with the hot PPI report this morning, the Fed will evade its responsibility to raise interest rates and allow high inflation to become firmly ingrained for generations - K shaped economy forever, enjoy

price stability is now an abstract term

when mortgage interest rates reach 8-15% like they did in the 70s last energy crisis, it will be caused in large part by the irresponsible Trump toadies in the Fed

If the Fed were interested in taming inflation, they would have jacked rates up to 10+% years ago

of course a person with money that declines in value is still ultimately better off than a debtor whose debt declines in value. that doesn't change the fact that the asset holder is worse off after inflation and the debt holder is better off.

we're only talking about one asset: money. inflation is devluation of currency relative to other assets.

of course it goes without saying that if you hold assets that appreciate relative to money you're better off.

i'm not complaining about shit i'm just criticizing your statement that says nothing whatsoever.

it's always the case that at the margin the negative consequences of some economic shock are more harmful to the poor. if prices rise poors will feel the pain of that more sharply, esp if you focus only on prices and ignore debt/savings/any wage effects. they will also feel the pain of deflation because it causes unemployment and increases the real debt burden. they also feel the pain of falling stocks because they have a smaller savings cushion and puts them in a tighter bind even if they have less savings to lose. they also “feel the pain” of rising stocks because the rich get richer and the corresponding increase in the price level is proportionally more harmful to them without the same increase in wealth.

literally no matter what happens you can say “this is bad for poors” by focusing only on the negative side of the ledger because in all cases poors are worse off than the rich anyways + diminishing marginal value of wealth. it's just retarded to try to make any specific economic argument about any of this, you’re better off just by leaving it at "poors are fucked" and it’d be both more accurate and more rhetorically effective because you’re not making an idiot of yourself by saying dumb shit like "inflation only hurts the middle class and poor-- let the affluent go in peace," which is just gay resentment.

the real reason inflation is the killer of economies is not because it effects the poor it's because it destroys the middle class / upper middle class that actually contribute something to society but get what little savings they have wiped out. poors are fucked anyways.

If Yellen wasn’t a coward when Trump initially ran for president in late 2015 and kept hiking I think things would have been very different. She could have raised 1-200 basis points instead of stopping for years after one hike.
