Insane inflation, unaffordable cars/food/rent for many, shortages across the board, labour shortages, supply line collapse, pandemic raging on. Is this the future or a passing phase? Did they go through this in 1918 with the Spanish Flu? Kinda depressing.

It's a passing phase. As long as people want to make money businesses will find a way. When they price the consumer out of the market then they will lower the price or increase workers wages. The pandemic and supply chain will eventually be problems that will be solved.

The effect on the US economy wasn't that bad. (Source: Economic Historian 1918-flu) In recent events, if you remember, the late 70s was a economic disaster and inflation hit %13.55. It took several years to ameliorate.

This will pass. Let’s hope when it does that the social experiment that got us here is also defeated. The power of the services who do not manage misinformation or say they do while not doing a single thing and people who promote misinformation to control through fear and anger must be dealt with. By the way, it’s not who is in power. It is those who want power.

With a global economy no single country or leader has a magical wand that can fix pandemic related supply disruptions.

Agreed with everything pretty much said here. I was just thinking about how the dark ages lasted 900 years and humanity saw very little advancement in that time.

It is kind of squishy depending on whose figures you use. The inflation rate formula has changed since the 70s and 80s. The CPI is one index, but a lot is now left out. The most common I've found is 6.2% for October 2021 (Source: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi). Personally, I think it is higher based on our household's normal shopping and expenses. It will probably jump this winter as heating bills are factored in to the equation.

It seems that most people just don't understand the dynamics of a global pandemic. Every factory, company, or service that slows or pauses production, causes a break in the supply chain and has ripple effects that raises prices globally. Personally, I don't see things leveling out until this global pandemic is under control.

This never-ending pandemic will sure look pretty silly if some real scary disease starts spreading. Not to get political, but you have to wonder at some of it and wonder how things would have been different if it wasn't a US election year. A lot of fuss over not very much. Imagine ebola spreading. That, I could see causing chaos. A semi-worse global flu though? When will we stop making excuses and justifying things, instead of just letting things get back to normal? It seems to me that the people who are dragging this out usually have something to gain in the process. I get fear of the unknown and being cautious, but now that we know it well, why are we still doing these things?

But were you alive and witnessed 1918 though? I'm glad you are noticing reality, things are happening for sure, Ive noticed it myself, incredible price hikes around the board just like you said. But how much of news today is essentially Chicken Little and how much is reality though? There are things you have witnessed in life and remember other times, and that is your honest interpretation of change. In connection to EVGA and their forum, I went looking for gpu prices the other day, haven't had a new gpu in years, its unreal imo that for a flagship gpu is 2 grand now, and well over 1K for even a modest gpu. Been many many years since I bought a gaming system, and I see those are basically half a grand now too. Chip shortage? Crypto miners?

The climbing infection rate that overruns our hospitals time and time again is what is dragging this out. There is nothing political about it.

Can't have been looking very hard then lol. Running out of ICU beds is one of the biggest concerns when those peaks hit, that is why you'll often here the term "flattening the curve" - it's all about maintaining an ability to treat all the serious cases rather than having to triage to decide who lives and who dies based on available beds. Most hospitals have managed so far, some more so than others, but there most definitely have been a number of deaths which have been a direct result of simply 'not enough room at the inn'.

Not right now, at least not in the US. Some parts of Europe are currently experiencing a peak higher than any prior for Covid. US seems to follow 2-3 months behind what happens in parts of Europe. I guess the US is lucky in a way for that advance notice, and can attempt additional preventative measures ahead of time. On the other hand, I read Japan is experiencing their lowest numbers since the pandemic began, and there's a theory that the Delta variant there has mutated itself to a point where it can't reproduce. I really hope that is true.

At least everyone should know what to do by now. It's best to be aware and assume that it's not just in South Africa since as we know the people who just tested positive contracted it about a week ago. The biggest concern is it is rumored to be resistant to the vaccine.

Basically this crap ends once we start telling those in power "no" to more of their preposterous demands. And if they persist, we take them OUT of power. Remember, the power is OURS. THEY are simply public servants.

Well all news stories about new variants will always include something to to the effect "may/could/possibly negate/mitigate/lessen the vaccine." It is the current news click bait. All viruses will mutate at some point as conditions change for their survival. Personal note: The last person I knew from SA, retired from their military, moved to Australia, and is enjoying life with the grand and great grand children.

I would no sooner trust the mainstream news than I would trust the sewer to get clean drinking water from. I certainly trust myself. I got -it- and got over -it- in three days by treating myself, like I have every other time I've been sick in the past 33 years. Don't care if anyone believes me or not. I certainly don't trust the big tech companies who delete any opposing viewpoint or opinion. Even ones from scientists around the world who've forgotten more about medicine than Fauci currently knows. Whatever happened to the days of healthy open debate?
