That's where much of the discussion has centered. It's anecdotal but for many, they're seeing a return to work as the payments decrease. Others seem to be able to still get the payments. Others have gone to side hustles and making income that way. There doesn't seem to be a clear consensus.
People are just grinding axes. IMO 90% of it is COVID either directly or indirectly.
Had a great chance to pick the brain of someone who's on top of all this stuff for an hour last night and they suggested that the Pfizer/Moderna pills that hit the news a couple weeks ago look pretty legit.
People returned to work. A lot of them just didn't return to the crappy job they had.
This is what I'm calling the Take This Job and Shove It theory.
Everyone who's not 100% biased knows that we would be facing significant inflation no matter who was president. You can't go from a demand near 0 to off the charts like we have now coupled with trillions pumped into the economy over the last decade without experiencing massive inflation.
This isn't "massive inflation" or hyperinflation or anything like that. It's just more inflation than any of us has experienced unless you're old enough to have experienced the 1970s. It's nothing the Fed can't fix if they deem it fix-worthy.
I agree. BUT many in here are using the expected, temporary higher inflation to score "gotcha" points against the current adminstration.
Can he call it a tax cut like some other guy did?Right now oil prices back down to 2018 levels. Headlines in a few weeks, probably: "Gas is cheap again. Why this is a problem for Biden" https://t.co/GnitCOCNpC

Compared to Trump? Nah.
He pretty much did and it was what I was referring to. It was never a tax cut or like one as he had little to do with it. Same as Biden will have little to do with it when it goes back down some.
Anyone who would pay 100% more for a Christmas tree and not blame the price gouging tree sellers but some political party was never really independent in the first place.
I paid $60 for a tree that used to be $60. As always, my anecdote or yours tells us absolutely nothing about the state of the economy.

Don’t stress it man, you’ve got about 5 loyal followers (maybe a couple less aliases)that will buy anything that protects the narrative. All good.
You seem wound up this morning.Don’t stress it man, you’ve got about 5 loyal followers (maybe a couple less aliases)that will buy anything that protects the narrative. All good.
No, it really was an honest question. I didn’t understand your point. Why don’t you think my question was honest? That seems uncharitable.
Only thing surprising is that you didn’t claim the price on your tree went down this year, all good and not wound up at all thanks for the chuckle!
Why would I claim that the price went down? Would you like me to send you a link to the tree farm we go to every year?Only thing surprising is that you didn’t claim the price on your tree went down this year, all good and not wound up at all thanks for the chuckle!
