This is so embarrassingly dumb its hard to take the rest serious. An 8 year POTUS just a few elections ago, destroyed healthcare, infinitely increased the racial divide, weaponized the DOJ and FBI, spied on political opponents, and is still influential in today’s dementia patient pushing his agenda.

I know it's already been posted multiple times in this 114 pages of a thread but, it's only going-to get worse over the course of the next couple of years.

Way worse. Buckle up. This is intentional destruction from within.

Dude, put down the partisan talking points and start blaming BOTH sides equally. You are Jim Jones level Kool Aid drinking sheeple with this BlameThrower approach!

Look at this graph, and the first 30 years are basically FLAT
30 straight years of different REPUBLICANS & DEMOCRATS

Oil shocks hit in the 70's and Nixon (R) + Ford (R) + Carter (D) see some uptick but try conservative policies which leave the economy in a malaise. None of these 3 POTUS had any real control yet did the best they could. In the 80's the answer would be to remain conservative and suffer through the 80's yet keeping a more stable future


Ronnie wins in a landslide and doubles down at the Treasury casino to push the mess forward (long after his 8 years as POTUS) instead of felling the pain then. Every POTUS since (R) & (D) - save Clinton in his 2nd term - through Trump and Biden just keep pushing it forward. Not a single POTUS since Carter has taken the pain in their term to fix it. If you can not see this, then it is you who is embarrassingly dumb as I actually lived through and witnessed it all.

The longer you push a problem forward and don't deal with it, the more it festers. Wake up and quit blaming the other side and hold BOTH sides to the fire now.




A) I am pretty sure I am much older and seen way more
B) Tell me exactly in your narrow window of life how you are smarter?

Apparently, if you move to Sweden, this isn’t a problem. And you’ll be much happier. Not sure if true, but another poster says so.

The Rite Aid around the corner is closing and everything in the store is 50-75% off.

A small handheld basket filled with a bunch of nothing still cost me $150.00

Corporations made record profits last year, they have to increase those profits this year to satisfy infinite growth. The easiest way to do that is increase prices. Then everyone gets a nice big bonus check and the ceo keeps their job.

That record profit becomes the new baseline that must be surpassed next year.

Yep, they're destroying it to "rebuild" it in their own image.


You will own nothing, because private ownership goes against climate change.

There is zero way this inflation is real. Or, at least most of it.


This is what happens when you print more money in the last 15 years than the entire history of the country combined

“COVID” and the printing of Monopoly money from then on supercharged it - this is where Trump went full retard. Biden has always been full retard. He’s so retarded his advanced dementia may have made him smarter.

It’s by design and meant to squeeze out the middle class and make it near impossible to challenge the elite billionaires

I went to Taco Bell the other day for the first time in probably 3 years. Could not believe how frickin expensive that shite is now.


LOL, no kidding. My wife and I went through a Bojangles for a biscuit last Friday. One steak/cheese, one sausage,egg and cheese and 2 diet pepsis....Nearly $18! Young lady told me the price without flinching, apologizing, nothing...like it was supposed to cost nearly $18 to eat a fast food breakfast LOL. It really is shocking. I do not know how young folks and families making less than $200K a year make ends meet...I suspect they do it with credit cards.

Bidenomics!




While it is an easy thing to do to blame the current administration it is also lazy. The fact is that inflation started ramping up when we saw a blistering hot economy in 2016 and cut taxes drastically to spur the economy...the same idea as tossing gasoline on a red hot fire. Shortly after that we lost our collective minds over a bad flu bug and started handing out cash left and right with both parties vying for the title of biggest idiots and biggest spenders. That bill is now being paid in the form of inflation...it was going to happen and it was unavoidable. You can't toss gas on a fire and then fan the flames and complain about getting burned...

These types of posts always amuse me. I obviously don’t disagree about inflation, but what did you expect this meal to cost?

The steak and cheese biscuit alone is about 1/3 of the calories that most people should be eating for a day. Add in two sodas (which we all know are pricey), and tax, and $18 doesn’t seem like all that much to me.

No, it's a fact that this current Potato in Chief ramped inflation up through the roof on literally his first day in office when he declared a MEOW (moral equivalent of war) against fossil fuels and O&G. With the stroke of a pen he shut down transportation pipelines, Alaska ANWR and gas leases across the country. This was the ticking time bomb to make inflation explode as oil is the #1 lifeblood commodity of a functioning 1st world country. Stop pandering for Biden and the Left, this is a fact that intentionally led to uncontrollable, runaway inflation and supply chain disruptions that can't be disputed.

These delta towns decline in population every year yet somehow keep adding restaurants

People don’t cook at home like they used to. Also why everyone is fat nowadays.



Every grocery store you go in and every restaurant you go in is PACKED with people buying food. It is a fricking epidemic and it is far more dangerous from a health POV than COVID ever was. Take a look at the shite in your own grocery buggy, never mind those around you. If it is in a box or most likely in a can it is overpriced for what actual value it has as food. If it is actual fresh produce and actual unprepared meat with some complex carbs tossed in for good measure you are probably not really an American...if, on the other hand, there is more sugar in you buggy than in Haiti chances are good you are a great American...

I love the US but would gladly move south of the border.
In Colombia now. $100k pesos is more than what any meal cost. It's seem as a lot of money. But it's $25 us.
Walking around with a million pesos and I only spent like $200k in 4 days. That's eating and drinking in sit down places too.
