I am a resident of Japan. There is a lot of talk here about how prices in the U.S. are rising rapidly, but I wonder if people living in the U.S. are getting paid in proportion to that ? So even though prices are high, are they not suffering that much?
Are pensioners affected by the high prices? ?
What about those who originally work for low wages ( What about immigrants from Mexico, those living in Compton, etc. ) ?
Are foreign students from Japan doing well? Are they doing well? I wonder if the money they send back to Japan is worth it.

I have not been to the US for a long time, so I was wondering about the current situation.

I thought the Democrats would suffer a major defeat, but that is not the case.
There is no doubt that the world will continue to become more and more difficult. Wars and inflation will not stop. It is only a matter of time before the unemployed flood in, or rather, have already begun to do so. We will experience the worst depression in history.

The moment I put the first spoonful into the vanilla one of the Haagen-Dazs cups I bought at Cosco, the whole thing was spotted inside and reduced by about 2 cm.
It looks like air is inside, not bottoming out.
This is the third time.
I don't know how to complain...

Prices will rise more and security will worsen. Since the Democrats are on the side of illegal immigrants, the American people will be addicted to drugs, homelessness will increase, and China will take over. The Democrats will not be able to save the American people with their huge aid to Ukraine. The people are going to have to worry about electricity and gas bills, and the people are also going to die from flu and corona disease in the cold winter.

Inflation is due to the Fed's long-standing low interest rate policy and the logistical slowdown due to labor shortages caused by the Corona pandemic, as well as gas and grain shortages caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Trump pressured the Fed to implement negative interest rates when he was president, but if negative rates had been implemented, inflation would have been worse than it is now.
Trump's big tariffs on Chinese goods also accelerated inflation.

What are you talking about? ?
You froze oil and gas drilling in the U.S. and made it a policy to rely on foreign oil and gas.
And he's also a laughingstock because he's in Ukraine's debt.
All the countries that support Ukraine are suffering from inflation
Low interest rate policy is inflation ? Low interest rates make people's pockets lighter and they spend more money so companies, restaurants, and the taxpayers' money goes to the government
And the government gets more money. if you quit low interest rates and people stop spending money, everything will stagnate you should think twice

Low interest rates lead to inflation, which is the basic foundation of the economy.
When low interest rates lighten everyone's pockets and money is spent, it is good for the economy and stocks, real estate prices, salaries, and rents rise, which leads to inflation.
Now, in a desperate attempt to stop this rapid inflation, the Fed is raising interest rates at a significant pace, 75 points, which is rare in history.

Much of what is sold in the US is Chinese goods.
It is quite natural that tariffs on China would raise the price of everything.
If the cheap well to do labor in Central and South America is eliminated, there will be inflation.
The pandemic has led to a shortage of truck drivers, many of whom were older on average and chose to retire early.

Fuel prices are not just rising in the US, they are rising all over the world.
The coronal pandemic has caused central banks around the world to implement low interest rate policies and print more money, spreading it around the market like gold from a helicopter.
It's no wonder we have inflation.

Not true.
This inflation is bad inflation. Salarymen who usually don't spend money and live on their wages probably have no other brain than to read print. The stock market has crashed, followed by uncontrollable inflation.

This inflation was deliberately created by the short supply of useless lockdowns due to the pandemic and the soaring gasoline prices due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

You are being childish again when you think it was deliberate. LOL

Inflation didn't start after the stock market crashed.
Stock prices had been soaring since the pandemic.
Stocks have been in the doldrums lately because they have been falling since the Fed announced and started raising interest rates in an attempt to control inflation.
Let's learn a little bit about economics instead of immediately and easily buying into Trump's usual hyperbolic lies to become a talking point.

By the way, I'm neither a businessman nor a Democrat.

Inflation began after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. Stock prices crashed and the Fed started raising interest rates to try to control inflation, but it was a protracted battle. You should review your own cogent statements before you misrepresent what you said. I'm saying that this inflation is not the inflation you are reading about in print. The proof is that neither stock prices nor salaries have risen. You can't think for yourself, so all you can do is steal data from the past and someone else's statements.

That's called taking it on faith.

Inflation had already largely started before the Ukrainian invasion. Well, the gasoline inflation that the average person is most likely to experience firsthand is after the Ukrainian invasion. LOL
You don't understand economics.

Technically, the stock market crash was after the Fed rate hike.
It's better to buy even one share of stock so you can learn a little more about the economy and not be fooled by Trump's exaggerated lies.
