History of inflation in the US

You’ve probably heard of the term “doomer” or “prepper.” In fact, when a crisis is very clearly on the horizon (like, I don’t know, a global pandemic), everyone becomes a prepper.

Decentralizing the surveillance state

Worrying about privacy and surveillance is not a new thing. Hundreds of years ago people panicked about the government opening mail.
