“The index for final demand goods moved up 2.8 percent in May, the largest increase since data were first calculated in December 2009.”

Granted, that’s a slice of an index. But it promotes a pattern: we’re heading into a place similar to 2022. Then, because of money printing (at the time blamed on supply-chain disruptions). This time, because of money printing amidst an engineered supply-chain disruption.

The takeaway is we’ve had a string of shit-for-brain Presidents since Obama.
