Re: Saturday PO...Speak
This inflation thing is odd.
There is no shortage of anything here in South Texas, one of the poorer regions of the country - plenty of gas, food shelves filled in all grocery stores, shelves filled in other stores, low unemployment, higher pay, people spending liberally - buying all kinds of goods, using all kinds of services, housing boom, real estate boom, car selling like hotcakes.
Stores are full of shoppers.
There seems to be no supply chain problems what-so-ever.
Prices are higher, quantities in packages smaller for the same prices as the fuller ones were.
Sales tax revenues soaring for all cities - it is reported each month. Construction is going on everywhere, especially drainage and housing and roads and all kinds of businesses.
I'm thinking companies are just raising prices because they can get away with it, not because of any problem within the economy causing the price raises.
I think it is being called inflation for political reasons, but in reality, it is just price gouging in a booming economy.

I think the doom and gloom about this pseudo-inflation is nothing but politics.
Happy Days Are Here Again, unlike the misery under Turnip - job loss, Covid ineptness, corruption run amok, rise in racism and treachery and sedition trying to destroy our constitutional republic.
