I really don't think there will be a recession, it's just out of control price gouging everywhere, fueled by greedy billionaires and dirty politicians, it's the same up here, exactly! There are still lots of jobs available, one of the problems is lower income jobs are hard to fill with the price of transportation costs, food costs, etc. Those wages get increased and commodity prices increase, well, you get it.... This is where our Governments are failing us all.

You sound Like SmurfSlayer now. Denial lol .

had a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville. Put over 300,000 on it with only oil changes on a supercharged V6 putting out over 300hp.

But ... NARRATIVE!

D@mn dude. What did @CoronaRaptor ever do to you! ;-)

Remember: I’m on here lightly trolling Ford so that someday they will get tired of me taunting them and give the TRX a run for it’s HP making money.

They won’t, because their management are a bunch of woke Karens, but we can have fun talking about it!

;-)

oh, and Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Price gouging typically on happens over a short period of time when supply is low and demand high. It's also typically done just by a single or handle of sellers. If it's industry wide, that would mean that all the companies would need to collude to keep the price high. If Exxon for example, decided they were just going to charge 'normal' prices and patriciate in the pricing gouging scheme, then they would get a ton of business and customer good will by doing so....which is exactly why competition and capitalism works well for consumers.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to the price of a chocolate bar, more like the things you don't want to live without: gas, booze, ammo, milk, bread, ... your worthless stocks, basically whatever the masses are into is what profiteering I'm talking about. Does gas need to be this high? No, but they will keep raising the prices if people keep buying it, "squeeze every last penny out of you"! Anyway, this is a bit off base as usual, ha ha.

Again, the difference, for those that are interested and not into fear mongering, lol:


- In economics, inflation is a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation corresponds to a reduction in the purchasing power of money.


- A recession is a significant decline in economic activity, lasting more than a few months. There's a drop in the following five economic indicators: real gross domestic product, income, employment, manufacturing, and retail sales.

I wasn't talking about chocolate bars either, hence the Exxon example. Gas companies are making money right now. For sure. I wouldn't be too surprised to hear of layoffs a couple years from now either. Energy industry has always been cyclical, and the good companies profit during the good times so they can make it through the leaner times. Honestly, I think these companies would much prefer a steady price so they can properly plan and control their long term investments, and appear reliable to investors, then high or low swings in prices. That seems to be the case for the various companies I've worked for/with.

Just talked with my friend that works for the local Ford dealership. As of right now, they don't have a single allocation for one, but its still early.
