Why there will be more civil unrest to come.

Riots and looting seemingly for no political reason.

In Chicago

In Los Angeles

And this is when the economy is (supposedly) doing great, inflation is still high but (supposedly) falling, and unemployment is (supposedly) at record lows.

I confess I fail to understand why so many politico leaders admire dictatorships and want to convert their democracy to one. Maybe it really is all about power.

You understand just fine.

If government is able to control your access to money, either by making you dependent on them for an income, or by taking control of your bank account, and then ties it to something like a "social score" database, then they can use money as a means of social control.

Exactly what Canada did during the Trucking strike. Not to mention that the fed controlling interest rates basically controls what people (and companies) can afford when it comes to buying and making things like houses, goods, and borrowing for big ticket items.

And now I'm sad. Knowledge may be power, but it does not bring happiness.

Still I think it is better in the long run than the "bliss" ignorance can bring.

You reminded me of a quote by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, "Truth hurts." In our age of comfort, no wonder no one wants the truth.

Why the latest democrat inflation scapegoat narrative -- "corporate greed" -- is wrong (or just an intentional lie).

Well, we know why it's wrong because I've explained in great detail why prices are rising, which is a system of inflation (money printing). But this article specifically focuses on why corporate greed is not the cause of sudden rising prices. To the contrary, the PPI shows that businesses are likely HOLDING BACK raising prices to offset the inflation negatively affecting their own profit margin...

(bold emphasis mine)
No, Inflation Is Not a Product of Corporate Greed

Last time around they blamed unions' greed, and used it as an excuse to crush unions. Having done that, they don't have unions to use as scapegoats, so they find a new one.

Certainly truth hurts - usually the one who speaks it.

That certainly fits the context of the quote.
