Consider inflation, what it actually is when you get to the meat and bone of the matter. It's a system which ultimately punishes people for saving and rewards them for consuming things in the here and now. This isn't a conspiracy or a hot take, the establishment says this themselves constantly and explicitly that inflation "stimulates the economy" which means they are creating a reward structure for consumers and punishment for savers.
This is a SYSTEMIC way of getting people to consume what they don't need. This should be the absolute number one concern of an environmentalist, yet you never hear a peep about inflation from environmentalists since they never really cared to begin with, it was all virtue signalling.
