You used the word "rates" in your own post (see below). I felt like putting those in quotes when I responded to your post. If you don't like the fact I put your word in quotes, that's too bad.

There are plenty of Biden haters here who are broadcasting non-positive "rates." No need for me to duplicate their efforts.
Indeed we are. And that's the post I was referring to in the bolded sentence below:

Good posting Bond! People on this forum as so snarky. In the end, people working means your supply chain irons out, and either inflation should go down or growth up.
We can all agree that they stimulused too much and shut down too much, but at least we seem to be climbing out of the hole instead of wallowing in the crater.
It's always good to get back to where you were to start with, right?
everyone is paying more.. no one is paying less. textbook defn of "lowered standard of living"
Well not everyone.
Not my husband, not either of my kids, not either of their spouses. Pretty much not anyone on my block. So not anyone in my large circle.
No one is commuting in to the city daily. Most not at all, some 2 days per week. Everyone got a big increase. Hey, I’m in Florida and we are working remotely.
Just a few data points for you. Much lower commuting costs/ much higher salaries.
We run in different circles.
I’m sorry this is not your experience.
There are winners and losers.

well i have been telecommuting at least part time for 20 years...have not even BEEN to the office in now over 2 years since the evacuation order.
but your 'data points' are definitely not representative of any part of america, unless the other 335M people are lying...call me Jim Leyland - I play the odds.
so, unless you found a way to buy from goodwill only, eat only hotdogs from wawa and not power your house from FPL and even if you are only commuting sometimes, if your miles are as low as half (most of my miles are NOT commuting. by FAR) your gas bill stays the same, math, being what it is - all your costs are up.....my position stands

??your are not paying more??..do you ever go food shopping..... EVERYTHING is up
while its a great thing that the 2022 employment numbers are starting to get back to where we were in 2020..we are headed into a very hard recession (this year), that will make 2008 look like a piece of cake

Very low unemployment is a bad thing. It results in labor shortages, which leads to supply chain issues, which leads to price increases, which means inflation. Hardly a recession, we need higher interest rates to cool off an overheated economy.
