Despite Nursing Home Joe's Glowing Predictions of Fuffiffthithafffm, Inflation Is About To Get Worse

Joe Biden lied.

For months now, inflation has been steadily trending down to a 3% level after hitting 9% last summer.
But that positive story is about to get a jolt this week as the consumer price index is expected to show monthly inflation rose by 0.6% in August, up from 0.2% from a month earlier. That will likely bring the annual rate to 3.6%. The culprit? Rising energy prices.

Energy prices are rising, huh?

I wonder how that happened.

Did someone pay Bidens to weaken the United States?
After canceling the Keystone XL pipeline project, draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to dangerously low levels (some of which was sold to a Hunter Biden-linked Chinese energy giant), and vowing "no more oil drilling" on US soil while America's geopolitical adversaries -- two of whom paid his family handsomely -- beef up their own energy independence, the Biden administration has done it again.
Last week the regime confirmed that it will cancel seven controversial oil and gas leases in an area of Alaska known as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), which were legally awarded from a 2021 sale.
...
Biden, in a written statement, said that the move will "help preserve our Arctic lands and wildlife, while honoring the culture, history, and enduring wisdom of Alaska Natives who have lived on these lands since time immemorial."
...
In response, Fox Business host and former Trump administration official Larry Kudlow blasted Biden, saying that this latest energy policy aides Russia, Iran and Venezuela, and is "sheer insanity."
"Biden is ... playing into the hands of some of the worst actors in the world. I've never seen anything... and damaging, obviously, consumers and businesses here at home," said Kudlow, adding "This is insanity. Sheer insanity."
"Who is Biden working for?" asked one X user in response to Kudlow's segment.

Is there really a ven diagram of people who would approve, but don't for only those reasons? I'm sure Biden is a massive drag on her, but she's also just not great, and that's a huge problem.

What I find most amazing about the whole ANWR deal is that Jonah Goldberg, whose wife is from AK, was the biggest advocate of drilling in ANWR while he was at NR. Trump goes ahead and does it, and Jonah's around the bend over the guy.

The second most amazing thing is that Murkowski, whose state benefits from developing ANWR, is just letting Biden get away with this.

Neither did I! But I hear tell, because the amount I'm contributing to this transaction, in the low 5 figures, is not as high as others are paying.

Even if it's true that it's 3% NOW, they conveniently ignore that inflation is cumulative. If inflation runs at 9% for a while, then cools down to 3%, that doesn't mean inflation went down. It's just going up at a slower rate. We're still paying FAR MORE than we were before it was going up at 9%.

37% of the BLS jobs numbers are a estimate of the birth/death model. That is defined as new small businesses opening which outnumber other small businesses 'dying'. Anyone who thinks any small businesses have been starting up in this year is incredibly stupid.

37% of the BLS jobs numbers are essentially falsified.

115 Fun fact ... fuel and grocery prices have long been excluded from the official inflation figures. But you can't hide their impact on everything else, and everything interconnects.

We all know inflation has been out of control for several years now. If you buy 20 gallons of gas a week, and that price went up a buck a gallon, that's real money. And chances are, some of you buy way more than that. 20 gallons at 20 MPG is 400 miles a week or about 20K miles a year.

Groceries ? Forget about it. Some things have doubled. Almost everything is up 25%. That's really real money. For many families, groceries are around 25% of your take home pay now.

Kamala Harris poised to 'take over from Biden' as Democrats

panic over devastating polls
Joe Biden tells press conference in Vietnam he's 'going to bed'
As Democrats become increasingly frustrated with President Joe Biden’s falling poll numbers, political experts have told Daily Express US that Vice President Kamala Harris is being thrown into the spotlight.
Meanwhile, VP Harris - along with her husband, Doug Emhoff - arrived in New York on Monday to make an appearance at the city’s 22nd anniversary commemoration at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.Some believe that Harris’ presence at the event - and Biden’s absence - means Democrats are pushing the female VP into the spotlight to cover up for the president's recent lack of success.

119 Numbers don't matter to innumerates. Biden's voters encounter the world on purely magical terms. If prices rise, it's because of corporate greed or ill humours what cause the blood to become sluggish. Or the like. They used to say even a coackroach turns away from pain. But if the source of pain is unknown and largely unknowable, as it is for Democrats and other kinds of idiots, then no change of direction is possible. TL;DR version: it doesn't matter what numbers get reported or what the actual numbers are for a lot of people.

120 It's funny (not "Ha ha" funny)-

The illegitimate regime did pretty much everything wrong for the economy.

