Ho, Hum, Inflation Sets Another Record, Hitting the Highest Level in 40 Years
US inflation soared 7.9% in past year, a fresh 40-year highOh look, they forgot to mention the fact that the dollar was devalued by multiple rounds of multitrillion dollar "stimulus."
By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER WASHINGTON (AP) Propelled by surging costs for gas, food and housing, consumer inflation jumped 7.9% over the past year, the sharpest spike since 1982 and likely only a harbinger of even higher prices to come. The increase reported Thursday by the Labor Department reflected the 12 months ending in February and didn't include the oil and gas price surges that followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. Since then, average gas prices nationally have jumped about 62 cents a gallon to $4.32, according to AAA. Even before the war further accelerated price increases, robust consumer spending, solid pay raises and persistent supply shortages had sent U.S. inflation to its highest level in four decades. What's more, housing costs, which make up about a third of the government's consumer price index, have risen sharply, a trend that's unlikely to reverse anytime soon.
"The numbers are eye-watering, and there is more to come," said Eric Winograd, senior economist at asset management firm AllianceBernstein. "The peak in inflation will be much higher than previously thought and will arrive later than previously expected." ... Seeking to stem the inflation surge, the Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates several times this year, beginning with a quarter-point hike next week. The Fed faces a delicate challenge, though: If it tightens credit too aggressively this year, it risks undercutting the economy and possibly triggering a recession.That's Our Brandon!
From January to February, nearly every category of goods and services got pricier. Grocery costs jumped 1.4%, the sharpest one-month increase since 1990, other than during a pandemic-induced price surge two years ago. The collective price of fruits and vegetables rose 2.3%, the largest monthly increase since 2010. Gas prices spiked 6.6%, clothing 0.7%. For the 12 months ending in February, grocery prices leapt 8.6%, the biggest year-over-year increase since 1981, the government said. Gas prices are up a whopping 38%. And housing costs have risen 4.7%, the largest yearly jump since 1991. Lydia Boussour, an economist at Oxford Economics, estimates that if oil remains at $120 a barrel for the rest of this year -- which it topped Tuesday before slipping -- it would cost U.S. households $1,500, on average. It would also weaken economic growth by about 0.8 percentage point this year, she said. Many economists have cut their growth estimates for 2022 by roughly a half-point to about 2.5%.I saw a forecaster predicting $150 per barrel.

And again, in four years - assuming nothing worse happens that causes more inflation, hahaha - the dollar in your pocket will be worth 50 cents.
You don't want to think too long about what the dollar in your pocket will be worth in ten years.

The BLS calculates CPI with food and energy, and a "core" CPI without it. The core is useful for longer time periods, since energy and food are both highly volatile and that makes it difficult if you're trying to include inflation in other models. But even if you don't directly include food and energy, long-term increases in food and energy prices will eventually drive up the core CPI so they eventually get included anyways.

Listen to the contractor with a huge helping of salt. They're not on your side, no matter how good they seem to be.
Your design team is still the one defending your interest, though they have no control or ultimately info on the pricing. If you reduce quality of components that can cost much more in the long run. I do know architects who specify stupid expensive things so yeah, sometimes the GC can point those out. But mostly you're going to have to reduce square footage somewhere.

^ THIS!!!!!
Brandon says his "plans" to reduce unemployment and increase wages and boost yada yada yada, are working! Just take a look at these multi-coloresd charts that prove it!
All Brandon and the Junta have done is spend tons of borrowed money on Progressive dream projects. Child Tax Credits, extended COVID unemployment benefits, buying millions of doses to give away to sh!thole countries around the world, and so on. The Junta has not done a damned thing to bring manufacturing back to the US, or to boost steel, oil, electricity, textile, or mining production in the US. Because he and The Junta have never had concrete plans for any of that.
Brandon will soon be touting the start of a bunch of infrastructure projects that he'll claim all the credit for, from the bill passed and signed last autumn. But he really didn't care about infrastructure other than building a half-zillion EV charging stations across the country. The only economic plan he has is destroying the petroleum sector.

We're not on "on the verge of ending fossil fuel use", it's simply being made more expensive. btw, this is going to cause revolutions. Remember the "Arab Spring" in 2008, the last time oil prices were this high? That wasn't just about political changes, it was helped brought about because food prices (which are linked to oil/energy prices) made food so expensive in places like Egypt, which had 80% increases in food prices almost overnight.

Yeah, it is. 3.5% this year is less of a real loss than 0.5% last year, since inflation is not running 6.5x faster this year than last year.
But there's a YUGE problem at my company, in a peer division (we do the same work, but for different product lines) that is much bigger than mine. They estimate attrition to double if the minimum raise for everyone who's better than a chair-warmer isn't in the neighborhood of 5.5%. The bean counters are panicking.

The main argument I see on social media from left-tards right now is that Keystone wasn't done when Biden cancelled it so it has no effect on gas prices.
Its part of a general trick the left has done with energy prices forever;
In good times: We shouldn't increase energy supply now because we don't need it.
In bad times: We shouldn't increase energy supply now because it won't fix the problem NOW.

Both Dolley and I work in industries that are pretty resilient to economic pressures (she works for a bank, I work for a software company that handles financial software for utilities), and our monthly income has risen far higher than our steadily decreasing fixed costs (mostly because we paid off the student loans and could probably just pay off the rest of our car in cash right now if we wanted). We're pretty well protected from what's going on, so this stuff is affecting us but at a fairly minimal level. I'm thankful for that.
So, this ends up being an academic exercise in my mind. At least for the near future. It could always grow far out of control if left unchecked.

