Cope With Inflation

Twitter users across the political spectrum excoriated Bloomberg News for an opinion column suggesting low income Americans find ways to lower their costs to deal with skyrocketing inflation.The column, titled “Inflation Stings Most If You Earn Less Than $300K. Here’s How to Deal,” was written by Teresa Ghilarducci, a professor of economics at the New School for Social Research, a private university in New York. In it, she explains that inflation, especially soaring gas prices, will do much less harm to Americans who earn more than $289,000 per year. For those near the median income of around $50,000, or less,

They really don't care if people starve to death. Their political aims trumps your eating regularly, driving an automobile or living in a decent, heated home. The don't care what they destroy. To them, Hunger Games was a plan.

Although Marie Antoinette never said let them eat cake, Bloomberg is, in effect, saying it, and hopefully the 1% will suffer the same fate as Marie. I say Allons enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrive.

I hope she begins a weekly column, folks could use more of her useful ideas! Where, oh where, would any of us be without the wisdom flowing from the New School. I expect the Biden misAdministration already has a job offer out for her. Perhaps she can advise Kamalala on economic matters. Her ideas are just too wonderful to be confined to Bloomberg News. Our nation needs Teresa!!! /s - if needed.

Teresa don't think those making $289K are hurt as much. Sorry Teresa, but they are hurt more. They probably have saving, say $500K. That saving is dropping in purchasing power by 10% a year. That is $50K per year. Then, look at every investment mutual fund and ETF fund and all are losing money due to interest rates rising and the slowing economy. Conservative funds are down 3% or more, and the S&P 500 down about 7%. So that adds another 3-7% loss to that $500K in savings. Several years of this and the $500k saving will be eaten away, and the middle class destroyed. The Covid free money was not free, and now Americans are getting the bill for all of it. Democrats will ruin you for sure, but don't look to Republicans to save you. The Republican Party is worthless to American citizens.

At least Marie Antoinette didn’t say “lentils.” In the body of Professor Ghilarducci’s article is this chilling and heartless suggestion, “if you’re one of the many Americans who became a new pet owner during the pandemic, you might want to rethink those costly pet medical needs.” Perhaps the Professor would like to expand on this suggestion and tell us what to do when those pets die. Save money on groceries by eating them? Make them into soap? Save their pelts for blankets, rugs or coats? Should people who adopted them pre-pandemic also let their pets die? Or just give up lentils and eat dust and lint to save money to pay for their pets’ medical bills? Will veterinarians be forced to require adoption papers proving that the pet was adopted before March, 2020 in order to treat them? My goodness! The New School seems to be coming up with plain old-fashioned bad ideas. And where do they get their professors? At Grave Robbers Anonymous?

Ghilarducci also proposes that people with 401Ks or IRAs be forced to yield them into new "national savings pan," from which we will be given annuities supplemental to Social Security, based on what was in the account (sure.) Balances in your account at your death would not be heritable by your heirs, but instead would revert to the new "national plan" Got that?

When I read this piece the other day, I thought that Ghilarducci's name sounded familiar. Sure enough, I remembered that Mark Levin had interviewed her in 2008, not on his show, and recorded the message. Ghilarducci had no idea who he was, did not know he was a conservative. All through the interview it was clear she was clueless. The conversation was actually a bit hilarious as it was clear Ghilarducci did not know she was being played. Here's the interview. Do listen to it and enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jehb3S6Sr4o

One nice thing about inflation is that it makes the current price for anything you want to buy look like a real good bargain, especially if you look back at the deal a week from now.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Monday that the central bank may need to get more 'aggressive' with interest rate hikes as inflation is 'much too high.' The Fed raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percent last week to between 0.25 and 0.5 percent. Officials planned on a series of 0.25 percent increases throughout the remainder of the year that would draw rates up to 2 percent by the end of 2022 and to 2.75 percent next year. 'The labor market is very strong, and inflation is much too high,' Powell said in remarks for the National Association of Business Economics.

A Boeing 737-800 passenger jet operated by China Eastern Airlines has crashed in rural China, presumably killing all 132 souls aboard. Video of the plane nosediving into the ground and the aftermath has emerged. As is expected with any video of this kind, viewer discretion is advised. Much is unknown at this point, but I am a commercial multi-engine pilot and a flight instructor so I can add a few points of speculation to ponder. According to the flight data available, the rapid descent started at around 30,000 feet. That would point to either a structural failure that caused a loss of flight controls or a high-altitude stall

Shania Twain once had a hit song called “Man! I feel like a woman,” recorded in 1997, which was a celebration of womanhood. Twenty-five years later, women athletes are singing a different tune, one of dismay over competing against biologic men. What was once "girl power" is now simply horsepower, the benefits of male puberty and testosterone. In the song, it is, “Men’s shirts, short skirts”, but now it’s women’s swimsuits, long hair, and first place finishes. I am referring to Lia Thomas, winner of the NCAA collegiate women’s swim championship 500-yard freestyle event last week. But Lia wasn’t always Lia and was born and grew up as a guy.
