Always look to either self-interest and/or personal (actual vs public) ideology when people behave in a manner that appears to be contrary to their expressed ‘principles’.

Not all, perhaps many of those Trump appointed and tolerated were not, in fact “business Republicans”. But to obtain Trump’s approval, they had to present themselves as ‘simpatico’ with Trump’s aims.

Except that business Republicans aren’t notable for wishing to inflate the currency (although Arthur Burns, the wretchedly incompetent Fed chairman of the 1970s, was out of the business Republican stable).

No evidence needed, the accusation itself is the proof.

Thought crimes are next.

Irredeemables must be identified and examples made of them.

The Gulags await.

Hyperbole?

A warning to citizens of Ontario and Canada: Bill 67, which purports to be nothing but an “anti-racist” bill, is in fact the most pernicious and dangerous piece of legislation that any Canadian government has attempted to put forward.

I’m working up a Bingo Card that has a square for each of the things none of us had on ours since 2015.

Inflation is both a monetary phenomenon and potentially a supply and demand phenomenon.

Reduced supply with same demand = inflation.

“As to why the Trump appointees who make up the majority of the Board are behaving this way I have yet to hear an explanation.”

Trump famously appointed lots of people who turned out to be less sharing of Trump’s POV than they’d led him to believe. Uniparty operatives?

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. You can have all manner of flux in particular markets without a general increase in the price level.

As to why the Trump appointees who make up the majority of the Board are behaving this way I have yet to hear an explanation.
