Ah, but they can. Indeed, they have. The die-offs and sterility have only begun.

She's a graduate of UC Berkeley and Harvard Law School, with a later fellowship at Yale. Not that our credentialing institutions are hollow or anything.

I have seen this stupid "inflation favors debtors" trope all over the world of Magic Money Theory. It is a clueless Marie-Antoinette-level rich person's view of the poor. In fact inflation favors anyone who can invest in securities and funds that will likely rise with inflation. What it discriminates against are people who have actual monetary savings including underbanked people who have no option but cash.

This idiot thinks inflation favors the poor because she thinks of her white bread friends with 150K in student loans from their Master's in Anthropology as poor. Sure it might take the edge off their student loans. It will destroy actual poor people.

It's basically true. You borrow now and pay back with inflated money.

And nobody is in more debt than the US government.

Expand full comment

Because of inflation your daily costs increase to the point where you're unable to repay debt - which continues to grow due to the high interest rates. It's eternal financial slavery to the lenders.

Unless you can hold interest rates down artificially via the Federal Reserve........

I'd say she has a room temperature IQ but I don't wish to insult those with room temperature IQs, because she couples hers with a deep vein of nastiness rarely seen in human beings who aren't named Caligula or Joe Stalin. Or Tse-tung.

Has she noticed that rich people's assets tend to rise in value with inflation? And price changes in necessities are basically irrelevant to them?

Expand full comment

If she were smart, she would notice that every time congress passes a huge bill, the rich people get free money out the ass, while 'regular people' are lucky to get anything.

And have to pay for it. Rich people don't pay taxes

This cunt probably has a higher net worth than me, and inflation is annihilating what little wealth my family has earned. Everyone I know is terrified and absolutely no one in this small farming town is "rich people."

The view from your racist bubble must be lovely, you piece of shit.

She is proof that education is failing not only on the public level but in ivy league schools as well.

Expand full comment

I've tutored/academic advised for about 10 years. Ivy league universities have not been turning out quality educations for QUITE a long time. I routinely encounter public state/city college graduates with a better body of academic knowledge.

The main thing Ivy League colleges accomplish is the consolidation of social networks and contacts that graduating students leverage for the rest of their careers. This has probably been their only major advantage over low-cost state schools for at least several decades.

I went to thoroughly unremarkable public universities through two graduate degrees and regularly encounter posh peers with a poorer knowledge base. But they sure have a lot of well-connected friends.

How convenient. Only people she follows or mentioned can reply. Such courage of her convictions. Garbage American.

Expand full comment

That's from about 5 years ago when she upset a few people with a bunch of tweets about how happy she is that whites are a "dying race" and can't wait for "mayocide" to finish the job.

Expand full comment

She's been doing that for 5 years? She's not just a garbage American. She's an entire dump.

Expand full comment

I can't begin to tell you how explosively furious I was when she got the job a few years ago, the tweets surfaced, and the NYT carried water for her, defending their position to hire her by saying that she "mimicked the vitriol of her harassers" and other choice gems.

She despises ALL white people. She's eager for "mayocide" and hopes we will "just die" already, preferably of skin cancer.

There is some kind of twisted set of definitions of "Mayocide". Can you help?

Don't forget, this is the same person who eagerly awaits "white genocide" and hopes that we all get skin cancer, and other wonderful treats.

So, if you're here, she's an utter piece of shit racist who hates you, and <50% odds would literally like you to die.

Fuck her and her opinions and her bullshit New York Times job and her bullshit communist opinions.

Yeah, my net worth is <$500,000 and I'm fucking terrified at how much more expensive everything is and how much my taxes are going up while my earnings are stagnant. I'm clearly a "rich person flipping my shit." But hey, I'm white, so I'm already scum who should just die.

Fuck Sarah Jeong forever.

She reminds me of that song... Ten little monkeys jumpin' on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, No more monkeys jumpin' on the bed.

Absolutely priceless! The New York Times will never again have the collective wit or intelligence to post anything comparable to this!

nyt is playing to a small room of deluded people.

here is a run down on the consumer goods part of the inflation:

https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/what-everyone-gets-wrong-about-the-never-ending-covid-19-supply-chain-crisis/

sort of techie but i mostly agree with dr sheffi.

i read the doe balance sheet every week, wednesdays at 1030 release. on gasoline/diesel: it don't help that usa oil drilling is down 5% and imports up 14.4% while the economy picks up and fuel stocks are sliding slowly..... that is a dept of energy and president decision. so sad opec won't lower prices and pump more!

Expand full comment

At first I thought it was a snowflake parody. Seriously. A friggin cartoon. So inflation doesn't hurt poor, hourly paid workers, and middle class people ??? I guess when your team is driving the train its all okay. It couldn't possibly be the fault of The Party or Fearless Leader.

I smelled my first NYT rat back in the '80s during the Iraq-Iran war. When Saddam was our adversary, the Iranians were presented as heroic warriors against the monster. When Saddam was our friend, the Iranians lost their glow...this was of course shocking (sorta) to me because way, way back in time, my sixth grade teacher presented the NYT as one half-step down from Divine Writ in sanctity. (Of course, she didn't tell us about Walter Duranty, so there's that...)

What racism? It's only old white men she enjoys being cruel to.

Expand full comment

Well I just learned from my liberal arts educated daughter that white people (especially white men) can’t be victims of racism. Wish we sent her to trade school. Would be $250k richer and she would likely be on her way to a six figure income with lifetime job security and a fast track to working for herself. Instead she lives with us at home, is working part-time (although she thinks it is full time!), makes sure I am aware of how unfair our meritocracy is on her way out the door to pick up her $7 Starbucks drink. Can’t wait to tell her she starts paying rent January 1st.

Expand full comment

Mr. Vandelay, re: charging daughter rent: do it! My (deceased) father-in-law used to tell the story of how the eldest daughter (born 1948 - beginnings of baby boomers) full time student and no job, started becoming "enlightened" while attending university and would run her mouth about the evils of "the man". She would criticize her parents about the size of their house, their cars, their jobs, etc., while the king-sized irony flew right over her head. Her poor father worked two jobs, mother had one, in order to keep her and her two siblings in a very nice home, good neighborhood, nice schools, nice clothes, plenty of everything. Plus, she had the audacity to keep taking certain classes over and over until she got straight As. Her perfection being paid for by dear old dad. LOL!

Well we all get old, and old is relative. So all white men then. And as she believes in gender then it includes all white women too, including the ones with penises. And as you can identify into any racial category that you want, I guess that's everyone?

A misanthrope.

So Orwellian. Exactly the opposite is true. Assets of the rich are doing great, while living costs for the rest of us are rising a lot faster than our wages.

Well, all I know is that 10 years ago I spent 100$ at the grocery store and now I spend 250$ for the exact same items. Don't take this wrong because I know how important this issue is but: Personally, I don't give a damn who's fault it is! All I know is my reality. And I'm definitely not blaming the "rich". (Hmm except for those who have become obscenely rich over the last 18 months from OUR money being transferred to them in the name of a "virus" and that's another rabbit hole entirely... sorta)

My favorite comment I see when I frequent these types of posts is "People are sick of working for so little", as if they have a realistic choice now that the UI benefits are gone.

Meanwhile, the politically connected get billions and billions rained upon them every single time DC passes a new bill. And the dollar signs are only going up.

It should be obvious what happens from here.

Expand full comment

Lack of political diversity is political corruption, and the NYT as many other places in America have a leftist majority.

Any place where leftists have majority is politically compromised: Universities, Big Tech companies, Media, public institutions and government agencies.

When all key social structures are controlled by a single political force the the society is totalitarian by definition.
