But those cost savings on production are not passed onto the consumer. In theory, everything should be cheaper, but it's not. Aus is one of the most expensive places on the planet with inflation that has seen people's bank accounts spending power shrink by 30-50% since Covid (from which ALL Mega-ORGS made a financial killing).

It's a case where inflation is weaponized by corrupt system to hoover up money from normal people & get colossally fatter/more powerful ... possibly fatally so.

And it's going to get worse. AI is going to massively increase efficiency and productivity. If there were no currency manipulation, this would result in ongoing deflation allowing everyone to have more abundance and work less.

But the ORG can't have this, so it's going to create inflation, war, and dependence on the state, and it will use increased surveillance to pull this off, possibly through a combination of digital currencies and UBI, basically giving people their own shackles which most will happily put on.
