Phat has been farting about inflation for a while now.
Economists used to say that any unemployment rate under 5% spelled inflation.
It is about 1% in my city of 300,000 people.
And there is, indeed, inflation.
Why is Phat, now, refusing to phart out loud?
Because Phat is no longer an administrator and cannot reply to you on a topic that has not been promoted. Moose has the call on this, so take it up with him.
For the record, consensus on inflation is far from settled. The government is addressing it with the Feds bag of tools and tricks, but the jury is out on what territory the US and Global economies now are in. What we really need to do with you is give you one thread (perhaps in Free For All) and let you blather on about each new topic that springs up in your head. We can call it LNAs Musings. Your topic would of course have to be approved and I no longer can do that.

“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
