You’re wanting me to come to a a conclusion as to how “we” could have done better on a pandemic from Amazon reviews from strangers? Can I safely assume, because you used it as “evidence”, we could have done better the book blasts the Trump administration? It got a lot of 5 Star reviews. So I guess in your mind this, likely heavily opinionated piece, is correct it its assessment because of all those 5 star reviews? Let me ask you. How fair and balanced do you think those 5 (and 1 star for that matter) reviews were? Of what political stripe are those who bought a book entitled: Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response likely to be?

Tiberius Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 For the past few decades, the Federal Reserve has succeeded in keeping inflation low—perhaps too low. It had an assist: Shifts in the global economy, including globalization, demographics and the rise of e-commerce, helped keep prices in check. Some economists say these so-called secular forces have begun to reverse in ways that the pandemic has intensified. “The factors that were…playing a significant role in that low-inflation environment last cycle are beginning to fade,” said Sarah House, director and senior economist at Wells Fargo. That could have important implications for the Fed as it grapples with how much of the current inflation pickup is temporary, and for the U.S. economy as a whole. Ms. House said it means that either inflation will run higher in the years ahead or the Fed will have to keep monetary policy tighter than it otherwise would to meet its 2% inflation target. https://www.wsj.com/articles/reversal-of-long-term-forces-may-add-to-inflation-threat-11626082200?mod=hp_lead_pos5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
