#1 You ain't seen nothing yet. Home heating oil doubles, gas doubles to something like 7 dollars a gallon and much higher in California of course. Natural gas and propane going up with electric. Now the prospect of outages looms ahead. Factories shut down. Currently flu is hitting my area very hard. Pink eye, sick outs. This is just the beginning of the season. Those vaxed sicker than most and I really believe they are spreaders.

#2 I have always said the day would come where it will cost $2500.00 a month to heat a house in the northern US. We're not there yet, but Bidet and crew have three more years.

#8 /\ Just remember, this is all "transitory"..... meaning we'll all be transiting away from eating ribeye steak soon.

#9 Fu-- these liars.

Powell, Yellen et al. KNOW this isn't "transitory."

I'll bet my next paycheck that these lying assholes are loading up now on every inflation-friendly stock they can get their hands on, beginning with $SBSW
