Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?


I don't have any specific example but just from looking at it overall, it seems like high-end components prices have really risen more than inflation.  

Or may be it is must me?

I take few minutes to wrote the post...

This information is everywhere...

And i dont like when another people call someone i know "conspirationist"...

I like posting some arguments...If you prefer to call an argumewnt an exercise it is ok...

If you dont like "arguments" simple one, in this case simple graphs, and the meaning of their few end nodes i apologize...

But for each one his plate...I must answer sometimes to someone insulting me or another one... with no insults and WITH ARGUMENTS...

If you have a counter argument in this discussion or "exercise" i will welcome it and answer it...But i answer to insult also in some case....In other case silence is the best politic...

By the way i am retired and i had taken my journey in audio with passion, i made many discoveries...Acoustic being the most important one for the last 2 years...With plenty of time i answer to some here...You cannot reproach me that, i try to stay polite with humor but i am a bit heavy in english prose, i never spoke a word of english here , and i never travel a lot . Reading and music keep me glued on my seat...😁😊

My best to you...

Do you spend alot of time with these exercises?

 

In 2021 Thomas Piketty concluded that approximately 3,000 billionaires control 3% of the world's wealth.  The bottom 50% of income earners control 2%.  This level of income inequality rivals the Gilded Age of more than a century ago.

Numbers and facts matter.

Numbers and facts matter.

Yes they matter indeed...

But the conceptual dymanic behind interpretation of numbers matter more...

The control imposed on humanity is not well understood by the Piketty numbers only : «The richest 10% of the population now takes 52% of global income and the poorest half just 8%, it said.»

It is way clearer if we put all this on a graph trees analysis...

Because at the end ONLY three ou 4 nodes at the pyramidal peak control all the rest directly or indirectly...the powerful people DONT NEED TO OWN EVERYTHING nor to be the richest...Only idiots or narcissist superficial personality want to be known all around the world...Powerful man search for power not for celebrity...Their ego dont need to be assured by others at all ...

Then it is worst situation than the situation depicted by Picketty in a simple linear way...

All humanity is controlled by few people, an oligarchic class that cannot be reduced to wealth at all...

One of the most powerful man in the planet is the technocrat director of the B.I.S. for example who is very poor compared to Gates but not less powerful and not known , ask his name even to Biden, he will stay mute...... The Blackrock investment fund financial director Larry Fink has more power than Bill Gates and he is very "poor" compared to him...

«The world’s three largest asset managers (BlackRock, Vanguard, and UBS) alone control $21 trillion, roughly equivalent to the entire U.S. economy in 2017 and nearly twice as much as the entire world’s hedge fund, private equity, and venture capital industries combined.»

People who think they are free now in Canada or US read comic books...We mimic marxist China social control method now , methods which were invented in the British empire anyway, and the Chinese surpassing us here nowaydays appeared to be our master in the covid crisis social control... We then imitated them or our governments under the heavy fist of the corporate lobbys imitated them and cannot wait to geolocalize our body information... Ask our friend Bill Gates...For our benefit for sure, think the comic book reader of captain America...
