What creates inflation?

[Philosophy Explorer]

Every time I see this topic heading my first thought is "the big bang" and variations in density in the cosmic microwave background. Then, with disappointment, I realise it's just more bickering about social and political stuff

Are you surprised?

Under the AEP, inflation would cease to exist.

Under the imaginary AEP, the US would cease to exist traitor.

No, there would still be 49 states, but they would have to change their damn flag again. Of course, the AEP flag always stays the same with a great white abstract star on a field of red in the upper left quadrant, with shards of white light streaming from the points of the star to the border of the flag, and having the following poetic tribute:
Is it time for Americans
To cut through the haze
Of a dreary national government
Gloomier than the weather?
Can one State among our fifty
Rekindle the spirit that set us free?
Will we salute a bold new flag,
A great white star on a field of red?
Or will the yellow star of Vietnam
Confuse us on a cloudy day.

As you should know by now, AEP operations under the Champagne Sherry Principle will begin after an extensive university study pinpointing the best city in the best county in the best state for AEP headquarters.

You mean which area would be most receptive to your loony idea which will never get off the ground (btw your poetry sucks)

What is an AEP? Something seems really nutty.

Bob defines it as an "American Energy Party" which he says is only an idea in his mind for many years. Impressed?

[bobevenson]

The American Energy Party will be the only actual political party on Earth as opposed to other so-called political parties that are merely political affiliations. AEP office holders will take their marching orders directly from AEP headquarters without the slightest deviation. Furthermore, the AEP will be the world's first profit-making political organization since so-called non-profit organizations don't face the discipline of a free market. I will be happy to discuss the AEP's political position on all issues, including the modus operandi of the Champagne Sherry Principle.

Oh please do tell us what the Champagne Sherry Principle is.

[bobevenson]

Oh please do tell us what the Champagne Sherry Principle is.

I have never voted in a political election, but I did vote for Champagne Sherry for Homecoming Queen only because her boyfriend dragged me halfway across campus to do so. Her name was Sherry and her campaign slogan was "Vote for Champagne Sherry" with a picture of a couple of bubbly champagne glasses. Sherry did win the election, and I realized the best way to win an election is to get people to vote for you and not the candidate.

The best way to win an election is to have boyfriends and girlfriends drag people in to vote plus bribe and lie. That's the way to do it.
