"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Deflation is nothing to brag about. It's even worse than inflation, other than Zimbabwe-style. Think of Japan's economy for the past 20 years - that's deflation.

So energy prices do NOT cause inflation or deflation. For if they did, with oil prices down 70%, deflation would be profound. Disinflation is not deflation.
Disinflation isn't a word.

Inflation is a function of energy prices, supply of money (spending), and demand for money (interest rates). Energy prices is the key variable, because the Central bank has full control over the supply and demand of money.

If you pay attention to the graph, when the cost of oil goes up, interest rates historically rise with it to ease inflation. The target rate is set by the government at 2%, which means interest rates and easing will be used to get as close to that target rate as possible.

Inflation is not simply about supply and demand for money, as Japan has been using stimulus and 0% interest rates for decades with no success at stimulating inflation, due to falling demand (rapidly aging population).
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Disinflation is a decrease in the rate of inflation – a slowdown in the rate of increase of the general price level of goods and services in a nation's gross domestic product over time. It is the opposite of reflation.

Yes, actually we have. We cut the deficit by well over 200% since 2008, interest rates have remained at historic lows, and the price of oil has plummeted. We had deflation the last quarter of 2015, not inflation.



No, it's not. Energy prices cause inflation. Interest rates are adjusted to achieve the target inflation rate of 2%.
They've been keeping the interest rate artificially low. That's not a good thing at all.

"Artificially low" doesn't mean anything. They set the interest rates. They raise them as a response to an economy that is overheating. Keeping them low is supposed to boost the economy, which it hasn't. The economy isn't growing because Public Sector Spending has been decreasing steadily since 2008. Austerity doesn't help the economy. Quite the opposite.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Keeping them artificially low never boosts the economy.

They set interest relative to the demand of credit. So If there is a demand for credit and they keep it at 0% , it's artificially low.

You're about as economically illiterate as Bernie Sanders, maybe more. You really need to research this topic more thoroughly before you attempt to debate. You're making yourself look like an idiot.

Nope, it is caused by energy prices. Read the graph. It is supply and demand, pal. There's no energy shortage because the global supply has increased due to domestic oil. Every time there was an oil shortage, inflation shoots up.
Note the very "close relationship" to changes in the oil price and the US Consumer Price Index.
LOL Pee Wee.

Keep tap dancing Pee Wee. The more you type, the funnier this gets.

fycking moron. there was PLENTY of inflation before petroleum ever existed as a usable item. the GOVT causes inflation, by creating more money than there is productivity increase to justify there being more money. over 90% of the "money" created is not printed as paper currency, it's just a number in a computer, transferred to different banks, all over the world.

When has austerity been tried in the United States?

NEVER.
We're in a period of Austerity right now.

Keeping them artificially low never boosts the economy.

They set interest relative to the demand of credit. So If there is a demand for credit and they keep it at 0% , it's artificially low.
And what do you think demand for credit is based on, smart guy?

You're about as economically illiterate as Bernie Sanders, maybe more. You really need to research this topic more thoroughly before you attempt to debate. You're making yourself look like an idiot.
Yea ok. Call me when you understand how modern money works.

So back to my original questions....If oil is the cause of inflation

How did oil cause the inflationary problem Rome went through?
You're being a smartass. The oil-fiat currency dynamic is relevant from 1971, when it replaced the gold-standard.

The inflationary problem in Rome has the same causes as hyperinflation today - political instability and / or significant amounts of foreign debt.

Why is only Venezuela just going through hyperinflation right now and no other country?
Why did only Zimbabwe undergo hyperinflation last decade?
Political instability and / or significant amounts of foreign debt.

Would you like wood for your strawman, or do you just enjoy being obtuse?

Why does the oil vs. CPI graph start in 1971... hmmm?

Oooopf!

No one said otherwise. You're also failing to mention the central bank sets the interest rates.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
