Unexpectedly, Inflation Soars
You mean dropping in trillions upon trillions of phantom dollars into the economy while paying people to not produce services and goods will cause prices to rise?
Inflation is soaring in the United States and at a higher rate than analysts predicted. In April 2021, the consumer price index saw a 4.3 percent jump, the fastest increase since 2008. "Inflation accelerated at its fastest pace in more than 12 years for April as the U.S. economic recovery kicked into gear and energy prices jumped higher, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. The Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods as well as energy and housing costs, rose 4.2% from a year ago, compared to the Dow Jones estimate for a 3.6% increase. The monthly gain was 0.8%, against the expected 0.2%," CNBC reports. "Excluding volatile food and energy prices, the core CPI increased 3% from the same period in 2020 and 0.9% on a monthly basis. The respective estimates were 2.3% and 0.3%."I saw a joke headline somewhere that read, "Biden to Spend Two Trillion Dollars to Discover What Causes Inflation." It's funny. It's funny and it's true. Look at this gorgeously Weimarian, Venezualianish spike in prices:

Also, as people start to think all the money printing will make their dollars worthless, they want to buy real stuff instead of saving dollars.
Lots of factors at work, including the globalist dream of a global (digital/crypto?) currency that they control covertly, saving the world from sovereign rights.
No need for banks even then, to lend to people that are a good credit risk (good business plan, solid collateral) ... nope ... the Woke have social credit, the MAGA people have their wealth stolen (for their past racism and current thought crimes)...

Inflation is baked in the cake. Stagflation 2.0, monetary bugger-you (and Misery and Malaise ) are locked in. As Milton Friedman famously said, inflation is every and always a monetary phenomenon, and it is too much money chasing too few goods.
The Fed has been printing like a crazy person since the '08 Crisis. All that money is now getting out of just propping up the stock markets and the bad debt (mortages) and out into the consumer goods economy.

I'm sure it's all quite simple, and makes perfect sense to somebody, but I do not get the refinance game. Suddenly the offers to refinance are coming fast and furious, how NOW is the time to refinance.
I always figured anyone telling me they want to save me money is not really trying to help me. So I just trash these offers by the dozen.
You're saying I can lower MY payment? Why does it feel like you're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?

They make money off of the fees for the refi and dump the mortgage guarantee to Fannie or Freddie (or other guarantor).
Due to the time value of money, money in fees now is better than more money from fixed interest in the future so even your current mortgage holder might be willing to refi.

This time, however, the Fed is not going to stop inflation, as Paul Volcker did. To do that, you have to tighten money, raising interest rates to astronomical levels, which causes a recession. The recession around '80 was pretty bad, and that was the effect of Volcker tightening. He held the course and killed inflation.
At times the fed funds rate ticked over 20%. The Fed simply cannot do that now, because it will destroy the federal govt, now at about $29T total debt. Hell, 5% much less 20% short term rates would destroy Uncle.
And the Fed would also destroy itself. If it started tightening, it would start a cascade destroying the value of it's own balance sheet, the assets that it creates money against. It would be royally fucked.
So, they're just going to keep the printers going and let inflation explode.
They will try to hide it, changing the CPI calculations and all that to make it go away. And soon, I expect our tech oligarchs will be censoring any mention of inflation.

What "government"? What you are seeing is anarchy and the demonstration of raw power.
Governments have documentation establishing offices, procedures, rituals, etc. Haven't you noticed that the Constitution has been abandoned through fraud, and that the legislative and judicial branches are merely artifacts (and kept because of graft/corruption opportunities) because everything is now performed through EOs and gratuitous regulatory extension?

Sure the "conservatives" are poofs in many ways. Sure they gave up on universal healthcare and "climate change" But While Trump pushed back against the radical Left, The Tories have enjoyed victory after victory. They basically did the Trump strategy, they have made massive inroads into "working class" areas of the UK, places that don't hate themselves and their country. Yeah I am bitter. I see the Tories winning over and over, as they have, but we still have all against us, including false friends.

