Wait until you guys get a CARBON TAX!
A month or so ago gas was about $3.40 a gallon in Spokane and now we’re back to over $4 a gallon again and it isn’t even Memorial Day or Summer yet. Thanks for nothing all you green ecoweenies assholes.
Fuel, food, energy, inflation, labor cost, property taxes, federal taxes: increases across the board on every consumable and non-consumable goods and services.
It’s not that simple, but yes it is very bad. The purchasing power of the dollar decreased by about 20% from 2020 to 2024. You read that right: 20% in just four years.
So, am I better off than I was four years ago?
Absolutely! Why, you ask?
Because I LOVE inflation and having my wealth stolen! I positively dig corrupt government at all levels. Kickbacks, insider trading, 10% for the bossman off the top! And aren’t forever wars great? Look at the money being made overseas! And piling up DEBT of all kinds? It’s SWEET, especially when cities and states can’t pay their bills and their pension funds default. How ’bout those wonderful, open borders with the millions of poor, diseased people pouring in and receiving free handouts while thousands of our veterans are homeless? Warms the cockles of my heart, it does, and it should yours, too! Wow. And dontcha just love our crappy public schools? I mean, nothing spells looming disaster better than incompetent, sexually confused, woke, idiot kids! They’re our future!
I can go on, if you’d like. But I’ll pause here to marvel at my light (empty) wallet after going to the grocery store this morning. I love empty pockets!
I was reading my family’s history the other day when going thru old photos and other items. My paternal grandfather was able to purchase 5 acres of land about 1931 or so in Dalton Gardens, Idaho just N. of Coeur d’ Alene from a tax sale for $88 dollars. This became their small farm from the early 30’s until the mid 60’s when they died. They made a good living raising 5 kids on that farm and some other property in that area. I looked up what the equivalent was between $88 dollars and what it is today due to inflation over the past 90 + years, $88 dollars back then is now equivalent to about $1570 dollars. I am glad that they bought that farm back then, nowadays the land where the farm was is mostly expensive houses in a bedroom community to CDA where an acre of land costs thousands of dollars. There are still a few small farms left mostly by the original owners and their families, most normal people can’t afford to live there anymore. Which is a shame since it was and still is a beautiful area and had a lot of small working farms up until the 70’s and 80’s.
Same here on the Peninsula geoff. Down to $3.40 last month and I’m thinking it’s just too fucking good to be real(was $2.20 in the small AR town I moved here from) now it’s $4.50.
A fillup was over $90 for my truck.
By design
They are pumping more oil in the Bakken field than all but one field worldwide trying to bring down prices before the election
Too little too late to disguise what they have been doing
They are waging war against us
Time to wake up and recognize them for the enemy of humanity that they are
At Safeway today a bag of regular size Doritos are $6.29!
Last bag of those I bought they were $2.50.
I can do without Doritos, have for a long time. But fuel is another situation.
the “big guy” pauses, leans down toward the microphone and wispers “BIDENOMICS”.
It gets easier once you capitulate. Just accept that there is no such thing as money anymore. The quatloo you hand the clerk today is not the same quatloo as you handed the clerk yesterday. It looks the same, but it’s not the same.
Who decides what it is though? Not you, not me, but someone, somewhere. But whom? If you ask around you’ll get a lot of conflicting answers, some vehement in insistence and some mild and vague.
This is one of the ways we can demonstrate that the quatloo you hold is not money at all. Its value, utility as it were, changes day to day and no one will clearly state why. Of course someone knows the answer but they ain’t telling, another piece of evidence the paper you hold is meaningless talk. Someone knows the answer but they won’t tell.
If it isn’t money, what is it? Quatloos are scrip. Useful in locations and venues approved by the issuer, at valuation set by the issuer. Think of them as the scrip the company gives the worker to spend at the company store. It won’t spend anywhere else so may as well buy the overpriced crap the company has on offer. The fact that our quatloos spend world wide just means the world is the company store.
So, spend away, or hang on to the scrip and wait for them to decide a new (lower, always lower) value for it. Or, while you’re still able, use some and buy some actual money-gold and silver-while the scrip issuer still allows it. That there money stays money for whatever reason.
Either-or any- way, internalizing the idea that the government issued scrap you hold and use in place of money is just that, scrip, with no actual value other than what the issuer says, helps a lot in going along with whatever shit they’re pulling now, cuz you ain’t gonna have a wet fart’s worth of effect on whatever that might be anyway.
What, did you think a fundamental transformation of the country was gonna be cheap?
If you think gas is expensive, figure out the actual cost per mile to drive your EV.

We need PRESIDENT Trump and Co. back in there so badly…
Won’t be high performance boating again this year. Just paid $100 for 5gal.of 114 octane just to crank it, 55gal is over $700 & $80 for the oil. Oh well maybe next year will be better.
Now I can carry $100 worth of groceries into the house in one trip. I couldn’t do that when Trump was president. Thx Joe
DIPSHIT did that!!!
