Rule 5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “terrorists”, “conspiracy buffs”, “radicals”, “militia”, “racists”, “religious fanatics”, “sexual deviates”, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

Fauci Accuses Rand Paul Of Using COVID For Political Gain And "Kindling The Crazies"

The researchers constructed RBT-0813,

The synthetic antibody capable of binding and neutralizing both Delta and Omicron variants.

The authors highlight that there are very few monoclonal antibodies that can successfully target both variants, and point out that despite the recent media domination of the Omicron variant, Delta remains a significant threat, and also appears to cause more severe disease. While the mechanism by which RBT-0813 neutralizes Omicron is not yet known, they suggest it is likely due to the TB202-02 arm, which binds at a different site compared to most other monoclonal antibodies. This could explain why it retains neutralization ability against the new variant.

They worship the enemy.

They are slowly realizing they printed too much money and it is causing inflation. Too late, and they will move too slow, so it will get much worse.

Real inflation is 12-16%, of course.

If you calculated it like they did in the 1970s, probably so.

The Cleveland Fed is predicting 7.26% CPI for January (the rigged way of calculating CPI). So they don't think we are past the peak yet.

Deflation, right Cathie?

Math is a funny thing for people, apparently. Or language.

I am fascinated that Americans think that their economists have a rigged way of calculating CPI data! Cool thinks that 7% CPI is in reality 12 - 16% and Vince agrees that CPI is rigged. If there was any substantiation of massive manipulation of CPI data that would be world news! I am sure that small errors are made; for instance a product that is no longer available is substituted by another; is it exactly right, etc.
You guys have fantastic economists and economic institutions and economists try to get things right, not manipulate data so that no one knows whats going on. The USA is not communist China!

The arguement is that measurement of inflation needs to be a fixed basket approach, whereas the USA government is using a substitution basket approach.
In my opinion you can only using a fixed basket for recent year measurements - the world is changing too fast, and consumer choices are changing too fast to use a fixed basket in the long term. The fixed basket will produce comparison errors.
So in my opinion the USA government has got it right by using a substitution basket approach (which is what I would have expected from the world's largest economy)

The PPI is 9.7%

Yes, richard5za, I know they did not have cable TV in 1913! But isn't it interesting that every change they have made for over 40 years, even if not necessary by changing culture, has been to make the inflation level lower?

Productivity is increasing and relative costs reducing. For instance there is a lot less material in a consumer electronic product now versus 1990; and factory assembly methods have improved, and lower cost factory labour has also reduced costs e.g. China
All this doesn't mean that there isn't currently a serious inflation problem. Vince makes the point that the PPI is above 9%!! The figure that caught my attention was 6.3% on food. Inflation on food is a formula for trouble especially from the poor

Food or taxes is the cuurent elderly issue we are observing for yes some time.
As we have seen with effective antibody treatment they do not even pretend to care about saving lives
as witness in this travesty. While the mechanism by which RBT-0813 neutralizes Omicron is not yet known,
they suggest it is likely due to the TB202-02 arm, which binds at a different site compared to most other monoclonal antibodies.
This could explain why it remains neutralization ability against the new variant.

Truly they worship darkness.
