If this keeps up, we might all long to have the machines take over.

In this episode, the Inflation Guy discusses the victory of a socialist candidate in the New York City mayoral primary this week - and, even if we would like to hope that he has no chance of winning in the general election...he does. Ergo, we should probably think a little bit about what socialism means for inflation.

Really, nothing about socialism is great. And that includes inflation.
