Inflation? And then what?

[arbol]

But it's not happening?

All the people on the Government tit, are voting for more Government, more spending (of fake money.)

It's a self fulfilling prophesy.

Inflation should be so scary, that liberals vote fiscally responsive.

Good luck with that!
They only double down.

Because they're all "entitled" to a BIGGER tit.....

I guess I have high hopes that the mid-term elections will knock the Dems. out of full control and bringing a halt to any more large spending bills, and making Biden a dead duck from there on out. Fingers crossed but honestly, with how bad things are, I really expect it to happen.

Won't make a difference. Congressional elections only effect legislation. And it's not legislation alone that is causing this.. in fact, that's a minor part of it. The vast majority is administrative edict from county level on up.

And the 6% inflation number is hogwash. Literally EVERYTHING we buy is much more than 6% more expensive now than it was a year ago.

Everything I sell is way more than 6% more expensive than it was a year ago.

About the only thing that is close to the 6% number is real estate, and even that has surpassed 6% in many areas.

We're being lied to as usual.

People have probably inflated 6%. Lots of emobros "taking a year off" and full time remote employees putting in their 4 hours a week.

But yeah, sarcasm aside someone would have to be foolish to believe there is only 6% inflation unless cherry picking certain products.

yup. dumbasses cry about how little $250k yr gets them, but thinking $15-17/hr for fast food is too much money.

well.... I think 250k is too much $ for dumbass sh1t they do , but fast food guys gets paid less.

it is already getting proven that restaurant works are not replaceable at that same rate, but many 250k jobs are easily replaceable at the same $ rate.
if you do not believe me, look at many ambitious employees secretly wanna take the management job in a fermto-second and waiting for them to get fired/laid off.

Sadly, we have seen too little fiscal restraint on the part of the Republicans. When THEY were in the majority, they kept spending at rates that would get me thrown in jail.

But I do believe there's going to be one heck of a push-back in 2022. If the Rs are not wise -- and keep spending, keep the border open, keep funding Biden's idiotic hallucinations -- 2024 will NOT be the Red Wave they're predicting.

What are you ... 15 years old??!!!

Fast food jobs were never intended to be careers for 95% of the people in that business. They have always been "entry level" jobs. If somebody is complaining they're not getting a "living wage" from their Wendy's job ... they are probably too stupid to be working (even) in fast food. They should be on the back of a garbage truck (which actually pays much better). They could be Flaggers on road construction sites ... working for a janitorial service ... loading dock ... construction clean-up....

I'm guessing you posted this off your phone and either fat-fingered or auto correct mangled what you posted. I cannot make sense of what you posted, so I cannot reply.

I just checked the dealer where I got my trailer 2 years ago.
I paid $1700 or $1750
About 6 months ago, they were right at $2k
Now they're $2950

Inflation is a myth
