Well calling the guy an idiot will definitely help him feel better about already being badgered and browbeat into not posting anymore. Good job! 👍

Changes in the economy can and does create opportunities and in some cases opportunities for new ventures and new startups. Stagnation has given us a lot of centralization, will it be good to reduce some of that? What may be the cost? For how long and for who? Inflation for those planting 300 million acres of commodity crops will be very high for the coming year and food and fiber transfer into increases that few can avoid.

Start your own company. Then you can pay the workers whatever they want. See how long you are in business.


When people think top 10 % they think millionaires. $150,000 is top 10%. Probably top 1 percent for the world.

56% of adult Americans own stock, so the average "Joes" most definitely do own stock.

https://www.fool.com/research/how-many-americans-own-stock/

Stock prices are inflating just like the majority of other items for sale in America. America is not doing well.

One big mistake in this article is the obvious.
It claims 145 million people own stock. 145 million is NOT 54% of the US CITIZENS ! The reported US CITIZENS was roughly 331 million. Even Ky math 145 ain't 54 % of 331

You seem to have missed the word ADULT in Keith's reply.
209 million over 18 in the US.
You need to learn to do some research.

Yes, those millionaires and billionaires have pallets of cash horded in their basements. Surely their "worth" isn't tied up in physical assets, property, and investments... That can't be it.

And all those corporations with record profits sit on all of it. They never pay out dividends or increase the value of the people who invested and bought a share of that corporation.

Economic illiteracy... the bread and butter of envy and marxist class struggle.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has significantly ramped up its holdings of Treasury securities as part of a broader effort to counteract the economic impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Currently, the Federal Reserve holds more Treasury notes and bonds than ever before.

As of July 14, 2021, the Federal Reserve has a portfolio totaling $8.3 trillion in assets, an increase of about $3.6 trillion since March 18, 2020. Longer-term Treasury notes and bonds (excluding inflation-indexed securities) comprise nearly two-thirds of that expansion, with holdings of those two types of securities doubling from $2.2 trillion on March 18, 2020, to $4.5 trillion on July 14, 2021.

Maybe they will be able to start selling these off? smile

One thing that I'll never figure out is why people insist others pay more taxes instead of demanding everyone pay less. Especially when the entities that they want to pay more taxes will just pass that cost along to the consumer.

Inflation is measured in several places across the country. In some areas it is higher than others. But the same methods are used everywhere so that an overall WEIGHTED AVERAGE" can be determined for a given time period. Some items in the basket of goods may go up in certain areas and down in others.

The other thing to factor in here is that inflation is increasing WORLDWIDE. Not just in the USA. What is going on in the world that is affecting labor markets, and supply chain issues ? Something we won't talk about but certainly has an impact.


If you really think that overall inflation in the US is averaging greater than 7% annually, please explain to me why the 10 year treasury yield is only 1.72 % currently .


It stands to reason that inflation is a worldwide issue. Every central bank in advanced economies cranked the presses in 2020. QE isn't only a US phenomenon.

Real inflation is greater than 7 percent and I believe you know why 10 year rates are artificially low.

Eventually the market will set the rates.

If the inflation we are currently experiencing is a result of labor and supply shortages caused by the elephant in the room it would be transitory. Even the FED has finally realized there is nothing transitory about this.

They tried that in 2018 when the economy was supposedly red hot. It failed and QE began anew in august of 19.

THE FED is trapped.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned that the CPI excludes the cost of food and fuel in its calculation.

The government removed those 2, I believe in the '70's because it made the inflation % look to high when the "average" person was told what it was.

I've raised my prices 8% and then again 9% in the last 6 months. My suppliers are still raising theirs so I'll soon be raising them again, probably another 8 or 9%.

something that could affect inflation that I haven't heard anyone speak of is that the West Coast Dockworkers contract expires July 2022 - guess who has ALL of the leverage in those negotiations? things are bad enough now as it pertains to ships being unloaded - what happens if things come to a complete standstill? - something to think about
