Washington Post: Americans "Resigned" to Inflation, "Feeling Better" About Dealing With It

The Washington Post published a news article by economy reporter Abha Bhattarai that said Americans are getting used to inflation and "learning to deal with" it. This runs contrary to various indicators, including a Gallup poll which found that 56% of Americans said inflation is causing hardship.
"After months of gloom, Americans are finally starting to feel better about the economy and more resigned to inflation," Bhattarai wrote.
"Americans are making small changes -- buying meat in bulk, for example, or shifting more of their shopping to discount chains -- suggesting that many families are learning to deal with higher prices," she continued.

Following similar talking points as the White House, Bhattarai emphasized gas coming down from a record high of $5, saying the "25 percent drop in costs has been substantial for many Americans."
"Overall inflation, meanwhile, has eased slightly -- prices remained flat in July, though they're still up 8.5 percent from a year ago -- as a result of aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve," she wrote.
The article detailed the account of Nils Haaland, a man in Omaha who said "soaring prices for fuel and food this summer forced him and his wife to stop dining out, postpone summer travel and buy less meat."
"Although prices are still relatively high, he says he feels less worried that inflation will continue to spiral out of control," The Post reported.

The "Maddowblog" says that gas prices are "improving" so much that the GOP is forced to shift its election focus.

Meanwhile, Janet Yellen admits that gas prices could surge this winter.

But don't worry, she has a plan to stop oil prices from surging -- a price cap.

And price caps always* stop demand-provoked price increases!

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted there is a "risk" that US gas prices will surge again this winter after months of steady declines.
Yellen cited potentially fraught conditions in Europe as members of the European Union wean off Russian oil shipments and mull the imposition of a price cap in response to the brutal invasion of Ukraine.
"It's a risk and it's a risk that we're working on the price cap to try to address," Yellen said during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "This winter, the European Union will cease, for the most part, buying Russian oil and in addition, they will ban the provision of services that enable Russia to ship oil by tanker. It is possible that could cause a spike in oil prices."
"Our price cap proposal is designed to both lower Russian revenues that they use to support their economy and fight this illegal war while also maintaining Russian oil supplies to hold down global oil prices," Yellen added.

No, you see, they've "gotten used to it", which means that they celebrate the decrease in price from 2.15 two years ago to 3.89 now. In fact, they think they are even better off because they've "gotten used to it".

They've "gotten used to it" to such a degree that they will destroy anyone who represents a party that did successfully have lower prices. In fact, they will decide that protecting the rights of teachers to cut off the dicks of children is more important than anything else.

There is no way to make that work. We *might* be have been able to pull off such a scheme - albeit in a very short-term way - under Trump. When we're back in energy deficit, this is an impossible plan. You can only depress prices through deliberate overproduction, and we can't do that anymore.

64 They raised the chocolate rations! Hurray! Sorry, but Bhattarai is correct: Americans are indeed learning to live with Biden's shitbag economy.

The glory days of Trump's economy is 18 months ago -- an eternity in today's world. Those days are rapidly fading into history. Gas prices are still much higher than under Trump, but they are considerably lower than at their peak under Biden. That's all people care about. $2 gas is prehistoric at this point.

I warned and warned and warned against putting all our eggs into one basket and relying nearly 100% on the state of the economy for November. I warned that people would get used to it and things would improve from the worst. I hope I'm wrong but I'm feeling vindicated at this point.

And bad for production. The cure for high prices is more production.

97 What to expect for home heating costs as fall approaches
https://t.co/Cx0wCuizgP

Fall is right around the corner, which means we're soon going to start relying on our heat a lot more. Eyewitness News checked what to expect with oil prices. According to DEEP, currently the average price of heating oil is just under $5.00 a gallon. An expert said it's probably going to stick to that range.
It may be lower compared to a few months ago, but at this time last year the price is nearly 50-percent cheaper.

Senator Markey Joins Senator Hassan in Calling for President Biden to Lower Energy Costs by Releasing Oil from Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve

Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) joined New England colleagues led by Senator Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) in a bipartisan call for the Biden Administration to take action to lower energy costs for New Englanders as the winter season approaches and Americans continue to face high energy costs.

In the letter, the Senators write, "As winter approaches, we are calling for federal action to help bring down heating costs for households in our region, including releasing stockpiles from the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve."

