Stagflation - stăg-flā′shən noun 1 Sluggish economic growth coupled with a high rate of inflation and unemployment.
It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out if consumers are paying a lot more for fuel and food they have less money to spend on other stuff. Less stuff bought means less stuff moved. Less stuff to move and too many trucks to move it means rates go down.
Don't look for rates to go up again until all the debt-laden O/O who got into the game with $250k in debt go out. Once the herd thins rates will stabilize but they won't go up again until the Mad King is gone. Once we open up domestic oil production again, stop paying for a war we have no part of (I missed the bit where arms dealers stopped accepting euros, apparently they only accept US tax dollars now), stop spending trillions on things that are optional at best (UBI, climate corps, equity programs, etc.) things will get back to normal (about 4 years).Dadetrucking305, Dino soar, chimbotano and 4 others Thank this. -
