| #7 you can notice that the cost inflation was much higher than wage growth in the 75 and 80 period also that in the Trump years 2018-2020 wage growth was significantly higher |

| #6 Inflation is rising faster than wages. The only people "doing really well" in this economy are the usual suspect lamprey types. |

| #5 That was actually one of the lines, something like, "The reason the shelves are empty and the prices are up is because the economy is doing so well people are buying, buying, and buying." Went to a Big Sandwich store the other day, the one which used to sell you a lot of sandwich for $5, did double meat and cheese, $12, and only had as much meat and cheese as normal back in the $ day. Only customer, walk in, dude repeated my request to me and the cashier, and wasn't a dullard, so distracted/forgot to double up is very unlikely. My take, they did all the shrinkflation they could absorb and still make a sandwich with a straight face, and the price is up about 20% from the last time I ate there. |

| #2 This is why we need wage and price controls, before the price of gas AND the minimum wage go to infinity. Maybe they will work this time. Unlike all the other times when they just *bleep*ed up the economy even more. But we have to do *something*, right? |
