Capitalists are robbing us....

资本家们正在掠夺我们……

Our real wages are falling due to rampant inflation.
And billionaires are getting richer faster than ever.

由于通货膨胀猖獗,我们的实际工资正在下降。
亿万富翁们比以往任何时候都更富有。

Honestly.

诚然。

Isn't this inflation just the effect of all the supply craziness caused by the pandemic? That and things like the chip shortage, the housing supply shortage, etc.

这种通货膨胀难道不是疫情导致的供应链危机的结果吗?还有芯片短缺、住房供应短缺等问题。

Capitalists are robbing us but I don't think this is a great example.

资本家确实在掠夺我们,但我不认为这是一个很好的例子。

harvardlawii
Don't listen to corporate media. Inflation in Europe is the same as last year. But in America it's brutal. So it's not because of supply craziness.

不要听企业媒体的。欧洲去年的通货膨胀率也一样高。但在美国,他们就说情况很残酷。所以这并不是因为供应链危机。

BrokenArrows95
I based that view on looking at what the inflation was actually hitting.

我的观点是基于对通货膨胀实际影响的观察。

Europe doesn't have the same demand as the US for most products. Things like cars and houses have been skyrocketing the US inflation numbers.

欧洲对大多数产品的需求不如美国。像汽车和房子这样的东西使美国的通货膨胀数字直线上升。

I do not believe anything corporate media says. They now even say that inflation is GOOD for us.

To hell with them. Now even USED cars got more expensive, by 9%!

让他们见鬼去吧。现在,就连二手车也涨价了,涨了9%!

BrokenArrows95
Like I said, my view isn't based on corporate media. Also used cars went up because if the demand explosion during the pandemic.

就像我说的,我的观点不是基于企业媒体。此外,二手车价格上涨是因为疫情期间需求激增。

illmaticrabbit
That’s assuming that the supply chains are similar between US and Europe, and I’m not sure to what extent that’s true. There may be important differences in where we source things from. Another factor is demand, e.g. I bet Americans consume a lot more fuel per capita than Europeans due to our car culture.

这是假设美国和欧洲之间的供应链相似,我不确定这种假设在多大程度上是正确的。我们的来源可能有很大的不同。另一个因素是需求,例如,我敢打赌,由于我们的汽车文化,美国人比欧洲人消耗更多的燃料。

Another thing the article mentions is companies increasing prices because they have had to raise wages. Personally, I feel like consumer prices in America have been historically very low, but maybe those low prices were a result of the exploitation of low-wage workers, and maybe it’s worth it in the end to tolerate some price increases if it’s a consequence of regular workers being paid more.

文章提到的另一件事是公司涨价,因为他们不得不提高工资。就我个人而言,我认为美国的消费价格在历史上一直很低,但也许这些低价格是对低工资工人的剥削的结果,如果这是正规工人得到更多工资的结果,也许最终容忍一些价格上涨是值得的。

US Stock exchange and hedge funds utilizing illegal non existing funds (naked shares, dark pools) is the primary reason the US currency is loosing value as fast as never.

美国证券交易所和对冲基金利用非法的不存在的资金(裸股、暗池),是美元以前所未有的速度贬值的主要原因。

They did for decades but these years it started to hit the fan as law suits of the public arised and force investigation.

他们这样做了几十年,但这些年来,随着公众诉讼和强制调查的出现,这种做法开始受到打击。

Rich people have become more rich with money they didn’t have in the first place. They don’t take the Money away from them though, instead you feel the duation/inflation of the currency.

有钱的人变得更富有了,一开始那些钱不属于他们。他们的钱不会受到损失,相反,我们会感觉到货币的贬值/通货膨胀。

Trillions of dollars can’t be sourced (money used to influence stock market pricing didn’t actually exist/was owned) and it seems like they Never existed.

数万亿美元的资金来源不明(用于影响股票市场定价的资金实际上并不存在/被拥有),它们似乎从未存在过。

Covid related economic damage is just a drop in the bucket. Make it some billion dollars, make it 50 billion dollars, still laughable compared to the trillions of dollars that where used for illegal transactions on the stock markets, which currently bust.

新冠疫情造成的经济损失只是九牛一毛。比如说有几十亿美元,或者500亿美元,但与用于非法交易的股票市场的数万亿美元相比,仍然少到可笑,股票市场现在已经破产了。

Actually, no. Millionaires and billionaires can invest around inflation. High inflation for them means lower gains, not a risk of losing shelter, food, etc.

事实上不是。百万富翁和亿万富翁可以在通货膨胀时期投资。对他们来说,高通胀仅仅意味着收益较低,而不会面临失去住所、食物等的风险。

High inflation for working people means you can't pay rent, can't buy food, and can't buy medicine. Considering many Americans already can not, high inflation just makes the problem worse.

