> Inflation and cost of living has been the only story for over a year. Everything I just said-which is why inflation is so high
Everything you said has been true more than a year ago, while inflation and cost of living were not as high as they have been for the past year. So it does not follow that the things you mentioned are the cause of high inflation.

> the following is 100% true: 1. there are more people currently employed than at any point in U.S. history 2. wages are higher than at any point in U.S. history 3. GDP is at the highest point in U.S. history 4. about 11 million jobs have been added to the economy in the last 21 months
100% true but also incomplete: cost of living is higher than ever.

The right mentality according to recruiters is one that assumes every member of the public is a threat until proven otherwise.

By "they" you mean the host country of the conference, Egypt in this case?
In case you don't: it's usually not the people going to a conference who do the logistics of that conference.

Right, because we know that investors totally are not a major influence on big corporation's business direction and their primary motivation is money, not good products - just so long as they can get away with that.
