Sherm:
With regards to your discussions with guests about the various flavors of ‘flation’, one noticeable (to me at least) term was not mentioned; namely the ‘stag’ variety. While this may seem to be nit picking, I have vivid memories of the 70’s where many were saying we don’t have inflation, but rather stagflation. Thus, at the time, it was a ‘beast’ deserving of it’s own name. If I may suggest, please consider this as a possible topic for discussion with whatever future guest(s) you may think appropriate.
Cordially,
Tony
Hi Tony….we have discussed the phenomenon of stagflation, inflation, deflation, disinflation at various times on the NBH.
Stagflation is not a fat deer,
Deflation means no foam on your beer.
There’s no inclination
To bring back inflation,
Disinflation? Maybe yes, maybe no,for this year.

Hi Sherm,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Many more thanks for filling me in of what I have missed.
You can bet your best microphone I’ll be looking at deer and
beer from a whole new perspective.
As for inflation, my Internet access fee was recently increased 20%
Hate to imagine how much it might have increased if there was inflation.
Cordially,
Tony
