There was a Tennessee Rep or Sen on Bartiromo the other day complaining about Biden and the fact that eggs and cheese and butter were all up significantly in price over the past year....and he has done nothing ... not only is that dumb as fucktarded as can be but if that is their logic (which is flawed) she should have thanked Biden for bringing gas dwom from $5 to $3.50 haha....
These are hte blank sailings being reported now a lot... carriers are skipping ports or reducing frequency of sialings to limit capacity and stop rates from falling. Manzanillo, MX was at 13,000 in May/June and now getttgin $4,000 a container. Fuck the carriers for the gouging.
How dare you suggest gouging happens in our sacred capitalistic market when the real reason is Bidenflation?
Chief economist says US headed to recession that was ‘totally avoidable’ https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday...aded-to-recession-that-was-totally-avoidable/ Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz’s chief economic adviser, said on Sunday that the U.S. is heading toward a recession that was “totally avoidable” amid ongoing concerns about inflation and economic stability. “I fear that we risk a very high probability of a damaging recession that was totally avoidable,” El-Erian told CBS’ “Face the Nation,” arguing that the Federal Reserve has made mistakes that will “go down in the history books.” “One is mischaracterizing inflation as transitory. By that, they meant it is temporary, it’s reversible, don’t worry about it. That was mistake number one. And then mistake number two, when they finally recognized that inflation was persistent and high. They didn’t act. They didn’t act in a meaningful way,” El-Erian said. The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates to try to tamp down inflation as worries about a potential recession grow. The United Nations last week warned of a global recession as international economies take action to curb inflation. A survey released last week found that nearly 9 in 10 global CEOs expect a recession in the next year. “Even [Federal Reserve] Chair Powell has gone from looking for a soft landing to soft-ish landing to now talking about pain. And that is the problem. That is the cost of a Federal Reserve being late. Not only does it have to overcome inflation, but it has to restore its credibility,” El-Erian said of the economic institution.
This is a pretty good thread about “money printing” brrrr and the Fed need to have an ultra large balance sheet to avoid actually destroying the American dollar.
Sure as hell not transitory. Core US Inflation Rises to 40-Year High, Securing Big Fed Hike Prices excluding food and energy increased 6.6% from year ago Shelter, food and medical care contribute most to broad rise https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-40-year-high-securing-big-fed-hike#xj4y7vzkg
Fed is losing because this inflation scenario is not a money supply problem. All they are doing is sinking an economy for no good reason.
Sounds stupid but it’s probably the truest thing you ever said. Glad you didn’t washed away in that hurricane. Did everything work out for you?