It's a lame attempt to set up a buyers cartel of Russian oil, where we will only allow them to sell it to us at say $60 a barrel or insert arbitrary price here. Anybody with a hint of sense can see the problem here, trying to do that nonsense with a globally-traded commodity. Best-case scenario here is that the Russians continue to do what they're doing, selling that oil to say India and having the Indians, or whomever, sell the oil themselves or its derivates to Europe and the West. Worst-case scenario is that the Russians just simply don't sell any oil or derivative to any country enforcing this stupid price cap idea, which would be only Europe and Western nations.

My state college tuition in the early 2000's went from like $2k a year to around $25k. If it just followed CPI, tuition should be like under $5k today.

It is also a startling admission of failure. The entire response over Ukraine was predicated on Europe having monopsony power for Russian energy. Biden laid this out very clearly in his January presser, when he talked about how Russia is at least as dependent on European energy purchasing as Europe is on the Russian energy they purchase. As he put it, Russia won't "bite off its nose to spite its face."

Last year, China thought they had monopsony power when they muscled Australia and cut off Australian coal to hurt Australia for asking questions about COVID. They learned otherwise - that there are other markets. Europe has now learned the same. Building a buyer's cartel to try to approximate monopsony power will fail, because the new customers for Russian energy aren't going to join the cartel.

Home heating and electricity prices are expected to skyrocket in homes across the U.S. northeast this winter, according to National Grid.

During a conference call with reporters Tuesday, a National Grid spokesman stated that the average home heating bill this winter is estimated to increase by 39 percent for a cost of $943, up $263 from last year, the Times Union reported.

Electricity prices are also expected to increase by 22 percent, costing approximately $116 more than last winter.

56% of Americans report discovering that they are part of the population whom Democrats intend to impoverish. Experts point out that this is incorrect. These people are part of the population that Democrats intend to kill off.

176 I think we increased the money supply about 30% during COVID and with Uncle Joe.

So at 8.5% inflation it will take about 4 years to equalized dollars to goods or vice versa!

178 What the left fails to realize is that the price of Gas came down for 1 reason only, demand dropped. No Government policy reduced the price of gas. No government policy increased the supply of gas. Inflation tightened belts to the point that unnecessary travel dropped. Food and shelter cost significantly more and haven't gone down.
Plenty of people cancelled their vacations over the summer due to the cost of gas. When winter comes the price of gas will be based on demand still and no government policy is in play that has caused the price of gas to decrease or the supply to increase.
Troubled waters are ahead.

We've already discussed this a couple of weeks ago. Of course they are. People are driving less than they were during the mandatory lockdowns of the pandemic, only this time it's because they can't afford to go anywhere or buy anything.

It's simple supply and demand. There's some gas out there waiting to be bought. When it's bought, it will be expensive again.

Yay Biden.

284 Americans counter consumer product 'shrinkflation' with new spending habits, survey says
https://t.co/vV06RftBQ7

As inflation continues to rise, more consumers have begun to notice that the product size of their purchases is shrinking. This phenomenon, dubbed "shrinkflation" is worrying Americans and even driving them to change their purchasing habits.

A new survey from Morning Consult showed that 54% of Americans have seen, read or heard something about shrinkflation, and 64% are worried about it. In fact, only 25% said they haven’t noticed shrinkflation in any grocery categories.

Snacks are the biggest example of shrinkflation as 55% of Americans noticed these foods are decreasing in size or quantities as prices remain the same or even increase. Other items Americans have grown concerned about include pantry items, frozen foods, meat and bread and other pastries.

Americans are leaning into credit card rewards to help offset the rising costs of everyday purchases amid inflation concerns, according to a Wells Fargo study.

The study surveyed over 2,000 adults in the U.S. and said that 92% of Americans are worried about rising inflation and nearly half of rewards cardholders have used these earned benefits to help offset the price of some everyday expenses.

Credit card debt jumped by $46 billion, or 13%, by the end of the second quarter of 2022, the biggest percentage increase in more than 20 years, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In addition to credit card balances, Americans also opened 233 million new credit card accounts during the second quarter, the most since 2008

420 388 Masters, Vance, Laxalt, all very smart and good candidates. Polling is very close and enthusiasm on the Republican side. RCP saying 2 pickups so 52/48 Senate. Stop believing all the negative hype coming from the Democrat side. The pollsters they are quoting have terrible records. Try reading Rich Baris.
We, meaning you and I and the people tuned in every day, are missing what is going on outside of the political bubble.

