I can easily fit three of our local "Monay" bread in my mouth because inflation shrunk it so much

The common local bread we call "Monay" for snacks,


When I wanted a quick snack in-between my meals, I will usually ask Mother to fix me a single serving of this local bread. You can already determine its size based on the mouth of my mug and I just want you to see that it really had become smaller and because of it the weigh is more lighter. But I don't think that our local bakeries around will make it any smaller because doing that will already affect the integrity of this type of bread. What I am foreseeing is that they will just make it more expensive and will refrain from selling piece by piece to the customers which I guess that they are already doing because the bread is just so small and buying it a piece at a time will be more expensive than purchasing it in a six pack configuration. You will wonder why it is sold in six packs, well actually it is because that when retail variety stores we call "sari-sari" stores buy them, they will be paying for five pieces of Monay bread, the sixth Money when sold will be their profit. That is why when bakeries sells them in packs like in this case when a "sari-sari" store buy two packs, they will profit from the value of two monay bread when they totally sold the bread. But now sari-sari stores no longer sells Monay because consumers can buy it directly to the local bakery in or near their village or barrios where they live. Anyway, with the size and cost of bread like this, I couldn't help but to feel frustrated because basic commodities with higher value also had been hit hard by the global economic hardship which is in full swing because of inflation.

Our economy had gone harder to spin all throughout my existing life after realizing it many years ago because the price of the fare in transport is so forbidding now that many people had already opted-in for buying motorcycles so that they can practically save some money. The general price of gas also had played the main role of making our lives harder because the countries that sell most of them also have to adjust the prices higher so that they can cope with inflation due to the devaluing of the dollar because of two reason namely t make it more competitive against other FIAT currency because trading factor of USA for the reason of supporting their own economy which is quite pointless because of the second factor that is the root cause of inflation which is the over-printing of dollars so that the US government can remain in power militarily and economically. What I mean by that is that the US government have to remain functioning and what they have to do is to make other nations to use the dollar forcibly no matter what because it will mean the end of not only the existence of USA but also everything under the sun economically if justice will be done to correct this world's financial system.

That is why the problem about the financial system is being solved by more debt to keep it from not collapsing. It is a perpetual Ponzi scheme where it seems that there is nothing really can be able to solve this monetary system's problem other than to write out everybody's debt, use Bitcoin as currency, and start from zero. Well, of course it will not happen because not every people living in the face of the earth is a hero because there are some entities that had lost their collective minds to basically rule the world and sadly it is already happening in our world currently. That is why we are all experiencing hardships in our daily lives now and everyone is struggling especially the ones that are in the working class because no matter how much they earn, it is hopeless to earn because the prices of all things are kept on rising while the wages are not being adjusted because if there will be a raise then guess what? the cost of it will get to be repaid by increasing the product and services created by the company or the employer and those that use such products and services again will bear it all and thereby it inflates everything again and generally will not solve the need for a higher wage.

It is like when your country's FIAT currency gets devalued against the the dollar, so when you are earning dollars, you will get more of your country's currency but when it comes to spending all that earned money will get to be spent faster because the price of goods and services will also increase in prices because your country will have to pay more of using its currency for paying a now more valuable dollar. That is why the cost of this bread in the photo above also had gone more expensive and smaller at the same time because we have to buy the ingredients of it with many of our country's FIAT money for a more relative US dollar and the bakers have no choice but to make the size of this "Monay" bread smaller so that people can at least have a monay although it is much smaller and more airy but more expensive these days.

The big Elephant in the room must therefore be solved once and for all but this statement can be compared to by saying, "Let's douse the Sun's fire by using the earth's ocean" it cannot simply happen even if we can do that because the situation had gone impossible to solve as the US government main politicians, its treasury department, and the Federal Reserve Bank group had created a monster too powerful to beat down. Although the FED seems to be doing something, it is just making the people's lives in ruins considering that we live in a modern age, our financial system had began more dumber in its operations because it is manned by greedy bastards who wants to control everyone just like big businesses in this world which also had been powerful enough to control the politicians, leader in high places, judges, and regulators to side with them for their benefit and not for the welfare of the general public which is what for one example, our foods are laden with chemicals from additives to pesticides which for the long-term consumption will make us develop diseases like cancer and such.

Thanks @frankbacon
The financial system is grossly broken and for BTC holders we can make use of it for selling high and buying low for the reason that big entities using BTC like Blackrock had already figured out how BTC movements works and all we have to do is to ride their waves with a time tested technique to profit which is to sell high and buy low because it will be the norm for now as we see it already happening. But one thing is for sure, the BTC holders by mere holding BTC and not trading it will gain more in the long run and it makes me more than happy.

Really funny. "Munay" means a lady's private part in the slang language of Ilonggo!😅

I really have no idea about the Ilonggo term for vag but I am aware that it is called "puday" maybe in Visayan language when one of my friends mentioned it when we are hanging out outside with some of our friends.

The term for "it" in Cebuano/Visayan is really "bilat". "Puday" could be another slang term for it in Tagalog.😅
