2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

[bernorange 8359]

It's a segment of Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business talking with Judy Shelton about the Fed, JPow, inflation and monetary policy.  Watch if you want to or not if you don't.  It's no sweat off my back either way.

Well, Maria is a super sharp and fair talking head, so sure.

I guess that's one way to keep more people in Mexico, tariff the crap out of Chinese goods so everyone moves production to Mexico.

CPI at 0.7 for trailing 6 months.

Will be a December and January reading before inauguration. As well. And a February reading that most likely won’t have effects of tariffs if gone through on day one. Good chance of headlines with under 2% inflation in first 2-3 months of Trump presidency.

Net migration between the US and Mexico is basically zero over the past 15-20 years.

This is some bullshit.  Extreme shrinkflation.

Counterpoint: Americans are fat as fuck and can eat their weight in scrimps.

Here in the burbs you can only get Endless Shrimp on Monday's now (it was everyday for a spell), and I got it about a month ago. The waitress was annoyed at first, but by the end of the 3 hour marathon, I had won her respect with the sheer willpower that comes from the unique combination of being gluttunous + cheap. I also probably drank two entire batches of fresh brew iced tea.

While true, it's not the migration of Mexican citizens at the southern border that is the concern over the past decade or so.