Shut down production (energy being only the most obvious)
Print money
Spend like drunken sailors

That all translates into both massive inflation and malaise.

This is because I'm fairly certain the left thinks the economy if magic. In 2008, they thought the economy would get better naturally and they could do whatever they wanted and get credit for it improving.

That didn't happen, but reality proving the left wrong has never made them doubt themselves before, so when the same people got in charge again, they did the same thing.

It's also (part) of why they push electric cars. There are the smart ones who KNOW it won't work. Most of them are pretty stupid and think if they just push harder on those EVIL corporations, they'll magically make it work.

They are children. They have no basis in reality, are never held to account, and are dangerous with any sort of power.

Of course they also tell me that InBev or Nike or Amazon are all "good" corporations and not at all greedy.

Her opinion is that inflation is around 25 per cent, annually. And has not really slowed down since it really got started in 2021. There were a LOT of supply chain disruptions in 2020, but the grocery store price inflation really kicked in, in 2021.

That's the thing, isn't it ? There are no good guys in this. Corporations ARE greedy. Today's corporations are greedy for power as well as profit, and more the former than the latter.

The biggest corporation of all ? The Federal Government. The only corporation, for now at least, that can literally compel you to buy a product you may not want.

So how to explain the current stance of both parties ? You got me. Seems to me, the first party that betrays their protection of corporations wins. But I don't see either side doing that.

We'll get some argument of top tax rates, probably, if the script actually calls for the GOP to be nominally in charge for a term. And maybe some shielding of corporations that really should be allowed to fail. And that'll be about it.

But on payday, that debt was repaid in increments of $25.00

Five dollars wasn't much for profit. But if a young E-5 was loaning out upward of $4,000.00 per payday, that got to be some serious coin.

POTUS Joe will be exposed by hearings with more evidence to be revealed, including an incriminating tape that's been foreshadowed. No evidence, my ass. Bank records will show that Joe and Jill took out more money from commingled accounts than they put in. Doctor Jill needed Blahniks, you see.

The Left can't stand the exposure. and Joe is fading by the day. They'll push Joe out now. So say hello to POTUS Kamala.

Why this matters is it opens up D primaries. The DNC can't just install Governor Brylcreem or the Wicked West of the Midwest using delegates harvested by Joe in the primaries.

308 Josh Hawley proposed capping credit card rates at 18%. Is he a socialist commie? Because when RFK proposed giving people a 3% mortgage he was a socialist commie. It’s essentially the same thing just coming at it from a different angle.

Its not small C economic certainly BUT...I see the logic in it.

Mandate artificially low mortgage rates and everyone invests in housing, raising housing costs...which is the opposite of the nominal goal.

Hell if you tell me I can borrow money at 3% when inflation is 10-25% and I'm borrowing to the hilt. I'd trade in my current house for two McMansions or however far I can get some questionable bank to finance me.

Mandate artificially low interest rates on CCs and I assume the CC companies will get pickier about who they give CCs to.

The Antarctic ice sheet is much larger than the artic but does not generate the same headlines, probably because there’s no money to be made since it does not have a shrinking trend, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2021 report. In fact,
NASA published a study in 2015 that showed that the Antarctic ice sheet had gained billions of tons of ice each year for decades. That included a net gain of 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.

Do you believe in a free economy, based upon supply and demand and free individuals able to make choices, or not ? Because "credit" is indeed a choice. And a poor one. The man offering you credit ? Not much better than a pot dealer. The man eagerly accepting that credit ? Not any better off than the man buying pot.

However, I wouldn't for a minute stop the sale of either credit or pot. If you believe in government setting the price of either ? Then setting the price of bread is a very short step away.

And when you set that price. You set the wage of the man making the bread as well. But as you say, usury laws are as old as time. So is servitude and serfdom.

I don't like it either. But arguing the federal government shouldn't do conservative things because that's not the federal government's job is pointless, and just ends up with the left slowly ratecheting the government in one direction endlessly while we forebear.

Spain is an interesting example. They conquered regions rich in gold and especially silver.

Which...meant they suddenly had more money, which they spent on questionable wars mostly. Within a couple of generations their domestic economy was a joke.

They did have some agricultural endeavors too of course - sugar, tobacco, etc, but the silver/gold just drowned out the real value they added by colonization/conquest.

427 Scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center announced Wednesday that the Arctic ice sheet extends 25 percent further than it did last summer, with 1.82 million square miles of ice at its annual low.

