Background:
'US inflation surging to a level not seen for more than 30 years'
'Pressure on America’s central bank to raise interest rates has intensified after rising energy costs, supply shortages and increased consumption sent US inflation surging to a level not seen for more than 30 years.
Although the Federal Reserve has repeatedly insisted price pressures will prove “transitory”, financial markets were taken aback by a ➡️6.2%⬅️ increase in the cost of living in the world’s biggest economy over the past year.
A labor department report released on Wednesday showed prices rose by 0.9% in October alone – more than double the 0.4% jump in September – to push the annual rate of inflation to its highest level since December 1990, a time when global oil prices had risen sharply due to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.'

Professor Campbell Harvey of Duke University in May 2020:
'Campbell Harvey: It is obvious that the risk of inflation has increased. When I say “risk of inflation,” I mean, risk of inflation that’s above a level that we’re comfortable with. Inflation could go up by 3% and that could be good news if you start at minus one. You go from minus one to two, that’s just basically the economic engine revving up. ➡️When you go from two to above five, you start to get worried. We all know that inflation, once it gets to a high level, is painful to get it under control.'⬅️

And Blabbermouth wants us to realize he was right on top of it:
