    So you’re taking your 2020 net wealth and 2020 prices is what you’re telling me Bob? I’m unclear with your answer

    I would take 2020 in a heart beat. Wouldn't have golden handcuffs to our current home and my wages went a lot further.
    Yeah but people bought tickets to the sugar bowl
    The average Joe didn't go to the Sugar Bowl- he watched it at home and went to work the next morning, hoping the fuel pump in his truck would last until his next paycheck. I've been to the NCG- it's not chock full of folks living paycheck to paycheck.
    The average Joe DID go to the Sugar Bowl. I was there, I conversed with many of them.

    Then check out the Rose Bowl. Filled with about 65,000 Alabama fans. None of those guys were average Joes? Those tickets were going for at least $450. I'm sure you guys already know that answer, just playing stupid because you can't argue against it.

    But back to my practical example here. National Championship tickets were at least $1000 and were actually going the other direction after kickoff. Why weren't they selling for $300? Because the sellers knew they could sell them at $1000 because people could afford to buy them at that price. Did Biden tell them to sell at $1000?
    You're using the example of football tickets holding value to explain that the everyman is in good financial shape? LMAO There were 72k fans there out of 330 million citizens. I went to the game not because I could afford to go, but because I HAD to go. People make irrational choices with money all the time, hence the record credit card debt.
    Let me get this straight.....you went to a game you couldn't afford yet are complaining about prices being high? Did I get that right?

    It’s amazing to me how some people can fill their car with gas, go to a grocery store or a hardware store and believe that inflation is really down.

    My suspicion is that E-commerce has softened the average consumer’s awareness of price increases. You know you’re paying more but you justify it in your head because of the convenience.

    Driving to the grocery store and spending 300.00 for 5 bags of essentials is what really lays bare the cost of living, because that’s a weekly phenomenon for a normal family of 4.

    Toss in monthly electric and natural gas bills, monthly gasoline bills with the huge increase in food costs and the average private sector American family knows all about Bidenomics.
    Many many Americans are on autopay.

    I get an email from the utilities co letting me know my bill has been paid. Never look at it. I imagine many Americans don’t.

    Same with cable, water, sewage etc etc. Many Americans are probably like me in that regard. Also many aren’t going to start looking at things until money gets tight.

    I have a 200k foundation/remodel coming up. I’ll look closely at that.

    The fucking electric bill? Who wants to inspect that and compare it to 2 years ago.

    No one.

    So it becomes the weekly receipts that drive our consciousness. Groceries. Gas. Diapers. Shit like that. Add in the fact that 80% of the country can’t balance a checkbook in 2023 and it’s really only the folks that are 40 and older with a mortgage and kids that care about inflation.

    Everyone else is happy to click through Amazon in between TiKTok binges because saving for the future is pointless. Trying to buy a house is pointless. Solution is to not have kids and rent forever. If that doesn’t work demand that the government just take care of your expenses. An entire generation of state wards.

    It’s unsustainable, but there just enough people like Mello and HH telling people in their 20s and 30s that this is ok.

    Also, orange man bad so blindly support the absolute disaster on the other side of the ticket. John Oliver and a bunch of Hollywood actors told me to!👍
    You’re wrong about most people just auto paying and setting it and forgetting it. I’d say only about 20% of folks can do that nowadays.

    The display of knowledge on history, science, math and economics by the leftards is breathtaking. I'm so glad that I learned that Milton Friedman isn't in charge anymore from the dementia patient.

    I knew you losers weren't worth my time intellectually, but I had no idea just what losers you were until you started whining about all this "hyperinflation".

    Kill yourselves. Seriously.

    Cheers
