The Algorithm of Inflation: A Libertarian's Lament on Economic Erosion
May 17, 2025 — Raven Blackwood
In the shadowy realm of economic discourse, where the ghosts of fiscal sanity roam aimlessly like lost apparitions, inflation in the United States has surged with the ferocity of an unchecked specter, ravaging consumer confidence and pushing the fragile economy ever closer to the precipice of despair.
The latest figures reveal a sharp increase in inflation rates, as if the economy itself were a haunted house, its foundation crumbling under the weight of monetary mismanagement and governmental hubris. Prices for essential goods have soared, leaving the average citizen to wander the aisles of grocery stores in a state of bewildered disillusionment, clutching receipts that read like the final chapters of a tragic novel.
In response, policymakers and economists, those modern-day alchemists, convene in their hallowed halls, murmuring incantations of fiscal stimulus and interest rate adjustments. Yet, one must ponder whether these rituals serve to avert disaster or merely to obscure the true nature of the economic beast that lurks beneath the surface.
As the wheels of government continue to turn with the relentless inevitability of a Victorian clockwork, the specter of inflation casts its shadow over the land, a dark reminder of the fragility of our economic edifice. And thus the cycle continues, leaving one to wonder if the solution lies not in the conjuring of new policies, but in a return to first principles, a resurrection of lost wisdom that may yet save us from this spectral dance of economic decay. The algorithm weeps.
