the grinch arrived early, that is the consensus at bloomberg intelligence. looking at the friday numbers of u.s. consumer sentiment, whether or not inflation is transitory, it is clear some of these figures are starting to seep into the psyche of the american consumer and the risk is at which point does it start to pull back on demand and become a self-fulfilling prophecy when it comes to higher inflation? manus: absolutely. i'm going to be trashy and still the headline, because i won't sing a christmas carol just yet, but the grinch arrived early. i do a christmas rendition but we are still in november. therein lies the point, tim clark, the ceo of emirates, thinks it will rollover next year. he is a real person who runs a real company with real things, real planes that i traveled on. he thinks it will rollover, the back end of next year. that confidence number, there is a risk for that confidence number, danny. -- dani. the bond market convulsed last week, and that has the capacity, that is volatility ratcheting higher but it isn't the liquidity that shock

the manager and owner of this fine establishment said it is like the grinch is trying to step in and steal christmas, still the holidays. how tough is it? >> it's been a little harder this year. a lot of things with the trees themselves, we had the issue, dropping one pager one. we won't get those big tree in until next year when they've had a refresh from all the rains they got this last couple months. the shortages of labor, people not wanting to work has spiked the tree prices up north as well as gas prices. in all the freight charges bringing tree south, we still have a big selection, they've just gone up my percent to try 5% this year. reporter: last year around the holidays, this tree will cost what? >> this would cost a hundred 1999. >> this would've now it's a $30 increase. as far as prices go we are going to try to get them down next year if freight goes back down. it's just kind of wait and see. >> we heard on the news a few days ago there might be a tree shortage. we were like we gotta get ours right away, day after thanksgiving. reporter: we know they're more expensive, y

this is to see what they are doing to make sure that the grinch stays away from your holiday gift-giving. >> reporter: this united states postal facility sorts all of the mail for all of the south bay and in december of last year alone, they did 4 million packages. it will be easier for us to gather safely with friends and family in person but the u.s. postal service still ramping up for a lot of volume. they are hiring more than 40,000 employees nationwide. they are also adding more sorting facilities space and they are seeing an earlier rush as people get that message to get started early. >> for last year alone for the month of december, we processed over 4 million packages here. and this year alone, for every day, our projection is at least almost 200,000 packages. >> so here some are usps package shipping deadlines. december 15th will get you there if you go ground. december 17th is the deadline for first class packages. december 18th priority. and december 23rd, you'll still get your packages there, but you'll pay for that priority express delivery and you might have to stress just

here's a grinch bringing mass shortages, delivery delays on record breaking inflation. inflation hurts americans pocket books and reversing this trend is a top priority for me, the largest share of the increase in prices and this report is due to rising energy costs. so the president would be tang king ratings and angry voters has conveniently found the guilty party energy. and it's true that prices have thought, in fact a 3rd of americans have to skip a cut back on necessities like food and medicine to pay that energy bills in recent months. you'd think that wouldn't you, that it wouldn't be the best time to even talk about shopping yet and not the pipeline as we enter the winter months and temperatures drop across the midwest, determination of the michigan or pipeline will undoubtedly further exacerbate shortages and price increases in home heating fuels at the time when americans are already facing rapidly, rising energy prices, steep home heating costs, global supply shortages and skyrocketing gas prices. just the latest and a long line of non fans of biden's energy policy. no pipe

some people might say you are the grinch that wants to stop christmas. yeah, well, like everybody, we are all desperate for that normality, we all love christmas, it is just about keeping those around us safer. infection rates in the east riding currently stand at a83 cases per 100,000 people, but when it comes to primary school age children, that arises to 1000 per 100,000 people. health officials fear children could pass on covid to the rest of their families. no—one here wants another lockdown christmas. my son, he is two next month and he has basically missed out on the first two years of life because of covid so this year is kind of a special christmas for us to go and see family, so if there was a lockdown, it would be pretty devastating for us. i think if everyone does their bit, i think we should be ok. - it is here now, isn't it? it is not going anywhere so it is a case of learning to live with it. you have just got to be careful. i think, because it keeps raising its ugly head because people are just not careful. parents who have not been vac

the democrats do not want to be the ones that are being called the grinch as people cannot get their shopping done in time, that your thanksgiving or christmas meal is going to cost more, and that is what they are speaking to. lisa: for your christmas tree from home depot. just talking about td securities and its outlook, one of the other lines is that chair powell's future isn't certain, and we think new fed appointments will have a dovish skew. is that correct? does this administration, given some of the inflationary concerns, what this federal reserve to be perhaps on hold for longer, even if that means higher long-term rates that affect the cbo score, that affect their spending plans? annmarie: we don't know yet. all we know is comments from lael brainard, from chair powell over the course of the year. we have not dealt with this level of inflation while these individuals were in their positions, so we don't know how they are going to act. what we do know is that both governor brainard and jay powell view the labor market and inflation as they should be working in tandem, where t

version and getting every house democrat to vote for it but one, now it will be joe manchin to be the grinch if he chooses to do so. that will be a tough call for him. but i think the reality, if this bill does make it through the senate, does make it through joe manchin's stripping elements out of it including potentially that, and make it back to the house, you're talking about something that is too big to fail for democrats and too close to the finish line to fall apart then. i think the house will ultimately have to pass whatever joe manchin's version of the build back better bill ends up being whenever they get it. could be next year. >> jake, they're fighting over money, they're fighting over a lot of money in the build back better plan. there's also a lot of money in the ndaa which is also -- any discussion about, i don't know, is anyone in congress threatening on holding up the ndaa or pulling money out of that to pay for this? >> no, of course not. but the ndaa has passed every year for the last 60 years. this is a massive piece of legislation that doesn't only control spending but
