But morons like BillB say "2% inflation". What a clown.

In 2020 alone, the U.S. has created 22% of all the USD since the birth of the nation.

First, I didn't say inflation would be 2%. I simply explained to you the Fed's newly stated policy to allow it to rise above 2%, with 2% as a target average. Previously, the policy was to try to keep inflation below 2% at all times.

IIRC, I predicted the dollar's value would drop about 5% because of all the Trump and COVID "stimulus".

Secondly, you keep saying this hyperinflation is coming, but you never say WHEN. What a chickenshit. You've been saying the same low-IQ crap for more than a decade, and you've been proven wrong year after year after year. There are obviously forces at work that you (and Ron Paul, your daddy) do not understand.

The money is already out there, so where is the hyperinflation?? Anyone can say "the world is going to end," and be right, but it's rather important if it's supposed to happen in 2 weeks or 2 billion years. If you can't attach a reasonable time frame to your "prediction," then you haven't predicted shit.

You didn't explain to me, I explained to you. And you have it wrong. Their "new" policy is not to target a 2% average. MORE! Get back to me when you can check your enormous ego.

Correction: I tried to explain it to you. It obviously went in one ear and out the other, like all the other stuff I try to teach you.

Unlike you, I actually read the speech. I don't rely on morons like Ron Paul to tell me what to think.

"The Federal Reserve has signaled a major shift in its approach to managing inflation, as it tries to do more to aid the US economy's recovery.

"The central bank will now target an "average" of 2% inflation, rather than making 2% a fixed goal, giving it more flexibility, boss Jerome Powell said."

What would qualify as hyper inflation? I'm old enough to remember well over 10%. 15%? I remember during the banking crisis the wise men of RGP were going on about rampant inflation. It was coming and we were doomed... or something. If I had locked in financing rates then it would have cost me a bunch.

Workers get paid twice a day so their spouses can pick up their paychecks and run to the grocery store to buy food before the prices go up.

I think we are feeling it now. How many bags of groceries can you presently fill with $100? I would not be surprised at all if that number changes to $200 by February. Save this post if anyone wants an opportunity to jam it up my ass when I'm wrong, it seems people enjoy picking on Popinjay so much. But expect the shoe on the other foot if I am correct. Trust me, I will be posting, and calling all kinds of posters dumb mutherfuckers. Especially the Canadians.

When and if things go off the rails and services are interrupted, I will take my 40k in silver and gold and you take your 73 dollars in BitCoin to "Market". We will stand in line and you show them your phone with the "404" on your screen. I would probably buy you an avocado or a mango.

A lot. It is all spent, becoming taxable income for those providers of
goods and services. It's not tucked away in tax sheltered investments.

Why don’t we just give everyone about 100k/year?

It has nothing to do with liberal/conservative. Even now Republicans are yelling at Trump for blocking a stimulus. (Giving government money away so it can be spent on corporate products).

Have you any idea how close we came to waking up and finding all the banks closed? If the gov had not bailed out Wall Street, that would have happened.

And it can again. So you can have your bit-coin dream; I'm hording cash. not gold; real green cash. (50's & 20's). When you're in the supermarket and your credit card doesn't work, they'll stand you aside for me and my cash.

I've witnessed "Money Changes." I was in the Philippines when the government declared 'this money' no good and you had to trade it in for 'that' money (script). I suspect bit coin will go that way...

You took the analogy out of context. Supplementing the incomes of the
poor, apart from being compassionate, has a positive effect on the
economy. Giving the poor fortunes is absurd, it would wreck the economy.

Drinking a reasonable amount of water is good for your health, too much
is absurd, it would wreck your health.

The economy and your health are the parallel components in the analogy.

Just admit it, you made a lazy point that was a fallacy, it's not the

The grocer is going to take bullets and bandages he don't need, water he already has, gold & sliver he can't cash and his employees and suppliers don't want?

Save this post if anyone wants an opportunity to jam it up my ass when I'm wrong, it seems people enjoy picking on Popinjay so much. But expect the shoe on the other foot if I am correct. Trust me, I will be posting, and calling all kinds of posters dumb mutherfuckers. Especially the Canadians.

First of all, they have completely changed and perverted the CPI to misrepresent what's really happening. And up till May, the 5th month, monthly is pegged at about .27%, annualize that and inflation is about 6.4%!!! Stick that in BillBlab's pipe and smoke it.

Some retailers are eating the extra cost to them, they don't want to shock the consumers, but they can't keep doing that forever. The end of the year is going to be a whole new story.

IT'S THE MONEY SUPPLY! THE MONEY SUPPLY IS MUSHROOMING LIKE AN H-BOMB.

L.A, Big Mac...still $6.19. But I'm sure it will go up a dime any day now.

Without glib stupidity you wouldn't have anything. That must be why Clave is attracted to you.

BTW- I play pool (or used to) with someone that owns two restaurants. He's 1,000 times smarter than you and related to me something very similar to the below news article when I ran into him recently.

'Moreover, while chicken-wing prices are at record levels, he noted that Wingstop has implemented price increases to offset some of that pressure.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that restaurants are immune to shortages—some are buying wings from retailers like Costco Wholesale (COST)—and this comes at a time when wages are rising. Yet Saleh is confident that Wingstop can overcome these issues.

Wingstop isn’t the only restaurant dealing with these issues. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) boosted prices for certain items this spring, a move that management said hasn’t deterred customers. As Barron’s has noted, more price increases could come as restaurants compete to attract employees with higher pay. Prices have been on the rise throughout the pandemic.

Supermarket prices are climbing in tandem, so consumers may be less likely to eat at home to save money.'
