(Some don't and become poor people, given enough time.) As for Obama taking money from Bezos and Bezos' ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, what is your point? That Obama is contaminated by Amazon truck drivers pissing in bottles because Obama took money from people you hate, 6ix? I can see why you don't have any money, 6ix. If the morals of buyers had to be excellent in 6ix's estimation before sellers and charities take their money, there wouldn't be much trading of cash for goods and services or giving to charity.

I realize that 6ix has "alternate" explanations for everything under the Sun that allow him to blame Biden for inflation because, you know, it has to be politics to blame, not blame how Capitalism has functioned for centuries. That way 6ix doesn't need to cope with real complications involving greed and wealth, complications independent of Federal Reserve Interest Rates (which Biden has no control over) and Covid-19 economic relief money (which only Congress has control over, not Biden) and Federal and State Spending (again, not in Biden's control). But 6ix and his ilk will never know any of this because they are a bunch of know-it-all ignoramuses.

I also get to opt out of any external attempts at holding my job hostage unless I get an untested vaccine without ever having to worry about how the hell I'm going to feed myself if I don't submit to tyranny. By the time I will have run out of money, I'll get to watch and see what happens to all of you and it will be about as long as it normally would have taken for a new vaccine to have been tested before they started using human beings as test-subjects en-masse.

Have you seen the Netflix cartoon "F Is For Family"? It is not funny. It is "The Simpsons" without a happy ending to episodes. Last episode I saw ended with a heart attack not played for comedy.

It shows Americans, very much the same as real ones I know, who can't cope competently with life and it doesn't over exaggerate how badly Americans go about living. It is not money or working that is their problem, because if the family won the lottery they'd be just as mentally unsound with new wealth and leisure as they are working.

The cartoon has never touched Trumpism, because "F Is For Family" is set in the 1970's, but this family would vote for Trump to save them from the problems they cause for themselves. Unfortunately, no politician can solve this family's problems, no matter how much they believe it is possible because their exterior problems are caused by problems inside their minds. But the family really wants to believe that cause and effect runs in only one direction: exterior problems cause mental problems. Reality runs in both directions.

6ix, go back and read your posts at the time Trump first announced he was running. You were like a Christian who heard that Jesus has returned for the Second Coming of Christ. You were literally like one of those drunks who finds religion and that gives them the strength to put down the bottle. And "F Is For Family" is funny if you laugh at videos of people falling down and getting hurt. I don't.

So many Americans are angry (which made them vote for Trump) because America hasn't been as wonderful as they dreamed it would be once they finish school and go out into the world. See the video:

Oh wait... That's you.

Trump reversed the trend of Democrat damage.

Now that Democrats stole the 2020 election and are behaving the way they are, everybody gets to see exactly who they are.

It's a beautiful thing.

Democrats as a party are putting nails in their own coffin.

Consumer prices rose by 6.8% in November over previous year, Labor Department ... The number marks highest annual inflation rate since June 1982
https://justthenews.com/nation/economy/consumer-price-index

,

As you’ve seen on national TV, “smash-and-grab” gangs are hitting shopping malls like the one near her – the same one I often take my granddaughters to.

And now there are even young thugs who’ll follow you home from the mall and break into your house.

It’s no wonder my daughter is afraid to go out to her mailbox in the dark by herself.

She’s not alone. Many people in the multi-troubled state of California are living in fear.

It is bad enough that for almost two years the Democrats in charge of the state government have used the war on COVID as an excuse to expand their powers and abuse us with strict lockdowns, school closings and mandates.

But seven years ago the state’s so-called progressives brought us Proposition 47, a sentencing “reform” measure that among other things essentially decriminalized retail theft by making stealing anything with a value of less than $950 a mere misdemeanor.

The reason your heating bills will be higher is that you are too stupid to blame your fuel supplier rather than the Democrats. Your fuel supplier knows you are stupid, which is why your supplier can easily raise prices and then laugh at you all the way to the bank depositing your money.

Vegetarians will say they aren't paying more for meat, but . . .

Four of the biggest meat-processing companies, using their market power in the highly consolidated U.S. market to drive up meat prices and underpay farmers, have tripled their own net profit margins since the pandemic started.

Financial statements of the meat-processing companies - which control 55%-85% of the market for beef, poultry and pork - contradict claims that rising meat prices were caused by higher labor or transportation costs.

https://www.reuters.com/business/meat-packers-profit-margins-jumped-30
0-during-pandemic-white-house-economics-2021-12-10/

Increases in meat prices accounted for 25% of the rise in consumer prices for food consumed at home in November, a big driver in the surge in inflation seen in recent months.

