>Inflation was an issue for a while, but a lot of that seemed to be driven more by temporary supply constraints in certain sectors than any actual currency devaluation, and inflation already seems to be dying down anyway.

Man, this attitude is terrible. My life and all of my colleagues lives have been completely flipped upside down by this inflation. This comment just donwplaying it as a non-issue made me really angry. How out of touch are you? I can barely afford groceries anymore. And not the organic kind - the bottom basement price chopped discount kind.

I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect. I agree inflation is a very real issue, my comment only meant to question whether it's going to continue to be a long-term issue and whether it's an indicator of a broader economic downturn or not.
