If true, considering what happened with the jobs report getting someone fired, I wonder how much we can expect to hear about this reliably from the feds?

Relevant Bloomberg article "The BLS Can’t Be Replaced by the Private Sector": https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-08-08/the-bl... / https://archive.is/el7mM

It's Beginning to Smell a Lot Like Stagflation

That one is flagged, because of course.

Stagflation?

How could that happen?

When has that ever happened before?

And if it did, wouldn't any record of it have been completely compromised by now?

How would people find out about something like that anyway? It sounds so made up that's the kind of books that would be banned first if they even existed. That kind of reading could be more shocking than anything!

What do these guys know about the financial world to begin with?

Is stagflation even still a word?

Why dont you just click links and read?

My bad when Morningstar aligns with my observations in the entire article, and over-reacted a bit when I see people flagging related articles and downvoting, when you can't help but notice the pressure to ignore the signs.

I gave you all corrective upvotes but that didn't help much, I guess I just got carried away.

Sorry about that missing /s

In case people are not aware Morningstar has traditionally done some very respectable economic analysis, and this is one of them.
