Well, once everyone has spent their wad of funny fed gov't stimulus money, the American consumer might slow down the wants vs. needs buying. But, we are talking about the addicted American consumer here. So, it would take tens of millions of addicts to ween themselves off of Amazon and whatever en vogue online retailer du jour that they are buying from. Or at least exercise portion control with their purchasing habits.
But that's what it will take for deflation to kick in. A slack in demand caused by a pull back in consumer spending.
It could happen. Just need the right circumstances to kick in."We don't beat the reaper by living longer, we beat the reaper by living well and living fully." - Randy Pausch

Correct, we will need a government with the balls to tax these purchases HEAVILY. Crash the markets so they can acquire even more on the cheap is a standard practice rinse and repeat. Meanwhile the rest of us watch 30 years of savings and investments evaporate. I'm talking a financial Armageddon that even bankrupts the wealthiest of the wealthy or results in a reckoning their money can't shield them from.. read between those lines Marie Antionette..
Creating division (including among law enforcement and the military) and allowing the peasants to heavily arm themselves is a formula that very well could come back to bite them in the ass hard..Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. Seems like we're between 3 and 4.

JPMorgan's Great Resignation ‘21 Guesstimate:
- 35% financial cushion with unemployment benefits, stimulus, savings
- 20% early retirees
- 10% immigration and visa issues
- 10% rise in self-employment
- 25% "other": COVID fears, child care constraints

Well I just joined the group. Resignation just went in. So that makes both my wife and I part of it in the last 3 months.
Took a pay cut to go work for a very cool org. Stoked.

Whelp, my corporate overlords have bowed to the federal government overlords and thrown down the "EVERYBODY" gauntlet. I'd already uploaded my vax info to the WorkDay HR portal. They are estimating based on employee surveys that 90%+ of US based employees are fully vaxxed already. It will be interesting to see who drops off the corporate grid. Up until now it was just required to set foot on company property. Since Uncle Sam is our biggest customer by a longshot we all knew it was coming...

Yeah, the laws of income and spending aren't the same as yours or my monthly budget when you're dealing with trillions of dollars, let alone trillions of dollars backed by a super low interest security that may be the very foundation of the global economy (the US Treasury Bond).
It's very naive to pretend they're in any way similar.

Or they just don't realize most people don't pay cash for their houses or cars. Or, they don't think anyone ever refinances anything.. Even with a small business, the leveraging gets bigger, not smaller the more successful and thriving the business becomes and is growing..

OSHA regulations should come out soon. My guess is employers will have until Jan 2022 to comply.

well Ronny likes bartending and she is probably now slinging beer at the best place in town TO sling beer so in her mind she has moved up .
its also pretty easy for people to get a camp job up here on major projects but apparently they can't find workers either skilled or not, even the drug dealer from the bar got himself vaxed & has found himself a good camp gig
big question is who & where are the people that left the work force ?
I've also seen an artical that some 65+ retired folks are short of $$$$$ and having to come back to workLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know
