Does anybody think Inflation would be different if Don the Con succeeded in stealing the election and why?

How does the recent death toll among the elderly population affect transfer of wealth in the economy right now? A distant in-law recently died and all of the nephews and nieces are flush, out buying vehicles, gifts, partying like mad
folk, etc...just willy-nilly spending till it's gone.

Is that inflation? Is it transitory?

1 Tales like this reinforce my thought that most of the time, windfall money does not lead to generational wealth.....oh well, money moving about is required to have an economy.

2 The Silent Generation is going faster now maybe even past the bulge, Boomers are winding up, Gen X on deck, early Millennials showing potential.

3 Not as many Gen X mean the Gen Z are going to get shafted on that wealth transfer.

4 Unsure if inheritance money is inflationary in the larger sense.

Luckily for me, I have a stoic temperament.

Ostentatious consumerism just makes no sense to me.

I think certain people are wired up that way, which was Nietzsche's position.

He claimed philosophy was mere post hoc reasoning to account for a person's constitution/temperament

We would still be using our own petrol sources, and not going back to depending and begging the Middle East cartels to give us a break.

Cheaper petrol products keep inflation down, and have been for decades.

Spikes don't usually last for long and just flash in the pan scares. Biden and team want it PERMANENT.

Biden and his puppet masters WANT oil and nat gas to go up in price as much as possible.

It's the ONLY way they can push their GND propaganda and programs. If oil and nat gas stay cheap, GND fails to deliver.

They don't give 2 ratz azz'ezs about the poor and middle class having to shell out $100's more a month to fill gas tanks, and pay more for everything delivered with it, let alone used to manufacture it.

No Climate Justice!! No Climate Peace!!

That should be the squads new catch phrase for their sheep.
