The 2021-2022 Inflation Discussion Thread

And it's funny how the Fed Chair will sit there and lie to people's faces about prices coming back down. When these people raise housing prices, they don't bring them back down willingly.

Are we going to listen to the same folks that haven't predicted the future ever or go with what we are seeing happening? Did they tell us markets would crash last year or back in 2008 we would have a recession beforehand?

Food is not the only thing being hit. Construction prices are 3-4x higher since the pandemic started. Commodity prices have gone up. The dollar is losing value. Everything has pretty much become more expensive.

Did you go to auburn?

because only a dummy that would dare go to that school would type what’s in the OP

We understand inflation since the recession has been essentially non existent right? So don't you think at some point market dynamics are going to dictate things to increase eventually?

If you average out from 09 to 21 it's essentially non existent. shyt we only had 2 years since the recession that inflation was above 2.5% and only ONE year of 3.

Yall need to do your homework instead of worrying about clickbait.

Look deeper than the tip of your nose. History is repeating itself. One example, before Ancient Rome declined they started to mix metals in their coins instead of them being pure silver they became bronze coated with silver. The United States started doing this type of thing decades ago. There's patterns to these things. The decline of nations have patterns. The U.S. has been following patterns of decline for nearly a generation. The financial center buildings of the U.S. being destroyed on 9/11 was a harbinger.

It's not as simple as let's raise price because we can. There's a bullwhip effect in the economy that's going to effect prices for sometime. By bullwhip, I mean small price increases upstream cause large price increases downstream.

The price of raw materials is up dramatically. Metal and wood for instance are double.

The supply chain for my company is fukked.

If you ever want to know where the direction of the economy is headed, pay attention to the transportation/trucking market.

There's something called the "DAT Ratio". It almost directly correlates to price increases in everything. When the DAT Ratio goes up, essentially suppliers have to pay more money to move materials around. Inevitably, that gets passed onto the consumer; industrial, commercial, and private.

This will really factor in when you throw in the minimum wage increase.

At the core of inflation lies greed.

Inflation is caused by an increase in the money supply, not greed. Greed is a human constant that has always existed. Money supply fluctuates
