Food costs are up way more than that

Yep, I've seen some items double in price

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts

Just today I bought a 50 pound sack of chicken food that 2 years ago cost me 12.99 plus tax. It is now 19.99 and this is hardly the biggest jump in prices I have seen on things I regularly buy. Seen some thing more than double in price, like a container of generic iodized salt, $0.29 and now is like $1.39.

Hold up there goy, inflation is at a mere 8% and we are not in a recession!

lol

LOL, thanks Joe for the correction

[–] [deleted] • 3 pts

Just felt that someone needed to 'fact check' this with the gov't approved and acceptable view on inflation and the NOT recession we have according to the people who caused the mere 8.2% inflation and redefined what it takes to say we are in a 'recession'.

I had my review in March 2022, "official inflation" numbers were 3% so my raise was 3%

I said, no it's more like 40%. They said they will go off of only official numbers. Fucking mother fuckers

Yes, this is one of the reasons the (((gov't))) games the 'official' inflation numbers. There are laws that force raises for gov't workers and those getting gibs of various sorts tied to the official rate.

Of course they will. The only way I have found of getting a good raise is to get another job at higher pay. It's ok, no one ever works for one company and gets a gold watch after a lifetime of work anymore, corporations only complain that workers have no loyalty when people quit their shitty corporate jobs for more money.

My buddy in the finance industry swears that there is no way we're getting less than 40% inflation. He thinks we're currently at the higher end of 20%, that the remaining 20% will hit after the holidays.

I guess we'll see!

They printed 40% of all the US currency in 2021

This has made shopping with aged relatives difficult because they remember very well what the lower prices were so recently, and I just say 'that's the price now, just buy it if you want it, it's bidenflation'. It's harder for them to recalibrate to the new DNC nightmare prices.

Whilst I feel bad for these older people, i dont really feel that bad either. These are the same people who outsourced everything, lived a life of complete luxury, kept using debt to pay for their fantasies, and told the new generations to get fucked when they were mentioning these issues would become more problematic later on. As is tradition, expect the two generations after the boomers to be told to bail out the boomers, because we dont want those sacky old fucks to life a finger to compromise or anything. This is the same generation that bought homes for 50K or some insanely low price, only to turn around and sell them for 500,000 or more, simultaneously complaining they are the perpetual victims of an unjust fate. HOnestly, boomers have an almost identical motif to parasitical kikes

I deal with boomers quite a bit. Yes they caused these problems and no they don't have the foggiest clue whats going on.

Your statements are absolutely true, yet useless. Like you said, everyone else will bail them out anyway. There's no solace in this

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts

They already are, SS is getting cut up, pensions are drying up, pension obligations are going away, services are dwindling. Everyone else has to cut back and make do, so boomers can live their life of luxury. Once they die, you can bet the taxes will stay but the services will be long forgotten

I frequently thought of/referred to boomers with the phrase 'the selfish generation', a phrase that I've used for at least a decade now.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Whilst you can say that the generation is merely a by product of that generation's kike programming, these people selfishly indulged in whatever cosmopolitan ideas came out that year. They had these traditional spouses for the day, low partner counts, some form of a nuclear family, good paying jobs, and they all moved up the ranks of companies, didn't have to deal with the ramifications of their idiotics policies. As is tradition, its lavish living for me, austerity measures for thee

From when inimum wage was $1.75 until it was $15. What are you complaining about millennial? What makes you think buying a house when it cost 14 times your annual salary was easy street versus today when it's 16 times your annual salary?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

yeah but jobs back then were aplenty, and didnt pay just minimum wage. With the lack of immigraiton of the time, you could make a lot of money from a sparse job. This is NOT the case these days, where the US is competing against third world trash for the breadcrumbs

I went to buy milk the other day and it was over $8 a gallon.

Have you also noticed all the produce is shit, and they're letting it all sit out way longer than they used to? My theory is they're doing it to try to hide the shortage.

[–] • 2 pts

Yes! It's almost as though they're intentionally leaving it out so they can pretend to have more selection than reality.

They're also using whatever they have to fill up empty produce spots. It's kind of strange to see giant bags of carrots filling up half the refrigerator section plus two bins in the loose potatoes & onion areas.

Greens are so bad I've started growing sprouts at home.

My living situation is cityfied at the moment so a full garden is out of the question, but I'll see what I can do in pots on my back porch in the spring.

I noticed when I went down south weeks ago the grocery store was abundant with good food, so at least I don't have to worry about my family yet so I've got that going for me.

Not really cause I grow my own produce and in the spring I will finally have my own milk.

They're def playing with the "sell by" dates on dairy products. I had a gallon of milk spoil two days after I bought it, expiration date on the cap claimed I should have another week. Another similar situation with some ricotta cheese.

I've been buying milk products in smaller qtys 2x per week for a while now.

The cheapest I've been able to find a gallon of whole milk is $6.50
