Well Einstein it is under $3 in a lot of places around here.



It's only under $3 here in Georgia because they've temporarily suspended the gas tax.

The market will eventually correct on restaurant pricing if wings stay lower.



Aside from big fast food chains I don't believe I've ever seen a sit down restaurant lower their menu prices.

Who knew that continuing to print trillions of dollars would devalue our money?
Oh and, who knew that paying fast food workers $15 an hour would raise
the prices of that food!
Oh and, who knew that electing a president that’s a lifetime screwup would come back to bite the US?
Oh and, who knew that vowing to kill the fossil fuel industry would cost us more for fuel?
Oh and, who knew that forcing green energy policies on us would raise the price of everything?
I could go on…

What an idiot. I wanted to comment that she was an idiot but there wasn’t a way for me to do so.

She writes for Vox, so good chance she doesn't remember it, but, the "Before Times" were pre-9/11. Everything after was just another kick in the arse. I truly feel bad for all the young folks today that didn't get to experience peak America.

Post-pandemic prices will eventually feel normal, and post-pandemic wages should make those prices more feasible — or at least not significantly less feasible than they were before.


When you have to convolute your point that much, you've basically lost the argument.

Chicken wings is a good example of how it’s prices and not inflation. They’ve come down significantly at the grocery store but go to any restaurant where if it’s an appetizer or entree and wings are exponentially expensive and are more than likely not going to come down like they did at the grocery store.


Damn Paul, what could be the difference?!?

I don’t care for high prices.

Figured I should put that out there to let this journalist know.
