XO WSJ: Economic crisis accelerating, expect more pain
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 23rd, 2024 11:29 PM Author: Offensive mad cow disease range Whoops I meant Biden’s economy is absolutely humming and Americans are feeling the benefits. Cons how mad does it make you that America is thriving when you desire so badly for America to fail?
——
The Public May Soon See the Economic Light Perceptions tend to lag behind reality. But inflation has been going down for a while
Now that the Iowa caucuses are over, the feeling that this is a presidential election year is more palpable. It’s a commonplace that economic conditions swing elections. Yet despite economic performance that can only be called spectacularly good, Americans seem down in the mouth about the economy and how President Biden is handling it.
About three months ago on these pages I asked why, and my answer concentrated on the public’s apparent yearning for lower prices, not only lower inflation. Today, without retracting anything I wrote then, I want to emphasize two other reasons: general grumpiness in the electorate and lags in perception about the economy.
Let’s review current economic conditions. The unemployment rate has been hovering near its pre-pandemic low, which was the lowest in about 50 years, for about two years. Inflation, which soared in 2022, has receded into the 2% to 3% range, depending on your choice of index and time period—putting it within shouting distance of the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Net new job creation continues at a rapid pace for a labor market that is around full employment. And the Fed may be on the verge of achieving the elusive “soft landing” that many experts thought improbable a year ago. Income inequality is even shrinking, as low wages rise faster than high wages.
[…]
A fascinating new paper by Stanford’s Ryan Cummings and Neale Mahoney provides statistical evidence for what economists have long believed, and offers estimates of it. The authors estimate that the negative effect of inflation on the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index has historically taken about two years to wither away. In one statistical model, if the effect of inflation on the sentiment index subtracts 10 points this year, it will subtract about 7 points next year, and less than 1 point the year after that.
If that pattern holds in 2022-24 and inflation remains low, sentiment will improve notably this year. It looks as if that’s starting to happen—right on schedule. The Consumer Sentiment Index has soared in the past two months, after being in the doldrums since 2021.
It’s a glimmer of hope. May it continue.

CR
After a rough few years, the economy had turned around and was "objectively doing great" under George H.W. Bush during his last year in office. Economists generally agree about that.
That's what ultimately saved him in '92, IIRC. Voters eventually came around, they usually do. |

I also remember something about a promise to not raise taxes. |

Date: January 24th, 2024 1:33 AM Author: Swollen Titillating Regret Quadroon To be fair,
You mean the additional factors of how Bush Sr. was viewed as insufficiently ideologically pure by the most hardline faction of his own party, and how a substantial plurality of his own constituents had become markedly dissatisfied with him as a result of various things he had said and various actions he had taken while in office… both of which almost certainly led to diminished voter turnout by his base?
Yeah fair point — that is one important way in which was in a totally different position than Joe Biden finds himself heading into 2024.

No I mean that Bush said “I won’t do X” and then did X and the media made that his entire POtUSy during his re-elect and it was simple enough that the dumbs who don’t really pay attention could manage to retain it. |

We just had years of 6-9% inflation (that they'll admit to). Everyone has experienced firsthand that groceries are now 30-50% more expensive than a few years ago. Used cars are still unbelievably expensive. Housing affordability is at the worst level ever recorded. None of this is unwinding fast enough. |

Date: January 24th, 2024 3:04 PM Author: Bespoke excitant resort No, it did not used to be like this at all. WSJ used to be very dry and direct with commentary being limited to what it means for investors. My sense is that they leave that for some of their other media outlets (MarketWatch and Barrons). I'm embarrassed to say I pay $6/month for all of these.
One of the lulzy things that has resulted from this is that the WSJ now often opines on hard hitting issues like fashion. It has basically become the NYT/Wapo of the "sensible moderate right" (aka GOPe). |

Gas is over $3. Heating oil is $4. Natural gas is up 30%. Electricity is up about the same. You can’t eat at McDonald’s for less than $15. Interest rates for house and cars are still high. I just spent $500 at the grocery store, and I did not buy that much or much of anything fancy.
Can the deep state hold off a commercial real estate collapse until after the election. Probably. Are the numbers some version of fraud lies. Yes. For a lot of reasons.
Does any of these fraud lies numbers matter short of an ITE level collapse? No.
Talk to people who work for a living. Contractors are complaining about a lack of work. Union guys are spending a lot of time not on a job. Service industry people are being squeezed even. Everyone complains about grocery prices. Everyone, even people making so much it should not matter because they know what it means for everyone else. This is all relatively new and is not going away before November nor will people forget before November.

By the way, the one thing inflation generally should mean is "increased consumer spending" (if everything costs more and you maintain your lifestyle you will spend more). The only reason that wouldn't happen is if consumers can't afford it and therefore have to cut expenses. This happens when inflation doesn't get reflected in incomes or there are major job losses. |

Date: January 24th, 2024 7:38 PM Author: big stock car school cafeteria Food at home barely rose 12/22-12/23 and fell if you remove beef. Huge drops in many categories of actual food and rising prices is in categories like frozen fruit juice. Prices in “food” overall are up mainly because restaurants and takeout are up 5+%. Food is also one of the expenses where consumers have many more tools to fight back against rising prices v eg energy and housing where they just have to eat shit.
https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/finance/price-of-food
The persisting inflation story is essentially just a housing story where boomers are sitting on SFHs because the rates are up. We will see a bizarre housing market begin later this year because rates will drop but prices won’t rise because more and more boomers (and older) will finally sell and so the supply will be rising quickly from historic lows, but the massive amount of pent up demand will not let prices fall too quickly. Rents will eventually correct but not before late 2025 or 2026. |

I haven’t seen anyone analyze how much of that is the EV credits subsidizing a higher price point for almost 10% of the market and the corresponding math on total cost of ownership when gas is factored in. Like if you were thinking about buying a 20k Honda Civic in 2020 it was probably economically rational to wait for the EV credit in 2022 and buy an EV for 27k if you’re saving $2500 or more a year in fuel costs.

No, they don't. You seem to misunderstand what "inflation easing" actually means. That means prices continue to go up, but less slowly. Inflation of 12% followed by 3% doesn't mean prices go back down to what it would be if it were 3% all along. It means you needed $1.12 to buy what was $1, then it'll cost about $1.15 to buy what was $1. To go back to $1 or even $1.03 you would need deflation and no one is suggesting that this is happening. |

I know you get my point, which is that prices will fall as people adjust their behavior and that’s already happening. If it isn’t happening, then that’s consumers telling the seller that their products were underpriced. |

Haley won non-conservatives as big as Trump won conservatives yesterday, like by 50+ points. And some 40+% of the electorate in both places is saying either that they won’t vote for him period or they won’t vote for him if he’s convicted. That kind of a massive drop is exactly how we end up with Haley as the nom out of a brokered convention and Trump winning 25% of the vote as a write in candidate.
