During 1992–2020, the USA had low and stable #inflation.

Despite massive federal deficit spending, the Fed met its 2% inflation target (or missed below it) for most of this era.

How come? There were no serious shortage of resources. (Thanks to: no cold war, globalization, bad working conditions, stable commodity supply, increase of greenhouse effect.)

A graph from FRED There is no relationship between federal deficit spending (green) and inflation (red). Deficit spending (money surplus) does not cause inflation.

Retail automation Worse Than You Thought

#Supermarket behemoth #Kroger uses electronic price tags (ESLs). These digital displays prices to change instantly & dynamic pricing permits prices change based a whim

They could mine shopper’s #data & set prices as high as possible. My concern is that these tools will be #abused in pursuit of #profit, surging prices on essential goods in areas with fewer & fewer #grocery stores

Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and 13 colleagues wrote to the CEO of the supermarket behemoth #Kroger in November about electronic price tags (often called #electronic #shelf #labels or #ESLs ).
These digital displays allow companies to change prices automatically from a mobile app.
Tlaib warned that this so-called “#dynamic #pricing” permits retailers to adjust prices based on their whims.
Just as #Uber raises prices during storms or rush hour, retailers like Kroger use ESLs to adjust prices based on factors like time of day or the weather.
Supermarkets could conceivably mine a shopper’s personal data to set prices as high as possible.
“My concern is that these tools will be abused in the pursuit of profit, surging prices on essential goods in areas with fewer and fewer grocery stores,” Tlaib wrote.
In August, Senators Elizabeth #Warren and Bob #Casey wrote to Kroger raising similar concerns about #price #gouging.
Noting that the company has already implemented the technology in hundreds of stores across the county, they warned that
“ESLs may help Kroger extract maximum profits from consumers at a time when…high grocery prices are a leading concern among Americans who are concerned about inflation.”
Warren and Casey also voiced concern about Kroger’s partnership with Microsoft to install #facial-#recognition technology in stores,
which could be used to identify individual customers:
When a shopper approaches the shelf, she would see a price calibrated specifically for her.
The next shopper might pay a different amount based on their profile.
Retailers could use shopper data to charge higher prices to those who can afford to pay more, but since stores do not have to disclose who is making pricing decisions or why,
the senators worry that shoppers on a budget are particularly vulnerable.
“It is outrageous that, as families continue to struggle to pay to put food on the table, grocery giants like Kroger continue to roll out #surge #pricing and other corporate #profiteering schemes,” they wrote

New York City has just implemented congestion pricing on cars. Is a big city in Canada next?
New York City, a bustling metropolis with eight million people all trying to get somewhere, has now put a price on cars entering part of Manhattan, the first of its kind in North America. Could Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver be next?

"About 70 percent of all crude oil exports from the Middle East go to Asia."

"Under capitalism, envisioning a shift away from fossil fuels is more difficult by the day."

Adam Hanieh: canadiandimension.com/articles

canadiandimension.com‘The green transition is a myth’: Adam Hanieh on the ongoing centrality of oil to capitalismMany vital left-wing books about global oil politics have been published over the last decade: Mazen Labban’s Space, Oil and Capital, Timothy Mitchell’s Carbon Democracy, and Simon Pirani’s Burning Up. Perhaps none have provided quite as sweeping and synthetic of an analysis as Adam Hanieh’s Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power, and the Making of the World Market.

@energisch_ @gerrymcgovern unfortunately, the more mom and pop, specialized, independent #home service companies get eaten up by larger all-in-one, everything home #conglomerates the harder that becomes.

Even with their #expensive #crm #serviceTitan #efficiency #constantContact #app tool for #scheduling and #pricing their new #super #skills #company needs to charge more for everything with less experienced #workers than if you had a #momAndPop #master do the work!

If anyone truly wants to #save the #Planet everyone needs to kick #bro out of the #game

Anyone that thinks replacing #human #skills and #abilities with #software and #machines is better for the #Environment than letting a human expell their own #energy doing the same things, is the problem, not part of any real word solution.
