Inflation for necessities is over 100% on many items.
Thats the intent. Force people into the lower quality ‘foods’ for several reasons. Less nutritional foods makes you more sickly and less energetic, easier to control, less likely to revolt.
The high prices on real food makes the fake shit gates’n companies are brewing easier to transition the People towards. The fake shit turned people off and nobody bought it, except for prog brain deads, so they shelve it for a while. Once food prices are off the charts, they’ll reintroduce the fake shit and the People will buy it.
Those scum know you cannot do without food, so they’ll continue robbing you as much as they are able to, before people revolt and burn these asswipes out. Evil knows no mercy and cares little about what you think is fair. They mean to destroy you, slowly. These scum feed on others misery. When will the People return the favour?!?
I posted this in April.
I make a big batch of New Mexico chili numerous time in winter.
It cost about $35 for many many years. Last time I made it the ingredients
were $75. I made a batch yesterday it was over $80.
For you maff experts, that’s over 100% increase from last year.
The ingredients are not remotely exotic. Onions, pork, pinto beans
and roasted chilis are the main ingredients. Some chicken broth and garlic,
a dash of cumin, soy sauce and a can of lager beer about round it out.
$80.
FJB.
Coach Prime Artist-
My Liberty Mutual insurance renewal came in the mail today. Looking at a 24% increase in premium. For an 18 year old SUV and a 6 year old VW Tiguan.
50% in our area.
CPA!
I’m stealing that!
Coach Prime is a pile of fun.
Go Buffs!
Mine went up at least that for a 2003 Suburban and a 2005
Mercedes 320 wagon. FJB.
Thank the car gods I maintained my vehicles meticulously all
these years.
All I knew of Coach Prime until recently was the flashy lifestyle, etc. But he is an incredible leader and a man of substance. Watch his hall of fame induction speech to understand why he does what he does. Get used to winning again.
And even with over 100% inflation we are still experiencing shrinkflation too.
20 lb bag of charcoal (cheap off brand stuff) that was $5.99 is now 14 lbs for $6.99
Surprise Surprise. I said this years ago. Things on the bottom of Maslow Hierarchy of Needs pyramid would go up a lot while those at the top of the pyramid will go down or disappear completely.
Sure you did.
Another told-you-so-years-ago who never discloses
the predictions they got wrong.
I was wrong about it being years before we’d get Gulf shrimp after the Deepwater Horizon thing in ’10.
My wife never lets me forget that prediction gone amok.
Henri (are you in France?). I can back Anonymous up. He did say it.
Also, I was wrong one time: I thought I’d been wrong, but I’d actually been right.
I’ll self-report a prediction I got wrong this year: Damar Hamlin. I thought that there was no way he’d ever play again, and yet he played 18 special teams snaps on Sunday.
I predicted in ‘16 that Hillary would be dead by now.
The Matrix is carefully constructed around us brick by brick. Insidious. So you don’t even realize it’s there. After reading about ” The Fed ” and THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND, about the real cause of inflation , I saw a glitch in the programming.
A re-run of Little House on The Prairie was on. Mama Ingles was in the general store complaining about the inflation. Coffee was 12 cents a pound , Oh my !
That show was set in PRE 1913 , pre central bank times. It was filmed , written in the inflation of the 1970’s. THEY WROTE ‘INFLATION’ INTO THE SCRIPT to make the ignorant public think that it has always been there , thus it has ” always been this way .”
How very slick and sneaky.
Are you suggesting there were no price inflationary periods before 1913?
Prices based on supply and demand or lunacy like the Tulip Mania were temporary phenomenon. From Colonial times until 1913 prices in specie remained fairly constant. From 1913 on, charts will show a noticeable uptick and from 1971 a hockey stick showing massive inflation.
It’s pretty hard for Traitor Joe and his “groundbreaking black lesbian “press secretary” to lie their way through the TRUTH the rest of us are LIVING!!!
Seems pretty easy for those with government authority. Government money spends for them like always.
I’m sure you all know this, but CPI doesn’t measure inflation. It’s a political tool to limit increases in gov benefits.
Shadowstats if you want to see real numbers.
