Or political system. The Republicans still have the state Senate.

Please tell us how we’re not experiencing hyperinflation.

Inflation was substantially worse in the 70s, and even then it was nowhere near what hyperinflation is. The dollar isn't going to be the common currency of international trade if there's hyperinflation, it's not going to be close to trading at that value of other stable currencies like the euro when there's hyperinflation. People would be trying like crazy to convert the USD into a stable currency, but in the US the dollar is still absolutely everywhere.

Stop letting the talking heads tell you what to be scared of, and stop repeating that shit like a parrot

So because things were worse at some point in the past, that makes the bad things OK now?

That is a non-sequitur with no relation to what you were previously claiming. If it was worse in the 70s than now and it still wasn't hyperinflation in the 70s, then it is not hyperinflation now. Stop throwing around words you think make you sound like a big brain boy just because someone scared you into thinking the word was applicable when it wasn't.

That wasn’t my claim, it was yours.

Hyperinflation is when the monthly inflation rate exceeds 50%, or the yearly inflation rate exceeds 12874.63%. The current inflation is a problem, but it's certainly not hyperinflation.
