Another Key Inflation Measure Hits Highest Mark Since 1982
Again, the highest level since the very, very bad year of 1982, when Paul Volker (IIRC -- might be way wrong) jacked up interest rates into the double digits (IIRC) to wring Jimmy Carter's inflation out of the economy.
It worked -- by 1984, the economy was soaring. But 1982 was miserable. And I don't think Brandon is working on some clever plan to get rid of the inflation in a year. So here we are again. Let's go Brandon.Annual inflation is running at the hottest pace in nearly four decades as widespread supply disruptions, extraordinarily high consumer demand and worker shortages fuel rapidly rising price increases. Prices soared by 5.7% in the year through November, according to the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index data released Thursday morning. That topped the previous month's rate of 5%, becoming the fastest pace increase since February 1982, when the gauge hit 6.17%. ... In the one-month period between October and November, prices jumped 0.6% (0.5% when excluding food and energy costs).More from the NYT. This is the Fed's "preferred" measure of inflation.
Federal Reserve policymakers are finishing a year that has been colored by surprisingly high inflation with yet another piece of bad news: The price measure they follow most closely last month touched its highest level since 1982. The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, which is the one the Fed officially targets when it aims for 2 percent annual inflation on average over time, climbed 5.7 percent in November from a year earlier. Part of the jump owed to gasoline prices -- they were up sharply in November but have moderated this month -- but a so-called "core" index that strips out food and fuel prices also increased sharply, to 4.7 percent. Rapidly rising prices are lasting longer than policymakers had hoped and have become broader in recent months, and the new data point reconfirms the pop that a more timely and related measure -- the Consumer Price Index -- had previously shown. Earlier this year, big price increases were largely reserved to goods that were in short supply as demand surged and as overtaxed shipping lines struggled to keep up. More recently, they have spread into categories like rent -- which can be more long-lasting. Fed officials are tasked with keeping inflation moderate and setting the stage for full employment, and they have grown increasingly worried about the surge in prices. This month they pivoted on policy, speeding up their plans to cut back on economic support and preparing to raise interest rates early next year if necessary. Higher interest rates can weaken down demand for everything from homes to cars, helping to slow down the economy and restrain inflation.And indeed, consumer spending is slowing down:
Consumer spending rose more slowly in November, raising risks of a broader economic slowdown amid the latest wave of Covid-19 cases. U.S. consumer spending rose 0.6% last month, after climbing 1.4% in October, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Holiday shoppers snatched up gifts earlier than usual this year in anticipation of product shortages, helping to boost spending in October while contributing to a November sales slowdown, economists say.Soaring inflation, stagnating economic activity -- stagflation, here we come. But inflation is a Good Thing, you guys. All this means is that Karen's Peloton is being delivered late or something. Let's Go Brandon song.

Biden's people finally decide to tackle inflation for real in late 2023, launching America into a deep depression that lasts through the next election.

Thought I was going to relocate for a job once. Refi'd the house with an ARM. First year rate was 1.2%. I didn't move and after the first year, the rate jumped to 18%.
Never made another payment to that company and refi'd quite quickly.

A bit. That's optimistic. Assume you have $300k worth of mortgage loan at 2.5% fixed for 30 years. Your payment is $1,185.
What do you get for that same payment if rates double 5%? The same payment will carry a loan of about $220k. Those 2.5 percentage points cost you $80k in house price. And this is important, because most people don't buy houses - they buy a payment.
But mortgage rates aren't set by the Fed, they usually reflect the 10-year US Treasury note. The T is considered the "zero risk" option, so mortgages tend to float above that by some amount. If mortgages are at 5%, the 10 year note is probably at around 4% or 4.5%. And US debt service costs just more than doubled. The fact that real estate prices will crash will be the secondary concern.

If you've been paying attention to commercials lately, there's all kinds of lawyer commercials about getting you out of your timeshare, as the predatory sales tactics and false pretenses they were sold under invalidate the sale contracts. We can come up with an issue that will interest young people, challenge the narrative, and put a dent in the Left's Education Industrial Complex.
Let's apply those precedents, as well as the Lemon Laws, to education. You have similar sales tactics already - traveling speakers visiting high schools and selling the idea that you absolutely need a degree - any degree - to succeed in today's economy. Buy now, buy today, and your rate will be locked in, today's special rate will never be lower in the future! It's really the same scam with slightly different flavor.
Imagine siccing the lawyers on Leftist Academia.

