They called it "The Great Depression" and the folks with the memories are dying off, lost before the youth of today can learn from the past. Take steps now to learn from your elders if you can.

Prices won't relent, they have a new set point. Will have the occasional sales but we are not returning to the days of DJT

This is what younger people keep missing with no historical period of service to draw from. My old man would never eat at McDonalds because you had to wait in line to order, take your own food to your table, then buss your table when finished. His point, missed by folks today is I am paying for service but not getting any.

The service you pay for is someone cooking that nasty food for you.

I hate that crusty old demented pervert as much as the next guy, but this can't all be blamed on him.

bullshite. The prices are passed on to consumers from the decisions the pedophile makes. You think banning the drilling that was done under Trump hasn’t caused a bottle neck of problems that didn’t exist before? Everything that is made from oil has to find alternatives and if those alternatives aren’t cheap, the costs get passed down. Guarantee, you wouldn’t find Trump not looking for ways to improve this mess.

It is the kind of thinking that will make the crash worse.

Most important job of POTUS is foreign policy and SCOTUS. No POTUS can make meaningful change in 4 or 8 years. If you believe what you propose you probably also think an aircraft carrier has the same turning radius as a row boat. I was raised by folks who actively lived through the first 45 years of the last century. Since 1980 each POTUS has not resolved festering ills and passed the buck forward. Should have been unwound in the late 80's, 2000, and 2008 at least but it was not fixed and actually grew.

Derivatives are here today under a different name and they are larger than before. Wealth transfer from many employed inside our borders has been ongoing to outside the US so a few Wall Street folks can pocket the difference. We have moved to the Saudi luxury model but we are a bigger population and less oil. Most Saudi labor (from grunt to advanced education) come from other countries so the Saudi population does not have to work. The US does not have that luxury.

Put your head in the sand
Let the Far Right and Far Left blame each other
Allow social media to manipulate you with meaningless points

When it all crashes down, just remember you were warned by an old fart who has lived through this dog and pony show before.

No one has “around $965,000 in savings”.. if you have $965k saved then that’s not too shabby, but you in fact have “around $1 million in savings”… jfc

Early 1980’s after the recessions of the 1970’s.

I had sex which ended up getting me married, kids, and then once they are gone come back with grandkids.

It cost me a lot over the years.

Hey, it is life.

That is not a service, showing how little you understand the true concept of what is actually a service industry.

I am old enough to remember trains and I can assure the service was better than any commercial plane today.

I am old enough to remember the greasiest of greasy spoons with 10 times the service of corporate fast food or chain restraints.

I remember gas stations where they filled your tank, checked your oil, checked your tires, cleaned your windshield, checked your belts, and gave you Green Stamps and you never had to get out of the car.

I remember when they delivered your milk and dairy every morning, with a smile

I remember when you ran tabs and paid when you got paid for most everything in town.

That was service, this is no longer yet prices went up, not down, with all that job elimination.

When a gallon of the cheapest milk hits 7 bucks then I'll worry.

Saw 1/2 gallon last week at 4.99, that is roughly 10 bucks a gallon. More expensive than gas by volume.

That same 1/2 gallon was 3.50 last year, and 2.75 the year before.

Pretty much everything in the grocery has doubled in the last 2 years, my income has not done the same. That is part of the problem nobody wants to discuss.

Ordered to go from a Mexican joint the other night. One entree, one margarita, one cup of to go queso, $34.


What do you actually find to be acceptable? $15 for an entree, $10 for margarita, $7 for queso…add some tax and tip and you are at $34. That’s what happens when you order alcohol and an appetizer…the bill grows.

Biden pushed through a 2 TRILLION spending package a year after covid and when inflation was already showing signs of rising. Of course you can blame the fool.

It’s not that prices have gone up, it’s that the dollar is just worth less. It’s a bit of a nuanced difference. If prices are up they tend to go down. If a dollar is now worth seventy five cents, it seldom regains its value.

It’s amazing a bunch of ‘necks can ban together and boycott Bud Light, but keep overpaying for stuff that’s not a need.

Don’t like the price, don’t buy it!!!!! Simple as that.




Bud Light is not a necessity.
Food, housewares, cleaning supplies, and fuel are.
