To run inflation higher for longer, three things have to happen: oil prices stay capped so inflation doesn’t turn explosive, everything else keeps getting more expensive — rents, food, services, insurance, tax….. anyone recognise this? …… and currencies quietly lose purchasing power while hard assets reprice higher. The pound and dollar don’t collapse, they just buy less each year, while property, land, gold and silver outperform.
This is how debt has been eroded for decades without outright currency collapse
Donald Trump is a businessman, not an ideologue. Businessmen control input costs. That’s why Venezuelan oil control is important, flexible supply that helps cap energy prices, stabilise inflation, and protect a system drowning in debt. Low oil keeps people calm, inflation erodes debt, and hard assets win.
