Until it becomes a "budgeted" treat. Si? Moi FEELING The Inflation on prices of fresh beef, pork, chicken AND fresh fruits and fresh veggies. I Ignore Fish/Sea Food The price of a smaller bag of "Mother's" Oatmeal Cookies might be a standard but, I prefer the California Foster's Farms whole chicken as a worthy standard of currency at $0.69 / lb if not gold. eh
All if that sounds good... except pork. I love Hass avocados we import from Mexico [not California.] .
Hey I'm just advocating the California whole $0.69/lb Foster's Farm Chicken as a standard of currency as opposed to gold or paper and the exchange rate for Fresh Avocado against a pound of California whole $0.69/lb Foster's Farm Chicken YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA? The current scheme is run on paper as opposed to gold or Foster's Farms quality, $0.69/lb Fresh Whole Chicken. SUPPORT THE CHICKEN STANDARD Moi

The Fed was put into existence by liberal Democrats headed by Woodrow Wilson in 1913 to permanently end the big up-and-down cycles that led to economic panics and depressions. But, within twenty years, we suffered the biggest collapse of all -- THE GREAT DEPRESSION. The Fed did nothing but steal the government's constitutional right to control our own American currency, and now its control is total! This is probably wasted on those who like central banks, but consider a chief difference between ourselves and our adversaries -- that of GDP versus national debt. Remember that "the tipping point" recognized by economists throughout the world is 70% - 75%: https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/countries-by-national-debt China: 55.36% National Debt-to-GDP ratio (2021) Russia: 13.79% National Debt-to-GDP ratio (2021) United States: 106.7% National Debt-to-GDP ratio (2021) And who does all this Federal Reserve 'money-printing' really help? Korporate Amerika, which borrows vast sums of this new, imaginary money at ZERO percent interest and uses it to buy back stock -- further enriching and consolidating control to those who are already wealthy and powerful beyond belief. But the Left ignores all this and instead raises hell about "income inequality" night and day without even beginning to understand how it happens.... Maybe they'll get a 'clue' when they realize just how many jobs are gone -- forever -- as we continue this economic madness.
By liberal Democrats? Looks like another one who is only interesting in making absurd trolling posts rather than having any serious discussion. On the pile you go, then.
Is that breasts or thighs? I love breasts but thighs make me sick, and all my chicken has to be boned. (does that sound obscene?)
Read the HISTORY of the Federal Reserve System and then you may not be ignorant concerning its foundation, and its functions.... Interestingly, later, Wilson came to bitterly regret what he and his fellow Democrats did in creating this monstrosity.
Yep. A Mars Bar was once a nickel. I remember 5 cent postage. The only point I see here is that I'm old.
Partly true. A very high percentage of graphics cards manufactured in China but why would you assign the blame to Biden? The prices went up before he even took office. For starters if you had to blame a politician it has to be Trump. It was the Trump tariffs on goods from China that cause the initial price increase. GPU fell under a special exemption but it expired last year which lead to about a 20% price increase in GPUs. It made a $500 GPU cost about $600 so not the end of the world type of price increases. If I wanted a GPU back then I would have paid it. BUT the tariffs were not the real problem. It drove prices up but the supply was still there. The real problem was Cypto miners. They scoped up all of the GPU and drove the supply down to zero. If you went to you local computers stores no one had them. The only place to get one was on the after market like eBay or craigslist and the prices there were double or triple of MSRP. So that $500 video card is now $1500 or sometimes more. Luckily we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Some cards are returning but are instantly selling out at retailers. Now the premium is being charge by the retailer so you are still paying over MSRP but not the crazy after market prices. Here is a video from 2018 about the price impact of tariffs on computer products in general.
Every bad thing got blamed on Trump. I am simply returning the political favor. My son is an expert on this and you and he gave me the same lecture. He does not blame Trump though.
Then you are no better than the idiots on the left. This is why we get the politicians that WE deserve. People more concerned with partisan bickering and trolling sprinkled in with the culture war flavor of the month. The great misdirection so people will not focus on failed policies. Electing politicians that do not have the slightest idea how to fix our problems but know how to trigger outrage from their base on trivial matters. I supported Trump in 2016 but there is no doubt his policies and tariffs with China contributed to the inflation problem. Even that millennial small business owner in the video I linked understood the economics of the situation. Trump's #1 issue with China, (and he partially correct on this), is that they are currency manipulators. China artificially keeps their Yuan low. What do you think happens to prices if Trump succeeded in getting China to increase the value of the Yuan? What do you think that means for the price of all of the Chinese goods we buy? Inflation was the policy goal he just hid it under the anti-China rhetoric.
We all remember lower prices and if you want to call it inflation than be my guest. But do not confuse higher prices with monetary policy, I see no linkage in an economy like ours.
are you blaming China for managing their currency to protect their interests? Or do you think they should open it up so that currency speculators can control the Chinese Yuan? Sorry but I think China has it right, they refuse to open it up for Wall Street and gamblers to manipulate.
More and more evidence "we" need a whole California Fosters Farms chicken for $0.69 / lb monetary standard. Moi Support The Chicken Standard! No not Tyson. Fosters Farm!
I make pretty good money and don't pay attention to day-to-day prices of things, i.e. gas, groceries, etc. I am feeling it in my business though. Costs are rising, but passing those costs on isn't always possible. Collapse is inevitable, so I'm trying to prepare for that eventuality. Was hoping for a few more years, but now I'm not so sure we can make it that long.
