Hello, everyone. This is JVL here with my

bulwark colleague, Andrew Eger. Before we get started with all the great news about our incoming

stagflation, which we can have until the Bureau of Labor Statistics is fully taken into the Borg and stops publishing such data.

that people were very angry about. So what are,

what are we going to do, Andrew? Can we fire somebody else over at the BLS to stop these sorts of

numbers from coming out? Yeah, I mean, this is, these are really actually quite bad numbers.

But, but, but these were kind of a sloburnockery. It's not just a 3.3% increase year over year in the producer

price index. It's almost a whole percentage point up just from a month ago. And, you know,
