Inflation.....

[justoffal]

Why do people laugh when politicians stick out their chests and decry low inflation? Basically because it means nothing for cost.
So you pay $200.00 a week for groceries. Let's for the purpose of argument assume that you buy exactly the same items every week faithfully and
that you are a good comparison shopper. In six months time you find that the very same basket of goods now costs $215.00. So you're rate of inflation for this
particular period is 1.075% and this is supposed to make you happy you ungrateful little bitch! Don't you know how good that is? You point out that you are $15.00 poorer per
week....but then it gets dumped on your " Dumb, uneducated ass " that the dollar has gained value in that same period of time so you're really not out the $15.00 you thought you
were out. You check your bank account....and wonder what the hell they are talking about...because as far as you're concerned you're still $15.00 poorer.

Next six months goes by. The price of the basket goes up to $225.00. Yay! Inflation has actually gone down! Why are you not happy? Peer reviewed economic reports say that you are doing well! However the reports do not tell you where that extra $10.00 went.....you know you don't have it ...but wait! You're not smart enough to know that! See....you don't have a degree in economics so you're not qualified to say that you are out the ten! Then of course your property taxes go up because the municipality uses REAL ECONOMICS to disperse their obligations and their money men are telling them that the dollar has actually devalued and that they need more of them to pay the same bills they paid last year. The Feds will tell you that the dollar is strong and that you should be happy! The CPI does not give a shit about your property taxes....they don't consider it a worthy number and if you do that's your problem because remember....you're not a smart person. Then it continues....cost rises....the CPI dances around it to tell you that it's all in your imagination....your bank account tells you otherwise but Shhhhh! You are not a smart person! Inflation is low! Everything is wonderful! Then the repo guy shows up for you automobile.....but you're not supposed to have that anyway you ungrateful hack! So shut up!

CUE: A plethora of Pfffts...guffaws....and Bwahahah's calling the above post uninformed, wrong, stupid and detached from reality.... That's not the way inflation gets calculated you dumb ass! ..... etc...etc...etc.....

Inflation is coming down, yes.

UE is low, yes.

NLPR demonstrates workers can retire and not have to work two jobs as they did under Trump.

Abortion will move to the fore by May as the #1 GOP problem to face. Groovy,

Do you understand that retirees live on a fixed amount of savings? Inflation means to them that the value of those savings is diminishing. Rapidly, at this point, thanks to Biden's disastrous policies.

A worker's wages will typically go up in times of inflation, though often not at a sufficient rate to keep up with rising prices.

A retiree's savings do not go up with inflation. They just lose value, decreasing the ability of a retiree to live on them.

Inflation is coming down, yes. As Debt is going up......

UE is low........ but Underemployment is skyrocketing....

Abortion will definitely be a huge issue.....no way around it.

Below have 8mm jobs to choose from. There is no underemployment.

Not the same as Unemployment.....

so you're saying that retirees are now working just one job? who are these people that retire and work two jobs?

While inflation rates are coming down .. the damage of the compounded months of 40-year high inflation rates is already done. The $5 widget that now costs $7.50 isn't going to recede.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Nope, and no cause for alarm. There are 8mm jobs available.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Nope, and no cause for alarm. There are 8mm jobs available.

Yes, but to make a living wage, one needs a job that is bigger than eight millimeters.

 

[justoffal]

Nope, and no cause for alarm. There are 8mm jobs available.

See that's the problem.....underemployment means needing to work a second job to make ends meet because of inflation, devaluation and cost rise....
More jobs available does not fix this. It means that inflation has also hit the man-hour unit. This has a direct effect on the quality of life. This is why you continue to spout low inflation and continue to get the finger from the populace.

but Underemployment is skyrocketing....

Yes and?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yes and?

and the percent of people working two jobs is lower than it was for much of the previous admin.

Why were so many people doing it back then?

Oh....I couldn't care less about previous....I hold them equally responsible. My point is that underemployment has the effect of hiding real inflation. The previous administration was also FOS.

or it could just be that there will always be people with multiple jobs...

There are certain groups known for that. African nationals do it habitually. Certain eastern European cultures also. Most established Americans won't unless they have to. When all the kids were living at home I worked 2 full time jobs for five years... I didn't take it personally it was just something that was necessary.