You can buy 1/2 a cow, even 1/2 of 1/2. Also could buy the whole thing. The problem is, once it is butchering time, you need to have the storage space. Yes, this ends up being cheaper.

This is just based on where I live, semi-rural WA state but you can buy half or a quarter of a cow. Then you can pay a butcher to cut it up. Final prices is...still over what you'll pay at Safeway.
But if things get worse, it's an option.

Another point: raising interest rates after decades of crazy-low rates is not politically possible. People will revolt. Ordinary people are just as addicted to low rates as business is, and the middle class would be most effected by a substantial increase in rates. They are the ones with house, car, student, credit card, and other debt but also the ones most likely to really feel a substantial increase in payments on these loans.
The more affluent will bitch at the increases, but it won't really move the needle for them. They will be able to easily absorb the increases. Ditto for increases in things like gas.
I think we will have to live with higher inflation for the time being. It will ultimately level itself out. Hopefully.

She is hit approximately thirty- five times over the course of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, while appearing to be begging for mercy the entire time. She is hit with the baton while facing away. She is hit with the baton while facing forward. She is speared and poked with the baton about the face so as to inflict maximum pain. She collapses more than once and is stood up by the officers only to be maced and beaten again. At some point, White-shirt puts away his baton, not because he is showing mercy because he has a clear avenue to her face. As such, he unloads on the defenseless woman punching her five times in five seconds, directly in the face, with all of his might.

It's still cray cray in my neighborhood too. I gave a party for a few neighbors on Saturday. One of them is a realtor - he had never been inside the place before. Sunday evening he stops over (with a bottle) and told me he has three vetted cash offers waiting if we are interested (we aren't - sort of) each of them approx 50K over an already outrageous mkt price.

We say that, but that's not quite what happens. You run interest rates up which slows new lending (because folks are hesitant to commit to higher rate loans), which in turn slows the expansion of the money supply which reduces the YoY inflation. But it doesn't undo the inflation that already happened.
Which is to say, we never saw quarter a gallon gas again.
About the only way you could reliably undo inflationary damage is to run taxes up (above government spending) without increasing spending for a while.

All they had to do to end this was copy the policy they did in 2009 for H1N1... stop testing. That's it. Plandemic over.
The fact they keep this chaos going means they want it to keep going. This is all about making America look weak and incompetent in the eyes of Americans and in the eyes of the world. The reason they keep the Plandemic going in general is because it's for The Great Reset. That's obvious to me based on the behavior of every Western nation in the G8 and Israel. They're all still full-speed ahead on the Plandemic and all the lies and protocols and banning treatments.

That is absolutely bat scat insane.
The grid obviously does not run like that at all. First, we need to have a definition of "renewable" resources. Because hydro sometimes is, and sometimes isn't considered hydro. Biomass (wood chips) are sometimes called renewable.
What this doesn't do is address resiliency. For every windmill, there must be 1.1 equivalent energy gas plants behind it for leveling and backfill. That doesn't work with thermals (other than oil and non-CCGT gas fired).
When the sun goes down and the wind is fickle, and you can't use non-renewables for leveling or backfill, then you will get rolling black-outs.

I single them out because they style themselves as hardcore conservative warriors, yet had no hesitation awarding the murderous Capitol Police medals for their "bravery" during the 1/6 "insurrection."
I don't expect any protests from nickelfucking grifters like Mittens or SnowCow. I do expect better from these two. If they're going to buy into the left narrative that 1/6 was an 'insurrection' and a 'threat to our democracy,' then I have no use for them.

I know no one wants to believe this, but at least here in Michigan, 90% of Covid ICU patients are unvaccinated. What Trump is saying is accurate, as far as the stats go.
Averages for hospitalization from Covid is 63 % unvaccinated to 37% vaccinated. Being vaccinated doesn't preclude you from getting infected nor from being hospitalized with severe symptoms, but it certainly appears to greatly lesson your chances of ICU admission and death.

Inflation is a 100% companion to prosperity, sooner or later. The strategy has been to constrict the money supply to combat it. But the tension toward inflation is there.
As the velocity of money increases it takes a while to increase quantity (production). The increase in prices is the friction.

Considering the beating oil got over the past few years because the entire economy was destroyed by the Democrats' lockdowns, there is little desire to get back into the game.

This is the first I have heard of this. Alex Berenson, who is the least of a bomb thrower on the topic, IIRC, even says this is horseshit.

As the velocity of money increases it takes a while to increase quantity (production). The increase in prices is the friction.

