5. Criminals have cut brake lines before to kill drivers on a mountainous road

But when the driver controls the road crews and tells them to remove the guardrail... and then sprays water to form an ice sheet... and then announces that he's going to keep driving straight at the hairpin turn... and then accelerates as he heads down the hill...

... speculating that someone else killed him by cutting the brake line is irresponsible and irrational.

We know what happens when the government more than quadruples the amount of currency in circulation in two years. You can't blame the inflationary impact from that on someone other than the government that's printing the currency (and which is almost certainly lying when pretending that it's only a 4-fold increase). We know what happens when governments implement price controls that set the price for good below the cost of production.
