I don't think the vast majority of Dems know they're being lied to. Not at all.

You would think that the price of gas, beer, milk, etc and restaurant food my impact their consciousness. It's like it's rubbed in your face every time you buy something.DerekJohnson said:I don't think the vast majority of Dems know they're being lied to. Not at all.

When your house keeper and staff buy all that stuff, who notices?WestlinnDuck said:

Or if it's free on the government dime, who notices?

Plenty of PMS housewives and Snow that actually do some shopping. Lots of blacks and hispanics that fill up their cars and trucks.PurpleThrobber said:

I did a quick calculation on the percent increase for an item we buy at Costco on a regular basis. 30% increase since the last time we purchased less than two months ago. Now start multiplying that across the board. Only the stupid will be fooled by this nonsense. 9.5% to 8.5%, time to throw a party.

Yup, Pelosi has no idea how much her gourmet ice cream is costing and after her Asia trip it really doesn't matter does it.PurpleThrobber said:

June/July 2021 is when it really started accelerating. Since the official quoted number is the 12 month rolling number, they are really fucking up if they don't get it flattening out against the baseline now.
I do think the topline number will begin to flatten/slow, but part of what is happening to do that is that there are segments of goods that are having wild discounting going on, and others where the price will continue to exponentially increase (the ones that matter) that will balance out. There have been a ton of bad inventory purchasing related decisions made the last 18 months. CEO's said to avoid out of stocks at all costs, while China pretty much tripled its minimum order quantities on anything plastic resin related as an example. There's a glut of bad inventory on everyone's books, and with interest rates going up, it won't be as cheap to hold it. Major retailers are already cutting their week of supply because they can pass that cost down to suppliers. So consumers will benefit from the upcoming discounting purge, but the cost will be lots of jobs. -
Beef producers are dumping cattle due to high costs and midwest drought. Lower prices temporarily. Also, like gasoline, high prices due mitigate demand. The recent Let's Increase Inflation Act will due just that $700 billion in new spending and a wish list that we can spend money on stuff that doesn't work (chicom solar panels and wind turbines and EVs) and not have more inflation.Bob_C said:June/July 2021 is when it really started accelerating.

Well it's a good thing our Vegetable in Chief told us this AM that he's building a strong economy. I was worried for a minute. It's all good.Bob_C said:June/July 2021 is when it really started accelerating.
