Back in rhe 1970s it would take me about 5 minutes to achieve economic equilibrium. Actually, more like 5 seconds. I would choose my best opportunity and that's about how long it took. Maybe 2 seconds. For example I chose between 2 jobs on offer while on the phone to Kevin Miles, personnel manager of BP NZ. I told him he'd have to match a competing offer. He refused. So I thought for a few seconds and accepted his lower offer because I liked potential opportunities and whatnot better with BP than James Hardie. Not months or even years. Inflation stops when dilution stops. Halve the number of dollars in circulation and watch prices go down. But most people are bludging thieving slave drivers so they won't vote for that. They vote for more free stuff. Mqurice the only way to kill the price spiral was to also kill the wage market..... no. Just stop diluting money and let interest rates rise bigly.

Your food will be expensive for a while The food sector uses around 30% of total global primary energy consumption. Energy consumption is typically disaggregated into direct or indirect energy. Direct energy is used at the operational level primarily on farms and processing plants, for example for irrigation, land preparation and harvesting. Fertilizer accounts for 44% of food commodity cost, far exceeding the importance of direct energy, making it essential for understanding food markets. big government subsidy checks for people to seat at home for the past 18 months. They were happy but the bills always come due. The higher costs of energy and fertilizers percolates to the checkout counter.

Direct energy is used at the operational level primarily on farms and processing plants, for example for irrigation, land preparation and harvesting. Fertilizer accounts for 44% of food commodity cost, far exceeding the importance of direct energy, making it essential for understanding food markets. Abstract Since the 2008 Food Crisis, the link between agriculture and energy has become contentious. Agriculture consumes energy both directly, through oil products, and indirectly, through fertilizer. Since fertilizer cost depends on natural gas prices, we exploit variations in the oil/gas spread to estimate the causal cost contribution of fertilizer to agricultural commodity prices . Fertilizer accounts for 44% of food commodity cost, far exceeding the importance of direct energy, making it essential for understanding food markets. Shocks to fertilizer markets may thus have a far wider economic and social impact than so far acknowledged. papers.ssrn.com