Also, Arctic ice coverage reaches its lowest extent in mid- to late-September following the melting season.
The melting ice/world destruction stuff slays me.
Arctic ice of course fluctuates, but for the past 10 years it’s been coming on strong. “This year’s post-melting season ice sheet is 40 percent larger than the record low, which was set in 2012. Upon news of the greater ice coverage, scientists noted that weather patterns fluctuate and pointed to a zone of colder-than-usual air pressure over the Beaufort Sea.” Weather! Amazing stuff.

Posted by: LASue at September 12, 2023 03:27 PM (Ed8Zd)

Someone /something mention ice sheets?

The Antarctic ice sheet is much larger than the artic but does not generate the same headlines, probably because there’s no money to be made since it does not have a shrinking trend, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2021 report. In fact,
NASA published a study in 2015 that showed that the Antarctic ice sheet had gained billions of tons of ice each year for decades. That included a net gain of 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.
Posted by: LASue at September 12, 2023 03:11 PM (Ed8Zd)

I find it suspicious that every study of Antarctic ice extent uses different measurements than Arctic ice extent (tons vs area covered etc). It's almost as if an Arctic decline is completely offset by Antarctic growth and vice versa. And the Climate Taliban types are desperately scrambling to cover it up.

Nah. Dat's just crazy talk.

The melting ice/world destruction stuff slays me.
Arctic ice of course fluctuates, but for the past 10 years it’s been coming on strong. “This year’s post-melting season ice sheet is 40 percent larger than the record low, which was set in 2012. Upon news of the greater ice coverage, scientists noted that weather patterns fluctuate and pointed to a zone of colder-than-usual air pressure over the Beaufort Sea.” Weather! Amazing stuff.

I remember standing near Point Barrow in August one year, watching the ice arrive on shore.

Lots of people watched it. It was quite popular. And she apparently (by rumor or reputation) went toe-to-toe with the showrunners, calling bullshit on their worst excesses that were wrong for the character, and demanded rewrites to fix it.

Ballsy move, and one that could have easily ended her career. It didn't. The show was a smash hit and apparently a lot of the reason why that happened was because of her fixes. If it's true, I wish her the best because she earned it - bet it all and came up victorious.

525 The folks in DC, NYC, Boston, and Chicago might actually believe that. I wouldn't doubt they do, given their Ivy League educations.

That all ignores the system it takes to create the lifestyles they aspire to. Seriously, just roll back society 100 years, and put them all at the top. They'll be uniformly miserable, no matter how much cheap local pussy and liquor they can enjoy. Not to mention the lower population densities and associated reduction in social interaction. And on and on.

Nah. When this bitch collapses, it's going to collapse bigly. As in multiple flags bigly.

And they'll still be the ruling class. Generations of underclass are accustomed to living like crap. The Ivy Leaguers are perfectly happy to rule in hell.

Well, I think you want a woman that is uh, "friendly" to YOU, and NOT other guys - choosing between a Jen Psaki or a Sandra Fluke are like choosing between Scylla and Charybdis

I don't think they will. I'd be happy as a pig in shit as a 1% in 1930, or even 1830. How many Ivy League grads do you know ? I've had the misfortune of knowing a few.

Sorry, but the end of the Federal Reserve will NOT mean the magical return to economic Eden, where inflation did not exist, and no word for death existed, because as we all know, before the evil Fed came into being, no one died.

Joe sure seems to love him some noble savages. This guy is stuck in the out takes from the movie A Man Called Horse. Or with his head shoved up John Wayne's ass.

Meh on all of them. I went to a Riot show at the Cow Palace back in '83 that totally fucking rocked. Can't remember who opened for them though. The only thing I remember is that security got freaked out by the guy in the mosh pit who was dual-wielding swords while sucking down tequila.

552 Anything packed in water has had the product downsized and the added water increased due to being sold by weight and the weighing process is fantastically accurate, trust me.

I did some bacon a while back and until I poured off all the liquid it was boiled bacon. Never saw so much added water.

554 Banning guns in Albuquerque, NM is working! Since the banning not one single CCW carrier has murdered anyone.

On the other hand the murders are doing what murderers do best. From today's Albuquerque Journal: One person was shot to death at a motel near the intersection of Interstate 40 and Coors NW, according to the Albuquerque Police Department.

"Officers responded shortly after 2 a.m. to the Days Inn in the 6000 block of Iliff Road NW, where they discovered a man died at the scene, said APD spokesman Gilbert Gallegos in a statement."
