Akchually, since we're being annoyingly corrective, shouldn't it be "themself"?

OR is it able-ist to assume the commentor does not express multiple personalities?

Occam's razor says, "no".

The problem is that it will make their experience worse subtly & slowly. It's a boiled frog scenario.

It's more like telling someone to methodically manage their irrigation before, during, and after droughts.

Producer prices stopped rising a while ago, and consumer prices are beginning to follow. This is routine & predictable. Was there some price gouging? Of course. That's routine & predictable too.

Water is wet.

Are you saying we are in a recession, predicting one, or just stating a trueism?

SPY is still down since Jan 2022. It'll have to surpass that (and be rising quickly) before it feels too hot for me.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that we (including economists) don't really understand inflation. It seems to be a product of the zeitgeist. If we believe there is inflation it will be their, if we don't, it won't. That is at least the case for the demand side of the equation. The supply side of the equation is affected by scarcity, either man made or natural. I don't think money supply or interest rates have nearly as much effect as we've long believed.

I like lemmings.

I'm not a fan of sumlemmies. Since "communities" is a mouthful, I propose "communes" or just "commies".
