Everyone is losing money today. There is no safe investment to park the money. Local economies are always strong, especially the way they are highly diversified in the years since 2008.

The chart shows a steadily increasing inflation rate. The rate significantly increased in January 2017. If that was a single line graph it would be consistently rising over the past 24 months. In the days of QE, it was stated "...sooner or later..." Wall Street will have to pay for free money.

When Jeep provided $2000 bonuses to their employees, it could have been to combat inflation at the consumer level.

With inflation creeping higher and higher the USA dollar has fallen dramatically over the past year. With the US Dollar falling in value, that means "asset capital" is not worth the same as when it was assessed. The inflation is not stopping. 

The cryptocurrencies are falling precipitously, too. There is basically a selloff of these digital currencies.
