Пока ФРС печатает сотни миллиардов долларов и рассказывается байки, что экономика США стагнирует, потому что "инфляция слишком мала" (у Сталина, замечу, мощнейшее развитие экономики и рост уровня жизни простых людей прекрасно сочетались с дефляцией - она является проблемой исключительно в ростовщической модели "развития") во внутреннем письме ФРС сообщает, "что цены продолжат рост в диапазоне 3%-33%", реагируя на рост цен на рынке - про рост цен в кафе, где питаются сами же сотрудники ФРС:
Subject: Reserve Center Cafe changes coming
Reserve CenterTM Tenants,
Due to rising product prices in the past several years, The Reserve Center will increase its prices in the cafeteria effective May 27.
Over the past five years, many of you may have experience product price increases in grocery stores. Prices continue to rise between 3% – 33%. For the past eight years, The Reserve Center has been absorbing these increases. The last overall price increase in The Reserve Center cafeteria took place in 2006, followed by a limited increase on sugar-based products in 2012.
For the upcoming price increase, a thorough review of café items was conducted and, while some prices will remain flat, others will increase to recognize these market increases. The price increase will help The Reserve Center cafeteria continue to maintain high standards and service levels by providing quality products.
Another change includes the introduction of new menu program changes to provide greater variety as we continue to refresh the cafeteria menu offerings. In the following months, we will be distributing a survey to obtain feedback on these new menu changes, as well as your food preferences so that we can continue to tailor menu offerings based on input we receive from our customers.
Lastly, we've reviewed feedback and in response The Reserve Center cafeteria will now close at 1:30 p.m. on Fridays. However, July 11 tahrough Aug. 29 we will close at 1 p.m. as the traffic is lighter due to vacations.
Thank you for your continued support of The Reserve Center cafeteria.
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
