    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Goldman Sachs report says that the chance of recession is down to 15%.

      Should President Biden get credit for this? 555

      Honestly we need a recession. Or something that'll bring prices backdown. It's hard to imagine meals at McDonalds will never go back down... I still pull up thinking there is a dollar menu. The McDouble that was $1 a few years ago is now like $3.79.

        Nothing brings prices down. The best you can hope for is a slower rise.

            We don't actually want prices to come down. I'm not 100% sure why, but that's what clever people say. And by clever people, I mean of course economists. Clever, but not quite clever enough to do a proper science degree.

                                    So US inflation is at 3% and that's really bad, and China's is negative, and that's really bad too.

                                    What would be considered a good level?

                                        Case-in-point...At the beginning of Biden's term, the house note for a $400k home will now buy a $295k home...And homes are a bit more expensive than three years ago.

                                        That's inflation that people can relate to...

                                          So US inflation is at 3% and that's really bad, and China's is negative, and that's really bad too.

                                          What would be considered a good level?

                                          After 2 years of high inflation? We will need to see several years at 1-1.5%.

                                          At one time 3% would have been considered really low. It’s really more important that we don’t have big fluctuations in my fairly untutored opinion, and that wages keep pace?

                                          I was only joking
