Companies fighting for workers is absolutely fantastic for workers, and that's why the owner class wants to come up with way to put a stop to it.

Companies fighting for workers is good, companies fighting for workers because govt policy drove labor force participation into the ground and all the free money is causing massive inflation which more than eats up the salary gains is not so good.

Unless you are job hopping constantly or in a really unnique situation you aren't getting the 15% inflation raise per year you need to stay flat in purchasing power right now.

Mist can't handle nuanced arguments.

The difference between a 3% and 8% interest rate is staggering. He doubled his money!

That's an astronomical number.

Is Burry still a retard for suggesting we've got a lot further down to go?
Depends. That isnt an official number. Wait until they release the official number and its +0.1% and resets the recession counter.

When has the Fed ever underpromised and overdelivered? They've done the opposite since Biden stepped into the Whitehouse.

The most those things ever get adjusted is like 0.2-0.3%. At -2.1%, there's no way it gets even remotely close to positive.

And why would it? I ask every week, what's gotten better in Q2? Even oil, which is down, is still up from where it was at the start of Q2.
