    Craft beer now starts at 12-14 a sixer (or $15 for 4 cans)

    Crackers 6 bucks make it stop

    Response: “I went grocery shopping the other day and that wasn’t my experience at all.”

    “People don’t need so much food. Americans are fat - they could lose some weight.”

    “Illegals Biden let in are eating all our fudz!!”

    Have you tried rice? You can get a five pound bag of basmati rice grown in Texas for $12 and eat it every day. That $12 bag will last you a whole week and it is made in USA and grown by American citizens. On Sunday you can take a single egg and mix it with the rice. The eggs are from Arkansas and a dozen can last you almost two months.

    You don’t need 100’s of options for food, you can make do with just a couple. Plus you will know you are eating the best rice because it was from America and packed by high school dropouts that can work 60 hours a week in a manufacturing plant like their great grand parents did.

    Let me know if you want me to have RFK Jr. talk to your grandma about eating Dannon yogurt, it is too fancy and one of the color additives will give her testicular cancer according to the TIK TOK RFK Jr watched between cheating on his wife and feeding his Hawk Tibetan infant nasal discharge.

    In many ways I love poors. The grocery store doesn’t know whether it’s me shopping or a poor. And they can’t change the prices offered to each of us! Keeps more money in my pocket because I’d pay way more than the listed price.

    Oh, and everyone knows Biden’s four years of fiscal profligacy caused the runaway inflation. That’s why the Dems yanked him themselves before the election — they knew it was a lost cause.

    GOOD DAY

    At first they laughed at me for being vegan, but then they become economic vegans.


    Gotta stay ahead of the game

    The fact that beef now basically requires a mortgage to buy is the most environmentally friendly policy ever enacted by the Trump Regime

    See, we need to live off the land. If you’re hungry enough, you will eat anything, including pangolins. What could go wrong?

    Welcome to the 2022 observation.

    30% YOY food inflation is much more tolerable when your team is in power.

    Everyone can see what Biden did to inflation and grocery prices. LOL at SamFisher trying to resurrect his attempts at pinning inflation on Trump. Inflation is LOW right now -- well under 3.0%. That's historically a low level. Inflation ran wild under Biden, and we continue to pay the price for very bad Democrat policies. It was all avoidable, but Biden ran up spending and the size of government and saddled our country with crushing debt. It's why voters rejected him. Actually, one of many reasons (border, taxes, foreign policy, DEI obsession, etc).

    Biden Admin ignored the grocery prices and the Ds paid for that in 2024.

    Trump Admin is also ignoring grocery prices. The party in power loses off year elections typically. The Rs are not set up well for the 2026 elections, especially since Trump's economic policies are inflationary and costing jobs (stagflation).

    Is this just another “observation” like your idiotic post about gas prices in 2022? Will you get upset again when people respond with facts about the cause of inflation in 2022?

    Trump is helping Americans to get healthy by eating less, so they will lose weight! He is really trying to Make America Great Again.

    I know you hate the both-sides argument, however I do recognize that both sides are unable to control inflation when debt-to-gdp exceeds 100%. Unless we go through some radical changes, debt will continue to creep up. We are simply not moving fast enough in energy generation to create the necessary production to boost GDP past debt expenditures. The only card left is to completely revamp healthcare to make it affordable, but that would require a massive labor cut, pushing unemployment numbers extremely high.
    Marginal tariffs work in the short term, but longer term, it becomes yet another friction point for low income earners.

    In other words, lower income earners will continue to struggle over the next couple decades. The American dream will get harder and harder to achieve and no amount of politics will fix this w/out a 20-50 year plan.
