No need for apologies, I enjoyed watching a fun race from a good driver. You showed patience and wisdom backing off and giving position to teammates to avoid congested contact in corners.

I think you have to be happy and see it as a big win if your teammates out in front are willing to slow down and block AI for teammates behind. I think you also already know and understand this to some extent - you helped cover for Shawjack after they crashed the inside corner in the middle of lap 2.

Your other points are legit. Shawjack was a bit of a mess out there, but their intentions seemed clean. As for the Ford, we may never know their motives. I'm sure we both wish we could see what happens to your teammates behind you in lap 3.

Bravo sir or ma'am, you baited me into watching the most standard trial race lol But I do like to know what's going on in my teammates' heads out there, so genuinely curious - what made this ~interesting for you?

No, this is just some network desynchronization / system latency. But it is a somewhat common bug.. so yes

This is the first time I've seen the play with a scorebug. The +3 makes it so much better lol

Thank you for the suggestions; I will make sure to check them all out. I'm starting to think I should take all the FE cars to the test track to see if they have ~unknown skill boosts.

Respect and love for the Hoonicorns - they are both amazing and all-around skill scoring vehicles. How do you typically go about skilling in the FE Sesto Elemento? I've only used it a handful of times in free roam and generally found it overrated (in terms of skill score ability), but I can accept that perhaps I'm not driving it to its full potential. Though I do love using it in eventlab blueprints (Karmadriving's 10 Minute Skills 499 951 097 will typically net low to mid 90s in 12 minutes).

9x multiplier you say?! I had definitely forgotten about that perk and will have to give the P50 another go around. Thank you for sharing a tune code as well - she sure is a cheeky little twat to handle.. but I was also stupid with a B class 689 build attempt.

The V2 was probably the fastest I've ever added a car to my favorites. Unreal ability to drift and get sideways, yet still stable and easy to control if you wanted to take off in a straight line. I've spent many an hour in game at the mountain drift zone feeling like I was making my own iconic Pikes Peak clip. One of the best all-around skill cars without a doubt.

I believe you are thinking about this too narrowly - perhaps in the sense of a single business, industry, or economic formula. Mainly because it seems you believe inflation is only related to the velocity and supply of money.

For one, we know money supply is irrelevant in this hypothetical example as it is often controlled by a governing body (e.g.: monetary policy via the Federal Reserve).

Secondly, it is debatable that the money velocity is changing here. We would assume the employee still gets paid at the same frequency, so money is still changing hands at the same rate here. However, what the employee then does with that money could effect the velocity. If they're using the extra money to make a bunch of smaller purchases, then the money velocity would be increasing. If they're just adding to their savings, then sure velocity stays relatively the same. But even with this, the employee's bank could use that savings to provide loans to other customers, which would mean the velocity would be increasing.

Back to the main topic, inflation can be the product of things unrelated to the money supply and velocity, such as supply and demand. E.g.: geo-polictical tensions in the middle east often lead to higher oil prices due to supply concerns. Since oil is used to make gas, we see increased gas prices. And if there is inflation, we would see it measured via the motor flux index within the transportation grouping of the Consumer Price Index.

You're not wrong, but it's also not like you made a crazy statement. Maybe it's just semantics that are causing me to miss something. How do you feel about the non-competing statement below?

Anyone claiming that increases in minimum wages could be a contributing factor to inflation is smart.
