A good video for anons who's interested.
A few take-a-ways:
10:04
"The Fed is loosing control on the price of money"
10:14
"Either the Fed is going to have to cede control over the price of money, in which case, we don't need the Fed anymore. Or they are going to have to cede control over the quantity of money"
Hence, print to infinity…
They've been fucking with the way they calculate the CPI for decades. I'm not sure anon's assessment of PM's exchange rates will be accurate, when its all said an done. Obviously, its still a good idea to exchange now for PM while the dollar has higher value rather than later when they print to infinity.
John Williams @ Shadow Government Statistics still calculates the CPI pre-fucking (1980). Its propably not entirely accurate either, since it takes into account 1980 consumer spending habits (no cell phones for example), but its still a stable measurement.

We're talking somewhere around 8X more inflation than the CPI calculates. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle of the CPI and SS-CPI.
