Utah was ordering food for him and his partner, 2 meatball sandwiches, 1 tuna sandwich and 2 lemonades, $7.30.... That's one coffee these days. Just like grandma said bread was $.05, in...

I would estimate in the Florida panhandle it would cost $7 per sandwich and $2.50 per lemonade. Total cost $26 not including 7% sales tax (6% to Tallahassee and 1% to county).

However, that $7.30 was paid in LA, as in Los Angeles not Lower Alabama land. So how much would it cost in LA today ? I guess at least $40.

That means as far as annual inflation of 6% or 0.06: $7.30 x (1.06)^30 = $41.90

So food inflation in LA has averaged annually about 6%.

Why did we go take a shit on Afghanistan if it's been a Terd that hasn't flushed in 80 years?

Approximately 137? ok...I think the whole articles premise dies with the fact that you have to round to get to that number. And h, c, & epsilon are constants that are reported in metric units, a human construct.

It's like me saying 1/(4(pi)(epsilon)) is equal to 8.99 x 10^9. We can round that 8.99 coefficient to 9 and WOW!!! It's EXACTLY 9!!!

Fake news.

I would agree, food is probably 6%, housing 10%, schooling 12%, and medical premiums 15%.

The government's 2% is notorious for counting stuff you dont need to live or you buy every 10 years like computers, TVs and clothing.

So basically if you're some risk adverse person sitting in cash and renting you're losing average 8% of your purchasing power every year.

Probably be busier for the 4th of July - there are short games and long games. Personally I opt for the long game, better to wait long than marry wrong. Not hitching my outlook to what happens at the beaches or tourist destinations. There are far bigger things thrashing about in the economy.

That is why I think the S&P 500 needs to be 20% below its 52 week peak for another 6 months. The index needs to be discounted that much to account for the slow down.

Listen I've seen the graphs put out by the gov, if you're telling me inflation is 2% you're drinking the koolaid.

But for sake of argument let's say it true. That means over the last 10 years you have 20% less purchasing power unless your own assets or get good raises every year, even with 2% you're fucked

Food inflation by year.

I think for LA (as in Los Angeles and not Lower Alabama) probably would be double the restaurant food inflation rate for the nation.

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.

Ross Perot

Maybe they are paying Trump a cut of the bounties. It's the only explanation.

As of lately, nobody deserves greater benefit of the doubt than deranged leftoid presstitutes!

Fortwaynemobile says

any people seen walking around outside the arena during the rally were in fact illegal immigrants from Mexico.

Yep.

Yeah, another "reset" won't look good, if it happened. Speaking of which: what kind of Putin's cock ornament it makes Obama with his 2008 "overload"?

I can just see them, covered in tats, breathing through your dick while they juice themselves with hypos full of Bill Gates Patented Eugenics Vaccine.

I know, I know when G W Bush left office we were winning the war in Afghanistan. When Obama left office we were winning the war in Afghanistan. What's up with this Trump presidency?

Every country that reopened went through this, but the deaths never spiked.

Huff and Fluff

Pretty sad when Russian Collusion Truthers are posting magazine covers from 2 years ago pretending that their Coup attempt hasn't totally failed.

facts don't matter for them

thomasdong1776 says

Either he knew and chose to do nothing, or he didn't know because he couldn't be bothered to do his job.

He didn't know because it was such bullshit, the Intel Agencies didn't tell him.

If the President was briefed on every piece of intelligence, he wouldn't be able to do anything. In fact, it would be impossible even if he never slept to hear all of it.

Actually, McEnany was right when she called for NYT Pulitzers to be withdrawn over their "Russian Collusion" type stories.

DILLIGAF says

Russia’s ambassador in Warsaw, Alexander Alexeyev, said he was “deeply outraged”

So? He can go and fuck himself.

I like this idea. When we re-erect the monuments that were torn down, we should throw in one like this- depicting similar American events, to go alongside it.

DILLIGAF says

“Anyone who expects this President to find out something important by reading does not know Donald Trump

While I realize this is humor, from all reports it is accurate. Trump doesn't read. That is simply fact. It is said that his briefings had to be short and that it helped if visual aids were used to make the point.

