I work from home, and I’ve got plenty of free time. Might as well take another one. It’s a big trend that’s showing up on employment statistics.
It’s not fair to people still working in offices/in person, but I’m not getting run over by inflation anymore.

Re: Supply Chain Shortages and Inflation
Interest rates going up is a good thing, they have been far too low for far too long because our leaders forgot that after lowering interest rates in bad times you are supposed to raise them in good times. This kind of corrective action will cause some short term harm, but it should result in a healthier economy. Of course, that is all assuming our leaders are learning the right lesson, which is doubtful.

Re: Supply Chain Shortages and Inflation
All true, but our real problem has been the insane money printing. Now that they’ve normalized that, interest rates are less relevant.TheOneX wrote: Fri Jul 15, 2022 7:32 am Interest rates going up is a good thing, they have been far too low for far too long because our leaders forgot that after lowering interest rates in bad times you are supposed to raise them in good times.
