No kidding, I wouldn't want to go to a Hard Rock Casino either, idk why they do it

Can't be right, when recessions come and go the yield curve univerts and steepens and the fed cuts rates many percent. Hasn't happened yet, we're going lower.

Cannabis flowers (the part humans smoke) are not pollinated by pollinators

They are wind pollinated, much like corn

So the flowers are not evolved to look appealing to pollinators, like a tulip or whatever, and instead they evolved to disperse and catch windborne pollen. Which is why the marijuana 'buds' are shaped the way they are. It's the female flower that is hairy to catch the pollen from the air.

Corn also has weird flowers for similar reasons (the corn 'strings' play a similar role).

For the leaf shape... idk, no idea, but there are other species with somewhat similar leaves

And idk for sure, but there are theories the THC was acquired from bacteria. That the plant cell absorbed a bacterium similarly to the chloroplast endiosymbiosis theory, and then the bacterial DNA found its way into the plant DNA. Which is fascinating. No idea if this is resolved or not. If you don't know what I'm talking about look up the chloroplast endosymbiosis theory, it's amazing.

Producer prices and transport prices in the west are also higher. It's harder to sell cheaply. Worker wages, more regulation, etc.

It is not possible to sell cheap stuff in the west at a profit, just try, you will fail, there is competition.

We are not accepting it, nobody can afford it anymore, demand is being destroyed and company earnings are falling. Prices will eventually go down, but they were not super high because of a scam or gouging or price fixing, the market price just rose because of high demand and high production cost, worker shortage, energy prices, etc, it had nothing to do with choice or preference or culture

Assuming political leadership will be logical and rational is a VERY big assumption, in any country

The stupidest thing about the graph is that all the projections have the inflation nicely levelling off above zero at 2% as if the fed has any clue what the fuck they are doing.

Inflation can come down soon, but only if things are so fucked that we overshoot to the downside.

The idea that we can have a controlled disinflation to 2% is total BS. I think inflation goes down, but there's no way these clowns can control it to 2%, if it starts dropping to 2% it's gonna keep going.

They're not gonna successfully control it by reducing demand, they are either gonna let it remain way too high or destroy the financial system and spike the dollar to the moon, there's no in between for these clowns.
