    As for the Fed, the money supply grew faster than money demand starting in early 2021. Add that to supply-chain problems and you have a classic inflationary recipe: too much purchasing power chasing too few goods.

    Thomas Sowell—a model for the salutary public role of the economist—warned against putting "decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

    Not to mention minimum wage going up...
    and when minimum wage goes up it means one of two things:
    A) more people are working at minimum wage
    B) Those who were above minimum wage - will be given raises.

    Despite what liberals say - when wages go up - it means one of two things
    A) The company must eat the increase
    B) The company must raise the prices

    If the companies raises the prices - then the employee minimum wage employee
    is right back where they were!

    One other thing - when a company gives -say a $1 dollar pay raise for a full time employee
    the weekly increase for the company is NOT $40 - but more like $50!

    IT is an endless cycle!

    Or it raises unemployment because the ability to pay at the MW is impossible.

    Which also means that the remaining employees must pick up the extra slack.....

    For every action - there is a re-action
