I just realized why China is still instituting lockdowns. They're trying to curb hyperinflation, aren't they?

Those lockdowns accomplish the exact opposite.
Pretty much the only reason we have high inflation is because supply lines are fucked (rona & Ukraine war).

Why do you think oil and natural gas are so expensive right now?

No you retard, because supply is constrained.

No they're trying to cause supply chain issues in the west. Note how they keep locking down port cities

You're the retard here buddy. Producing country locks up, it produces less. Consuming country opens up, it consumes more. Demand up, supply down, what happens to the price, genius?

HOLY SHIT does that count towards the GDP? HAHAHAHAHAH neolib boomers are really scraping the bottom of the barrel

>> No.50186222

>>50186167
You have to be a shill…

GDP = money supply x velocity of money
$/time = $ x 1/time

Central banks inflated the money supply by at least 2x while economies became less productive.
Reading the velocity of money through lockdowns prevents prices from rising (a symptom of monetary inflation).

It just balances the equation…

That was my first post actually.
Provide a counter-argument rather than whitehouse-tier supply chain propaganda

30% of all the USD ever issued (since 1930s) were ‘printed’ in the last 24 months - that’s the definition of inflation.
Rising prices are only a consequence thereof and politicians are desperate to find a scapegoat. Plan accordingly

>> No.50186560

> that’s the definition of inflation
No, inflation only happens when actual goods and services go up in price.
Simply injecting money into the stock market doesn't do that; high demand + reduced supply does that.
