anyone existed while they existed. Life itself would all be ultimately meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Either at least one species from this Earth survives beyond this Earth and solar system, OR none do. Denying future reality will not make future reality any less real. People just won't be prepared for it is all.
