What an informative post. Thank-you. I agree. We're in totally uncharted territory. Even though prices are skyrocketing, people seem to be printing their own money at home. The stores, resorts, airports, and highways are full, just like pre-2020.
Yea, and that scares me because........it means that its all going onto the credit cards in a rising interest rate environment. As I think about it, the picture I see coming is one where people vacation in June and then get fuel sticker shock on their credit cards. Then they are at home in July and get sticker shock on their electric bill in August. The typical consumer will be maxed out on those cards right about November and barely able to tread water and then in December? The layoffs start. In fact, the layoffs are already starting.

Home prices in the are are dropping close to 12% on the high end and 5% on the low end. Just in the last few days. But nothing is selling.

This wouldn't be happening if the Democrats hadn't successfully stolen the 2020 election for Joe Biden and his team of misfits.

That's right. So Proud of the steal and results. Get ready for some devastating Legislation coming from Congress for the year. Legislation so devastating it'll cripple millions of People. The FED is already hot on the preliminary interest rate hikes. ππ§

The great pretending continues in order to protect the Federal Reserve from sunlight upon them. Central banks (U.S. Fed Reserve included) are raising interest rates into a recession, which is specifically against their legislative mandate.
Therefore, in order to protect the bankers, the pundits and politicians must deny a recession exists.
Pundit Steve Liesman spins the data, says we need to wait longer, and circles the wagons to protect the policy makers, specifically the White House.
Mohamed El-Erian tries to split the baby (02:00 video); while not admitting directly that the economy is in a recession, he states the βeconomy is weakening much faster than expected.β
