Just heard an interesting stat last week.

 

Apparently there are 60,000 jobs available for truck drivers.

 

That's right. Demand for truck deliveries and truck drivers is 60,000 employees short. 

 

We've waited 5 months for a bathroom fixture, and I think they're lying about the delivery time for our new dishwasher.

Yeah, some of the delivery dates I have seen have been insane!

Thats fine. I’m not usually concerned much about inflation. And I haven’t seen it trotted out as any kind of boogeyman. But I have been in my line of work for about 35 years and I’ve never seen such rapid and extreme  increases in so many things. Maybe its just anecdotal but it sure seems like something economically unpleasant is afoot.

Yeah, we're also at the tail end of a once in the last century pandemic that has dramtically effected the economy, so it's not a big surprise that there's some economic uncertainty and supply/demand mismatches.

BTW how old are you? I’m 58 and I haven’t heard jack squat about any coming inflation. Although I do remember some s#!t that happened in the 70s and 80s. I remember 18%+ mortgages...

I'm 46, and literally every time there's a move to spend government money there's a swath of pearl-clutching about national debt. And why is the national debt bad? Apparently it's going to lead to inflation.

At some point the debt service amount of the yearly budget will become a giant issue.  Unless you are gonna be content with the US treasury defaults saying FU what are you gonna to do about it to the TBILL holders.

I think people need to realize that the national debt is sort of like the first credit card we all had...we ran up 300 dollars and had no intention of ever paying it off.

Good question.  Why don’t you impart some of your economic wisdom on all of us.

Pearls are out of style by the way.  Keep up with the present day please

You seem to be oddly defensive about the possibility of higher than usual inflation. To be clear I’m not claiming proposed government spending will be the cause. I’ve simply stated what Ive seen in my line of business and that it does not seem to be solely the result of pandemic recovery and also seems like its going to get worse and last longer than the short term. But whatever, I guess I don’t need to convince you. We’ll both see what actually happens soon enough.

Yes.  I've seen the same thing.
