i can't believe that you're still twisting and still trying to spin yourself out of the muddle you've put yourself in.Graham_Devon wrote: »You'd like me to ask again?
Shall we start again? No, I wont bother, just read page 7 and 8.
Chucky says:
That would suggest that because inflation happens, chucky see's enough wage inflation not only to keep up with general inflation, but also to push house prices up.
Now, it doesn't take a genius to work out that thats a helluva lot of wage inflation chucky is talking about.
and to be clear i didn't say there would be "enough wage inflation not only to keep up with general inflation, but also to push house prices up." you're lying and you've made that up.
i said there could be enough wage inflation for nominal rises that are less than inflation - Post 157 shows how you can nominal HPI with real house price fals with wage inflation.
stop lying and just admit you where wrong.
i can't believe you didn't know what wage inflation was pmsl0 -

I know you didn't say it.
If you had, we wouldn't have had 2 pages of the same question asking if thats what your suggesting, genius boy

so you've been arguing for the last 8 pages when you haven't got a clue what wage inflation is - typical :rotfl:Graham_Devon wrote: »I know you didn't say it.

I answered you pretentious cretin.
So Graham, your take????????????????????????????????????????
I won't wait.
Hey now, calm down. You've answered, I've accepted your answer. Job done.
My take? Wage inflation won't keep up with the pace of general inflation.
Could be right could be wrong. But I don't see companies ready to pay out massive wage rises right now, or indeed, anywhere in the near future. Simple.0 -
OK guys, you have had some fun. Now this is a snippet about inflation which may help.
Chaotic Inflation, proposed by physicist Andrei Linde, models our universe as one of many that grew as part of a multiverse owing to a vacuum that had not decayed to its ground state. In this theory, the peaks in the evolution of a scalar field (determining the energy of the vacuum) correspond to regions of rapid inflation which dominate, creating "bubble universes," making the structure of space fractal on the very largest scales, likely at scales larger than the observable universe. Chaotic Inflation (along with some other types of inflation) is usually a sub-class of eternal inflation, since the expansion of the inflationary peaks exhibit positive feedback and come to dominate the large scale dynamics of the universe.
I hope it helps.

Neither do I.
But you kind of miss the point of the article when you say that. It is based on a QE lead boom causing inflation.
If companies don't inflate wages the situation won't happen.0 -
that's my take too.Graham_Devon wrote: »Hey now, calm down. You've answered, I've accepted your answer. Job done.

the article thinks otherwise though...
