Since we know the numbers are going to suck since Peppermint Patty is leading the Amen Corner Media to blame Putin for it:

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.

EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'

It kinda sorta qualifies as tax rebate, because states can't print.

Rising interest rates turned off the spigot for money-losing start-ups, which, combined with energy inflation and rising wages for low-income workers, has forced Uber, Lyft, and all the rest to make their services more expensive. Meanwhile, global supply chains haven’t been able to keep up with domestic consumer demand, which means delivery times for major items like furniture and kitchen equipment have bloomed from “three to five days” to “sometime between this fall and the heat death of the universe.” That means higher prices, higher margins, fewer discounts, and longer wait times for a microgeneration of yuppies used to low prices and instant deliveries. The golden age of bougie on-demand urban-tech discounting has come to a close.


Coastal bougies are also suffering from the catastrophically fraudulent 2020 election and lockdown policies.

At the Walmart in Florida panhandle and I got all the Walmart or Great Value brands.

Ice cream is $2.25 for half a gallon, 1 pound of sliced American cheese is $2.50, a package of hamburgers is $4.50 a pound, chicken legs are $1.09 a pound, etc.

From an email list I'm on:


We are all being subsidized…

Americans living high on the great China manufacturing subsidy, compliant elves in Santa’s workshop that seemingly work for free much like the presents that come down through the chimney.


It is an arrangement between the richest Americans and the CCP.

Amazon gets cheap imports with which Bezos can undercut American-made products and therefore boost his profits tremendously.
Americans get cheap stuff to buy.
The CCP gets most of America's manufacturing base transferred to China.
Chinese workers get jobs which didn't exist before.

Who loses?

American factory workers lose their jobs.
America becomes dependent on the CCP to the point where we can't even make antibiotics without Chinese supplies.

I think the CCP was actually quite brilliant about this, even if evil.

Ironically on Amazon:

Another thought I have a lot:

Though you can't import slaves, you can export work.

Many of those illegals will be doing what many would call "slave work."

Shock new research for DailyMail.com lays bare brutal toll of inflation under Biden — as we break down why American families are paying a staggering $5,915 more on everyday items
Item by item, we reveal what consumers are paying right now, and what they SHOULD be paying were it not for 12 months of runaway 9.1% inflation
Comprehensive analysis by DailyMail.com found the 45 products that were most frequently burning a hole in the pockets of the average urban shopper
Price rises for gasoline (59.9%) are well known, but many everyday items have jumped: Among them, eggs are up 33.1%, chicken up 18.6% and men's suits are up 24.9%
The typical U.S. household $5,915 cost spike is a hefty rise for households on the median income of $67,521
Families have cut back on everything from Friday-night treats to groceries and travel to make ends meet

A recent survey from Suffolk University/USA TODAY (pdf) reveals that 45.3 percent of Americans have had to cut back their spending on groceries.

59.4 percent also said they are eating out less often as a result of inflation.

Another 48 percent of respondents said they are driving less due to soaring gas prices.

Meanwhile, 45.4 percent said they are postponing or canceling vacations or travel plans amid rising costs.


Gosh, one might think that such reductions in consumer spending would cause a recession. Unless one were a Democrat.

I just got back from the grocery store, and apparently the groceries hadn’t heard about Biden’s new zero inflation claims.

Thanks to Inflation, Gen Z and Millennials Will Now Need $3M in Retirement Savings To Live Comfortably

It has long been a rule of thumb to have $1 million saved for a comfortable retirement; but, thanks to inflation, the youngest generation of workers likely will need three times as much. According to a recent analysis conducted by Wealthcare Financial, by the time Gen Z and millennials retire, they will need around $120,000 to $150,000 per year to live comfortably — making $3 million the average amount they need to retire.

I'd say that we are already there.
