I imagine it is getting tough out there for some folks. This inflation isn't hypothetical. IT is showing up for everything. My damn German beer went up 12%, if you can get it.

I :heart; Q

Dollar stores are booming all over the country. That should tell you something about the direction the country is heading.

But as a consumer you can make choices; pass on items that you think are overpriced, and let the market work for you. Unless of course market economics under capitalism trend toward consolidation and monopoly, but heck, then you might sound like you've been reading Marx.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

Everythings fine

Yeah...NO!

Hey fatso, the skyrocketing price of kettle chips got you down?

The inflation is real, but the real inflation is tied to supply chain issues as if you reduce supply while demand stays well then no shit econ101 tells you price up. However, what appears to be happening is more cooperate greed magnifying.. Here's an example: at the grocery store cheap steaks used to sell at like $9.99 a pound, but now jumped upto $14.99, so 50% gain. But whole foods the nice dry aged ribeye used to be $22.99 now like $24.99 so what 10%. It's very unbalanced and I think you can figure why. So while I do think there is inflation, I feel cooperate greed is using it as an excuse. This will continue until the spending slows, similar phenomenon to the gas prices going up up up in 2007-8 until they peaked right before well we all know that story...

Did the price of cheese whiz go up fatty?

The inflation is real.


Corporations say they need to compensate for higher material costs, even though they are raking in record profits due to people paying more. Inflation or the Great American Fleecing?

I didn't say what sector...did I?

Nope!

The annual inflation rate in the US accelerated to 7% in the last month of 2021, a fresh high since June of 1982, in line with market expectations and compared to 6.8% in November. Energy was the biggest contributor to the gain but the rise was smaller than in November (29.3% vs 33.3%), with gasoline prices surging 49.6% vs 58.1%. Inflation accelerated however for shelter (4.1% vs 3.8%); food (6.3% vs 6.1%), namely food at home (6.5% vs 6.4%); new vehicles (11.8% vs 11.1%); used cars and trucks (37.3% vs 31.4%); apparel (5.8% vs 5%); and medical care services (2.5% vs 2.1%). Inflation spiked in 2021 due to pandemic-induced supply constraints, soaring energy costs, labour shortages, increasing demand and a low base effect from 2020. Inflationary pressures are likely to last well into the middle of 2022 and Fed Chair Powell recently pledged to do what's necessary to contain an inflation surge including increasing interest rates. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
