"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."

Would be better with x time units, but the point is clear.

All of this is Biden's fault.

Of course, all Democrats who suppored/still support Biden are also to blame.

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.

You don't understand what is going on.

Our financial system has been attacking commodities for over 40 years. Energy and raw materials have been subsidized by the US government with US tax money for at least 40 years.

WHEN the reckoning comes, it's going to be devastating. Price the national debt in terms of any commodity - sugar, oil, gold, silver, anything, and you'll see something alarming. When it corrects, and it will correct, housing will be trivially inexpensive, and potatoes will and sugar will seem like luxuries.

We always return the mean, but it can take decades, even centuries. You know what a house cost in 1900? About $2,000 dollars and that was a pretty nice and comfortable home. That was about 1,500 ounces of silver.

The greatest fortune I had in my life is that as a kid, I had the wherewithal to talk to my elders who were young men and women when the Great Depression hit. I know what's coming, what I don't know, is WHEN it's coming.

Consumer price index data released on Tuesday showed that prices for a range of goods and services rose by 6.4% over the past 12 months, down slightly from an annual rate of 6.5% in December and a 40-year high of 9.1% in June.

However, inflation increased 0.5% from December 2022 to January 2023, compared to 0.1% increase from November to December 2022. The Fed is tracking inflation increases for 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days.

Natural gas prices going down... track the natural gas stocks like Antero Resources (down 50%) and Southwestern Energy Company (down 50%) as well as other companies that drill and transport natural gas such as Chesapeake Energy and EQT Corp

Propane is down about 10% from recent 52 week high and is around 2018 price levels

Prices may have stabilized while production is still below pre pandemic levels.

This may ensure a soft landing for energy stocks and ETFs like Chevron, Shell and SPDRs oil and gas (ticker: XLE) as gas prices stay above $3.25 a gallon.

The Eurozone’s core inflation soared to a record high in January, as the bloc’s energy crisis rages on. ...

The euro bloc is currently facing the worst energy crisis in decades after the Russia–Ukraine war caused gas and oil prices to soar.

Uh, Biden blowing up the Nordstream pipeline was what caused their gas prices to soar.

There you go again, I state a FACT and you get inside my mind.

Here;s another factoid from my spread sheet:

half gallon of low-fat (2%) organic milk at Trader Joe
1/21/2018 $3.49 (note: I started tracking my grocery expenses around that time)

2/24/2023 $3.99 (yes, today).

Annualized inflation rate for this product: 2.8%

Change the commodity markets so that if the commodity exchange exists, it is required to be able to deliver on the contract and that people in the commodity exchanges must be able to accept delivery and be able to deliver to the commodity exchange.

That USED to be the law.

Then it was financialized, so there's people who will never be able to produce pork bellies, nor do they have the facilities to accept them involved in the market. These are speculators, and speculation used to be illegal.

There's no market discovery for prices any more. That's what you don't understand.

Barack Gold's stock price didn't move hardly at all when gold went from $300 an ounce to $2,000 an ounce. Investors were "what the fuck?", and sued. Barack's defense was that they were acting as a GOVERNMENT AGENT.

Our government is directly involved with price fixing and commodity price manipulation. Both are completely illegal BUT when the government controls who gets prosecuted, and who can even have a case heard..

You can distort markets for a long time, but not forever. When price fixing eventually fails, the first Depression will look like nothing.

Dude. You won't get a comment that agrees with you or is positive from Rich. Just our government is corrupt. Government has been for sure but not totally. Problem is commenting with Rich, it always goes back to bad/negative/lying government. That's simply not the case and I dislike Joe Biden. He cannot say anything positive. Really about anything. It's gotten worse over the last 2 months. Nuance and logic don't exist in his narrative. It's his narrative or you're an idiot.

You and I have had our arguments and even agreements ourselves, but you're trying to paddle up the creek with no paddle with him. EVERY comment of his ends the same in some way shape or form. Our government is corrupt. There's not an actual thought. Closest I've been to putting a non-bot user on ignore. Who knows, maybe a bot, but I believe Patrick has met him.

There's just no content to his comments. "Government corrupt and bad." He should just post that every time. At least have some intellect. I appreciate actual data since you track your spending which is cool. Inflation is bad on things like cars and high cost goods, but you literally prove that it's not that bad, but you're wrong. Again, no nuance. Don't buy a high priced item right now. What happens? Prices go down. Supply chain gets back in order. We're not all gonna die tomorrow. The doom and gloom here lately has been off the charts.

Not you BACAH, but if you don't like it here (USA), just fucking move. It's not complicated. Whining about it and doing nothing ain't gonna fix much. Get elected. Do something.