Its also true that he has no interest in doing the, "nuts and bolts" of the job he was elected to do. We all know what his interests are; money, golf and adulation and in the past
(maybe still) women. So let's not try to make him out to be something he isn't.

Did he know or didn't he know is kind of irrelevant, he simply isn't interested in such matters.

I believe Obama missed over 50% of his PDB's while Russia was invading Eastern Europe, ISIS was creating the Caliphate and blowing shit up in Europe and North America.

I think the Democrat metrosexuals might want to sit this one out - pretending that you are all butch against Putin and Commies.

Chinese spies penetrated Trump

You mean they managed to get Putin out of the way?

Maybe this time, they'll git him!
Wope! You almost had it!

Meanwhile, they got to Biden years ago with cushy jobs for his children. Oh wait, those weren't spies. They did it out in the open.

DILLIGAF says

Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary,

I love Kayleigh! her barely disguised disdain of the press, and the way she mocks them with facts is so entertaining.

thomasdong1776 says

What does either have to do with this?

Just pointing out your B.S.

They musta been Dianne Feinstein Dildo Ninjas.

TrumpingTits says

Fuck the Russians!

You ought to know better. Russia won WWII, not only on the Eastern from by the Western Front. They were already doing Island hoping by the time the US dropped the nuclear weapons of biological tests - and that's what they were.

Japan was desperate to surrender by the US refused unless it was completely without condition. The Japanese didn't want their royalty executed so they held off - finally the US agreed to surrender and not to execute Hirohito.

There are no heroes at all in war, that's just propaganda.

The US' entry into WWII was pretty much worthless. It was more to prevent the Soviets from taking over all of Europe than to stop the Nazis. The US wouldn't even had an issue with Japan if they didn't impose an oil embargo on Japan.

richwicks says

Russia won WWII,

Bullshit: Russia has started WWII along with Hitler and when their former ally turned on them was saved from annihilation by American manufacturing and agriculture. We saved their fucking Commie asses, plain and simple.

Go take your cheap Russian propaganda somewhere else.

Eric Holder says

Oh, it was always Stalin's plan to betray Hitler.

His plan was to have Europe decimated, then once the war had finished, take over all of Europe - which basically he did.

The United States saved it with the Marshall plan and containment of the USSR.

Lots of interesting stuff showed up at the old KGB offices on December 26, 1991.

Eric Holder says

I don't engage in propaganda.

It's so fucking frustrating. My generation SPECIFICALLY made the Internet to free all the ingrates of their particular propaganda, which is entirely pervasive and exists in EVERY SINGLE NATION. Our press is WORSE than Izvestia or Pravda was in 1985 and it's been this way for decades, not just in the last 4 years.

You have to recall that the Russian Soviet revolution was done by western oligarchs to enslave the population. They're trying to do it here, and they're still pissed off they lost Russia. Stalin was nothing more than an agent of the Western banking sector.

These assholes just bankrupted the Western banking sector. We are not in lockdown for our protection. They couldn't give less of a fuck about how many people die, which is why over 1/2 dozen democratic governors were putting Covid-19 positive patients in nursing homes.

You've been warned for at least 20 years about the inevitable western banking collapse. I have absolutely NO SYMPATHY for anybody that wasn't prepared for it. You get to enjoy Depression 2.0.

I realized the Dems have no actual program.

They are not pushing FOR anything. They are simply against White, Middle Class people and pretty much everything here to fore.

They want to radically alter policing, tax the fuck out of regular people with carbon taxes, abort babies, ban guns, and let China take advantage of us.

They have literally nothing to offer a White, Working or Middle Class person/family, not in a government job.

Every thing else, from Russia to Racism, is a big distraction.

It's not like they wanna raise taxes on the rich and build a shitload of new roads or something.

The only thing they want to do is continue impeded on the current trajectory of radical outsourcing, insourcing, foreign meddling, mass immigration, and a borderless world governed by politicians who are stand ins for multinational corporations who virtue signal against ordinary Americans.
