it s the opposite of what you were doing back then. no, this is a we re pretending a balanced view. we re recognizing we understand 9.6% inflation in the 38 countries of the oecd. we understand the fact that neil: you re not breaking about 9.1% in the country, are you, by comparison? we re doing better, you re not saying that? no. that s what you re saying. i m not saying that. neil: you said you re comparing to it 9.6%. i m just explaining a factual number, what the oecd says. what was neil: 9.1% you acknowledge is awful, right? what i was going to say was that the fact that the fact it s a global phenomenon is of little comfort to an american going to the grocery store who feels squeezed. we understand that. we re not me gaiting that. we re very happy that these

that doesn t seem to be going away anytime soon? you know, i don t want to state the obvious here but aside from cutting expenses and investing in high yield i-bonds which are currently generating 9.6%, the number one thing people can do is try to increase their earnings power either by asking for a raise or getting back into the labor market. and while this might seem obvious two-thirds of employees don t ask for a raise on any begin year. and when you do ask for a raise the likelihood of getting one is roughly 70%. and so even if you re at a place where you ve already tried to ask for a raise, maybe you ve gotten denied for whatever reason, we re in one of the tightest labor markets we ve ever seen where there s two job openings for every one single person looking for a job. now is the time to brush off that resume, go back into the labor market and see what you can get. that s a great point.
