Okay, so Texas is turning into the Gates of Hell for the rest of my trip. ☀️🔥 This state is too damn hot.

Crammed into a house with five other people and two dogs. Enjoying a rare bit of quiet before everyone wakes up. Thinking about how a fifth of Germans live alone. Only a tenth of Americans do, but they make up a third of households. That is actually why there's a housing crisis, which is finally being solved naturally by all of us moving in together and other people dying off and leaving houses vacant. All of the financial shenanigans meant to make housing cheaper just artificially raised demand, which pushed up prices further. Until they were so high that demand declined and prices began to fall. Ironic.

I think most people concerned with monetary inflation don't realize how little most people care about monetary inflation. What they care about is consumer price inflation (the cost of butter, gasoline, meat) and asset price inflation (the cost of housing, mostly, as people need homes to live in). Consumer price inflation and asset price inflation can be accelerated by monetary price inflation, but the normies are right to associate the sudden, disturbing jumps and falls in prices to supply/demand shocks, and _not_ to overall monetary inflation. That is why central banks fiddling with interest rates has no effect on the price of gasoline at the station; that price is taxes, fees, fracking licenses, and supply interruptions, not the national debt or the interest on 10-year bunds.
