Just sharing an anecdotal story. I'm working a multi billion dollar renewables project that would get substantial benefit from the build back better legislation as far as subsidies.

We recently had a construction contractor let us know they were going to start over on our active service negotiations because there's going to be so much money and demand for their services flying around with this bill. They reopened negotiations $45 million higher…

Classic example of inflation in my mind and will be interesting to see how much of the subsidy benefit gets eroded by inflationary pressure

There's no inflation it's transitory and good.

That's it just inflation though right? That's, "hey, the government just decided to use a ton of tax-payers money for projects. We can name our price"

I can't remember his age off hand, but he was still at least a decade from retirement. I only met in passing, but he seemed like a great man.

All of it. The market knows exactly how much subsidy is there, ergo it will all be consumed.

It's the same issue with traditional ag - the margins are known, so there's never any money for the farmer.

1/8th of the world population is currently experiencing double digit inflation.

Who isn't? Japan is supposed to be quite low - the US is well into double digit inflation, if its calculated the way it "used to be."

I think I have 4 inputs which have not.

My meme was spot on. Inflation at 6.8% up almost 100 bps from last month.

Inflation hot? Let's just change how we measure it. CPI weight change coming January 2022.

It's interesting to compare the current CPI method to that used in the early 80s

Don't worry about OP, I've been getting him set up on bitcoin now that he recognized the errors of his reality.

The mixture of obtuseness and certainty is hilarious.

When I pop off on the Internet - which is frequent - I know what the hell I am talking about, and quite ready to fight about it.

However…

I kindly invite the OP back to argue this subject, about which I am far from expert. In fact, quite far!

How would it go? Let us reason together, and discover!

Now, why am I being so generous?

Because the OP has a Finance degree. Finance!

And, given this expertise, I want to challenge myself, as a voluntary transfer out of Mays in summer, 1998.

Let's begin with a prediction:

Inflation will be a very major issue in 2022.
Bureaucratic manipulations will not be able to hide nearly double digit inflation, particularly not in those areas where voters really notice, consumer products.

OP can't respond because his internet company raised their rates again from the "purely transitory" inflation. Sad.

Unfortunately, I no longer believe inflation is transitory. I do think it will decrease to around 3%, and may even turn deflationary at the end of 2022, but will quickly reverse and remain in the 3-4% range over the next decade.

inflation protection, for example - TIPS, real estate, stocks(hopefully) will provide protection for those living off the income in their portfolios. Anyone with long time horizons not living off income from their portfolio will likely survive

One might look at this comparison and come to the conclusion inflation is closer to 10%…

Be honest: are you only just now saying this because Powell finally fessed up to it? In other words, did you continue preaching the "Fed is brilliant and never wrong" gospel right up until the moment when they admitted they were horribly wrong?

How can we be assured this upward trajectory really does exist?

When even my wife, who voted for Mitt Romney because she thought Paul Ryan was "hot," notices massive inflation and complains about it weekly….this will be a major issue in 2022.
