Venezuelan Style Hyperinflation on the Menu – IOTW Report

Venezuelan Style Hyperinflation on the Menu

Bloomberg

To fathom just how rampant inflation now is in some corners of the US, duck into the Miami River Cafe, a Mexican place in the city’s East Little Havana district.

It’s not the prices on the menu so much that’ll shock you. They’re actually still very cheap (and the tacos really good). It’s the fact that the prices were scrawled in pen on stickers slapped on the menu. Those stickers are a tell-tale sign that prices are going up at such a rapid-fire clip that the staff is struggling to print new menus fast enough. Rewriting prices on old menus is easier and cheaper, too. More

  1. But coin will allow the government to do the same with monetary value.

    Kill switches for cars added to all of the regime mess, watch out for those trackers that they use on dogs.

    I have long suspected our military has them ‘installing’ them on our Government Issued personnel.

  2. Right around the corner, with these defecRATs wildly throwing our money away to the four winds, a single tissue will be worth more than a buck meaning it will be cheaper to blow your nose with a dollar bill! Same thing with toilet paper only it will be more satisfying to use Biden Bux for that task…

  3. I went to Popeyes and a two piece chicken was 10 bucks.
    The chicken was lighter than popcorn as well, no meat.

    My fast food purchases dropped when they quit opening their lobbies.
    In-N-Out burgers are going up by 25 cents every time I visit.
    Can’t blame them.

    Thing is, a shit-ton of places will be closing.
    Survived covid in spite of government but couldn’t survive biden*

  5. I should have known better, but last week I broke down and got a chicken wing dinner from the local chickenshack. $18.35 for ten wings and two sides, and the SOB’s shorted me a wing. It was good though.

  6. I remember working at a local True Value hardware store back in 1979. The owner hired two people who just worked their way around the shelves all day and replaced the price tags as their prices went up.
    bidentia must have gone to see jimmy carter to get inflation advice…

  7. PIANO

    As an undergrad i lived in dorm. No lunch Sat. So I biked to local Micky : Hamburger $0.15, cheeseburger $0, 16 oz (1 lb) fries $0,05!

    I only made $1.00 washing dishes. INFLATION IS NOT NEW!

  8. Anybody who believes that the inflation rate is 8.5% is delusional.
    Bacon up by 79%
    Sausage by 13%
    Gasoline by 45%
    and the beat goes on … lies and more lies … no accountability.

    Putin’s got nothing to do with it – it is intentional economic sabotage – the destruction of the West – with malice aforethought.

    We need to wake up.

  9. The left wants food shortages. People do crazy things when they are starving. I will personally target leftists for the food I need. I’ll be damned if they are going to eat while I go hungry.
