it's a reality. I don't need someone to explain it to me. You can see it. If you cannot, you are in denial

do you need an economist to explain to you how your own life is being affected? I guess you do

me, through simply living my life I see the effect. The shocking part is that the dems are against you too, but you defend them to the last letter

That is like saying you would be shocked at how much food a 150 grain 30-06 bullet can put on the table while not including the cost of a deer lease and the gas to get there.

I check the digital coupons each week. Sometimes I will buy things on sale even if I know I will not need them for several weeks. Coffee is one example. I can't remember the last time I paid regular price for it.

After my shopping trip this morning I'm convinced the high food prices coupled with the In Store Shoppers and self checkout is a "highly classified" Deep State program of forced obesity reduction.

Saw our United had jugs of simply orange, and tropicana for 9 something dollars a gallon the other day. It's insane.

Now, after significant backlash from the public, Wendy’s is crawfishing and/or outright lying about the strategy. They decided to say it will be “dynamic pricing”, and will only benefit consumers and crew members…not “surge pricing”, that will gouge consumers.

In a former life, I worked for their new CEO…the guy that caused and is caught in this mess. He’s been in the Wendy’s CEO role maybe a month. I’m not bothered one bit by witnessing this public dust-up.

You can see prices go up but you don't know if its regional or local.
Whether its weather related, world related or government related.

Sure, we all have eyes but they don't tell us anything past what we can see.
Thats why I look beyond my sight.
You do too or you would not blame it on anyone past that sight.


I don't like Dems because they like big govt with its high cost and big social programs.
The Reps are much better on social programs and slightly better on big govt but they try to force lower spending by reducing taxes. "Hasn't worked yet but we expect us to stop spending soon" should be their motto.

Wonder if the panhandle fires will affect the beef pricing.?

so I go to the store and olives are 6 dollars when they use to be 3 dollars..do I need to know if this is a regional or local thing? I'm paying double, that's the effect I'm noticing

when I use to spend $100 on groceries and am now spending $200 for the same stuff, knowing if it's regional or local helps me how?

and lastly it's not regional or local, it's national

pre-cooked

Quite possible. Cattle numbers were already at their lowest point in the last 20+ years and we're "importing" new mouths to feed by the millions.

I’ll bet you can change his thinking about all of this…stay with it!

The odd part from my point of view is that people see so little by just looking at food prices where they are, yet have opinions that can't be seen with that view.
Look around people. There are a lot of resources like the Wall Street Journal. Market Watch, Barons, Benzinga.

You can find how much they blame Biden. IMO, not near as much as you'll find on this forum.

A small bunch of opinions at Wal Mart have gone up 110% over the past few months, from .48 to .98 Bidenonics!

what the heck will the wall street journal tell me about inflation that I cannot already see. I'm talking about the real and practical effect of inflation, not an explanation of why it's happening. I still have to buy groceries and gas, have no choice

if the people at the wall street journal are so smart about inflation maybe they can tell us how to fix it (less government spending and handouts would be a factor. stop paying fast food workers $15 dollars an hour is a factor)

how about we get some solutions coming..guy that's been pres for 3.5 years what's your plan dude cause it aint working

My 2 cents,
If you can’t afford now what you could 31/2 years ago?

Don’t need an expert to tell us who the problem is.
