  6. "The yen's strength continues to decline, falling below what it was 56 years ago, as purchasing power declines," reports Jiji.com. Here are my thoughts: This clearly shows the government's incompetence. Japan is a resource-poor island nation. If purchasing power falls, people will be unable to make a living. Politicians and the wealthy may not be affected, but ordinary citizens will. #purchasingpower #yendecline jiji.com/jc/article?k=20260425

  14. A new way to measure poverty shows the US falling behind Europe.

    The time needed to earn $1 in international dollars is 63 minutes in the US. This is about twice the average in Germany, France and the UK according to an Oxford University researcher.

    This suggests that average poverty is significantly higher in the US.

  19. In the fall of 1972, when campaigning for a second term in office, 🇺🇸 U.S. President Richard Nixon announced that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing, which has been noted as "the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection."

    This means that the "jerk (3rd derivative)" of the price level is negative.

    Equivalently, the "jerk" of purchasing power is positive.

    In other words, the "acceleration" of inflation is negative.

    \[I(t)=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm dP(t)}{\mathrm dt}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt}>0\]

    \[\dfrac{\mathrm dI(t)}{\mathrm dt}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2P(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}>0\]
    \[\dfrac{\mathrm d^2I(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3P(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}<0\]

    where, \(I(t)\), \(P(t)\), and \(\Pi(t)\) are inflation (rate), price level (function), and purchasing power of money (or simply value of money) at time \(t\) respectively. And \(\alpha^2\) and \(\beta^2\) are positive real constants.

  20. «Inflation is trending down. But #earnings have generally grown slower than #inflation, resulting in a loss of #PurchasingPower for consumers. (...) #CreditCard #debt reached a staggering $1.3 trillion in the second quarter of 2023. This is not sustainable. At some point soon, consumer spending will have to slow. And given that consumer spending represents about two-thirds of total #GDP, a #recession could still occur.»
