Corporate Profits Take Priority Over People
“Oh my goodness. We cannot let corporate profits go down.” That was the stark observation as Lynette Zang analyzed the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) report. The PPI measures wholesale inflation, and according to recent data, inflation appeared to cool in August. But Lynette questioned what the numbers really mean.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) compiles this data, and its reports are frequently revised. “How much do you want to trust this?” Lynette asked. “Is this really accurate, or is it about moving forward an agenda?” Her point is clear: official data often tells only part of the story.
Corporations may be temporarily absorbing tariff costs, but the motive is not public service. “We don’t want it to hurt corporate profits,” Lynette warned. When you look at the Federal Reserve’s own charts, corporate profits remain the focus especially during times of economic stress.
The Hidden Cost of Inflation
Even since 2020, corporate profits have spiked dramatically. Lynette questioned whether corporations are truly absorbing costs or instead using inflation, tariffs, and currency devaluation to their advantage.
Foreign goods are entering the U.S. at higher prices, and companies are able to charge more. “I think it’s just hiding the truth,” Lynette said. While official numbers suggest stability, consumers are left paying the difference through higher prices and shrinking purchasing power.
Debt, Deflation, and the Illusion of Stability
Governments and corporations continue to push for lower interest rates and deflationary policies to manage unsustainable debt levels. But as Lynette emphasized, “You cannot fix a too-much-debt problem with even more debt.” The system depends on perpetual borrowing to stay afloat, leaving ordinary people exposed to financial instability and the threat of hyperinflation.
The Power of Tangible Assets
In a world of manipulated statistics and debt-driven economies, Lynette urges people to protect themselves with tangible assets. “Make sure that you have something real and tangible,” she said. Physical gold and silver stand apart as the only financial assets that carry no counterparty risk when held in your possession.
As Lynette often reminds her audience, “If you don’t hold it, you don’t own it.” Physical gold and silver are not only tools for wealth preservation but essential components of sound money strategies. They provide protection against inflation, currency devaluation, and economic collapse preparation key steps toward true financial freedom.
