    Contrary to what the constitution intended. We, the public, have no way to affect the course of government. All that is left is for us is to adapt. You have it right.

    You are using Milton Friedman's thinking. Which has been rejected by mainstream economists.

    IOW, not my opinion..

    You don't like learning in a forum. Fine. So either stay wrong, or get going.

    What mainstream economists or any economists think is meaningless to me. Did you read the post to which you replied?

    According to Biden the best way to fight inflation is to pick a new target to derainge each week while proclaiming it's not my fault and the Republicans should fix it.

    Increase the offer, that is to say increase the production or the import and inflation with decrease.

    It's easy to say, but there are contextual factors which make this really difficult [if a producer of steel at Mariupol has lost his factory the offer of steel will decrease, no way, and the price of steel will increase].

    But this is the right way [theoretically].