There is no Olympic women's decathlon. Before 1981, the closest thing the women had was the pentathlon, a 5-event competition. After that, and up until the last Olympics, women had the heptathlon, a 7-event competition. There is currently a campaign underway to get a women's decathlon put into the 2024 Olympics, but so far there isn't one.
If you compare Jenner's best times/scores in the decath events to the records held by the women in the individual sports, he only comes out at the number one spot in one --the 400 meters.
But since there has been no such thing as a women's Olympic decathlon winner until Bruce, he's still the best (and only) one!

No need to win elections on sound fiscal policy ... just promise free everything for everyone ... and print it.
However it explodes/implodes or just muddles along, much more power is in the hands of DC Big Spenders, which is a move toward "communism" (the real kind, not the Utopian dreams, because we already see what goons are doing to patriots and our sovereign rights).

It stands at $5.8T now. It stood at just $860B or so at the start of the '08 Crisis.
You'll see a series a jumps after that. That was each round of QE. Note they were slowly, slowly, tapering off until the 'Rona hit.

Always always always. They don't care how badly the country gets fucked as long as they aren't the ones holding the bag. That's why Hillary had all her mail going to a Fisher Price Exchange server colocated in a shitter and run by drooling simians. She couldn't give a wet fart in a hurricane if all of the State stuff was passed around enemy intelligence agencies like David Hogg in prison, she just wanted to keep it out of subpoena reach of the filthy voter class.

I am not giving any stock or investment picks. But people have been into Bitcoin for many years now. I need to study it more, but if the general idea is to get away from US gov manipulation, I don't see the problem. All currency is based on on a belief in something. If not, we get down to barter. I still look at gold but also food and the means to make food. People will always need food and the means to make it.

Are we going to get hyperinflation? I don't think so. That's a total detonation of the currency, where you forget about inflation rates and speak of monetary half-life, or the time for the price level to double. Post war Hungary holds the record, with a doubling time of 15.7 hours. Prices doubled in less than day.
Weimar, the most famous hyperinflation of them all, is only number 4 or so on that list, with a doubling time of 3 days or so.
The reason we've gotten away with our fiscal and monetary insanity is because the dollar is the world's reserve currency. We were king after WWII, and our guys set it up that way. Told them this is how its going to be.
Second, all the other Western govts and the other big players, have been doing running their printers just as fast as we have. The ECB, BoE, BoJ, all of them. They've been printing euro, pounds, and yen like crazy as well.
So I don't think a dollar hyperinflationary implosion will occur, but a global inflationary depression is a possibility.

I honestly don't understand how it's supposed to work as it gets less and less profitable to mine. You have to do more and more work and you get less money out. But the blockchain doesn't exist without someone coming up with a solution that records the latest transactions. Already, only nation-states like China are mining bitcoins because everyone else is making bupkis on hundreds of thousands in equipment and just as much in electricity. How does that continue when even China isn't making any money off of mining?

The money power always resides with the sovereign. The federal govt has the power to declare what is "money". Legal tender. And so do all the other govts. And that is the difference between the dollar, backed by nothing, the euro backed by nothing, etc, and cryptocurrencies.

What I didn't know was Trader Joe's was a part of that group. I think they were once part of Aldi, they divided the nation between South and North. They are fine, we all go our own ways in the end. Lately I am spending more time at Dollar Tree and Dollar General than I had ever guessed i would. The one thing i have learned is most of these places offer great discounts on some things, and then screw you on the others. It pays to check them out, not become a fan boy.

That part was/is entirely optional. And was resisted, mostly, for a long time - and even when the dam broke (1960s), the idea of getting back towards balance was a potent perennial political issue (don't bite you tongue saying that one). Many here will remember. Up to the late 90s, even a bit beyond, it was generally accepted that living beyond our means via $ printing press was imprudent, at best.

