WTF are you even talking about? The topic is about domestic inflation of the USD, did you miss that point or are you purposely trying to deflect away from it?

I think its a conspiracy. Store buyers forcing name products at higher prices.

Get a 40 dollar Bidet and wipe your toilet paper problems away.

Can’t stand the one ply where your finger rips through it, giving yourself a prostate exam.

Can’t believe there are people that still don’t use the bidets…especially with the price of TP. Also, no more clogs and cleaner booty.

Why would this dollar fair better than the Euro, especially back when the EU was incredibly strong? The Euro never came close to overtaking the USD.
You expect a bunch of countries who are not aligned, are often in conflict, with shite economies, to produce a currency that out-performs the Euro exponentially? How?

There's a lot of talking shite in this thread.

The reason the USD has remained so strong is because our inflation and economic malaise hasn't been as bad as other countries/currencies, post-Covid
People on this board have an apocalypse fetish and a desire for things here to collapse (while promoting crazy shite that is irrational like BRICS replacing us
). Covid fricked everyone up, but we came out comparatively better than pretty much anyone else. People interpret this, stupidly, as proclaiming there are no issues with the US economy or government, which is silly. They are just hyper-fixated on the US failing because their team lost in 2020 and they've been on a 4-year nuclear-level melt since.

What if they had just restocked that good charmin because they knew your soft arse was coming and they were about to restock the cheap stuff but couldn't before you ran to your minivan to start melting about it on here?

Yea you should know that’s not how it works - stockers don’t work in the day time silly, they work at night time when there aren’t customers in the store
Yea, Kroger and Walmart must have called each other and said “hey let’s both stock up the expensive stuff at the exact same time”
Keep reaching for the sky though for excuses

Wait. How is BRICS replacing the dollar 'irrational and crazy'?
It's why they did it. The economies on board are larger than ours when combined and we are past due for a new reserve currency. It's not like this hasn't happened multiple times in history. And it's happening right now. We could have done something about it at one point but infinite deficits require massive inflation if you ever want to pay it down.
Not exactly a selling feature for using the Dollar if you have options.

We put the Charmin in the master bath and the cheap stuff in the other.

He has no fricking clue. The average American is getting royally fricked.
I used to take him at his word he was really smart. Now I realize hes just autistic and socially weird. He wrongly fights on the opposite side when he's clearly not understanding the conversation.
He doesnt understand cause/effect, so he uses a lot of pop buzzwords.

I noticed a long line building up at the food bank. I hadnt seen it for a while so thought maybe things were getting better, then i realized their tax money prob ran out so they are back at the food banks.

The signs of a recession are showing up in layoffs and retail store closings but they are not showing up in unemployment numbers yet. Why? I suspect two reasons:
1. Unemployment numbers are lagging.
2. People getting laid off are picking up other parttime jobs, like Uber, Uber Eats, etc. They are underemployed and not showing up in the official government statistics.
Despite government statistics most people can "feel" that the economy is not doing well. Sure it's doing well for Wall Street and the people close to the Money Printers (Federal Reserve) but it is not doing well for the rest of us.
So what metric can we use to illustrate the fact that the easy money printing is not reaching the masses? Velocity of money.
The velocity of money has dropped off the cliff:

Note M1 money supply is very liquid. M2 money supply is less liquid and includes retirement accounts, CDs, etc. referred to as "near money".
M1 is more of a "feel" for the economy than M2.

What Is the Velocity of Money?
The velocity of money is a measurement of the rate at which money is exchanged in an economy. It is the number of times that money moves from one entity to another. The velocity of money also refers to how much a unit of currency is used in a given period of time. Simply put, it's the rate at which consumers and businesses in an economy collectively spend money.
The velocity of money is usually measured as a ratio of gross domestic product (GDP) to a country's M1 or M2 money supply. The word velocity is used here to reference the speed at which money changes hands.

The BRICS have already agreed to settle trade in gold backed currency. These countries can print all they want within their own countries but between counties trade has to be settle in currency backed by gold.

They're creating jobs by pushing money into the system at full employment.
These are uber low paying jobs Americans will not work. Its an immigrants country going forward.
Stuffing the economy with money at 4% unemployment leads to massive inflation, we're creating unnecessary jobs.
