As Dollar Tree goes, so goes the country.
I admit that I didn’t know what a Dollar Tree was up to a few years ago. I was visiting my parents and my mom asked me to go buy some water glasses at the Dollar Tree. After a “what’s that?” I went shopping. Everything was, in fact, a dollar. Well, no longer.
Dollar Tree is raising its price. I listened to a woman complain vociferously about the planned price hike. She’s mad. So is the rest of the country. Inflation isn’t just hitting grandmas looking water glasses for a dollar, it’s going to hamstring everyone, and it’s going to hit the poor particularly.
My colleague Brandon Morse laid a hammer on Biden attempting to get companies to pull him out of the fire. But heating prices are skyrocketing and for northwesterners that could mean making critical choices. Gas prices here in California are closing in on $5.00 a gallon. Last year we weren’t importing oil. We are now, thanks to Joe Biden.
Every consumer item from lumber to ground beef is more expensive and not just a touch. Bacon is 28% more expensive.
Inflation is, indeed, spreading through the economy like a California wildfire.
The Social Security Administration will increase payments next year by a whopping 5.9% — which is the largest increase in 40 years. There are a lot of reasons, but they all point to Washington, D.C. Pumping out trillions in paper money cheapens the dollar, and everything becomes worth less and costs more.
All Joe Biden needed to do after the inauguration was get out of the way. He inherited a vaccine and an artificially deflated economy. Instead, he stepped on every rake he could find, and we are going to pay for it. It’s actually remarkable how badly he’s screwed up the economy.
Methinks the country will follow Dollar Tree customers and will vote with their wallets in 2022
As Dollar Tree goes, so goes the country.
My concern is once the Dollar Tree raises it’s core price of one dollar, all other versions will quickly raise theirs too.
Maybe not. If so, it was fun while it lasted.
I figure somewhere around 30% by years end for the year.
Never doubt Joe’s ability to F things up!

Turn over the keys to a dementia-addled puppet and a cadre of shadowy leftist hacks pulling his strings... and you get every bit of the disaster anyone with a brain would have predicted you’d get. I almost feel sorry for the sheep who bought the media’s absurd narrative that this pathetic old fart was some sort of wise elder statesman who would restore normalcy by being the adult in the room, blah blah blah. I almost feel sorry for them, but not quite. Schadenfreude prevents me feeling too bad. The suckers who bought the narrative are getting what they deserve.
I can't make head or tails of that sentence. Can anyone help me?

speaking of bacon, DH likes the precooked strips, 1lb package which we keep in the freezer for quick BLTs and breakfast sandwiches on the run. This package was a whopping $21 at Costco 2 days ago. Good for him, he found it at Walmart for $14 the next day. This is up from $10-11 June last year. So almost a 40% to 70% increase in a bit over one year
The Bolsheviks running our government, like their master Satan, seek the total destruction of the United States and the murder of We The People.
I pray daily for Almighty God’s Righteous Fury upon them, especially those who are poisoning our children and other young people.
When those who voted for Biden complain about the current puppet administrations dedicated destruction of America, I ain’t saying much. Will shrug the shoulders and say “ummm-hmmm..yeah...whatever” and walk away. Can’t engage, in an intelligent way, with anyone that ignorant, who fell for the false narrative.
I”m with you on that one except I do engage in one conversation with bidet voters....” OMG can you believe how FAST gasoline has risen? This time last year it was under $2 and NOW it’s well over $3 and we are no longer exporting. That was a fast fall”
No matter what they say I come back to high gas prices and how it affects EVERY SINGLE element of our economy.
Gas went from $3.39 to $3.55 in one day. Then the next day it was back to $3.39
I have now seen this type of price change twice in the last 45 days. Have never seen these swings before in such a short period of time. No idea what the specific cause is, but it can’t do much to build confidence of the public.
I'm guessing the word "for" was omitted, should have read: Inflation isn't just hitting grandmas looking FOR water glasses for a dollar.
I expect gasoline to average $4 per gallon by next summer inflating the price of everything moved by truck and killing the economy in many tourist areas. However a cold winter may have us all shivering as the supplies of natural gas and heating oil cannot meet demand and fewer of us can afford the cost to heat our homes. To think that one short year ago the US was energy independent and exporting oil. Let’s go Brandon.
A trip to the Dollar Tree/Store is always fun.
This is what happens when mom and dads nice suburban home is turned over to the kids for a weekend when mom and dad are away.
They’ll soon change the prices at the pump to the cost per HALF gallon.