对工薪阶层来说,高通胀意味着你付不起房租,买不起食物,买不起药品。考虑到许多美国人已经做不到,高通胀只会让这个问题变得更糟。

Hope you can see how the effects of inflation, and how people react, are very different depending on your economic class.

希望你能明白,通货膨胀的影响,以及人们的反应,会因你的经济阶层而出现差异。

It isn't the capitalists. It is the Oligarchy. That they call themselves Capitalists is just a diversion. Some criminals call themselves "pillars of the community" because they distribute turkeys to everyone in the neighborhood on T-Day and Christmas. Thus the gullible ignore the crimes being committed against their neighbors.

不是资本家。而是寡头政治。他们称自己为资本家只是为了转移注意力。一些罪犯称自己为“社区的支柱”,因为他们会在最后交易日和圣诞节向社区里的每个人分发火鸡。因此,荣易受骗的人忽视了对他们邻居犯下的罪行。

This isn't capitalism. That would imply markets. These "markets" are just being rigged and the stops that are supposed to be there to protect us aren't being enforced at all.

That's why they can legislate everything to hell, but it's pretty much all in vain. Nothing ever really changes.

这就是为什么他们可以通过立法来决定一切,但这几乎都是徒劳的。什么都没有真正改变。

Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, etc, are just systems. People can abuse any one of them to make it work for them. Right now people are abusing the shit out of a capitalist economy and now we're fighting about which abusable system is more "just" and "right".

资本主义、社会主义、共产主义等都是制度。人们可以滥用其中任何一个来让它为他们工作。现在人们正在滥用资本主义经济,而我们正在为哪个可滥用的制度更“公正”和“正确”而斗争。

You don't need markets to have Capitalism, State Capitalism exists too.

资本主义不是因为市场而存在的,国家资本主义也存在。

But that's missing the point. These "rigged" markets are the natural result of Capitalism. I mean, the end goal would be one Capitalist owning all the Means of Production, in a massive economic monopoly.

但这不是重点。这些“被操纵”的市场是资本主义的自然结果。我的意思是,最终的目标是在一个巨大的经济垄断中,一个资本家拥有所有的生产资料。

Due to the feedback loop of capital -> wealth -> more capital -> repeat, as well as the nature of privately funded political campaigns, the logical conclusion of Capitalism is the complete capture of the government - the Legislature, Executive, and Judicial.

由于资本->财富->更多资本->重复的反馈循环,以及私人资助的政治运动的性质,资本主义的逻辑结论是完全攫取政府-立法、行政和司法。

To claim that this isn't Capitalism, because of political corruption and market manipulation, is to deny the very nature of Capitalism itself. These are the actions that are rewarded under this economic mode of production, because of the profit motive.

因为政治腐败和市场操纵而宣称这不是资本主义,就是否认资本主义本身的本质。在这种经济生产模式下,由于利润动机,这些行为得到了回报。

I'm pretty sure they're manipulating supply and demand curves to raise prices without raising compensation and benefits for workers thereby increasing profits.

我很确定,他们在操纵供给和需求曲线,而不提高工人的补偿和福利,以提高价格,从而增加利润。

brandonmi1
You are 100% correct. I work in supply chain right now and all of the things that need to be shipped on freights are having insane problems because the freight companies have learned they can make artificial scarcities and people will be forced to pay whatever they ask if they want their materials. For example in my work I order glass for bottling alcohol and many containers are just being held off shore on ships but we don’t have any choice other than to pay them and get the glass we need. This is also then making container shortages allowing them to drive those prices up as well and it’s just ridiculous bs directly caused by capitalism

你说的完全正确。我现在在供应链工作,所有需要用货运运输的东西都有疯狂的问题,因为货运公司知道他们可以人为制造稀缺,如果人们想要他们的材料,将被迫支付他们想要任何价格。例如,在我的工作中,我订购装酒用的玻璃杯,而许多集装箱都被扣留在离岸的船上,要想得到我们需要的玻璃杯,我们没有任何选择,只能付钱给他们。这也造成了集装箱短缺,让他们把集装箱价格也推高了,这完全是资本主义直接造成的荒谬景象。

WhyDontWeLearn
Exactly. Every time I talk with a conservative about an increase in min wage, they tell me an increase in min wage will simply cause inflation and cancel out the increase. I always agree with them that that may happen, but then I ask why does a store owner or landlord increase prices/rent simply because they know people have more money? Isn't that solid evidence that inflation is not caused by increased wages, but rather by capitalist greed?

完全正确。每次我和一个保守主义者谈论增加最低工资时,他们都告诉我增加最低工资只会引起通货膨胀,并抵消经济增长。我总是表示同意,可能会发生那种结果,但然后我问,为什么店主或房东要提高房价/租金?难道仅仅因为他们知道人们有更多的钱?这难道不是一个有力证据吗?证明了通货膨胀不是由工资上涨引起的,而是由资本主义的贪婪引起的。

Also aggregate demand prices have always had a direct lix between total input costs + a small margin which has been trending down.

