So now that the USD and Euro are even, europe is about to get fucked. Now Americans can buy anything they want in Europe at even money but the fact is inflation hasn't hit Europe as bad as it has in the USA for the price of goods. It will be a blood bath when everything in Europe gets jacked up 30-50% to make up for the decline of the Euro. Americans are going to be buying properties at a discount while making it impossible for Europeans to afford anything there.
Global economy is going to fucking boil soon.

Maybe going into record breaking debt for a virus that is 99.97% survivable, and transferring $3.7 trillion globally from the middle class to the elites wasn't a good idea, in hindsight?
In Canada, it was $1 trillion alone, LOL. More debt than in the entire history of Canada before it! Brilliant idea!
Inflation is already huge here. I can't wait to see where this goes.
Just one question: why will prices in Europe going up by 30-50% help Americans buy things there cheaper?
-
I have a feeling we are all fucked.

Inflation is good for you just like the vax.

I have a feeling we are all fucked.
Yeap :D

Food prices doubled in the last 12-15 month in germany. (not 100% accurate, but the stuff i buy doubled in price)
We can handle another 50%, it's almost guaranteed anyway..
But yes i agree.

F*ck unto others before they f*ck unto you.

You have to follow the currency charts to understand Matt.
You don’t need to be a trader to read them.
Look at the Euro or almost any other currency compared to USD the last 6 months.

You buy white rice and bulgur, right?
White rice went up here. My mom thinks rising food costs will get people to eat better...but I'm not so sure about that. I think they will just eat more processed carbohydrates.
If Germany can't stay together financially, I don't see the rest of the world having much hope.

I don't doubt the Euro will tank...but how will 30-50% inflation of goods in Europe make it better for Americans to made Made in EU?
Is it that inflation goods will be 30-50%, but the USD will be worth so much more that it will overcome this inflation?

Apparently, the EU is planning to bail out the Southern countries again. IMO, that’s the real reason.
Brussels isn’t gonna give up on this failed experiment without a fight..

Errr you do know a strong dollar is bad for the US businesses and economy right? No one will buy your shit.
All the American businesses operating in Europe are taking a forex hit
Meanwhile Americans will be buying up all the "cheap" Euro trash they can get their hands instead of American goods. Tourism and tourist dollars will be flooding Europe.
And no, no American is buy property in Europe lol.

There are arguments for both sides. The strong dollars allows you import more whereas a weak dollar benefits exports.
In the case of Europe it’s good for the countries in the south that rely on tourism. Conversely the Germans can’t be thrilled about giving away Benz’s.

wrong
but I'm not so sure about that. I think they will just eat more processed carbohydrates.
correct
The healthy food became more expensive. (Maybe not healthy food but unprocessed food.)
500 grams Pasta from 39 Cent =>to 1€ => now 70-80 Cent. (Corona+Ukraine)
Kindney Beans 400 grams 29-39 Cent =>to 90 Cent => now 70 Cent (Corona)
Butter 500 grams 1€ => 6€ => now 3,20€
Vegetables also much more expensive.
unhealthy stuff like pizza etc. raised maybe 5-30%.
If Germany can't stay together financially, I don't see the rest of the world having much hope.
No, it's all good, it was expected, first corona and than war in europe + Many prices where rising trough mass buyings from many people because of corona. (Vegetable Oil, Toilett paper, canned goods etc.) + many products came frome the ukraine like vegetable Oil, Wheat,Canola etc.. So it is mostly not inflation, but shortness in products. But people are short on money, i have absolute no idea how bad that is, but the world economy takes a hit right now and i am not sure the usa can profit from that, i think it is bad for everybody.
Yes, low Euro is good for export. Now Americans can afford quality machinery from Germany :)
To be clear, people are not broke in germany but things like: Gas, Energy and food get expensive.

I agree there are arguments for both sides, but for example if Americans can get German cars cheap, they'll buy more German cars instead of American. Net outcome is neutral for German business, bad for American.

Yes, also germans will buy more german cars. Believe it or not germany imports many cars from the usa (wtf). So germans buy more german cars and americans buy more german cars, Win Win Situation :D

Europe has had it pretty good when it comes to food/grocery prices compared to the rest of Western world. What I pay in London is maybe half what the average American on the East coast pays for the same bag shopping.
Don't feel sorry for Europeans when it comes to grocery costs. We've had it good for a long time.

Great post. Yeah...my mom is wrong...I get it: she sees that Canadians are so fat, and thinks they will just reduce calories by 30% if food costs go up 30%. But no.
Things are holding up here in Canada, but I'm worried we will have the equivalent of an economic heart attack. When suddenly, something snaps, and our economy dies.
Previously, I felt our economy was dying of cancer, and it was a steady freefall decline. But I fear that things are barely being kept in place now, and that we something is going to give, and prices will go up considerably more.
I hope I'm wrong.

