All of which are going to get a lot more expensive, too. We all swim in the same pool here.
- ecommerceguy 2y agoI don't see that happening. As a matter of fact, I see staples such as flour going down in price. That is a stated goal of the administration. As of the time of this writing WTI is down nearly 7%. Expected, goal seeked and by design.

But again you’re missing all of the second-order effects, like people losing their jobs in the resulting contraction of demand. You have a wildly simplistic view of the economy that ignores all of the well-understood second order effects that are inconvenient to your argument.
