Walmart CEO Warns Of Deflation

From CNBC:

    On Thursday, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said deflation could be coming as general merchandise and key grocery items, such as eggs, chicken and seafood get cheaper.

    He said the retailer expects some of the stickier higher prices, such as the ones for pantry staples, to “start to deflate in the coming weeks and months,” too.

    “In the U.S., we may be managing through a period of deflation in the months to come,” he said on the company’s Thursday earnings call.” “And while that would put more unit pressure on us, we welcome it, because it’s better for our customers.”

    1. Yup. People have run out of money. The government will have a solution, though, and it will only cost us more of our freedom ... and maybe our souls.