此外,总需求价格总是与总投入成本和一直呈下降趋势的小利润有直接联系。

This is because you can not create a product or service at a substantial margin without attracting competition who can do the same thing for cheaper and still make a profit, therefore stealing the market share.

这是因为你不可能创造出利润丰厚的产品或服务,而不吸引竞争,而竞争对手可以以更低的价格做同样的事情,同时还能获得利润,从而窃取市场份额。

Also another aspect to the minimum wage now that we know prices are a result of input costs, why would I go be a carpenter for $16 an hour when I could make $15 at McDonald's?

最低工资的另一个方面是既然我们知道价格是投入成本的结果,当我在麦当劳可以挣15美元的情况下,我为什么要去从事一个每小时16美元的木匠工作呢?

The wages reflect scarcity of a particular skill which helps send effective price signals to the marketplace to created skilled workers where they are needed most, therefore increasing productivity and making everyone better off.

工资反映了一种特殊技能的稀缺性,这种技能有助于向市场发出有效的价格信号,在最需要技术工人的地方创造技术工人,从而提高生产率,使每个人都更富裕。

So it will be difficult if not impossible to ever raise the minimum wage to the middle class level as the carpenter will go on to demand $25 then the electrician will want $40 then the nurse will want $80 ect... getting around this is impossible because the wages reflect almost perfectly where there is a balance of people who think its worth it to get a PhD to people who don't, disruptions on that balance will lead to an eventual shortage of PHDs and an accompanied wage increase until demand is satisfied.

因此,将最低工资提高到中产阶级水平是非常困难的,甚至是不可能的,因为木匠会继续要求25美元,电工会要求40美元,护士会要求80美元,等等,并循环往复。这是不可能的,因为工资几乎完美地反映了认为值得攻读博士学位的人和不值得攻读博士学位的人之间的平衡,这种平衡的破坏将导致博士的最终短缺,并伴随着工资的上涨,直到需求得到满足。

crowntheking
I think this discounts a lot of what makes people people. I would be a carpenter for $14 dollars an hour over working at McDonalds for $15. People when given the opportunity tend to do things they like or that interest them. Acting like we would have no doctors if it wasn't a highly paid position is ridiculous.

我认为这很大程度上忽略了人之所以为人的原因。我愿意做一个每小时14美元的木匠,而不是在麦当劳工作每小时15美元。当有机会时,人们往往会做自己喜欢或感兴趣的事情。就好像如果不是高薪职位,我们就不会有医生一样,这太荒谬了。

tablehit
The nursing/doctor market in the USA is constantly fluctuating reflecting the need for new doctors along with other trades, these trends change with upcoming graduate statistics. The current wages perfectly reflect scarcity, any less, even 10% will result in major shortages. This is a fact.

美国的护理/医生市场在不断波动,这反映了对新医生和其他行业的需求,这些趋势随着即将到来的毕业生数据而变化。目前的工资水平很好地反映了稀缺的状况,少一点,即使是10%也会导致严重的短缺。这是事实。

6.2 is the lowest they could claim without everyone panicking, which allows them to quietly exit their positions in the market. They don't measure a lot of things which would, ahem, inflate that number. The CPI basket deliberately excludes commodities which are astronomical atm.
"inflation is transitory." ~ Jerome Powell, like 2 months ago

6.2%是他们能说出的不引起所有人恐慌的最低数字,这让他们能悄悄的退出他们在市场里的头寸。他们没有计算很多可能让这个数字膨胀的东西。CIP篮子故意将天文数字般的大宗商品排除在外。

TheKerpowski
No doubt this hits workers harder than the wealthy, but the wealthy don't want inflation either. It's why one of the Fed's main directives is to maintain low inflation. This is because a large portion of wealth is generated by debt payments. Those who hold that debt expect a percentage return on it. If inflation goes up, that percentage is reduced with it. Why do you think they're freaking out on CNBC about this? If it was good for them, they'd be patiently explaining how this is also good for regular folks, like they do with everything tax cuts, entitlement cuts, and everything else they want.

毫无疑问,这对工人的打击比对富人更大,但富人也不希望通货膨胀。这就是为什么美联储的主要指示之一是维持低通胀。这是因为很大一部分财富是通过偿还债务产生的。持有这些债务的人希望获得一定比例的回报。如果通胀上升,这一比例也会随之降低。你觉得他们为什么要在CNBC上对此事抓狂?如果这对他们有好处,他们就会耐心地解释为什么这对普通人也有好处,就像他们对减税、福利削减和其他一切他们想要的东西所做的那样。
