Could we possibly see official inflation top 10% over the coming months? Robert Wenzel seems to think so. (The official rate of inflation has already jumped from 1.7% to 2.6% just recently).
A quick look at ShadowStats reveals a rather dark state of affairs with “real” inflation (based on the pre-1990 official methodology) already topping
6% and rising fast.
According to Dr. Michael Busler, a finance professor at Stockton University, the economy is set to “take off,” thanks in part to some state governors who finally opened their economies back up.
But
any economic recovery that does happen could be reduced to a mirage thanks to rising inflation. Even Dr. Busler says that’s a problem, hinting at the possibility of stagflation in the near future:

I.worked on this story for a year.and.he just.he tweeted it out.
This is how your author felt when last night s broadcast began with the announcers relaying Steve Pikiell s take on the game, which was we re going to jack up a bunch of heavily contested off-the-dribble twos and see how it goes. The announcers said it a little differently, leaving out the heavily contested jacks so they could euphemistically refer to this behavior as shooting in the midrange.

There s Franz Wagner midrange where he s using his crazy gumby arms to get up layups from outside the paint, and there s Rutgers midrange that comes from just inside the three-point line with several angry gnomes climbing all over the shooter. When those latter go down at the rate they did in the first ten minutes of the game there s a lot of heavy sighing and maybe the occa