Not saying that govt fiat currency is better, simply that the state has enforcement tools to make using crypto currency illegal and seize anyone holding it.
Just today, a story came out about the Feebs seizing all the safety deposit boxes in a secure vault storage company's facility. The Feebs are demanding that people open the boxes and declare how they got the stuff in it legally before maybe they might consider releasing it. Jeff Sessions was a big fan of asset forfeiture as AG. Cyprus was forced to give a haircut to all holders of deposits in its banks before getting bailed out by the EU.

Posted by: Jane D'Oh #Impeach Foady Six! at May 12, 2021 05:51 PM (ptqGC)
Colonial has not paid the ransom. They are working to rebuild their IT system using backup files. I think this means reports were correct that one or more of Colonial's business-side (non-pipeline control) IT systems was hacked, and Colonial shut-down the completely separate pipeline control IT system to increase protection from it being hacked, too. Since they are re-starting, Colonial must be confident their existing pipeline IT system is as secure as it can be, or they made changes to bring it up to ? level of being considered hack-proof.

I've been wrong almost always, but I don't see *this* as the time for Tehran to push the big red button labeled "Burn All Assets/Activate Hamas & Hezbollah for Full-Scale Assault on Israel". That button is definitely there, Hezbollah is, by far, the much bigger part of the equation (a lot more, and a lot better, rocket threat).

never go with former generals when it comes to politics. There are lots of generals with different views. How many great Marines became Dem Senators? What did the libs and even many conservatives say about Alexander Haig? No one supports the military more than I do. But i don't go to former Generals for political advice. When you think about it, it might be one of the worst ideas ever. Their entire calling is to not be political.

The "global" answer to this is to go off the US Dollar as the World's reserve currency. As part of the Great Reset, a global digital currency will be created as the world's reserve currency.
You may be given a choice of exchanging your "dollars" for the digital currency, which we will call a
"Xiden", just for laughs.
And when the dollar ceases to be the worlds reserve currency, this country is going to see really rampant inflation, and all those "dollars" that we might have saved (like in your 401k or IRA) will lose a lot of their value.

They have made major changes in the CPI calculations twice. Once in 1980 and another around '90.
Inflation would be over 10% now per the pre-'80 method, and around 6% using the pre-90 method.
See shadow govt. stats if interested. The major driver for the '90ish change was reducing COLAs for social security. It was easier to lie about inflation than cut those COLAs.

And Uncle Joe and his Gang are working to get even more people dependent on Fed dollars - universal pre-K, guaranteed child care, and more. So when the crunch comes from the interest rate increase on the debt, and every discretionary dollar is cut from the Fed Budget, but that still does not square the budget circle, the Feds can and will have to pretty much decide who eats and who doesn't, who gets medical care and who doesn't, and so on. Republicans? They go hungry and get no more MediCare treatment and care.

I did a quick run through and agree in general with what they have to say. i have a feeling these lists will become all too commonplace. These men have every right to state their opinions. But I personally don't like the general idea of saying "as a blank" my opinion means more. I have to be honest here, i just bashed the fake Repubs for doing that. Again they have a right to their opinions, and I agree with most of them. My concern now is we have lost so much of the country that it wont matter all that much. it is time for real change, the military, corporations, the media, the schools, the internet. I am hoping but not hopeful.
i see the Brits are doing better than we are. Trump predicted their victories but couldn't secure follow ups for himself. This country has truly gone pear shaped in many ways.

It's taking them a lot to catch up and rebuild. You just can't turn off and turn on supply chains like you can an electric light.
A lot of the inflation is being caused by bottlenecks in the supply chain. For example, in the lumber industry timber is still cheap to buy-but there aren't enough sawmills to turn it into lumber. It's awfully hard to build a new sawmill overnight. Even if you could, how do you know demand will stay robust? What if it crashes just as you get up and running? You will lose a lot of money.
Same goes for an oil refinery, a paper plant, a meatpacking plant and on and on.
