More inflation anecdotes:

Went to the grocery store the other day for paper towels. A six pack of big Bounty paper towels was $10 like six months ago, now it's $18.

Here are a few charts on other commodities, straight up since Sleepy Joe.

Going to fun to heating homes if we have a bad winter.

So the only negative year/year print on any of these items is... wait for it... medical care commodities... during Covid. You can't make this shit up!

Something tells me all our externalized costs of mass production are starting to be internalized.

Welcome to the real costs of things. RIP, world of artificially cheap crap.

And btw, Amazon never had free shipping...

Look around. It's not like inflation is exclusive to the U.S. right now. Yes, the U.S. is getting hit a bit more, but it has opened its economy sooner.

When US was at 5%+ and a 13-year high, Euro inflation was north of 2% and UK 2.5%, and it was happening in Asia.

Now reports are that Euro inflation is at a 13-year high: https://www.reuters.com/world/europ...-year-high-worsening-ecb-headache-2021-10-01/

And today, inflation at the source in China's factories: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/14/economy/china-inflation-gdp-supply-chains-intl-hnk/index.html - the costs of goods being shipped out is rising at the highest rate ever recorded.

If blaming Brandon makes you feel better, great. But that is all that's going to accomplish for you. Labor, supply chains, production costs, etc. seem to be taking a hit almost everywhere.

I don't care about feelings or being socially appropriate, maybe that's why i don't stick my head in the sand and at evey turn try to defend brandon to deal with my dissonance.

BDS isn't any better than TDS. But get rid of Biden, and that doesn't explain what's going on in Europe and China right now.

Should the govt interfere and regulate the prices for these companies in the private sector?

Should the govt interfere and regulate the prices for these companies in the private sector?

These aren't companies per se, they are the commodities futures market which occur on regulated exchanges. The government could impose price ceilings on stuff, but then you basically destroy the capacity to produce and shortages arrive, so it doesn't work.

The answer isn't government doing anything - other than stop fucking spending so much goddamn money they don't have!

Sure, it isn't just Brandon. But Brandon wants to spend trillions in funds he doesn't have, borrowing and spending into oblivion for shit that doesn't matter and we can't afford, going into debt with the Fed and foreign creditors that inherently causes the value of the dollar to plummet. While at the same time shutting off productive capacity for US energy sources. You can't keep doing this and expect inflation to be "under control" which is what they always say. This is runaway inflation at this point, and it's under Brandon's regime.

Trump allowed fracking, trump told the green fucks to beat it, trump stopped saudi/russia nonsense at OPEC. Brandon takes naps. But yeah who am i to hold the president responsible for the deteriorating of the economy and lifestyle of every day people. A rude awalening beckons.

Yep, Brandon wants everyone paying $5 at the pump so they buy the new Ford electric vehicle, or $40 to refill their propane tank for their grill. 50% of households use propane or nat gas during the winter, so he probably wants everyone's pipes freezing to you know, help the economy. Broken windows theory and all.

But Europe is getting hammered on power and gas prices: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...nder-a-worsening-energy-squeeze?sref=U0wOqcqE
And even India is undergoing a coal crisis: https://espresso.economist.com/1ffef630011b95d233d7dd7c7b078568

Things are getting bizarro everywhere.

 

[pavluska]

What country will we spread freedom and divert Afghanistan funds to now to lower gas prices? Any new countries in Africa or will it be just more bombing in Syria?

Bookmakers got Trump in 24.
I guess the director of CIA going to Afghanistan to make a poppy seed deal with the Taliban and leave them wrapped up presents in the form of military equipment is bad for ones popularity. Who knew.

Demonrats have an incredible ability to shoot themselves in the foot. After Trump it should've been easy.

I have a feeling we won't get so lucky and both will run. Debates will need to be carefully scheduled between Trump's heart attacks and Biden's "good days"

Trump will run purely out of ego and spite, Biden will run because the Dems will sabotage their own progressive candidates and be forced to blackmail the poor old fuck into running again.
