Inflation.......... ?

U.S. dollar is now so diluted, it's going to be hyper inflation like nothing seen in the past.
We'll be raising our products prices 15%+ in a month or two. No way around to avoid price increases.
Stock market going up in this situation is a clear indication how much U.S. dollar is fucked up...

That is not quite true, we have seen it in the past.

It will not be long before we see bills in this range with US presidents on them.

Oddly enough the bills are worth more now they they ever have been.

Inflation is no longer Americans' No. 1 concern. Nowadays, it's the price of health care that's making Americans sweat.
Health care costs are the top concern among middle-income American households for the first time since 2021, outpacing inflation, according to a national survey from financial service provider Primerica. While more than half of survey respondents said that they remain pessimistic about the economy as a whole, 20% expressed being "slightly more optimistic" about their personal finances compared with just 15% of respondents in the previous quarter.

More Americans now worried about health care than inflation

Majority of respondents remain pessimistic about the economy as a whole, according to Primerica survey.

At its latest meeting, the Federal Reserve announced another 25 basis point interest rate increase and put to rest speculation about whether the storm brewing in the U.S. banking sector would cause the central bank to ease up on its monetary policy.



The rate hike brings the federal funds rate to a targeted range of 4.75% to 5%, the highest level in 15 years.

The impact of recent bank failures on the economy and consumer spending will likely determine how the Fed will proceed at future meetings.


"Since our previous FOMC meeting, economic indicators have generally come in stronger than expected, demonstrating greater momentum in economic activity and inflation," Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told reporters at a press conference. "We believe, however, that events in the banking system over the past two weeks are likely to result in tighter credit conditions for households and businesses, which would, in turn, affect economic outcomes."


Until the impact is known, Powell said that the Fed might proceed with a further rate increase to reduce inflation.

"We no longer state that we anticipate that ongoing rate increases will be appropriate to quell inflation," Powell continued.

The Fed's restrictive monetary policy has been cited as a key culprit behind the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank.

Many in the market had predicted that the Fed would raise rates by 25 basis points to show its resolve to reach a 2% inflation target rate. Any less would have signaled that the Fed was more focused on its role as the banker's bank, according to Dana Grigg, Founder of Camelotta Advisors.


"The Fed is trapped in a quandary between their ability to raise interest rates, given the banking situation, and their credibility at fighting inflation," Grigg said.

Fed forges ahead with 25 basis point interest rate increase, signaling resolve to battle inflation

I am experiencing some "changes", first hand. I have a few projects going and recently have inquired to suppliers in different industries about a specific item.
Here are the replies:
Give me a call and let's see if that is really what you want.
The item you want is 24 weeks out but I have an "equal or better" on the shelf for a little more $$$.
I don't have it here but you pay me and XYZ will drop ship it to you. No mention if XYZ has it on the shelf.
Why in the world would you want that one ?
Since you are not a "regular" I have to put you behind my regulars.

I said this would occur, several times. Increases in wages represents an increase in input costs, which are piled onto the other input cost increases that are coming from inflation and increases in interest rates. You give the best workers raises to keep them, get rid of the laggards, and thereby increase the work on those that stay or hire newbs that you have to train. Its a vicious cycle, and there is some of this that is dependent upon what the labor market will bear at the low end of salaries for each specific job. It only stops when the consumer stops paying the increased prices and that reduction in demand flows down through the supply chain. This will occur once the credit is maxed out at a micro and macro level. But then when that demand drops, there is a lag in cost reductions for a business, so when it occurs the quickest way to try to save the company is more layoffs to reduce immediate input costs. But it is the debt that will kill a business - for many it is a constant cost that cannot really be reduced, especially with interest rates going up because there is no option really left to refinance at a lower rate.

Business models will have to change to be able to survive this environment. Unfortunately, this means workers will have to adjust as well as this goes forward.

A lot of the price spreads are regional. Cost of transportation of a cheap toy tractor purchase, in some cases, results in a buyer paying as much to transport as the selling price of the tractor. Freight prices are still on the increase. It's all the little "extra" fees that are being added on. Come carriers are charging $35 to do a weight "verification" on some over length crates. The drop off fees from "residential" to "commercial" have skyrocketed. Old, vintage pickup trucks and parts are the same way. A vintage Arizona truck or parts can't be transported East of the Mississippi due to the shipping cost. No different with food, produce, fuel and building materials.