That's amazing. In London, really? I'd expect high prices there.
Speaking of the East coast USA, what's up with this?:

Inflation is no fun. On that we can all agree. If you think it is bad this year and it is, it could be worse, much worse.
In 1946 the rate of inflation in the U.S was 18.1%.
In 1974 it was 12.3%.
In 1979 it was 13.3%.
In 1980 it was 12.5%.
The current rate of inflation is 8.5% (according to some sources).

How was "Inflation" calculated and logged during those years? Same or different than today?

That’s why I said global economy. None of what’s happening is good. How the fed is sitting idle saying shit like a recession is not absolute or that things are okay tells you they are clueless or just masking what is really happening. This will be a global collapse.

Is there gonna be a global collapse? Maybe. But must of us first worlders on here just have to worry about tightening our purse strings, whereas those in third world will be worrying about starvation.
Deglobalisation which is what's happening is a good thing, it needs to happen. Standards of living dropping because of it won't be nice, but in the grand scheme of things it's nothing. It's just people being soft and crybabies. We could all learn a thing or two from the frugal Dr Goodrum here.
The FED and those making decisions know exactly what they're doing. Well they know what they're trying to do. Success isn't guaranteed, but never bet against the USA and capitalism. Buy the dip.

Americans and Canadians are too caught up in brands/labels which sell at a considerable mark up.
You don't need to buy branded staples like toilet paper, bleach, rice, pasta, beans etc.
There is a big market for cheaper store branded goods here. Often it's the same product, even made in the same factory as the branded good just sold with different labelling and pricing.

I found this to be correct with Safeway Select. You still need to compare prices because occasionally the maker branded products are on sale with a better price than the store brand. Check quantities too. For example the Greek Gods yogurt I like is similar in price at Safeway and Walmart. The difference is the same product at Walmart is a slightly larger container - 32 oz verses 28 oz. Check price per oz. on everything.
Got gas at Costco yesterday for $4.76 a gal. The 2 Chevron stations near me are charging $5.59 a gal with their card. I don't think I have ever seen that big a difference in price between the two places before. It cost me $44.50 for 9.350 gallons which filled the tank. This will probably do it for a month or more.

Exactly right.
I buy off brand items all the time and people think i'm some cheap ass.
No, i just value my money and like you said a lot of this stuff comes from the same place.
Americans love to pay more just for a name with better marketing. Makes them feel rich.

'America' now has higher inflation than many African countries.
Congratulations.

Well...North America is basically just a place to shop right now.

Besides my iPhone, I no longer buy any American products.
Only European. Better quality anyway.

None of this is down to incompetence. It is all planned and done maliciously. The future of America and Europe is BLEAK unless profound changes occur. Try looking to South America to get a glimpse of the not too distant future in the USA. Poverty and Crime and Racial conflicts that make the present ones look mild.

Cope. "At least we got it better than those guys."
The US is plenty capable of producing energy, fertilizer, and food. It isn't producing them because of government policies. The war in Ukraine has nothing to do with it.

Idk. Those who can't afford Oakleys and have to work instead of make videos are probably less confident. Dude had a strong "I live in Boulder and have money" vibe.
I'm just real tired of governments fucking over their people with destructive policies and then telling us it's all Vladimir Putin's fault. It's a lie.
And if I'm wrong, and it's true, isn't that a good reason to de-globalize and enact policies that bolster domestic production of necessities? Except we're getting the opposite, "because green."
My tinfoil says this is some kind of Phase 2. Another manufactured panic. I can't wait to see what The Solution is going to be, but I expect it'll involve being told we're all in this together and looking to Bill Gates & Co. to feed us while currency switches to WEF Coin.
That's just the foil talking tho. Still. Think I'll incorporate a water heater into my woodstove.

And that's just one nuke. NYC is for sure getting multiple nukes. The I95 corridor will be turned into a sheet of glass. Yes, we will kill and destroy Russia, but we will also be destroyed in the process. So I really don't know what the point is, aside from a monumental ass-covering exercise taking place, of telling someone in Tribeca that if a nuke is to go off to hide in the closet. Really? LOL.
The elephant in the room when it comes to the above announcement is Long Island. Those 8+ million people have no way out in the case of nukes going off in NYC. The radioactive cloud will slowly kill most of them within a week.

To the financial establishment there is an upside to a crashing stock market: they get to pick up shares of quality companies at bargain basement prices.
A collapse of the currency offers no such upside.
That’s why I believe when push comes to shove the fed wil prioritize saving the dollar.

Covid was the kickstart to the global depression, huge debts created and the money filtered off into the pockets of the billionaires and the politicians.
Contracts handed to companies that had no experience in dealing with what they were contraced to provide.
I recall a shipping contract awarded to a company that didnt have any ships.
Most people are now aware of whats going on but dont want to admit it because the truth is harder to live with than a lie.
