Trumpflation

[batmagadanleadoff]

Where are all those jackasses that I used to hear in the supermarket blaming Biden for the higher costs of foods?

A 30 oz. jar of Hellmann's Mayonnaise. I could swear that this could be had for less than three bucks before Covid. It's been going for 7.99 or 8.99 when not on sale and lately .... 9.99!

Pepsi and Coke products used to be on sale every week at my supermarket -- one week it'd be Pepsi products, the next week, Coke products. You used to be able to buy two liter bottles for about a buck each, or 1.25. Not any more. Two liter bottles sell for over three bucks when not on sale.

My favorite chocolates, that I used to buy loose for $6.99/lb., $5.99/lb. a year ago, yesterday jumped to $10.99/lb.

There's a part of me that hopes that these fucking ignoramus jackasses that put this monster in the White House, dragging the whole country down with them, with their racism and hate and fucking ignorance, starve to death as prices go up and their benefits get slashed. Imagine that! Poor people voting for Republicans. It's a country full of retards.

prices have skyrocketed the last 4 years too, while Biden told us over and over again how good the economy was.

It's going to get worse now too. he just told everyone they can charge 25% more and blame it on tarriffs.

But reasonable people weren't blaming it on the madman currently in the White House.

while Biden told us over and over again how good the economy was.

He was telling the truth. Inflation had stabilized and GDP was way up. Where he failed was in the messaging. He's a bad public speaker, a mushmouth. Who got perceptibly worse deeper and deeper into his term. And the public has no fucking idea what GDP is and in any event, you can't "feel" or "see" GDP the way you can see that the price of eggs and mayonnaise has more than doubled.

It's going to get worse now too. he just told everyone they can charge 25% more and blame it on tarriffs.

Correct. Especially gas and stuff you put in your salad, like tomatoes and bell peppers and avocadoes.

I scored two pounds of cocktail tomatoes yesterday
for a mere three dollars.

I asked, '­­­por que tan barato?

Waffle House is putting a 50 cent surcharge on every egg they sell.
That's hittin' 'em in the heart(land).

My wife just bought eggs for $6.99 a dozen.
I told her we should sell them on e-Bay.

KB scored 18 eggs at SRite this afternoon for $11.89. Not bad for
what was on the news the last couple of days. And no shortage yet.

I'm kinda surprised Donny Douchebag hasn't yet blamed the price
and shortage of eggs on inheriting the Bubonic Biden Bird Flu.

There's still time, stealing lollipops from everyone's mouths and
shoving them up their ass for applause, accolades and generally
abhorrent appreciation is time consuming. I'm sure it will come...

I filled my wife's tank on Sunday afternoon at the Shell station near my house for $2.55/gallon. Drove by the station yesterday, the price was $2.99/gallon. I thought their must be screwed up or they have lost their minds. On the way home, I passed 3 other stations and they were all now $2.99/gallon. That is a jump of 44 cents/gallon (for regular unleaded) in 48 hours. It is a seriously messed up country we are living in.

We got some Boar's Head pastrami this morning.

$21.99/lb... fucking Biden...

They just dropped the American Movie Classics, WE and Sundance channels from my cable system.
I haven't had local sports for several years and now I don't have what I was watching instead.
Of course they aren't lowering my bill.
Bastages.
