Chuckling to myself, I could not pass up the opportunity to highlight the Oxford Dictionaries’ international word of the year for 2016, post-truth, an adjective defined as:
relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief
Why was I chuckling?
Since 2002 my research, writing and consultation to help everyday people learn the whole truth about money, wealth and the economy has fallen mostly on deaf ears. As often as possible I source public domain Federal Reserve and U.S. Government agency information, statistics and graphs to share and expound upon the realities of actual inflation, economic policies and central-bank money mechanics.
But it does not seem to matter how official my sources are when it comes to who wants to know.
