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'

Only 7.2% on used cars? Price a 2018 and tell me that.

CPI or inflation increased at a fast pace after March 2021. September 2022's CPI was 8.2% and has dropped slowly since June 2022.

What do you all expect October 2022's CPI to be ? I estimate it will be between 6 and 8%.

I estimate the Fed may not raise the Fed Funds rate from 3.25% to 4% next month if it is below 5%.

The Fed is virtually guaranteed to raise the Fed Funds rate from 3.25% to 4% this month.

If October inflation is

more than 8% then the Fed will raise it to 4.75% in December
between 6% and 8% then the Fed will raise it to 4.25%
if below 6% then they will not raise it

Idiots need to go to work.

We went to a locally owned diner for brunch on Wednesday. First time there since before the COVID closures.
That place has been an institution in the neighborhood.

Oh my freaking gosh. The prices are so high now. There's no way they can survive charging those prices, and probably no way they can survive if they reduce the prices.

They're doomed.

Don't worry the government will send out some more "Inflation Relief Checks" to the poor to solve the problem.

Biden is fighting inflation. Remember those millions of dollars worth of crack pipes he gave away for free?

Gas prices should not increase as United States oil rig count has reached early 2020 levels. World rig count is below early 2020 levels by about 10%.

How Corporations “Get Away With Murder” to Inflate Prices on Rent, Food, and Electricity

Antitrust expert Hal Singer shows how big businesses in certain industries are taking advantage of inflation worries to jack up prices far beyond their cost increases, all the while raking in robber-baron profits.

The cost of Christmas dinner is up a jolly 16.4% over last year!


This is one huge cost of election fraud by the deep state/Democrats.

"Inflation is only 7 percent!" they say, as eggs top $5 a dozen

Remember way back in the ancient times of 2019 when you could get a dozen eggs for under a buck?

Remember last year when those prices started climbing and it seemed like $2.50 for a carton was bad?

Buckle up. ...

Think about that. Just over two years ago, you were paying less than 10 cents for an egg. You could make yourself a large breakfast omelet with five eggs for half a dollar.

Now you're paying $2-$3 for the same thing.

Heck, just a few years ago, you could get a pretty large omelet at Waffle House of Denny's for three bucks! Those were good times. Too bad Joe Biden had to build us back "better."
