Just Another skewed look at inflation

I was wondering what really is the cause of all the rising prices, increasing traffic... etc... the only answer I could come up with is this...

...the Government really and truly cares for us... that's why it is using reverse psychology and creating all these hurdles...

Allow me to explain...

All studies report that, apart from 3rd world countries, obesity has drastically increased everywhere. To counter this, and b'cos governments all over are concerned about the ppl, they, i.e., the governmental decision makers decided to:

a) Raise the prices of foodstuff to almost unattainable levels: This way ppl will buy and hence consume less food, thus losing weight and becoming healthy

b) Close all major roads and their arteries, thus causing traffic jams that literally crawl. This will make ppl give up using cars and start walking. I'm sure that if you live in Bur Dubai and work in Jebel Ali, you'll reach your destination in about 6 hours of walking, instead of spending that same amount of time holed up in a car with the airconditioning on (another no-no for good health) and no exercise at all. By walking you'll not only shed all the unsightly fat, but also reduce pollution in the air and help in conserving fuel!

c) The government has increased rents to counter the negative effects of nuclear families... they want to promote the concept of joint family systems...

All that I would like to tell the governments all over the world is this... thanks for your concern, but we really don't need your help... especially this kind of help!

Rising costs of living, inflation, terrifying increases in traffic are counter-productive, causing high stress and stress-related disorders like ulcers, BP, diabetes, etc.

So please reconsider your approach and help ppl, if you want to, in a better way
