Is it just this? It's gonna stop working lol, it already is
What is the US response to supply chain and job market collapse?
Are they just so fucking up their own ass they aren't seeing the issue? I do not understand

That's a 7% inflation lol. Thats across the board too, I'm sure certain markets are higher.
Food and housing are rising at 07-08 levels, but they're just shrugging at it
Like that ain't gonna work without some kind of interference from the fed. What the fuck is the response
The plan with the economy (as with COVID, the climate and pretty much everything else) is to kick the can down the road, preferably long enough for it to become someone else's problem.
It has worked fine until now so it'll probably keep working. :shrug-outta-hecks:
Idk how far you can kick this sort of thing lol
You can kick it indefinitely. They'll just cut checks until the US enters a currency crisis or something, and that could be decades away. A nice little war in Central Asia or the South China Sea is also a high-risk, high-reward situation if we really gotta get out there and get it how we live it.
A recession with massive necessity price increases and a failing supply chain on top of the covid situation seems like something you cannot ignore, logically, but this whole thing is made up so maybe you're right.
It seems like we'll hit a boiling point though, socially speaking, as its hard for me to imagine it getting a whole lot worse before that, but maybe I lack imagination
Biden's priorities are currently telling social media companies to stop misinformation "in their shows" and trying to start a nuclear war with Russia. So yeah, the can is being kicked and will be until the leg stops working.