The Biden regime has revised numbers from the previous month every month. There has been no growth and massive inflation combined with massive cost increases from crackpot regulations increasing the cost of anything these shitheads set their sights on.
Obviously food , energy and housing is important to the average American. They only care about I-phones and latte’s. ( sarc)
Believe your lying eye’s or the government? Bidenomics hard at work and your lying eyes for proof.
If in doubt. When you go shopping, take a pic of the product and pricing.
In a month, take pics of the same products and compare. simple and verifiable for anyone to see for themselves whats happening.
( CNBC be like experts and stuff. )
I recently ran across a video produced by CNBC back in July 2020. It is titled “Why Printing Trillions of Dollars May Not Cause Inflation.”
That aged poorly, didn’t it? – Zerohedge
This is what happens when you double the price of fuel.
It takes fuel to raise the food, fuel to harvest it, fuel to transport it to market, fuel to process it, fuel to package it, fuel to transport it to distribution centers & fuel to transport it to stores.
I here tell that coal plants for electricity are endangered and new petroleum refineries are disallowed in the USSA. The Fabian kill will be so slow and sweet we won’t even feel it unless it’s on the news for the gripping drama.
The largest car charging location in the US is powered by huge diesel generators. FJB.
I’m heading to my nieces wedding. The amount of trucks
on the road is astonishing. Diesel is pretty much $5 a gallon
at every truck stop. 120-150 gallons a fill up.
$750 to gas up.
When I drive west on I-40, between W. Memphis & Little Rock, the truck traffic is non-stop. This is the Houston – Dallas – St. Louis – Chicago route
I don’t know what you plebs be talk’n’bout. I can’t give away muh penthouse in NYC for anything over $1 million.
How the fuck does that even make sense?
A friend’s family sold their original vacation home in Vail several years ago
on 1/4 acre for $19 million as a tear down. But Judge Bozo in NY
Says DJT committed fraud on the valuation of Mar-A-Lago because
it’s 20 acre beach front mansion complex is only worth $18 million.
We are supposed to believe this. The loft I bought in Jersey City for
$100K in 1985 (and I sold for $225k 7 years later) just sold for $4.5 million.
I do wish I’d kept it and rented it out.
Rush Limbaugh’s nearby compound, a fraction of the size sold for $150 million.
An undeveloped 1 acre tract full of trees a few hundred yards down the beach from Mar-A-Lago is on the market for $150 million….
The fix is in on Trump. They are going to strip him of his property and force him to spend all his money on lawyers and fines. IF he gets the cases overturned on appeal, it will take years and he will still be out a butt load of attorney fees.
How do people not know that Costco is a major league left wing operation? Its management is all democrap. I wouldn’t set foot in that place. I’m not paying an annual fee to become a member just so I can buy stuff. If you want to sell stuff, let me in and maybe I’ll buy it. The “member” crap is to brainwash people into thinking they’re getting a good deal – which they’re usually not. People who think Costco has good deals are usually just innumerate people who don’t know what stuff costs at other places. Also, after you pay for the stuff you bought, you can’t just leave – you have to get back in line and have some inspector guy look over everything in your cart. What the fuck? I just paid for this stuff – get out of my fucking way. When people have Costco leaf bags, I figure they’re democrats. Same as maskers and people with blue or pink hair.
I do agree on inflation. An eight ounce jar of freeze-dried coffee at Aldi has gone up from $2.89 to $3.69 in the last year. At least it’s still 40% less than Costfuckingco.
They still make freeze-dried coffee?
I always thought that stuff was something like Tang, dreamed up for those guys that walked around on the Moon.
That’s what I use it for.
walking around on the moon?
There is actually a large energy input for freeze dried, which has increased. Brew the coffee, remove all the water, processing etc.
Grocery prices here in SoCal have gotten sky-high. Used to see 99 cent lb chicken drumsticks or thighs all the time. Now they’re $1.79. Same with Pork…used to find Pork steaks for $1.49, now they’re $3.99. That sure as hell isn’t 8% is it?
It’s not the price going up it’s the buying power of the dollar going to shit thanks to the parasites in Washington DC
If one has no concept of “quality” to begin with, then judging by price IS the price you pay for that ignorance. You might get lucky and you very well might not. Roll those dice and find out!
