If anyone thinks inflation is bad now, wait until Iran is a nuclear power.

This war is geologically damaging future oil production capacity by 20-30% across the entire Gulf region. We are drawing down our reserves too and gas prices won’t come back quickly either due to refinery capacity.

Let’s get it over with.

Stop buying things that aren’t essential. Welfare losers seem to be attracted to “snacks” and “sodas”. Worry about why you choose to be a loser.

Record low consumer sentiment.

30yr bond over 5.1%.

Oil hovering around $100.

Stock Markets hitting record highs.

It just does not add up.

Actually, in the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed the price of beef dropping. But overall, my grocery bill is nearly double, a finding that started during Biden’s administration. With the price of diesel being so high, I don’t see it decreasing any time soon. Add to that the fact that here in Oklahoma, one grocery corporation has a near monopoly, it doesn’t look good. Their outrageous pricing gives Walmart a reason to boost their prices to just a few pennies less than theirs.

UM started this index in 1952. This is the lowest level of confidence in the economy ever recorded.

Consumer sentiment is now even lower than during COVID or the Great Recession.
