Correct.

I understand that, but it is counter productive when increased demand is not the cause. When just trying to meet your daily requirements costs more, why push the prices even higher?

Just in time for Cinco De Mayo, it looks like Wall Street has coined a new insulting acronym for President Donald Trump. And like the infamous TACO, or Trump Always Chickens Out, it also has a connection to Mexican food. Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas claimed on X Wednesday that one business analyst is mocking the president’s handling of the Iran war by replacing TACO with NACHO. The acronym is more spicy than cheesy, as it bluntly stands for “Not A Chance Hormuz Opens,” a reference to Iran’s decision to restrict movement through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf where 20% of all traded oil and natural gas normally passes.

I know noting of economics, so this will no doubt highlight my ignorance, but can someone explain how, when inflation is increased by outside forces, such as the middle east crisis and the increased cost of fuel, that punishing the victims by increasing the interest rates is going to solve the problem? Surely this will only push prices, thus inflation, higher.

The Daily Show program did make it to Youtube. Here is the link.

I was just watching Jon Stewart on the Daily Show, and it was some of the funniest stuff I've seen. Video clips from the White House Correspondents Dinner. I hope it comes on Youtube. More than half the seated people cleared from the room and a woman dressed to the nines going around the tables picking up bottles of wine. An old grey headed guy in glasses, probably in his 80's, sitting at the table eating his dinner like noting was happening. Four security people herding one gov't official off the podium. while a woman on the main floor was trying to climb the four steps to the podium in high heels, reaching out for help but being ignored.. In a later press conference an interviewer was questioning Trump about the shooter she said that in his manifesto, he had said they all had to die, liars, rapists...". Trump interrupted to say "I'm not a rapist." She said "I didn't say he was referring to you." Hilarious stuff.

I know they were late, but over 100 years late?

Apparently he was a Californian teacher who travelled to Washington. Suspected target and motive unknown at this time.

"Australians" have the strong link towards Anzac Day because of the historic and family links referred to in the previous posts. However, if we moved to, say, Canada, would we adopt their historic memorials? It's easy to understand the disassociation immigrants have without the family links to the past.