Tyson increased the price of beef so much — by more than 35% — that they made record profits while actually selling less beef than before.

The companies didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Don't bother dude. There are too many people dumber than you are. You can't even be the best at that.
Are you calling stupid the idea that Biden does NOT cause price increases in America because prices are also rising in places where Biden is NOT President?

Price rises aren't controlled by Presidents, but all the Trumptards I know in Texas are absolutely certain that the President controls prices, including control of the world price for petroleum. By the way, the world price and Texas price for petroleum are very close, with only small differences because of transportation and refining costs. Presidents have no control over crude prices and never will because crude can be shipped from anywhere to America. Coming from anywhere makes the price about the same everywhere in the world. https://www.thebalance.com/crude-oil-brent-versus-wti-808872

Is Biden President of the World? Because the World has inflation:

Inflation rate worldwide

Euro Area 4.1%
United Kingdom 4.2
India 4.48
Germany 4.5
Canada 4.7
South Africa 5
Spain 5.4
United States 6.2
Mexico 6.24
Russia 8.13
Brazil 10.67
Turkey 19.89
Argentina 52.1

https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate

Sometimes I forget what a moron you are - mostly because you neglect to sh!t up every sensible thread. But then you post such incredibly insipid drivel as this.
Do you really conjure that anybody except your demented Libtard buddies could believe that tiny Argentina with it's tiny economy is greatly affecting Global Inflation.

The largest economy on the globe is ours, USA. I'll make a table, with inflation, GDP, and a simple, rudimentary weighting score from multiplying the 2.
Table sorted by the weighted effect on Global Inflation.

G D P Infl Wghtd Nation
22.67 06.2 140.4 United States
05.37 09.0 048.3 Japan
16.64 02.3 038.3 China
00.38 52.1 019.8 Argentina
04.31 04.3 019.4 Germany
01.44 10.7 015.4 Brazil
00.72 19.9 014.3 Turkey
03.04 04.5 013.6 India
03.12 04.2 013.1 UK
01.48 08.1 012.0 Russia
01.88 04.7 008.8 Canada
02.93 02.8 008.2 France
01.28 06.4 006.9 Spain
01.80 03.7 006.7 Korea
02.10 02.9 006.1 Italy
00.30 05.0 001.5 South Africa

USA has greater effect on World Inflation, and more than 7 times the effect of all but 2 other nations.
Your assertion that the tail is wagging the dog is bunk.

The economy of USA is so massive that it requires catastrophic destruction to flip it from the success of Trumponomics to the return to Obomanomics 3.0 - no other nation has the influence to worsen Obiden's disaster. But Libtard Democraps will bring down the economies of the world.

It sure doesn’t look like high inflation is a permanent thing

In the New York Times today, economist Glenn Hubbard says, "We Need to Do Hard but Necessary Things to Tackle Inflation." Uh oh, I thought. What horrible things is he proposing?

The Fed must begin tapering asset purchases more aggressively now. In recent weeks, Mr. Powell has signaled a willingness to double the pace of the taper to $30 billion a month — a move he should make in this week’s meeting of Fed officials.

....The Fed should also raise its benchmark federal funds rate in early 2022. This is a short-term interest rate at which banks borrow and lend reserve balances with one another. He should also be prepared to make further adjustments should macroeconomic conditions, including broader and longer-lasting inflation, demand it.

That's it? Reduce asset purchases—something the Fed is already likely to do—and raise interest rates by a quarter point or so a few months from now? If this is all Hubbard thinks we need to do, he must not think the current bout of inflation is very serious at all.

There is the strongest connection in the universe between not having money and not having enough commonsense to understand simple concepts, such as those concepts in the graphs. People who suffer are the same people who are absolutely certain they already know what they absolutely don't know.

Once again... Not talking about myself. I'm fine.

Your graphs are bullshit, and you have no understanding how money works.

What's happened in the last quarter of 2021 is that expanded unemployment benefits ran out for tens of millions of Americans, Rent/Mortgage moratoriums ended, all while the average rent went up 13+% for the year, house prices have reached asinine levels after bidding wars all spring and summer for them, Gasoline has increase over 50% from last year, winter heating costs are up anywhere from 40% to 100% from last year, depending on your location.

For the moment, we won't even discuss what's going to happen to those millions of renters and homeowners who will lose civil suits and be forced to have their wages garnished for the rest of their lives paying back all that free rent they had for a year and a half with interest.

