Time Orientation

We took our dogs to the vet last week. The bill for two annual checkups plus a couple of shots and a couple of packs of ivermectin based heartworm medication was about $1000. In the early 2000s, it cost about $80-90 for one dog annual checkup and medications. Annualized inflation of $90 to $500 from 2008 to 2026 is about 10%. The supposed official inflation rate over that time is like 3%. The inflation calculator predicts the current day vet bill should only be $140 if it was $90 in 2008. 

One theory about the wild vet bills is corporate and financial scumbags bought up all the vet practices in the US, so there's basically a cartel running the business, just like a cartel runs the medical business. I can imagine that's the case, but it's not the root cause. The root cause is debt dollars and people's overall time orientation.

Currently people believe the future is entirely owned by some financial trash people. For anything to happen in the present day, a business needs a loan. The loans are just digits the bank puts in an account. People then "work" to pay back the debt. A loan is a promise to work in the future.

When you own property, you have the opposite time orientation. You did all the work in the past. Now you have a valuable thing like a piece of property or a piece of gold, or a car or whatever. You don't have to do anything that doesn't add value or improve your situation. In that scenario you own your future and financial scumbags are seen as the obvious parasites they are.

The debt money economy has slowly morphed into a managerial economy, which is actually how the cartel vet business came about and why the vet business will turn into something like the medical industry in the US, which is another cartel business that's completely controlled into a giant rent seeking machine. People pay an enormous monthly fee to insurance companies to participate in the system. The insurance companies became big management cartels of the awful medical business in the US. They are apparently trying to do the same with vets.

The managerial component of this shitty system gets more invasive with each passing year. These vermin want to micromanage and track every aspect of people's lives. This is only possible because people believe in the debt money system.
