The goal is demand destruction, which is the only way not to reverse inflation, but at least tame the beast. If the Fed Rate is hiked like 2022, prime will bust 8% and the commercial real estate market will finally capitulate a la IndyMac, and make 2024 look a lot like 2016. *smiles*

They are using the democrap new, not white supremacist, math! How they come with 10% when eggs are up over 100% ? New minority math!

“Meanwhile the welfare people still load up their grocery carts with the most expensive groceries, compliments of the hardworking taxpayers.

This is Social Justice?”

Reparations.

(Though we were all warned for decades that Social Security would not be enough support us in retirement. The problem is, few listened.)

Our COSTCO was out of eggs over the weekend, but the Fred Meyer across the street, had doubled their egg stocks. They had as many eggs as Costco usually has.

Eggs are high in cholesterol, and chicken farts cause global warming./s

At my local grocery, you can get a giant jar of Arabian coffee with something called “Hal” in it. I don’t remember how much it cost, but the company is Al Nasser, and I still have plenty left. Perhaps by the time I run out it’ll cost more. It’s pretty strong, and made the same way as Turkish coffee, by pouring hot water over a tablespoon of Al Nasser in your cup, and letting it settle and steep for a while. Taste? Who drinks coffee for taste? My nick-name for it is “Wake-y Wake-y Juice”. But it’s passable taste-wise.

Me either.

I love the smell, but could never choke it down enough to acquire a taste for it.

Local Walmart eggs are $3.26/doz now.

They were $5.14 just a week ago.

They were $0.80 just 2 years ago.

I’m angry about the inflation the Dems just let slide by.

At least one or two items at the store cause my sticker shock to go top end.

Tart cherry juice (reduces gout and joint trouble) in past 2-3 years was $3.29, $3.49, $3.99 then $4.99 and this week $12.49 (one brand). Luckily Kroger still had one left at around $5 or so.

Rule of thumb is to remember the old prices of most items and mentally add $1 or more to each.

About eggs: If you have to ask about the price it means you’re not rich enough to afford them.

People with a servant doing the shopping and returning in a Bentley Continental GT ($235,600) don’t worry about it.

Joe’s fault. Joe Biden’s fault. Repeat this every time you buy groceries. I do it at the checkout counter, and watch liberals squirm.

$50 to $60 is about normal for me.

I’m hardly extravagant.

I gotta start putting the “I Did That” stickers up at the grocery store now that gas is a “reasonable” $3.20 or so.
