This is not good. We need to restore the value of the dollar and not admit
defeat by eliminating the penny. Besides, the Globalists want to eliminate
the dollar. Is this where we are headed?

Huffy started to make bikes in the USA around 1890's. It had plants in Ohio, Oklahoma and California. It shut down USA manufacturing in 1999.

From Boca Raton News in 1976 ... $50 in 1976 is around $280 in today's money

yeah just noticed at Walmart that the Great Value brand for the chocolate bar that is similar to Snickers is now at 4 bars instead of 5 bars but still same price of $2.56
they switched from 5 to 4 bars recently
its going to be interesting to see the inflation numbers through February 2026
I just pray the manufacturing jobs, trade deficit and federal deficit numbers for 2025 look a lot better than Birdbrain Biden's 2024 numbers
.
New Reese’s packaging. Now you only get 4 cups instead of 5

Maybe with all this smaller portion packaging we will see some waistline shrinkflation as well.

I agree, but what we really need is a return to physical silver coins.
That was the anchor which prevented the Fed from inflating the currency into nothingness.

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'