Most of the people who actually don't know how to read your cute little graphs are the minority voters that Democrats had always just taken for granted would always vote for them.

Looks like they were wrong. It's a 50/50 split on Latinos between Democrats and Republicans now, and I guaranty you that there will be a higher percentage of blacks voting against Democrats than did so in 2020.

Joe* had better stop listening to out-of-touch, apologist idiots like you and start addressing these problems, or you're going to lose the minority vote.

All you'll have left then are college "educated" whites and radicals.

Good luck with that party ever winning any elections going forward.

Here is a case study of inflation in action. By the way, nobody can stop this price gouging, except the people in the hospital who set the prices:

https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-12-10/column-healthcare-bi
lling-markups

Leaked Scripps records reveal huge mark-ups for hospital care - Los Angeles Times by David Lazarus

Ridiculous, seemingly arbitrary price markups are a defining characteristic of the $4-trillion U.S. healthcare system — and a key reason Americans pay more for treatment than anyone else in the world.

But to see price hikes of as much as 675% being imposed in real time, automatically, by a hospital’s computer system still takes your breath away.

I got to view this for myself after a former operating-room nurse at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas shared with me screenshots of the facility’s electronic health record system.

The nurse asked that I not use her name because she’s now working at a different Southern California medical facility and worries that her job could be endangered.

Her screenshots, taken earlier this year, speak for themselves.

What they show are price hikes ranging from 575% to 675% being automatically generated by the hospital’s software.

The eye-popping increases are so routine, apparently, the software even displays the formula it uses to convert reasonable medical costs to billed amounts that are much, much higher.

For example, one screenshot is for sutures — that is, medical thread, a.k.a. stitches. Scripps’ system put the basic “cost per unit” at $19.30.

But the system said the “computed charge per unit” was $149.58. This is how much the patient and his or her insurer would be billed.

The system helpfully included a formula for reaching this amount: "$149.58 = $19.30 + ($19.30 x 675%).”

You read that right. Scripps’ automated system took the actual cost of sutures, imposed an apparently preset 675% markup and produced a billed amount that was orders of magnitude higher than the true price.

This is separate from any additional charges for the doctor, anesthesiologist, X-rays or hospital facilities.

Call it institutionalized price gouging. And it’s apparently widespread because the same or similar software is used by other hospitals nationwide, including UCLA, and around the world.

The former Scripps nurse said she decided to snap photos of the system as she watched stratospheric price hikes being imposed while a patient was still on the operating table.

She said one of her jobs in the operating room was to keep a running tally of all supplies used during a procedure. As she entered each item into the system, it automatically noted the actual cost and tabulated how much Scripps would bill for it.

“I understand that hospitals have overhead,” the nurse told me. “But to mark up something like sutures by 675% is insane.”

Prices can be raised no higher once the price gouger has taken all the money. That is why prices rise to match wage increases. From the viewpoint of the price gougers of America, this logic of price gouging is impeccable.

Wages have been declining

You seem to completely misunderstand who benefits from inflation. If you can raise your prices, you benefit, but then you are causing inflation for those poor souls who can't. It's pretty straight forward how inflation works and for who it works best. And it is even easier to understand why prices can't increase too fast: buyers wouldn't be able to pay and sales would collapse to zero dollars per day, which doesn't benefit sellers. Competent sellers know the story about killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Raising prices too fast kills the goose.

Yes, Union members like inflation, it creates pay raises for them while working folk get nothing. But they don't like it too fast, because they need to wait for the CPI to register the inflation. They like it best when there is a large inflation bump right at the end of the period when the CPI translates into their pay raises, then they don't spend too much time falling behind the curve.

"It's hilarious", 6ix wrote. No, it is NOT hilarious that voters keep blaming inflation on the wrong people, but it does make the right people laugh hilariously all the way to the bank. Voters are barely smart enough to make some money but not close enough to being smart enough to halt inflation. The right people who set prices really do delight in the fact that there is always more money to take while the voters never do understand well enough what is happening to stop the game of price gouging and inflation.

6ix does use a powerful tactic to handle inflation. If 6ix does not buy then the price setting cheaters in the inflation game can't trick 6ix out of money. The tactic has built-in disadvantages, but the tactic is very straight forward in execution. In Firefly, the crew avoids price inflation by not buying. Instead, the crew steals, which is never straight forward in execution and has its own built-in disadvantages as a tactic for winning the money game and beating inflation.

