Stagflation 

The definition, high inflation, low to negative growth, high unemployment is not met based on the current conditions.

Tell that to the unemployed who can't find jobs and have to pay higher prices for everything

Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) reported there were 7,437,000 job openings in June. There are plenty of jobs. 

 

And to my point again, the condition defined as stagflation does not currently exist.

Sure, plenty going unfilled. Skills not matching up. 

 

 

Prices up, unemployment up, sentiment down.

Trump's tariff policy is a disaster

Tibstain is a healthy 170 lbs

 

Tibstain embarks on a diet of wings, burgers soda and fries for months.  Resulting in weight gain at a rate of 10 lbs per month. After 6 months Tibstain's weight has ballooned to 230 lbs.

 

Tibstain's doctor reads him the riot act and he alters his diet to healthier fare and reduces his weight gain to 1 lb per month.  Cheating with 2 am ice cream raids is not doing him any favors however. 6 months later his weight is 236.

 

Since Tibstain is a moron he blames his 66 lb one year weight gain solely on the recent 2 am ice cream raids.

Inflation is likely to tick up today. Public service announcement for Billstime*, C-section, and Tiberius - if it lasts longer than four hours, call your doctor.

 

* good chance he had his removed. Nevertheless.

What are you Ralph Norman now?  Inflation is bad.   Americans are stretched.  But apparently you don’t care because links were owned and conspiracy theorists prevailed.

Are you unemployed?

 

The unemployment rate today is about a third of what it was when I graduated from college.

Quote

Young people graduating from college this spring and summer are facing one of the toughest job markets in more than a decade. The unemployment rate for degree holders ages 22 to 27 has reached its highest level in a dozen years, excluding the coronavirus pandemic. Joblessness among that group is now higher than the overall unemployment rate, and the gap is larger than it has been in more than three decades.

Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy to give a more-accurate reading of underlying price pressures, rose 3.1 percent from a year earlier, hotter than the prior month’s increase and above expectations.

“It’s a meaningful increase in inflation that points to upward pricing pressures across the economy for the remainder of the year,” said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM.

 

Annual rates could edge toward 4 percent by the end of the year, economists say, assuming monthly price pressures continue to firm.

On a monthly basis, prices rose for particular categories exposed to tariffs, such as furniture prices, which increased 0.9 percent. Tire prices were up 1 percent. Tomato prices, incluenced by tariffs on Mexican agricultural imports, were up 3.3 percent. Airfares rose 4 percent.

Become familiar with M2 money supply growth if you want to know what's fueling inflation. I expect this report sets the stage for a Fed rate cut in September which will add more fuel to the fire. In that regard I agree with you that inflation is going to head higher. What they're counting on is real GDP growth will outpace that increase. Will it?

With your business acumen you could be advising the real movers and shakers in the economy.

 

Yet you sit on a Buffalo Bills subforum trying to persuade Bills fans of something.

 

Interesting.
