US economy is growing quickly but flashing an inflation warning sign: Prices of goods we use every day are rising at their fastest pace in three years, with coffee up 8%, bread up 11% and gasoline up 22%

Measures of inflation - or the prices of goods and services that we all pay - are rising much more quickly than economic experts like to see
Many signs of inflation are already here - with the prices of groceries, household items, gas and electricity, for example, all surging over the last year
The average price of coffee is now up nearly 8% compared to last year, while the price of bread is up 11%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data
The prices of raw materials - such as steel, lumber and cotton - that are used to make everything have also been surging
Companies have already said they will be passing on the higher costs of those raw materials onto consumers

This is what happens when you print 60% of every dollar that’s ever existed in history in just the last 12 months.

The price of bacon is inversely proportional to the amount of other groceries to be purchased...

it is amazing that people don't understand the principle of scarcity and what "free" money on a massive scale really costs them in the longer run.

Yeah but as long as they keep giving us stimulus it’s a wash, right?

I really don’t think people have the vaguest idea of what is about to hit us
At any point, the dominoes could fall and it will all come crashing down making the Great Depression look like a walk in the park
The collapse is coming. We are seeing the early stages now.

People truly don’t care just as long as they keep getting free shite for sitting on theirs asses. The world could be burning around them and all they’ll do is keep checking the mailbox for a handout.

Why don’t you inform us? What’s about to hit us, specifically?

Stop being a lazy arse and read any history book or take an elementary economics class
Only a legitimately retarded person needs an explanation of what comes next.
