Please post again when you have the time.

As a Buckeye midwesterner, I look askance at MeatChicken in general, of course.

But seriously guys in that state up north, WTF? Wretched Whitmer? Debbie StabHerNow? What gives? You’re not all that different than normal America, how do you end up with these turkeys time and again?

“The Inflation Crisis Is Worse Than Admitted – Will Interest Rates Go To Record Highs?”—

Key grafs (RTWT):
“…It’s important to understand that CPI today is NOT an accurate reflection of true inflation overall, and this is because the methods used by the Fed and other institutions to calculate inflation changed after the 1970s event. Not surprisingly, CPI was adjusted to show a diminished inflation threat….
“Today, the official CPI print from the Fed came in much hotter than expected at 8.6%. For market investors hoping for a lower print and more Fed stimulus, the dream is dead, or it should be treated as such. There is very little chance that the central bankers will reverse course in the midst of the largest inflationary crisis since the 1970s. What they aren’t telling you, though, is that REAL inflation is much worse that what the CPI shows us.
“By the 1990s the Fed and the government had effectively upended the traditional calculation methods for inflation and, ever since, the CPI has been subdued. If we look at numbers from Shadowstats, which uses the same calculation methods that were used in the 1980s, we can see that CPI is actually closer to 17%…. The 1970’s crisis peaked at around 14.5%….
“…The difference between the 1970’s crisis and today’s crisis is that we are facing far worse conditions. Our crisis started around 2008 after the credit bubble collapse, which facilitated an endless stream of bailouts and stimulus packages. The Federal Reserve has printed or created tens of trillions of dollars over the course of the past 14 years.
“The official US national debt has tripled in that time. In 2020 alone, the Fed created over $6 trillion from thin air and injected it directly into the economy through covid relief checks and PPP loans. Unemployment is low, for now, but this is a fleeting condition created by covid stimulus. Joblessness will likely skyrocket over the next year now that covid checks are spent and the average consumer has maxed out their credit cards….”

And here’s a curious one from the NY Post, which seems to have decided to challenge The Bee on its own ground:
“Latest inflation spike shows Biden, Fed boss are failing to prevent recession: experts”—

“…failing to prevent recession…”?? Heh….

This “open primary” business is absolutely bonkers.

How did this madness EVER get off the ground??

Can I get that on a t-shirt?
Or maybe a hat: Make America Cynical Again.

Conservatives are, I think, psychologically predisposed to believe well of others, take them at their word, give second chances, and so forth.

That has to end – but without sliding down into the abyss of evil that the LIV Democrats have been lured into by the activist Left.

Sarah Hoyt’s last three posts have been “battle cries” that should be heeded.

We will never recover our country until people of moral character are willing to acknowledge this blatantly obvious truth.

Sounds like you’re doing a lot of good work there.