Except - and it's a huge exception - this assumes flat efficiency. The tendency toward efficiency is also positive, because increased efficiency increases profit in a competitive market, which is achieved by cutting prices. As efficiency increases, given stable money supply, you should expect the natural tendency in prices (although not money supply) to be *deflationary* rather than inflationary. The reason for the apparent tendency toward inflation is because of constant low-level stimulus provided by policy. There is still the potential for manias and localized inflation (like the railroad bond bubble in the late 19th century), but broad price measures would naturally decrease as efficiency increases and product diversity expands with the subsequent investment.

Or people who got n-1 shots where n is whatever this week's definition of "fully vaccinated" is.
Posted by: Oddbob at December 23, 2021 01:27 PM (nfrXX)
Let's see some solid evidence, aside from media propaganda. Is that asking too much?
For example, is that true at this very moment, today? Or are they reporting totals for the course of the year (or even of the pandemic overall) so they can count numbers when there was no "vaccine"?

Averages for hospitalization from Covid is 63 % unvaccinated to 37% vaccinated. Posted by: Jen the original at December 23, 2021 01:15 PM (YdyRl)
This data set seems somewhat implausible. Severe and very severe shouldn't misalign like that.
People who have a bad reaction to Covid should roughly look like a normal distribution, which you could divide into other categories.
Why would the treatment have no impact on people who have severe symptoms but a massive impact on very severe?

That is a fortnight AFTER the last injection.
Furthermore, we aren't told why people are in ICU. People still get heart attacks, get in wrecks, cancer, adverse reactions to other drugs (legal and illegal). Being in a CoViD bed may just be a nosocomial infection.

You could argue - weakly, but you could argue - that building dams is bad and that hydro power doesn't justify it. But existing hydro power is from dams that already exist, and thus the environmental damage such as it is has already been done. It doesn't get worse over time. In fact, you could make a *much* stronger argument that tearing down the existing dams would be enormously environmentally destructive as those areas have stabilized.

Strange but true! Vermont thinks hydro is a renewable so they buy Energy Tax Credits from Canadian hydro generation on the cheap because other New England states don't consider hydro to be renewable. Vermont then sells its common "renewable" credits to other states at going rates. Vermont, by merely defining hydro as renewables gets tax subsidies from the surrounding states by playing the arbitrage game.

Yes. An increase of Q may feedback into a decrease of P, but that would be if the quantity was increase above demand. And that's the market adjustment for supply above demand at price.
I'm just explaining why it's not alarming that inflation *began* under Trump's prosperous economy.
Meanwhile the Biden administration is alleging inflation → prosperity.

I cut Rand Paul slack because the Capitol Police are the ones who saved his bacon on two of the aforementioned occasions. I don't know if he ever styled himself a conservative warrior, that may be a characteristic assigned to him by observers.
I do know he's a Congressional thorn in Fraudci's side, one of the few to take him to task publicly and loudly.
As for the J6 detainee situation, it appears that only a handful of House members are trying to help them. And Julie Kelly.

I'm not sure Volker or any of the others knew at the time that that their attempt was a one-time deal, and I wonder when they figured out they'd failed.
Progs really don't think objective reality exists. Nothing is real to them. They dismiss math as a construct (it is) while also entirely dismissing the things it's being used to describe (which are not).
Marxism-Leninism in the west has devolved over the last century into a figleaf for neofeudalism. Meanwhile the Marx-Lenin-Mao-Deng-Xi ideology in China is trucking along fairly well as an instruction set to the sort of societal/governmental continuity that the Chinese have struggled with for a loonnnng time. At least so long as you mind your own business and you're not a scapegoat group that gets chopped for spare parts.
If we're going to rebuild later we need to focus on actual history, not civics text platitudes.

China is only doing so well as it is because it has a benefactor in the form of the US and Europe to sell to and invest in and steal from.
If it were just Communists (like they apparently want) it would be a constant battle (literally) for the limited amount of production.
The only reason communism in Russia lasted that long is because of the west and China is doing the same. Without capitalism, communism fails in a very short time. Reasons are myriad.

What do you get for that same payment if rates double 5%? The same payment will carry a loan of about $220k. Those 2.5 percentage points cost you $80k in house price. And this is important, because most people don't buy houses - they buy a payment.

Depends on how fast the rates are raised to 5%. If it's done slowly, with pauses, then the housing market can digest it and in most markets housing values would flatten out. Done overnight, then yeah, the housing market would crash.
