American taxpayers are paying less and less taxes 
Chinese are the fools 
that are supporting the luxurious American lifestyle because they bought fixed rate US Treasury bonds.

Rising energy costs are lifting the prices of key materials and intensifying inflation, compounding supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic.
Supply chain disruptions are not caused by the pandemic, are caused by the panicky response.
Fed to be more aggressive? It may backfired. Can we ignore opinions of those who don’t understand systems? In general, Fed can only use monetary policies!

How Surging Used-Car Prices Are Turning Vehicles Into a Profitable Investment

The main sticking point is the half of a day necessary to charge an EV versus a 3 minute trip to a gas station. Just not practical for most people. Even Tesla superchargers take nearly an hour to give you enough juice to get anywhere and there are hardly any of them. One for every 160 gas stations.
…and it looks like the ICE cost basis assumes only 25.7 mpg. There are affordable alternatives, even in an AWD smaller SUV, that get 35 to 40mpg.
