Oh my freaking gosh. The prices are so high now.
The cost of Christmas dinner is up a jolly 16.4% over last year!
"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."

Karine Jean-Pierre: “Biden’ s economic plan is indeed working,”
FACT: Real wages are down, Americans are poorer than when Biden took office, and inflation has been at or above 5% for 20 months.
I have a logsheet in my truck where I've recorded every fuel purchase since May 2006.
On May 15th of that year I paid $3.31 per gallon.
Last week I paid $3.80 per gallon.
That computes to annualized 0.8% (0.008x) inflation rate for gasoline in San Jose over the past almost 17 years.
The Sky Is Falling Down.

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'
