Inflation Won’t End Soon

Some Fed presidents where talking 8 rate hikes over the year but since Ukraine can’t honor their deal with Russia these rate hikes won’t happen. The Fed may hike rates .25% but that’s really nothing. If they did do major hikes then we as the consumer wouldn’t really see anything different until at least the Fall (it takes time to go through the economic pipeline).

We will probably see $120/barrel oil and bigger hikes in meat prices and energy (electric)

I have literally bought nothing since prices have gone up. It’s going to be a complete chit show for a while. Once the rates go back up we will have a crippling recession/depression.

Tours close to over for a bit.

Why do you think this war was orchestrated? lol.

The Fed needed another crisis to keep rates low.

You think this was coincidence right after Covid lost its steam?

Personally I think Putin is a genius. I think Putin liked and respected Trump but he thinks Biden is a joke.

Russia/Ukraine tensions have always been high so this is nothing new but the timing shows that he can take over Ukraine for his pipelines, then he doesn’t have to deal with them anymore.

He also knows that the EU and America won’t jump in as it will officially be WW3 and really NO country can afford that.

Putin is honestly playing 4D Chess

2% interest in a 20% inflation world is just pissing on a wildfire. It's still massively advantageous to borrow all the cash you can and let inflation burn it away (eg Blackrock whaling out on the housing market).

My only hope is that zombie companies and national govts are so jacked to the tits on debt that even 2% interest is high enough to choke off their cash flow and kill them. This is kind of what's happening in China right now... the Chinese govt tightened credit to try and deflate a property bubble, and it turns out way more of their property developers like Evergrande were underwater than they thought. Keep an eye on that... that one will be interesting. Anyway, in this thesis, we get a massive 40% crash by Christmas 2023.

If itdoesn'tcrash, then inflation is just going to run away and eat us up. Eventually that market will burn itself out, as $200/bbl oil and $20 Big Mac meals leave Ameribrahs so broke they can't afford any consumer spending. They'll just have a rented room and instant noodles and live like a 3rd worlder, so car sales and golf club sales and all that fun chit just get shredded. But we will be in a world of chit for years before it corrects.

Signs point to yes.

I have a chart for that.



The deficit was under $1 Trillion when I was born. Didn't pass the $1 Trillion mark until Reagan in 1981. When my daughter was born in '05 we were around $6 Trillion.

Now, less than 2 decades later, we have gone from $6 Trillion to $30 Trillion.

I considered making an actual "doom scolling with katya" thread last night.

Commentary that explains it pretty well:

The CCP just announced it's going to pump its economy to try reach 5.5% GDP, which is a joke because the debt will offset the whatever production they get.

They are a Ponzi economy. A derivative of Cuckmerica.

What if they ditch the "currency issued as debt" model and move to straight up vouchers that can be exchanged for goods and services + good boy points?

Crushing feeling boyos. Sometimes feel I was born too late. Didn’t quite make it in time for the great reset (was 23 when covid hit and the govt shuttered the economy). Now feels like I’ll never make it.

They did that with gold and silver certificates but the Fed was built.

Good boy points is our credit score.

As I understand what is claimed to be coming from the WEF this will be beyond your record of timely payments.

They are talking about a digital identity and tracking everything about you...srs everything...browser history, physical location, employment, social media posts, medical records...everything.

The ESG score is this system for companies. Companies that step outside of the script will be punished by lower stock values and generally worse access to credit. Maybe even regulatory actions.

Heard a good argument that this is already in full swing and that it explains the depth and breadth of the sanctions against Russia which are being embraced by parties that have long been known to be neutral [Swiss banks] or would normally be expected to seek profits regardless of official sanctions [no movement of Russian oil because insurers [$$ finance] will not insure these ships].

WEF are a bunch of weirdos that are demonic people.

Sanctions against Russia is no big deal. Money talks over political will. This is why the US and EU haven’t sent troops.

What we don’t want is a communist China social credit score. This is basically what social media is and it’s toxic for everyone but most people are ignorant normies that have no clue how anything works, they will do what they are told.

A digital currency system would be a disaster. Imagine not being able to get your paycheck because of who you voted for or that you believe in god.

I know those feels. I got a decently paying job in 2019, and had enough to buy a house in November of 2020, and was talked out of doing so. Now I'm fukked. Considering buying a travel trailer to LDAR in.

The counter argument to that is that by blocking Russia from accessing their foreign reserves we are making foreign reserves less worthwhile. Why should I have a bunch of US treasuries if I can't use them because my country has been "cancelled" by the banking system?

What you describe [social credit system] is what they are talking about. Imaging you can't buy a ticket to an event, or to travel because your social credit score isn't high enough? Or that you have funds available in your electronic wallet, but you are only able to purchase from specific seller, or only allowed to buy certain products?

You drive a big vehicle that uses a lot of fuel? Ding to your social credit score. Bad boy, no meat for you, you have already used all of your carbon credit driving to the supermarket.

Posted something on social media counter to the government narrative? There are no plane tickets available to your destination on your chosen date.

Honestly man the tiny home movement has a lot of potential. In a few years I plan on buying a tiny cabin (on a foundation) outright and putting it on a few acres in the woods off grid.

They actually have an economy though. The US is limping along almost entirely surviving off services alone. If it comes down to it, they will be the ones bouncing back, not us.

Per Pres. Xiden only a few months ago, inflation is merely "transitory."
