Ok, and I think you're "betraying an ideological point of view" when you agree there was a major inflationary force so large that "anyone with common sense" is aware of it, but fail to do the elementary math that if you had inflation X with a major inflationary event; then in the absence of the major inflationary event, inflation would almost certainly have been a lot lower. Imo, to the point of being negligible.
The price of energy is a fundamental input to the global economy. When the price of energy goes up, the price of everything goes up as a supply shock. I don't think you're a dumbass for thinking otherwise. I do think you're a dumbass for asserting whatever this mess of a post is.
Citing "a simple mathematical prediction shared widely by experts to luck" is pretty dumb as well. Economists are hardly a uniform entity. Do you truly believe I could not find an equal army of qualified experts with differing mathematical predictions?
Circling back to you think you're more qualified than Yellen, mr kroog. Look out. Bachelor of Science in economics over here. this guy wrote code!
