Ponzi World (Over 3 Billion NOT Served)

The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery.

But, but, but, the strong dollar is correlated to both deflation and oil. Right?

Not anymore. Deflation is now beyond what the (inverted) dollar (black) would predict. And hence oil above, is also below what the dollar would predict as well.

The monster is off the leash...

All of which means that deflation is out of control. And the real deflation hasn't even arrived. Yet.
