** 15-Dec-2021 World View: Retail Sales

We're always posting links to articles that talk about things that
would push inflation higher.

November's retail sales numbers were far lower than expected.

I would call this something that could push inflation lower.

-- US November retail sales +0.3% vs +0.8% expected

Your reference to the future constantly proves that inflation is here (there is no deflation, period right now), and that you hope it goes lower because of your prediction, which is not based on anything real (currently).

Now, if the Fed is stupid enough to raise rates and crash the market, yes there will be reason to talk about "deflation". But I haven't heard you say anything like that, or predict it. As the other posters point out, everything regarding COLA and prices is going up dramatically, and has been for a long, long time at this point.

Having said all the above the FOMC news conference is at 2.30 pm (Eastern Time) today, and perhaps we will all be better informed afterwards

We will be glued to the MSM at that time, lol

"Year-on-year, export prices soared an unprecedented 18.2 percent, ..."

If trading partners are paying lots more for good from the USA it may be that they don't want to buy more bonds or stocks from the USA with the money they get from selling stuff to the USA.

If trading partners are paying 18.2% more for stuff from USA that will tend to drive up prices in the USA.

I think this is the same story as the oil price which is up 60% over 12 months but same level as 3 years ago. We need a longer history in order to see possible interpretations

Three rate hikes? Ha, at most each would be .25%, and I don't even believe they'll ever do that once they see how bad of shape the economy is in coming end of Q1 2022. It's all bloviation.

"The committee’s median projection is that personal consumption expenditure inflation in 2022 will be 2.6 per cent, and it is unanimous in thinking that in 2023 it will be barely above 2 per cent."
[...]

"Everyone, from Powell on down, is betting on transitory. If the bet is lost, it’s going to be ugly."

They have been wrong about inflation this year, seems odd to me that anyone believes them for next year.

Brigden finally said it right on a recent interview, which is what the stupid deflationists really mean, and he's even more correct: disinflation might happen, but it might take 7 years.

Precisely my point, and has been, for over a year now.

I also love the idea that if you destroy the middle class with higher and higher inflation/COLA, and discretionary income goes down, and you shut down businesses and disallows workers for no good reason, the reason was "deflation" and not the "inflation" originally causing it. LOL, it's laughable how stupid this shit is.

Texas-based McCullough urged that treatments including ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies are being sidelined in order to “create acceptance for, and then promote, mass vaccination.”

The lack of treatment is beyond the pale of menace while you piss and moan about inflation.
Stone cold murder is the supression of timely antibodies treatment.
The plain issue is the effective treatment window. Data fragility is the core issue of intent.
These people are monsters of what and who they kiss ass to and for.

In addition, Twitter appears to be suspending people for retweeting clips of Rogan’s McCullough interview:

Unreal. A clip from one of the most highly published cardiologists in the world. We are so easily ignoring some of the most important lessons from history.. on a daily basis. I feel bad for those majoring in history right now. What’s the $@&#! point https://t.co/9hZS8ir00v

The entire Rogan interview with Dr. McCullough is of course still available on Spotify, which has a deal to distribute Rogan’s podcasts, although how long that will last with Rogan increasingly defying the establishment by allowing open discussion is anyone’s guess.

Until you display them on the Cathredral Spire for decades you considering Science is just simple folly.

As we conveyed we are focusing now on those who survived on a few other levels also now.
Yea it knocked our ass sideways as the valscular disease it is from these lunatics.

The former alleged rich will use their accumulated wealth to try and preserve power on the backs of so called educated.
They will always have access to good food, clean water and air, oil and electricity, as the rest will be cut off since the the means of
supply are left the zone of depleted skills vanishing. Kind of like the comment of an Institionalist who never pulled a weed from a garden genuises
compared to MMT paper cults who never planted even a radish either. The something for nothing is ending like the Romans and Tree Taxes as before.
The caloric per acre output is the only existing metric that will ever matter as the chemical farms fertalizer costs spike increase 300 percent for the dead soil cults from the carbon they smothered to needed supply curtailed. No one was against alternative power facts just its deplaoyment to sane levels given 30 million mouths to feed from open border cults that deny facts. These current ESG lunatics have had decades to prepare and all they can produce is gullable crayon chewers looting each other as they flew over 400 planes as it was put abtly that would fuel a panzer division in abject stupidity. Try to get to the point that the confidence of the arrogated remove all doubt as what fair and free trade actually is meant to be
since the life boat ethics white papers. As we enter another 100 day provision window completion which is just an overlap of the current
disaster capitialism playbook of the wasting underway. Our current event as seen was over 200 miles of devasation so yes we are busy about now
so the brain dead social map of the budget is pointless if we recover timely. Old enough to know better as they worship deficiet spending as it does not matter. As the sale of equity indicated to pay tax they over spent in sane limits. Those who hedged know better what saving is actually meant to do.