==========

Outside of weird situations like Todd Akin, the conversations around "quality candidates" always morphs from pre-election to post-election.

Pre-election, we're wondering why an R in this red state is barely winning in the polls. When it turns out those polls were all wrong (surprise! again!), the post-election conversation ends up talking about people who were polling 10 behind consistently before losing by 2. "If they had just been better, this R primary that everyone ignored at the time could have led to a better candidate."

503 Before we get off the semi food thread, in the early 70's I was in a Marine I&I outfit, and one of our reserves, a Major, was a part time intel officer with a day job at Fort Belvoir in some kind of think tank. Drill weekends, he would set up displays of all things commie, making you wonder where in the hell did they get this stuff. One weekend, he had a display of Soviet field rations, including jars of potted meat to be shared with comrade soldier.

I find it hilarious that troops in Brit ceremonies carry the currrent issue weapon, the SA-80 bullpup, with a stubby bayonet fixed. It looks ridiculous. Enfields or L1A1s (FN/FAL) would look infinitely better and more deadly, but the Ministry of Defence must be so strapped for money they can't afford to keep a couple hundred de-activated ones polished for carrying in ceremonies.

US troops in ceremonies carry M-14s or M-1s. Not M-16s.

I remember those days and you are so right - my daughter and especially my son could hoover down a bag or box of anything one hour after I got home from the grocery store. I learned to hide things that didn't need to be refrigerated. I read an article recently that people are using AfterPay to purchase groceries on time. Good Lord.

591 Since Bezos bought the Washington Post, it has morphed from a Democrat-leaning newspaper to a completely pro-Democrat propaganda outlet. Whereas in the past they would usually include a quote or two from a Republican or conservative organization, they no longer even bother to seek out quotes from Republicans in most of their articles.

There is no daylight whatsoever between the Washington Post and the Biden administration. It's really quite an astonishing thing to witness -- the utter and unapologetic abandonment of any gesture toward objective journalism.

599 I don't know anybody who is happy with this shit. Maybe in the bubble of DC beltway leftists they're ok, because they don't create a frigging thing. They just sign a check for anything they want and if it costs more so be it. Anybody else who actually works for a living is pissed off. Anybody who creates things are pretty pissed off. You could trim a doorway for $30 in normal times, now its $90 if you use anything decent. In my dining room all I did was retrim 3 windows in the crown top style, make the new sills, and do crown molding on the ceiling. It was $700 for materials. Thats fucking insane, and I hear people bitching every time I'm in home depot. People are not happy.

Yes. Exactly.
I rarely eat out anymore. I wait a couple of extra weeks to get a haircut. I haven't done any of hte planned renovations on my condo, which would have involved hiring an electrician and painters. i plan my meals more carefully and take a list to the grocery store and try to buy sale items.

613 "resigned" is that what they are calling it? Credit card debt is surging to record levels due to people not being able to afford basic necessities like food and gas due to inflation and they claim people are "feeling better about it"?

The last stage is hallucinations - where you convince yourself the world view you worship like a god - so much for all your shots at traditional religious folks for being so unscientific - will happen or is happening even when the exact opposite is happening.

In our neighborhood the next wave of grocery store price hikes is starting. As much as they have been going up, I noticed the latest round, and kind of said here we go again. Gas has stabilized just under $4 a gallon here.

Utility payments are behind, phone bills are behind, car repos are up, credit card balances are up. It is a bit uneven, some have lots of cash squirreled away after all the fed giveaways, some are right on the edge. Yellen is just playing the part. She is not dumb enough to believe anything she said. At least I hope she isn't.

621 Do you know what comes after funflation, not more inflation, but scarcity. It will not matter how much it costs, it simply will no longer be available. Not high food prices, famine. I am already seeing bare shelves in the supermarket. #BareShelvesBiden is accelerating, as expected.

Oh, and do not think it will be possible to just ship it from overseas at greater cost (assuming you can anymore, see transportation bottleneck). The people who are causing scarcity here are now also over there, and those other countries may simply decide that they will keep their food rather than sell it to us for worthless pieces of paper.

623 Biden has been draining the Strategic Oil Reserve to keep prices down until the election.

After the election, of course, they will start buying to re-fill it. This, aside from other factors, guarantees prices will go back above $4 per gallon by Christmas.
