I've followed inflation since I got into mortgage in 2002. It directly affects my business. We have not had significant inflation since then even after 2008-9 QE and stimulus. This will be the same.

And the same nervous nellies are out like they were then


Inflation is actually a good thing.

Still following this thread and still amused by the idiocy displayed here - by anyone who denied gigantic inflation / suggested this was a positive.

Anyone still wishing to make such an argument? Should I post a detailed breakdown of the latest numbers in various industries?

OP will be back summer 2023 when inflation is back at 2.3% and will say, "see, transitory"

Would that not be considered transitory? I mean, it will likely take that long to see stabilized pathways for many industries.

No. Administration is saying that it's transitory and would return to previous pricing. We're going to see rapid inflation for a while and then it'll most likely return to normal inflationary numbers, never returning to previous prices.

Well. To be fair, we never return to previous prices bc even inflation at 2% is still 1.11x 5 years later.

My gripe is that the word "transitory" when initially used was meant to imply brief, by the fact that Fed started with saying inflation would subside into summer 2021 to fall to middle of next year. They actually have no clue.

It didn't take a genius to look at real life and see simple examples like Chipotle raising prices 4% and then wages and then prices. Home prices shooting up 20% while rents lagged.

The only thing they'd say: "well look at lumber, it's way back down from $1000+". Yet completely ignoring that $550-$650 is still 20% higher than the previous 5 year average.

Businesses posting political memes from their business screen name is always an interesting tactic/marketing choice…

If your realtor doesn't have an informed take on inflation, you need a new realtor.

On that note, as the meme suggests, this is just the beginning of the inflation story. We are in for another 4 to 5 years of this, and it has the potential to do a lot of damage to our country. And people can stick their heads in the ground and try to pretend it's not real, but that's not going to stop it.

Informed take /= political take

So enjoy losing business I guess

Judging by the stars and posts it looks like I probably picked up clients. Also, by now, if you haven't figured out I don't do this specific business for the money, I don't know what to tell you.

4-5 years of 6% inflation is reality?

Inflation is reality and the impact on his business is real. How long and how much increase is debatable.

Who is worried about inflation?

The most experienced and intelligent Democrat consultant class.

But hey what do they know about massive, wide, and sustained inflation and its potential political impact in midterms?

Surprised Scimi hasn't replied, as a "professional trader". Funny on so many levels.
