    Thanks for that. I feel relieved now. I think Raggedy Ann said much the same thing.

    That's good news. I thought we were going to have a recession.

    I went to the grocery store yesterday. It's not looking good for us retirees on a fixed income.

    The bright side is we could be retired and living in Russia.....or worse, Ukraine.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    Starting to see signs of stagflation with high inflation combined with a loss of jobs. The leading job indicators, namely bankers and foot soldiers for financial companies, are starting to see layoffs. Not surprising when the fifteen-year mortgage rate has essentially doubled in six months. The Fed is talking about a 75 basis point increase to the Fed funds rate with a year end goal of a rate around 3.5%. Then we see inflation with fuel prices much higher than last year and food prices going crazy. My wife told me she saw a dozen eggs going for $5.00 and butter at $6.50 per pound. Last year, a dozen eggs cost less than $1 and butter was $3.00 per pound.

    This reminds me too much of the late 1970s.

    I wonder if Amazon’s quarterly loss is the proverbial canary in the mine, for our 2022 economy.
