Making Sense of Inflation

Published: Feb. 22, 2022, 8 a.m.

b'Inflation is an obvious problem in America right now. The cause, however, is little less obvious. We have a supply chain problem due to the pandemic, but we also have companies recording record profits, and one whole political party who would rather weaponize inflation than solve it. I\\u2019m no financial expert but when this many people are talking about the same thing, it\\u2019s important for us to at least understand the broad strokes so we\\u2019re dialed in and asking the right questions. If you\\u2019ve ever been confused by economics you aren\\u2019t alone, join me as we break it down.\\xa0\\n\\nPlease RATE and SUBSCRIBE so we can grow the show, open the dialogue and inspire better change moving forward!\\n\\nAll my links here!: https://linktr.ee/politicsgirl\\n\\ufeff\\nThank you to today\\u2019s sponsors!\\nhttp://www.AthleticGreens.com/politicsgirl\\nhttp://www.Apostrophe.com/politicsgirl\\nhttp://www.Wondrium.com/politicsgirl\\n\\nThe PoliticsGirl Podcast is a Meidas Touch original podcast produced by Happy Warrior Entertainment.\\xa0\\n\\nBig thanks to Julia Lee Stander for her help with research this week.\\n\\nSources:\\nhttps://www.thebalance.com/what-is-inflation-357610\\nhttps://kids.kiddle.co/Inflation\\nhttps://www.businessinsider.com/corporations-using-inflation-as-excuse-to-reap-fatter-profits-reich-2021-11\\nhttps://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/biden-nominates-jerome-powell-second-term-federal-reserve-rcna4696\\nhttps://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/why-is-inflation-rising-right-now/\\nhttps://www.nytimes.com/article/inflation-definition.html\\nhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-30/fattest-profits-since-1950-debunk-inflation-story-spun-by-ceos?utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_content=business&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social\\nhttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/ap-explainer-why-us-inflation-is-so-high-and-when-it-may-ease\\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/nov/11/us-inflation-market-power-america-antitrust-robert-reich\\nhttps://www.reuters.com/business/meat-packers-profit-margins-jumped-300-during-pandemic-white-house-economics-2021-12-10/\\nhttps://apnews.com/article/latest-inflation-numbers-consumer-prices-616055db3bf67691b4fdc0015fc00783?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/today-explained/id1346207297?i=1000542026490\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kcrws-left-right-center/id73329771?i=1000541579199\\nhttps://robertreich.substack.com/p/unvarnished-truth-inflation\\n\\nRemember to subscribe to ALL the Meidas Media Podcasts:\\nMeidasTouch: https://pod.link/1510240831\\nLegal AF: https://pod.link/1580828595\\nThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://pod.link/1595408601\\nThe Influence Continuum: https://pod.link/1603773245\\nKremlin File: https://pod.link/1575837599\\nMea Culpa: https://pod.link/1530639447\\nZoomed In: https://pod.link/1580828633'
