    Not when we're still getting 40,000 new cases a day.

    The only thing to worry about is having to go back to lockdowns because morons didn't get their vaccine shots.
    If we have numbers like this for the next couple of months it wont matter what you call it. Biden is going to be blamed for it.

    You don't even know what the fuck is happening right now, nor what "the numbers" you ambiguously talk about actually are and what they mean.

    Let's start with where you are inevitably going with this which is that you think the economy is "overstimulated".

    I'm here to tell you that an economy cannot be overstimulated. That is a fallacy from soft-headed mouth breathers.

    Inflation would happen if that demand suddenly disappeared or contracted. But it's not going to disappear because those people will continue spending in the consumer economy.

    We don't have inflation to fear...what we have to fear is a return to lockdowns because not everyone is vaccinated and COVID mutates/evolves into a strain that can overcome the vaccines.

    So get vaccinated, idiots...that's how you fight inflation.
    WRONG ,DUMBFUCK, AS USUAL:

    Inflation is the decline of purchasing power of a given currency over time. A quantitative estimate of the rate at which the decline in purchasing power occurs can be reflected in the increase of an average price level of a basket of selected goods and services in an economy over some period of time.

    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

    Exactly, and price increases as a result of increased demand have nothing to do with inflation of currency.

    Stop trying to fake your way through this discussion when it's obvious you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
