What I will say is that I heard something on NPR about a study that demonstrated the fairly obvious concept that people choose to access news/media that aligns with what they already believe.
Granted you could say I was listening to liberal government funded NPR because I believe X or Y, and just ignore whatever I have to say but the source shouldn't matter. Doesn't it just make sense that people would do that?
My point is only that it's good to listen to people with other opinions, and it's pretty weak to attack people that have different views because you just may be wrong.

You miss my point and call it a weak attack..The point is that one person can post all the "facts" that they want, and we all know that they are just cooked numbers. Reality in the real world,it tell us different. You cannot say that inflation is not happening if you are out buying products.It is obvious that it is here.
Why do you think I post to let the readers decide ? I did not "attack" him.
I own tons of several assets that are Commodity based..I see my profits.I know what is happening..I don't worry about food or gasoline because others are paying me for it.
It is obvious that we will never change each others minds. That isn't what the thread is about..It is to post ALL sides, and let people decide for themselves... Everyone will have their own view, no doctored figures will change my mind, or your mind, and that is what is cool about it. We don't have to think like each other.
So with that, I welcome John's posts, and your thoughts, because the readers need both sides to make their own choice. I personally don't care what someone thinks, I for sure am not posting to win the"argument". There is no arguing.We all have our beliefs and one thread won't change that.
And I really appreciate your post. It makes me realize that I am wasting my time on this thread. Nothing will change, and no one may be reading this but us few people..So I will leave it at that and let the facts speak in the real world, and not on paper, or the Internet.
