Now it’s jinxed

Wait until they ease monetary policy, keep running ever larger fiscal deficits, and inflation ramps back up while unemployment is slow to recover.

Is unemployment a significant problem in any region or sector?

It’s a lagging indicator and the last two months it is starting to trend up.

if you control the suppy of money can’t you just print away a hard landing?

Consumer credit is nearly maxed out and consumer spending is starting to slow. Manufacturing data starting to show signs of weakness. Layoffs in a few months I'd say.

Recession is inevitable.

pretty lines!
