22:23 awt billymg: No recent news. But not clear raising interest rates will help with inflation caused by deglobalization.
22:25 billymg awt: right, what does raising interest rates do in the face of russia and china dumping dollars
22:27 awt Also - more expensive to make antibiotics in North/South America, Cars, Electronics, etc.

22:44 billymg "So sorry, problem at container port, must wait for product!"
22:45 billymg i wonder if when CPI is calculated they use MSRP or the price you pay scalpers to actually get the thing you want
22:52 awt It's hard to believe they even released the fake 8.5% number

23:41 shinohai My previous lappy was an HP, battery swelled in little over a year of use. Simply tossed it since for around a hundy more than the battery cost I could simply buy new lappy.
