They spent an entire decade trying to figure out how to stop inflation

It didn't take them time to figure out. They played hot-potato with a bubble market, and each successive administration didn't want to be responsible for recession.

the more things change the more they stay the same

Best thread on this shit board right now
I have $100k in dry powder. What do I do as far as shorting strategies, and then what do I buy at the bottom?

You are assuming they won't just choose to hyperinflate. Not investing has its own risks.

Greed is insatiable op. That being said Rand Paul bringing up returning the Gold Standard brings some light in this tunnel. We desperately need to peg our dollar to something other than cartel methods of intimidation.

Inflation is more than just money printing you idiot.

really? how?

You have to make the money bigger by pumping something into (air, milk, cottage cheese) before releasing it on the open market

They won't

Elites still got bags of cash, bottom is not in.

They wanted inflation to save them from their crippling sovereign debt. This is also the same reason why they will refuse to fix inflation by raising interest rates to 10%

hold cash or commodities

There is usually a deflation before the hyperinflation. The deflation triggers the hyperinflation as the central banks panic print into oblivion.

This. The Government, and by extension the Feds, want to inflate away the sovereign debt but they've managed to provoke an affordability bubble crisis across the entire country. They've backed themselves into a corner and only have two choices:
>Crash the economy, risk defaulting and a possible depression
>Keep inflating and pray that you don't accidentally hyperinflate the economy.

The reason why it got this bad is because everyone in charge is a greedy fucking asshole who doesn't want to stop playing. If they step away from the table, then someone else is gonna get the money. It's a zero-sum game for them, and they're playing with all of our futures as leveraged bets.

interest rates at 10% will result in countless bankrupcies and massive unemployment. It doesn't solve anything. If anything it would just result in more money printing when the government is forced to increase defecits and do more hellicopter money to help recent laid offs.

Why do you think what they're doing isn't entirely intentional?

>thinking this current print wasn't in the cards
Ever heard of the boomer pension crisis? No? Then look it up and then you'll quickly realize that covid was an escape rouite to print trillions to stem of a systemic collapse. That I argue will happen anyway. Millennials and Zoomers make up half HALF of the planet as of right now. Good luck with the economy...

>boomer pension crisis
give me a rundown
