The Lucky Charms boxes keep shrinking and getting lighter. Almost Reich sized. Pretty soon, they’ll be selling the lil single serving sized box for the price of a family sized box today.

Chipotle raised their prices once (years ago) just because their marketing surveys told them that as industry leader they could (and their competitors followed suit).

Why post an article by Robert Reich?

What a pompous ass. As if Chipotle was an outlier and everything else is just fine. People like Reich are out of touch with trivial things like the price of gas, food, medicine, travel, housing, clothes, labor, etc. Only little people concern themselves with such things. Deplorable, insignificant, little people.

Yes, let’s use Alinsky tactics to lampoon serious Biden
regime caused inflation as something silly like the price of burritos. Let it all burn, right Reich?

No... braindead is necessary, but not sufficient.

You also have to be a bought-and-paid-for traitor for the ccp.

This guy is very bothered at the cards dealt to him. I feel sorry for the people that are going to have trouble feeding their family due to inflation. Can you imagine waking up at 2:30 a.m. and thinking about your life if you were him?

I like more info. That said, see the Leftist sites. They have dismantled the comments sections. Yahoo, all of them.

When they impeached Donald J Trump not once, but twice, both over bullchit reasons, we all saw the cause to impeach Biden.

And if she doesn’t retire after the GOP win in 2022, impeach and remove Peelosi. In fact, I’ll bet she’s up to her wattled neck in criminal actvities. Charge, try and jail her.

Make the democrats pay for it by incessant impeachment.

Turnabout is fair play.

Dr. Loveless is a fraud. No Ph.D. in economics (not that it means that much) but a mere lawyer.

One of the most arrogant ignoramuses in the history of the academy, and that’s in a very broad field.

Democrats entire playbook is to ridicule and dismiss every truth that use inconvenient to their agenda. Seriously, when was the last time you heard them say, “gee, we really screwed that up”?

That’s funny. All of my suppliers are giving me mid-year price increases this month, first mid-year change in many years. One of my customers who are big steel users told me that their steel prices have tripled and any steel prices they are quoted are good to the end of the business day.

So the pygmy communist doesn’t think that’s inflation?

If they can afford it, somebody should hit him up the side of the head with a 2 by 4.
