So, let's drop the "extreme"...how about 11% per year, instead? Just like this last year...

Note, by the by, that the inflation rate in Germany post WW1 was around 300% per MONTH! Yes, it can happen.

And yes, there are people who would be delighted to make it happen - pretty much everyone who calls for mandatory wage increases, for example. Because the people calling for mandatory wage increases NEVER think that price increases will, more or less automatically, will go along with the wage increases....

because people will have more money to spend, stimulating the economy.

By this logic, increasing all wages by a factor of 10 would give us a paradise on Earth.

Note that that actually gives us 900% annual inflation, in the Real World (tm). Trust me, bad as you may think things are now, a year or three of 900% annual inflation would make you look back fondly at the good old days of the Great Depression....

Everyone who wished they were alive to enjoy the Apollo missions: This Is BIGGER !

I was alive to enjoy the Apollo missions. And, yes, this is bigger. Looking forward to the third flight, I am. Once is chance, twice is lucky, three times is starting to look like a lot of things becoming obsolete overnight (like SLS, for instance).

And no private business is not more efficient.

SpaceX.

This court has arguably stood out in outlawing historical liberties. Abortion.

No, this court hasn't outlawed abortion. What it said was that abortion isn't covered by the US Constitution, and therefore isn't the Federal government's business. Any State can ban abortion, any State can allow it.

IMHO, abortion SHOULD be covered by the Constitution, but I'm neither God nor President, so my opinion is irrelevant.

Note that all it takes is one Supreme replaced (because it's unlikely in the extreme that the same Court will change it's mind without a helluva good argument, which they won't get) plus a new abortion case reaching the Supremes to reverse that particular ruling.

So, 12 years of nuclear disaster causes almost as many deaths as ONE DAY of traffic deaths.

And what evidence is there that Chernobyl has caused two million deaths? A quick googling shows less than a million AFFECTED (not killed)...

DAILY traffic deaths exceed the total deaths from Chernobyl, Fukushima, and TMI.

Nuclear is old, failed and obsolete. Of course, the right-wing assholes always associate "nueclear" with "might" (because contrary to what some liars like to claim of course the only real reason ever for nuclear power was the possibility to make the bomb and no) and will not let go.

Or not. Historically, nuclear power (including TMI (no deaths), Fukushima (1 death), and Chernobyl (a couple hundred deaths, maybe) is cleaner than coal, gas, hydro, solar (yeah, the average number of deaths annually from solar is higher than the average number of deaths from Chernobyl annually), wind (and yes, more people get killed building those big windmills every year than nuclear produces), and traffic (total deaths from TMI, Fukushima, and Chernobyl (in all of history) are lower than the average number of deaths driving to and from work DAILY (in the USA only, mind you) - yes, your car is deadlier than nuclear power, by several orders of magnitude...

If, on the other hand, the President decides to **poof** some more money into existence then inflation is going to be with us a while.

Note that prices are NEVER going back down to where they were before the President created $2.2T out of thin air. Mostly because, while inflation is bad, deflation is worse....

How much of our current inflation crisis is caused by higher energy prices due to the Ukrainian conflict?

Not as much as was caused by the President creating $2.2T last year.

Never, ever forget that inflation is all about increasing the money supply without increasing the supply of things that you can buy with money. And increasing the money supply by 11% just because you want to spend that much is a textbook case of inflation.

Yeah, because "bomb 'em" has worked so well in the past

Hmm, seems to me that it worked pretty well back in the early '40s. Certainly Germany and Japan have behaved pretty well since '45....

Because China might decide to interfere with Japan installing offshore wind farms?

After all, China is willing to play games with Taiwan, why should they refrain from playing games with Japan?

One of these days. Hopefully before I die of old age.
