Peter Schiff: Dollar Decline Means Lower Inflation Is Transitory
The decline in the US dollar's purchasing power on international markets suggests that inflation may not be as under control as the mainstream perspective suggests, according to economist Peter Schiff. The dollar index fell below 100 for the first time and hit its lowest level since April 2022 last week. Schiff argues that the drop in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has primarily been driven by the strength of the dollar, which acts as a tightening mechanism. However, as the dollar weakens, it could lead to a revival of price inflation, meaning the recent cooling in CPI may be transitory.

Secure video calling is in high demand. As an alternative to Zoom, many people are using end-to-end encrypted apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal to speak to friends and family face-to-face since coronavirus lockdowns started to take place across the world. There’s another option—secure communications app Telegram just added video calling to its feature set, available on both iOS and Android. The new feature is also super secure—like Signal and WhatsApp and unlike Zoom (yet), video calls will be end-to-end encrypted.
Unlimited members in Telegram group now
Telegram has made it easier for its users to communicate, as it has introduced a feature that allows more than 200,000 users in a group chat. However, if the users in a group chat move past 200,000, it changes into "Broadcast Group", but the feature comes with a restriction. Groups with close to 200k members can be converted to a Broadcast Group that allows unlimited members. Only admins can post in Broadcast Groups, but everyone can read along and participate in group Voice Chats," Telegram added.
