Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

All those people with no money to spend are definitely what’s causing inflation

Listen, an intelligent man on the television told me that's what caused it, so I'm going to listen to him. I also heard from Becky on Facebook that inflation is caused by all those immigrants not paying their taxes.All those people with no money to spend are definitely what’s causing inflation
Keep printing money.... assholes
Elon thinks the Fed should drop the rate .25% at the meeting this Wednesday. He thinks they could overshoot the runway trying to beat down inflation
Widely expected to be a .75% increase.

He wants that to pay for his shit Twitter deal with his TSLA stock.
But, somewhere, there's a tree out there that's producing oxygen for him. He needs to find that tree and appologize.

M1 compared to US Core CPI
TBF the counter argument is to show the Bank of Japan's money supple vs the Japanese CPI
This is an interesting chart in my opinion because it seems to counter Milton's argument. However, I would argue that Japan's constant money printing has lead to an unstable Economy.
