I've noticed portions getting smaller; especially in canned goods and breakfast cereals. One of the more amusing examples of this is the "half-gallon" of ice cream. They're now 1.75 or 1.5 quarts, but people still refer to them as a "half-gallon."

It's difficult to make a precise prediction, but I'd be surprised if Obama makes it through his second term before something spirals out of control. People are already noticing significant price increases of groceries and services. Despite complicity from media lackeys in perpetuating the lie that inflation is under 2%, the State isn't able to conceal the effects of their currency debasement. Every year, more Americans are squeezed to the point where they are unable to support themselves and have to consume their savings, sell assets, borrow money, or move in with relatives.

Ben Bernanke: Currency debasement to continue into 2014 Bernanke promised to continue debasing U.S. fiat currency into 2014, although it will continue long past that. He is leaving office, so he can say anything. There is simply no way that the government can ever stop debasing the currency. Far too many people are dependent upon government largesse. The counterfeiting will continue in order to satiate the parasites until one of two things happen: 1) price inflation makes it impossible to survive, or 2) price controls are imposed causing shortages. Either will result in civil unrest like we've seen in Europe and South America.

You're right. They sent out an announcement a few days ago saying that Stef couldn't come. []

"Any formal attack on ignorance is bound to fail because the masses are always ready to defend their most precious possession -- their ignorance." - Hendrik Willem van Loon I rarely read YT comments because they tend to be a cesspool of inanity and incoherence, but Stef's responses were still enjoyable. I wouldn't respond to irrational postings with the intention of changing the minds of the people who posted them because their minds aren't likely to be changed. However, others can learn a great deal from it. The overwhelming bulk of Western society grew up with decades of government schooling, television, religion, and abuse. That damage ossifies into a shell which isn't easy to break through.

Hi Nala. Gosh, I haven't seen you around here in a long time. I remember you, and your story. I hope you're doing well. Have you been lurking or were you taking a long break?

Intelligence officials overheard joking about how NSA leaker should be 'disappeared' after handing classified documents to press ...as well as the reporter involved. It will be interesting to see if the usual suspects publicly advocate for murder like they did with Julian Assange.
