>Even if Fed policy works, and prices for goods come down
The fed doesn't want prices to come down (i.e., deflation). The fed wants "stable prices" (i.e., disinflation). The fed wants the rate of inflation to come down to 2%.
>Can this mindset become a self-fulfilling prophecy with respect to the recession? Could this lead to some sort of deflationary spiral? Have there been examples of bolstered consumer spending without having some meaningful deflation on essential goods?
The [deflationary spiral](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deflationary-spiral.asp) mindset is where prices are deflating, and people see that, but rather than buy at cheaper prices, they wait for even cheaper prices, and this loop repeats as prices continue to fall.

The P:E of the S&P 500 is somewhere around 20.
The P:E of GameStop is somewhere around… 1,000.
I think it’s the only non-R&D company in the world in that range.
Ez buy $63 worth of lube and go to the nearest Wendy’s dumpster. If you can get $100 for S a D and $250 for what requires lube, you can earn it back. 5S a D and 2 😖 per day/ that’s $1k. So do that for 10 days.
