Current Economic Problems

Re: Current Economic Problems

'Fraid not. I did read some data on the subject but didn't pay much attention.

Here's some more on Brit deaths though.

🚨 | In the first 30 weeks of 2022 we have seen registered deaths more than 10% above average among those aged 10-14, 30-34, 35-39, 55-59, 60-64 and 75-79.

Since week 15 deaths above average accelerated. This is not due to deaths where Covid mentioned on the death certificate. pic.twitter.com/SitdaCK4li

Re: Current Economic Problems

Do you have any data on birth rates?

What is happening with the birthrates? Found these figures having a deep dive

Norway����: Down 6%
Stockholm����: Down 14%
Germany����: Down 12%
Taiwan����: Down 27%
Britain����: Down 9%
Netherlands����: Down 11%

They have fallen all over the world at the same time this year.

this isn't a new thing, birth rates have been dropping in the developed world for a long time.

Depends on the timeframe. Year on year, they are dramatic drops.

I think coronavirus and the lockdowns will have a very profound and long term social, health and economic cost.

The Ukraine crisis right on top of it is a disaster for the west.

This is the societal change the WEF needed to implement their plans.

Inflation had to rise to curtail spending money the country doesn’t have.

Don’t you think the billions wasted on useless Pandemic policies would not have an effect on inflation, all of this is predicted.

It also destroys savings which is a requirement for dependency, and expect to see mortgage defaults in large numbers which will lead to further dependency.

Lloyds bank are already snapping them up and renting them back to the previous owners. It looks like their new side-line as they prepare for the introduction of a CBDC.

UK inflation hits 10.1 per cent this morning.

Yep, the only good element is that the monthly increase was the slowest for 6 months, suggesting we are at or nearing the peak.

And also that petrol prices are finally falling and should continue to do so.

On the other hand, UK (and European) wholesale gas prices have absolutely rocketed in the last weeks

This is going to be a very difficult winter on our continent.

Sounds a bit Shakesperean.

Re: Current Economic Problems

listening to R4 this am, the big topic was inflation being > 10%. The general consensus amongst economists that the driving factors were post Covid demand being far greater than supply (fuel, energy, food) and that the war in Ukraine has not helped.

There were differing opinions on whether raising interest rates further would help or not, given the main drivers of inflation are external factors.
