This has nothing to do with fuel prices doubling which then increases manufacturing and shipping costs!
Shrinkflation is a lie. Cookies are NOT smaller. They are more expensive. Biden lies.
It’s not the Bee!
I am shocked!
Gotta admit. Biden is right on this one.
stuned beeber alert!
And that means the 65 cents an hour I was getting weeding corn, potatoes, and onions is equal to about $7.00 per hour today.
Yeah the wife bought a few boxes of thin mints. I usually consume a stack per sitting except the boxes have shorter stacks which is better for me anyway.
Special thanks to Joe Biden for lowering my thin mint intake. Thanks Joe! :-)
After years of using Suave, I switched to TRESSemme...and buy it on sale. It’s wonderful.
I remember gas at 27 cents...same as a pack of cigarettes.

Yeah, you’re right PINO Drooling Spoon. They should quit trying to hide the price increases from Bidenflation. Dumb azz.
I use a dab. Last over a year. Keep my hair buzzed at my age.
Proving yet, again, that SLoJo has NO clue how a free economic market works...
Very true. Really no need for the 15 or 20 an hour. Unfortunately, republicans never give facts when they say no. They are horrible at messaging.
Biden was also stunned to find out that its NOT OK to shower with your 12 year old daughter
