The whole system is rigged now, over a quadrillion issued by the big banks in derivitives to manipulate the whole game, ICE is one way they manipulate fuel prices uo with phantom orders.

This is a full blown hit job on free and open markets world wide being executed by a regime with unlimited purchasing tickets to drive the whole system as they see fit.

I went to Disneyland in 1989 and remembered that the price was about $25. How can it increase that much? That's insane. Who would pay $130 for Disneyland? It's like they are discriminating against the poor. There should be a boycott of Disneyland.
Btw, another "price increase":
- When I go to strip clubs, the strippers aren't happy with a $20 lap dance anymore. They want to go for the $100 five lap dance special in the VIP room now. Wtf?

Disneyland receives 2 types of visitors, the locals and the tourists. Tourists tend to spend more per person and are the preferred customers. The ticket prices are adjusted according to demand. When park attendance is up, they raise ticket prices so the park does not become overly crowded. When park attendance is down, they lower the prices for Southern California residents to attract more locals. As of 2010 it was still possible for SoCal residents to buy passes that were as low as $36 per visit. Due to recent increase in park attendance, the SoCal passes are no longer offered.

This is purely a business decision as the park cannot simply grow on demand to accommodate more than 16 million visitor per year. They did build California Adventures, but understand that park expansions carry long-term fixed costs that doesn't go away regardless of how well you're doing.

As for strip clubs, all that I'll say is why pay $100 for lap dances when you can pay the same (or a bit more) and get a massage + happy ending elsewhere.

The answer to your question has been posted many times.

Inflation is actually affecting many parts of the world, not just the U.S.

The Federal Reserve continues to print fiat currency that's not backed by anything and this has been going on since 1971, when Nixon took the U.S. dollar off the gold standard and convinced the rest of the world to do the same.

The dollar continues to lose its purchasing power because the Federal Reserve keeps printing the U.S. dollar causing prices to go up.

Start buying silver, food and water storages because the markets will collapse within the next decade.

Where did you go Silver energy? , nice to have you back. You are definitely right about those thieving crackers. They want to take credit for everything and want to just steal everything with lies and cons.
