Supply and demand historically drive prices. Inflation is the result of too many dollars chasing too few goods. Government creates inflation by printing more money out of thin air. The inflation rate by Government is around 2-3% per year, meaning your dollar loses 2-3% buying power every year. That is long term inflation. Short term inflation can be caused by manufacturing cost increases, such as spikes in fuel costs. The Dolt-in-Chief has caused diesel prices to increase by 250% in his illustrious presidential career thus far. Covid lockdowns affected manufacturing of products, which is why there are certain shortages now. Simple advice is "Buy only what you need, and skip the rest." Eventually the manufacturing/delivery/retail process will correct itself.
One thing that has struck me for almost two years now is what seems to be a concerted effort to push a scarcity narrative. And, in turn, push panic buying, which likely feeds into the Federal Government taking some kind of action.
How many times have we seen posts with pics of empty grocery shelves? Several months ago, maybe a year, there was a video posted with a mid 50’s white guy claiming he knew Senior Military Officers who were told to stock up on food. The guy had glowie written all over him.
Yes, I am well stocked to feed my family for months if needed. But I never engaged in panic buying.
The advice to stock up didn't seem glowie b/c the feebs were focused on incitement to violence, not prepping. Prepping would not help their narrative, it would only get thinking people on the road to self-sufficiency.
Now consider this - what program was given to the TV watchers at the beginning of the plandemic? Toilet paper - what an odd thing to hoard, right? If you wanted to prove that a subliminal would work, you need something harmless but obvious, not the usual milk-and-bread panic buying. I believe that test was successful and paved the way for the "safe and effective" and other programmed lines we've heard parroted from the TV watchers for more than two years now.
The prepared folks won't be in a panic now, but the TV watchers will be very antsy soon. Especially in the cities, where there are no pantries / larders / basements... it will only take one event right before midterms, and- martial law.
Yep, I haven't noticed any empty shelves other than the panic buying of toilet paper during covid and my local chipotle ran out of lids for the bowls and black beans once.
Lmao that's pretty much all the shortages I've seen. Gotta wonder how much of this is just smoke and mirrors.
I think that's what's up with the bird flu. First they cull our checkens then they tell us not to feed the wild birdsnunder the guide it will spread. My thought is so wild birds feed in the wild won't spread it? Come on
So, it's both. And supply and demand stopped being natural many years ago, probably even before the petroleum "fossil fuel" / limited resource hoax was dreamed up.
Russian scientists said years ago that crude oil is generated by some natural process deep in the earth.
Here's a test that anyone willing to do research can perform. Go online or to any other source and find out the basic elements contained in crude oil. Then find out the basic elements contained in your average animal or plant. You'll see differences enough to prove that oil doesn't come from dead dinosaurs or plants.
War of 1812 and it's aftermath, saw the start of market manipulation where the government started "command and control" of resources for "governments agenda". Manifest destiny was the pitch to justify acquisitions of the nations present and future resources. Right or Wrong, it was a major divergent from the free market, and the underlying cause of many struggles between fed and state and private interest.
Perhaps, but it is still a driving force in certain areas. Take the used car industry for example. Used cars are selling way above KBB due to lack of availability. In a grocery store with fixed prices, it doesn't apply, except when the stores react to the run, on say TP, and raise the prices to dissuade the hoarders.
it won't correct itself until they quit trying to control it. And that means alot of socialist controllers are going to lose money. that not gonna happen like we are now
Irresponsibly printing currency tends to lead to the type of inflation we're currently seeing and the hyperinflation that's likely to come but the 2-3% "regular inflation" has to exist in our current economic system simply because of the Federal Funds Rate and the fact that interest is paid every time currency is borrowed by banks. The whole thing is a ponzi scheme funded by the hardworking masses.
I think the US paradigm of money is entirely sick. Of course the obvious currency issues and central banking - past that we allow our money to speculation along the entire supply chain.
By that let’s compare US Defense spending to Russia.
We make overcomplicated things that cost to much for what they are.
Russia makes shit dead simple, as practical as possible, with cheap simple ways tk manufacture. The result is they spend less and have a more formidable footprint.
We may never know. But lately, I question everything and trust no one. Cui Bono.
Agreed

Sage advice.

True, but producers will always pass costs along to consumers, so when fuel prices go up, the price of the product rises commensurately.
Supply and demand is old school brainwashing.

What we get for our money has to be a focus.
