Best investment strategy for cash during a period of inflation? Certainly if the rates go up then savings accounts (and CDs, bonds, etc) all would be more attractive than the current 0.05% rates out there.

Yeah, but what you get, still won't keep up with inflation.

I think that the US should get rid of the one dollar bill. I know that they have tried to promote the USD$1 coin, but unless you give more of an incentive, it will not work.

Psaki actually had the (pardon the expression) balls to blame the surge in gas prices on the Ukrainian situation.

That's a great clown pic.

I agree. If the US is going to promote a USD $1 coin, they need to stop printing the USD $1 paper money.

In Europe, I think the smallest bill is about USD $5. In Taiwan, it is about $3 USD.

(One country that keeps really small denomination bills is India. And they keep them for a long long time. The money can be quite tattered and dirty and still in use)

Certainly that’s true of the rather significant jump in the last week

[George K]

@jon-nyc fair enough. A 60¢ rise in the last weeks.

But that's still only ¼ the rise over the last 15 months.

Seems like it was only two weeks ago that she was blaming the Ukraine shit for inflation.
