We did it Joe!
 

Prices up for luxuries of life. But what about the necessities, like beer and pizza?

Where's beer on that list?

No big deal for Joe when the taxpayers are paying for his beer and pizza.

And let's not forget Nancy's ice cream. :coffee:

Joe explains inflation
 

Coffee went up only 14%? In what universe? For years -- and I mean for a long time -- I paid 9.99 for a 3 lb. tin of Kirkland Colombian coffee at Costco. Now it's up to 13.99. That's nearly a 29% increase!

I have to give up my beer and pizza so that I can have my caffeine fix throughout every day. :mad: :coffee:

Moonshine is still plentiful and affordable.

Only if they are stealing grain, sugar and lets not forget propane. Otherwise expect a significant increase in your bootleg liquor. Bulk grains are up 47% since last year. And even if they are pinching all their supplies... they are not going to sell at a discount. Cause everything in their daily life cost more.

So fuck Joe Briben and his VP whore.

Landlord bumping me 10% this year. I pay utilities, natural gas and electric, which have gone up 30%. Grocery bill up 20%, gasoline skyrocketing. Insurance rates are up, durable stuff up and a shipping surcharge for stuff I have shipped.


I notice Brandon is always willing to accept credit for favorable economic news but always has a scapegoat for unfavorable numbers.



Joe's most favored scapegoats:


Putin
White supremists
Ultra Maga
Senate
Covid
Oil Companies
Fox News
Climate Change
Trump
Social Media
Supreme Court
China
Rick Scott

I paid $11.65 for a six pack of Corona, that is damn near what a 12 pack used to cost. The real ball busters for me are stainless steel and aluminum bar stock rounds. Last price quote was $4.72 and $6.75 per pound, those were both running in the neighborhood of $2.50 at the end of Trump's term. Prices kept dropping after the tariff spikes. Shapes like squares, rectangles and sheet are even a lot more. Let's go Brandon!:mad:

Would that be the Rick Scott from Wisconsin or Florida?

I don't have natural gas and my water comes from a well. Electricity didn't go up, maybe because most of it comes from a nuke plant. That is fortunate because I have an all electric house. The heating oil I supplement electric heat with in my shop went up 25%. Shipping prices have went crazy. I buy a lot of shop supplies in the same volume. I just go hit the re-order button. I noticed a lot of the costs of the lighter orders on shipping have doubled. What was once $30 a year ago is now $60. 8% inflation my ass FJB.

COME ON MAN, that is raw data and needs adjusted for location, COLA, and inflation .... :lol::lol::lol:

Wow, that'll drive a man to drink.

I just checked WalMart for my everyday beer, Coors. It's $20.98 for a 30-pack of cans, which I feel is getting up there. A local grocery has better beers on sale from week to week. I bought a 15-pack of Kilt Lifter a couple weeks back for $10.95. I'm still thinking half in the past, where those prices are nuts.