I liked this example of inflation because it was so blatantly a huge grab for money while people were vulnerable. Texas electric generators took in $50 billion in one month when they usually take only $9.8 billion in 12 months!

Texans spent an exorbitant amount on electricity during a week in which most of them couldn’t get much electricity. For the entirety of 2020, Texans paid $9.8 billion to keep the juice flowing. But on February 16, 2021, they spent roughly $10.3 billion. Costs for the month of February totaled more than $50 billion.

During the February 2021 freeze, the gas industry failed to deliver critically needed fuel, and while Texans of all stripes suffered, the gas industry scored windfall profits of about $11 billion.

It’s possible that some of the massive profits were illicit. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is looking into potential market manipulation by Texas pipeline companies, which are subject to the least regulation and oversight of any pipelines in the country. Those companies operate in a regulatory penumbra. For their pipelines operating only in Texas, they’re generally exempt from reporting tariffs and other market information the federal government requires of interstate pipelines.

The article in Texas Monthly explains how they got away with legally stealing all that money in higher electric and gas bills. It is tl;dr for most people, but that's EXACTLY why most people always get screwed by inflation. To understand how sellers use inflation you need to think like a seller who can arbitrarily raise prices sky-high when the conditions are right. When are conditions right? When you can falsely shift the blame for higher prices away from the sellers who actually control prices to the weather, to the pandemic, to somebody else.

I've assumed that the average man will never understand how prices are set. It is NOT the government setting the price, but because the average man believes it is the government, the real powerful people have even more power than they would if Mister Average understood.

If you looked at a pipeline map you would know that not building the Keystone Pipeline was good for Texas and bad for Canadian tar sand oil producers. The Canadian energy infrastructure company TC Energy officially abandoned the project in June 2021. Either Indiana gasoline dollars go to Canada or to Texas, but price per gallon of gasoline does not decrease when Canada is selling tar sand oil in the USA because tar sand oil is more expensive to refine into gasoline than West Texas crude.

Wind power generation is not how natural gas prices are set.

Russia made a slight reduction in the amount of natural gas sold to Europe and the result was a huge increase in Russia's income from natural gas. The price all over Europe, not solely nations buying Russia's gas, skyrocketed. "Russia’s natural gas production is expected to hit an all-time high this year, beating the 2021 record, yet this winter season’s deliveries to Europe have been much lower than usual." Putin has at long last understood how Capitalism works -- an artificial reduction in cubic meters of natural gas sold causes a huge increase in price and income measured in Euros.

Low natural gas deliveries from Russia appear to have artificially tightened the European gas market, the IEA’s Executive Director Fatih Birol said earlier this month, adding that energy systems “face significant risks” by relying too much on one supplier for a key energy source.

“We see strong elements of ‘artificial tightness’ in European gas markets, which appears to be due to the behaviour of Russia’s state-controlled gas supplier,” Birol wrote.

When the Federal government hands out trillions of dollars, that does not raise prices. But sellers know that buyers now have money that they didn't have before the government handed out trillions. The sellers raise their prices to take that money away. Sellers are not forced to raise their prices but they will when the opportunity comes along. Buyers don't understand how to handle sellers while sellers understand how to cheat buyers. Sellers who are too dumb to raise prices will go out of business, leaving smarter sellers to continue swindling their stupid customers who have no idea about what to do, other than to withdraw from life. I haven't seen many buyers do anything other than surrender to sellers without a fight.

I realize you won't understand, because if you did you would have to fight. Most Americans won't fight because they are kind of cowardly when facing someone with a strong will and a belligerent attitude, which describes most sellers. Buyers won't band together in a war against one seller, although that is the obvious strategy of a union against one employer.

this might be interesting.
Expenditures in 2020: $203.9 B. (Average $51.0 per Q) For Q4: $66.6 B.
Expenditures in 2021: $262.6 B. (Average $65.7 per Q) For Q4: $76.1 B.

Other than Lord Darth Obidens inflation, this seems remarkably stable. It takes a long time for such a large company to slow down the rate of expenditures. But they were able to do so in 21Q4 in order to make a small profit.

Next time you hear about "supply chains" and "inflation" causing rising gas prices, keep in mind:

Exxon just posted a $8.9 billion profit and is giving it all to shareholders and executives via a stock buyback.

Its main competitor just did the same thing

Chevron just posted a $15.6 billion profit, its biggest since 2014. The extra money is going to investors via a larger dividend.

We have a corporate greed problem, not an inflation problem
