THIS POST IS BOTH EDUCATIONAL AND QUITE DISTURBING. Most of the predictions are unpleasant and quite unhappy as well. While I would be able to live by my wits and selling my skill sets, I am an age where that would not be fun. And watching things fall apart is never fun, even when it is enemy forces doing it. The disturbing part is that the evidence presented is certainly believable.
It always seems that when the government taxes everybody, somehow the very rich wind up not being taxed so much. And really, redistribution of wealth has such a socialist aroma that it does not seem reasonable. Some of us are able and willing to produce services and goods that we do get compensated for, even almost adequately. But some do not seem to be willing or able to produce, but they have the unions to support their wants. The one big problem seems to be the inordinate incomes of some folks. Perhaps a HUGE tax on the organizations that overpay the very top folks, so that there would be more available to pay those actually doing the work. A very radical concept, I admit.
OK, then. It must be that inflation is the secondary effect of those other actions. Anticipating secondary effects of actions has been a part of my valued deliveries to clients for quite a while. And Ayn Rand was fine as a fiction novelist, but definitely not a person to be taken seriously otherwise. Entertainment should not be confused with reality.
The motivations for delaying implementation of those new rules. The effect of the new rules was clear, bringing up a question about the actual motivation of the new rules. Was it for reduced emissions or was it for increased refiner profits??
Certainly it would raise the cost of borrowed money, and probably force a lot of people to consider more carefully just exactly what they were going to do. But not all of us run on borrowed money, some actually put part of our profits back into the business. A 10% interest rate would not damage my organization at all.
Sort of like cancer, iisn't it? Inflation primarily benefits the very wealthy. And I have never heard any explanation of how inflation actually benefits anybody. A believable explanation of the mechanism by which inflation provides any real benefit would certainly be an interesting thing to read, wouldn't it?
Perhaps it would have been much wiser to have left the oil i the shale for now, instead of trying to come up with more to sell at the higher prices. Sometimes short sighted thinking leads to short sighted actions that ultimately lead to long term disasters. Not emergencies, that are past the next day, but real disasters that are just as unhappy a month later, and will leave scars that last forever. But of course, dumb moves will do that sort of thng, won't they??
We need more deflationary pressures applied, and so this is sort of good news. But if the market ever started making the buy/sell decisions based on facts instead of fears, it might be in better shape. How do the poor fools chained to every possible fear ever hope to succeed???
Perhaps we need some more deflationary actions, so that things other than the wealth of the very rich can increase. I regard inflation as a cancer of the economy.
