Shortage of Everything EQUALS hyperinflation
« on: May 10, 2021, 05:40:07 AM »
It just hit me today --

When the dollar loses lots of value, quicker than people's minds can adjust to higher prices (no one is ready for $10 gallons milk), what happens much quicker is SHORTAGES OF EVERYTHING, as anyone "stupid enough" to trade STUFF for DEVALUED CURRENCY quickly finds a buyer.

Just like if I went out on the street and said, "Who wants to give me 2 $5 bills for my $20?" I would have PLENTY of customers. In fact, there would be a SHORTAGE because eventually I'd run out of $20 bills. I'd have people lining up all day to make that deal! THERE WOULD BE A WAITING LIST.

If a store started selling something -- a useful, practical item that EVERYONE NEEDS -- for 50% off, there would certainly be a shortage of supply. They'd restock in the morning, and it would be sold out (again) within hours. Because the price is 1/2 of what it should be.

Now apply that to all the shortages (basically a waiting list -- not enough supply to meet demand) they're talking about in the news:

Housing shortage
Computer chip shortage
Copper shortage
Wood shortage
Labor shortage

When they're a shortage of "everything", you're basically in severe inflation, or even hyperinflation.

Another example: when they keep silver/gold prices artificially low, what happens? The Treasury always sells out of Silver ounces within minutes. It's because the REAL VALUE is actually higher than the official price -- and everyone knows it.

Add iron ore, steel, fuel, and many food items to the list.  They’re doing this on purpose to crash the economy and bring on the Great Reset ... under the cover of COVID, which can be conveniently blamed for it.  Schwab clearly stated his intentions.

Again, I want to emphasize my point.

If silver or gold were properly priced, there would be as many people wanting to SELL for today's price as those wanting to BUY for today's price. But when the price something is artificially low (for whatever reason: psychology, manipulation, inertia, etc.) then you end up with SCARCITY of that item. Too many customers chasing too few bargains.

Anything that is selling, today, for less than twice last year's price is basically a BARGAIN and smart people know it.

If you had to sink your money into physical things -- say you knew your money would be toilet paper by next week -- what items would you want to buy first? Practical stuff, right?

So my theory is: these practical items -- stuff everyone needs -- will be the CANARY IN THE COALMINE that our currency is actively plunging in value.

If a store started selling something -- a useful, practical item that EVERYONE NEEDS -- for 50% off, there would certainly be a shortage of supply. They'd restock in the morning, and it would be sold out (again) within hours. Because the price is 1/2 of what it should be.

And you know the you-know-hews are doing this. Buying up land, real estate, materials, etc.

Based on economists I’ve been listening to, they think the housing market has peaked and will start to decline, as in 2007/08.  But with the added inflation of food on the horizon, the housing decline could be real big.  
.
He also says that the lumber shortages were based on 3 things, and will decline by end of summer.  1) CÖVÌD shutdown of production (ie less supply), 2) increase of house projects since people didn’t spend $ on travel and were working from home (ie increase demand), 3) lumber yards hoarding wood in an attempt to drive up prices and make a short term profit (ie decrease supply).  But at some point, prices will come back down.  
.
In the last 6 months we’ve seen prices rise for all kinds of things (food, tp) the same reasons as above.  Fewer people are working (ie less supply), while they still have same demand (due to CÖVÌD stimulus).
.
In the grand scheme of things, yes, big time inflation is coming because of the continued devalue of the dollar.  Import costs will rise and the scariest thing....those things that we actually make in the US, will be exported because US manufacturers will make more money selling to foreign countries than to selling to its own citizens. What an !&%# backwards nightmare.

YouTube = economic ninja.  He’s a small business/real estate guy from California.  Explains stuff very well.

I don't quite buy the alleged "causes" of these shortages.  I think it's all deliberate and engineered.
