The great Leftist deception is to hide that fact that income inequality is 100% a function of government, its size, its power, its desire for central planning and its corruption.
Not 100% — in a libertarian society there would still be much income inequality.
Democrats are evil scum.
Lucky for me that I dont like wine and go for cheap beer.
I think they are confusing income inequality with supply and demand. Once all the hipsters wanted the fancy wine, the price went up. Funny how that works. They used to teach you that in school.
I also am not a wine person, and go for the cheap beer. I can get a 12 pack of Mooshead for $11 at Kroger, and that’s all I need. Moosehead is very underrated by the way.
On the other hand, I doubt Nancy Pelousi has any trouble filling her wine cellar with the most expensive vintages. But she’s for the little guy, you know.
The ones the walls and gates keep out of her compound.
You misspelled “skool”.
People are rich. Get over it.
Moosehead? Thanks too ritzy. Im talking REALLY cheap beer. Pabst Blue Ribbon or Miller Highlife. A twelve pack is under ten bucks in my neck of the woods!
For example, back in 1994, a bottle of Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny 1991, a grand cru, retailed for $80 (the equivalent of $141 in 2020, accounting for inflation). Today, that bottle costs about $800.
1. It usually takes a few years to decide if a vintage is a great one or merely typical. Buy them when they're bottled and hope you've gotten a good one.
2. Wine is consumed, so there were many more bottles of the 1991 vintage around in 1994 than there are now 26 years later.
A Model T in original condition probably costs a lot more than the original $500, even adjusting for inflation.
A better comparison would be a 2017 vintage bottle of good wine.
But then I am the type of person who has trouble when the dinner bill gets much above $30 per person knowing that soon I will just have the memories and a trip to the bathroom. The step up in taste is very little. I would rather have a good steak today and another one tomorrow than a spectacular one today and a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese tomorrow.
I think PBR’s advertising slogan should be “After three, who cares?”
Thats how I feel about it.
Later today, we will be picking up our weekly grocery order from Walmart.
I will be buying 2 bottles of Gallo Pinot Gregio for my wife and my half gallon of Carlo Rossi Sangria for about $12 total.
Just discovered this. Best taste so far - Miller Lite & kosher dill spears.

No way. Pickles make me barf.
