yes, just when it seems corp earnings to be squeezed more

employment cost index is sharply
energy costs up each month, despite moronic pronouncements
import components rising in price
commodity materials rising in price
shipping costs rising in price

the fools seem to be welcoming a return of "some" inflation
but they are incapable of discerning good inflation from bad inflation
illiteracy is rampant in all things financial
I have never seen such widespread ignorance in my entire adult life

this is bad inflation, since it pertains to cost of production

good inflation involves the return of pricing power
of course, there is none
