  1. You are ignoring reality. Money velocity is at historic lows and inflation is at historic highs.

  2. Stop creating bio weapons, sometimes they escape the lab.

  3. Federal Reserve current primarily goal is to keep the wealthiest wealthy, the bankers wealthy and investment houses wealthy. Yes, previously they cared about employment, the economy and keeping inflation under control, but that’s not how they’ve acted the last several years.

  4.  @antony6799  Not Exactly. The U.S. is dependent on imports and the falling value of the dollar causes more inflation.

  5. It's like piling big wet logs on a fire to warm up. Eventually, the logs dry out and catch fire, then the house burns down.

  6. cccccuy Actually, the Fed balance sheet has started going up again.

  7. Soon, if not already, lab grown will be able to add contaminants and it will be impossible to distinguish from mined diamonds,

  8. Unfortunately, that's allowed. Repurposing involves no new invention so it shouldn't be patented. All the crooked things the U.S. did to benefit U.S. companies will be turned back into our face by China.

  9. Give me a billion dollar grant. I'm not greedy. That's only a small part of the bill.

  10. China did not kill Muslims, they are re-educating them so they act like they live in the modern world and not the Middle Ages. By the way, what are we Americans doing in Asia and the Asian Pacific? Let adults in the Asian region work out their own problems.

  11. Japan and Korea are exporters, their debt is held internally and their population is aging, especially Japan. U.S. is an importer and its debt is held by foreigner countries and the Federal Reserve... like Venezuela.

  12. Inflation has nothing to do with the unemployment rate in the U.S. The U.S. inflation rate is dependent on the dollar not losing value against other currencies.

  13. Production is dropping faster than sales, which means prices are going up, even gasoline.

  14. All the Federal Reserve induced inflation costs of saving investors has been dumped on the poor, working and middle class. Now the vast majority of people have seen prices go up faster than their take home pay, so people need to focus on paying for essentials like food, housing, utilities and transportation and not other things.

  15. He's right the excess reserve interest rate is too high and needs to be lowered to encourage bank lending. The biggest problem with rate cuts is that it makes stock buybacks cheaper which does nothing to improve the economy. He's also right about Boeing having a negative impact because of the Max problem.

  16.  @annaandrea1731  You're saying someone should have the right to sell the right to sell a stock they don't own. I totally disagree with you. Selling multiple positions on one stock should be illegal. It's like writing multiple contracts to sell a house, which is illegal.

  17. What has gone down in price in 40 years? Average prices for homes, automobiles and everything else I usually buy has more than doubled in price except for electronics.

  18. You know the Spanish flu didn't spiral out of control until the year after it was identified. February is not an all clear.

  19. The corporations with too much debt load will declare bankruptcy. The Federal Reserve will take the loss, first with junk bonds, which means the debt disappears and no lender takes the loss. Hello inflation.
    2
  20. You are also forgetting about labor shortages and scarcity of materials. It will take years for manufacturing to catch up, especially in the auto industry and housing.

  21. Probably stagflation. Too much money being created by Federal Reserve and too much saving non-contributing losers. We need to be a productive country.

  22. Suresh Ganapathy Akira is pointing out that killing Soleimani will put the U.S. in a worse strategic position. The killing also galvanizes the Iranian public behind its government. It's also likely that he could simply be replaced with someone equally talented and hateful, or more talented and more hateful.

  23. Cut the airline businesses down to a profitable size, then expand as the market cones back. Airlines can issue stocks and bonds.

  24. Does anyone believe anything that comes out of Trump's government officials?
    2
  25. No, have the Fed buy credit card, student loans and home mortgages, then reissue them at 0% interest. Save the middle class.

  26. High inflation, low growth, high deficits and high debt, Jan is a bit disconnected from the real economy. Deflation in products was transitory, prices are rising again.

  27. Keoni Mana Glad you brought up it is one subset of taxes they allegedly pay. They probably pay less than 5% of Social Security, Medicare, gasoline and other taxes. How about what percent of all taxes people pay. Oh, that figure is suddenly hard to find.

  28. Something a lot stronger than marijuana.

  29. If we were only had freedom in U.S. to buy great cheap cars from China.

  30. The zombie apocalypse started under Trump.

  31. At least Nancy kept most of the money from going to bail out the rich.

  32. Cmtat The real fault is both parties, but the Republicans can be worse than the Democrats. Ending the Glass-Steagall Act was the worst thing the politicians did. Then ending most tariffs, tax write offs to exports jobs overseas, free trade with China, allowing publicly traded corporations to buy their own stock. We really need a Constitutional Amendment that forces a balanced budget. In a time of emergency declared by 60% ? of states, the Federal government can run deficits. States need more power. The Federal government is sucking the energy out of the Capitalist system.

  33. Lotsa Luck Are you a farmer welfare queen or corporate welfare queen?

  34. Some lumber based building supplies have doubled or tripled in price in the last year.

  35. vanwanderer x Germany once did what you claim is good Federal Reserve policy. It led to hyperinflation, a destroyed economy, Fascist dictatorship and World War II.

  36.  @EnderViBrittania  The highest earners do not pay the most taxes. You are ignore social security taxes, medicare taxes, gasoline taxes, utility taxes, government fees, and local taxes like property taxes, state taxes, and all the hidden taxes like import taxes.

  37. Inflation will go out of control beyond the stock market and salaries will not keep up. At some point, the Federal Reserve will be forced to raise interest rates at the wrong time.

  38. Cruise industry is heading down fast. Rest of tourist industry will be next. Followed by airlines. Boeing will be in more trouble. Malls, retail stores, restaurants will lose customers. The funeral business will get a boost - not a joke. Dropping interest rates won't help.

  39. Economic reality is... fracking with horizontal drilling has allowed U.S. oil to be abundantly produced at a cheaper price while higher mileage cars and more overall efficient manufacturing have weakened demand. Also, there has been a boom in solar and other renewables. Your government doesn't have and can't raise the income anymore to provide services like firefighting. There is plenty of mining towns that went out of existence. Welcome to the real world.

  40. Trump supporters, don't believe this. Buy on every stock drop. Your job is secure.

  41. June 2020 is the predicted peak of the pandemic.

  42. Politically connected corporations are getting giant bailouts while the rest of us will pay.

  43. As long as 5 year yields are under 2%, no worries.

  44. Airbus is lucky for massive Boeing screw up

  45. Federal Reserve is doing what it needs to do to limit inflation damage by all the deficit spending by Congress and “free trade” bills passed by Congress causing huge trade deficits. I’m 65 and 100% behind what the Federal Reserve is doing now. They did mess up several times earlier by not cutting back quantitative easing in March and not raising rates a little bit several times in the last few years. Better late than never.

  46. That's the most beautiful thing about the U.S. You can leave whenever you want.

  47. The infected animals were likely brought to the lab with the Covid virus, after extracting virus samples, the animals were sold by underpaid employees into the wet market. The rest is known.

  48. Like the flu

  49. The United States needs to pull out of South Korea and Japan, then they'll forget the past and both be forced to face the mutual threats from North Korea and China.

  50. There's money to be made in times like now.
