Chamath Palihapitiya：美国正面临严重的供应链中断和劳动力短缺问题，这并非短期现象，而是长期结构性问题。劳动力短缺导致工资上涨，物价上涨，通货膨胀风险持续存在。他认为，自动化技术是解决劳动力短缺和通货膨胀问题的关键。他还建议美国应该采用计分制移民系统，以吸引高技能人才。 David Sacks：全球供应链堵塞至少需要一年时间才能解决，在此期间物价持续上涨。美联储面临着控制通货膨胀与避免经济衰退的难题。劳动力成本上涨将加速自动化进程，这可能最终导致通货紧缩。企业将通过整合供应链来应对供应链中断。他认为，适度的通货膨胀对经济是有益的，但高通胀和供应链危机是严重的风险。美国政府债务规模庞大，这限制了美联储应对通货膨胀的政策空间。如果利率上升到正常水平，美国政府的债务服务支出将大幅增加，这将对经济造成严重影响。美联储在控制通货膨胀和维持政府财政稳定之间面临着艰难的选择。 David Friedberg：供应链问题导致商品交付延迟，影响企业营收。他认为，通货膨胀将损害中产阶级利益，并指出美国经济可能面临类似于20世纪70年代末80年代初的滞胀局面。他认为，提高工资是解决劳动力短缺的更直接有效的方法，而不是增加移民。他还认为，信息传播的便捷性将导致社会规范的改变，并促进更开放的对话。 Chamath Palihapitiya: The US is facing serious supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, which are not short-term phenomena but long-term structural problems. Labor shortages are leading to wage increases, price increases, and persistent inflation risks. He believes that automation technology is the key to solving labor shortages and inflation. He also suggests that the US should adopt a points-based immigration system to attract high-skilled talent. David Sacks: Global supply chain congestion will take at least a year to resolve, during which time prices will continue to rise. The Fed faces the difficult task of controlling inflation and avoiding a recession. Rising labor costs will accelerate automation, which could ultimately lead to deflation. Businesses will respond to supply chain disruptions by integrating their supply chains. He believes that moderate inflation is beneficial to the economy, but high inflation and the supply chain crisis are serious risks. The large size of the US government debt limits the Fed's policy space to deal with inflation. If interest rates rise to normal levels, the US government's debt service payments will increase significantly, which will have a serious impact on the economy. The Fed faces a difficult choice between controlling inflation and maintaining government fiscal stability. David Friedberg: Supply chain problems are causing delays in the delivery of goods, affecting corporate revenue. He believes that inflation will harm the interests of the middle class, and points out that the US economy may face a stagflation similar to the late 1970s and early 1980s. He believes that raising wages is a more direct and effective way to solve labor shortages than increasing immigration. He also believes that the ease of information dissemination will lead to changes in social norms and promote more open dialogue.
