Inflation

They can't, they've wasted the last 14 years spending like a drunk, a lot of it on things not really needed by the man on the street, splurges they could well do without.

This is what happens when you've careerists and dreamers at the top.

I suppose they know more than anyone about supply and demand's effects on future prices.

Meanwhile another boomerang get's launched

we dont know, nobody knows, its actually impossible to accurately know whats gonna happen, but im fairly sure the average child can now see that most sme's are in serious trouble, if appropriate protections are not put in place right now, and the government doesnt seem to be figuring this one out! its always important to remember, the majority of the workforce is employed by these sme's, so if these measures are not implemented now,......

again, its impossible to know exactly whats gonna happen, but in the short term, its not looking good, its gonna take a couple of years to resolve the main causations of our inflation issues, i.e. supply chains and energy markets, but our governments and our main institutions seem to be stuck, unable to see the woods from trees, its scary stuff really!

Worst case, if you keep your job, no restaurants, pubs, holidays, paid for tv channels, cigarettes, alcohol, soft drinks, take away coffees, junk food, expensive clothes, unnecessary car trips, gyms, etc, etc. The average person spends vast amounts of money on things they can live without.

It is the very lowly paid and those who will lose their jobs that will suffer.

Just throwing this out there.

The last couple of decades we've had booms, busts, 9/11, terror, flooding of Europe with millions of refugees, brexit, covid, possible WW3 etc etc and now this.

Is there ever a time when things are just gonna be boringly normal? Maybe not.

Maybe the majority of us will get through 'this' and eventually move on to the next threat to mankind.

The sun will always rise and set each day regardless ( maybe not in Ireland though 🤔 ).

Thanks

True but each massive boom has been followed by small busts. There are heavy consequences to that which will happen sometime. Maybe not this time but each time the bust doesn’t match the boom the real bust coming down the line gets bigger.

say wha! with potentially the fastest rate of rising wealth inequality in human history! productive, in what way, in regards the rising value of assets, but in terms of the life of the average person, life hasnt been going too well, with low rates of wage inflation, stagnant for many, and a significant rise in the precariousness of general life, including working conditions. yea, its been amazing!

...but what about those that are currently struggling to get things over the line, struggling to pay rent and mortgages etc etc, we re not all the same!
