Yeah, because if we know one thing, it’s that a group of people never has outlandish and crazy beliefs.

Yeah and that is the big lie right there. People have become so indoctrinated with the idea that profit seeking and unbridled greed is somehow neutral and can be trusted compared to things people might decide. That democracy is itself the problem, not the influence of capital on democracy. That we need to abdicate all power to protect us from the people with the crazy ideas. Instead we now get the best or worst of both worlds, capital using the most extreme beliefs to make money or gain power and social media pushing polarization for profit.

The inflation myth is a common fallacy btw. That only happens when essential goods (with "non elastic demand") become scarce.

PS: Anyway, I did say these things are unthinkable

Just because you're wrong about something doesn't mean the idea is unthinkable.
