Since we know the numbers are going to suck since Peppermint Patty is leading the Amen Corner Media to blame Putin for it:

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.

EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'

...but what is the number one nation gold is flowing into right now? Nope...it is not China.


I'm not sure but I think the number one nation it may be flowing out of is the UK. If I recall about a week ago they defaulted on contracts or whatever and we shipping a lot to the USA.

March numbers are out:

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.4% over the prior year in March, a slowdown from February's 2.8% annual gain and a beat compared to economists' expectations of a 2.5% annual increase.

On a month-over-month basis, prices declined 0.1% — the first time monthly CPI prices have fallen since May 2020. This was also below the 0.2% increase seen in February and a beat compared to economists' estimates of a 0.1% monthly uptick.

On a "core" basis, which strips out the more volatile costs of food and gas, prices in March climbed 0.1% over the prior month, cooler than February's 0.2% monthly gain and ahead of economist expectations of a 0.3% increase.

Yes, as you've indicated, we've been in a deflationary situation long before the tariffs. Stocks, housing, bonds, bitcoin - everything is going down because the pricing unit by which they're measured - the US Dollar - is rising. Over a decade of ZIRP, massive indebtedness on the part of families, businesses, and government has created a massive short on the US Dollar. That's right, borrowing in dollars is shorting the dollar, because those borrowing massive amounts think that the dollar will depreciate and their earnings thereby increase to pay off the debt with more cheaper dollars.

Guess what - this is a dollar short squeeze. Everyone needs dollars to pay off their dollar-denominated debts, margin calls, etc.

This may be the deflationary spike before all the dollars worldwide come surging back to the US to fuel massive inflation (KaPoom theory for the iTulip peeps). If this plays out, the only question that needs to be asked is "Got Gold?"

My wife said something similar recently - the price is going through the roof, but will you be able to access it when you need it?