Nah, Social Security is okay for now. They'll try to get everyone born before 1955 all the way through before they start cutting it significantly, and get all of the Boomers through before they cut it to the bone. The older Xers will get something. The younger Xers and those that came after will likely get very little. We'll get something, to be sure, but it won't be much and it won't matter.

Yeah, at at certain income levels (you exceed them, from what you wrote) this is true. But it is only true for so long. There is still a labor market and a big factor in the "Great Resignation" is dollar-chasing. The salary bands will have to increase or companies will be unable to acquire people. This will happen first in the lower middle incomes, but it will get to everything.

"Certainly sir", says the innkeeper, "but we require the first night up front". So Mein Herr peels off a hundred Euro note and gives it to the hotelman, and then he and his wife go walking off, looking for a lunch spot.
Immediately, the hotel keeper runs over to his meat supplier at the mans farm on the edge of the village and uses the 100 Euros to pay off his longstanding debt.
The farmer gleefully accepts the 100 Euros and immediately walks over to pay off his local hooker, to whom he owed money.
Worried she might spend the money on some frivolity, the hooker runs over toward the hotel, passing the German couple as she ran, and paid off the hotel keeper for past room use. She left satisfied her business was now back in a healthy state.
Just then the vacationers, having changed their mind, walk in and ask for their money back, telling the inn keeper they've decided to push on.
The Germans leave the Greek town behind, now completely solvent.

Same with TARP, BigBank got the money, homeowners were left underwater. No banker went to jail for all their frauds.

Yep, and many companies just do not have the pricing power to absorb the cost.

It is impossible that there is oil that is not being pumped but is permitted and available, when the price is 130 per barrel. If it was 30 per barrel okay, that is about break even wait for the price to rise. But at 130 per barrel there is now way they are sitting on it. Naw.
Sure, demand is up from last year lock down, but to be fair - its not all the way back to what it was in 2019 2020. National Aver all grades all places in 2019 was 2.30's to 2.90's depending on season.

That had something to do with it, and then Democrats refused to let go of that power until midterm polls started coming in.

Solar and wind have no relationship to the cost of gasoline, and oil is not used much for power generation in the US.
The only relationship would be replacement of all vehicles with Teslas. Which would collapse the electrical grid.
So again you are rhetorically conflating two things that are not related and trying to imply causality. The reason your propaganda doesn't work here is because you are really bad at it.

Don't bother. He was incapable of understanding the Admin's obvious mendacity when they cited the numbers from Trumps first month and compared it to bidens first month. Trump was operating under the Obama limits still, and the shiteater was operating under Trumps because the supply didn't drop off right away. Its an obvious trick. Durt has twisted it around in his mind thinking it is an apples to apples comparison. They have over 4600 permits pending. The stopped the productive stuff. The prospecting permits aren't producers.

It's not just Ds -- if you haven't noticed if they can't take taxpayer money and give it to private individuals/schools/corporations, they don't do it at all.
Obamacare not only requires people to buy insurance from private companies, but the Medicaid expansion part of it is a private insurer takeover of Medicaid (no single payer system anymore, the state pays a monthly fee to 3 or 4 private insurers for everyone "enrolled" in each insurer's Medicaid program).
Federal government student loan programs is 100% a way to get taxpayer money into the hands of universities. Hence every half-wit out there has a college degree and thinks they're smart (which is why there are so many worthless programs at universities now like gender studies)
All of these private actors then turn around a give a good portion of those funds to the pols. It is taxpayer money laundering

Several years ago I learned that once a family has been identified as "needy," various services are pushed toward them. We had one of those programs "backpack" programs foisted on our district. It sent "needy" kids home on Fridays with a backpack of food.
I wasn't too fond of it after custodians started pulling cans of food out of the trash (surprise: the kids didn't want to bring home the healthier stuff, just sweetened cereal and fruit snacks).
One of my students approached me before the usual release time and said, "Miss ____, I don't want it. My parents take care of us. It was only one year that Dad couldn't work." I wondered how many families who didn't need it simply took it because it was "free."

Texas spent 66 billion on windmills and solar farms over the past decade, which gave them a blackout a year ago. 22 billion of that was federal subsidy. The people who build them are doing it solely for the subsidy - there is no windmill that can break even without a subsidy.
So, the consumer pays for the electricity, and they pay a portion of it again when they pay their taxes.

Just use the octane you car says to use. There is no point it giving it higher octane.

Look that was a early prototype failure. For some fcuking reason it decided putting the dogcage on top of the car for a 2000 mile road trip was no big deal, even tho it had the dog inside the cage. I hated that build. Creepy hair, dead eyes. That was before we got the eyes right.

Legislation that Biden will veto?
Actually, very likely. The failure theater will be strong.
Actual budgetary order, which could do sweeping damage to the administrative state? Less so.

No you will have to wait for the next one to prove they cheated by nearly 19 million people in the next couple elections. They just telegraphed their margin of cheating to everyone listening. Now they have to figure out where to inject those 19million ghost votes to tip the scales.

On modern cars the ECU can sense the fuel type and adjust the settings so it'll appear to run OK on the lower-grade gas but things are more optimal the higher-grade the gas is.
If you're running a '69 GTO (and it better be orange), none of that matters.

Was it last month the energy secretary lady granholm (idiot) was laughing it up on Fox business or something about gas prices. Its part of their plan. They are laughing because their plan is working and it delights them.

You're right of course but I've always thought it kept my engine cleaner. Even if true using a gasoline additive every couple of fill ups would do the same thing. I will switch to regular next full up.

Its hard to tell in the real world, but the maths work out that the higher octane will give you more mpg. It also delivers more horsepower, which as a practical matter tends to induce more foot stomping not less. Human nature.
