*Dozen Eggs: $4.50 Dollar General*

[Harpy Eagle]

Everything is Biden/Harris' fault.

I had to replace a septic tank pump this Summer and I cursed them when I got the bill.

Yes, I know there are people that think this way, just as people felt that way about Trump.

All I can saw to each of you....it sucks to be you

 

[candycorn]

Yeah, you can find them expired steaks for free in the wastebasket behind the grocery store, but not everyone is as, what's the word, omnivorous as you are. Some people have taste, you know.

Yeah...so tell us how Trump tastes. I know you've tasted him before.

 

[candycorn]

Says the fool who does not participate in Democracy because youbdo not to get to vote for who your candidate is.

You cant blame yourself or anyone else for this historically high inflation. You must accept it cause you are told to.

You can not afford anything anymore than I can. You must do as told and speak as told.

Well, here is what YOU said:

I make less today than when Trump was president.

You're to blame if you're making less. Nobody else.

youbdo

?

How so? I'm not the one running away to some foreign country.

Thats what my says she pays at walmart for 18 and almost 4.00 for a dozen at the union supermarkets.

That you call it "running away" says all that I need to know.

It is a big huge world out there, the US is just a small part of it.

Why limit myself to this part?

I grew up (4.5 years of my youth) outside the US. I spent 1/3 of my time in the Marines outside of the US. Turns out Veterans are a large part of the every growing Ex-pat community. According to one blog that I read there are 25,000 US Veterans living in the Dominican Republic. Panama has enough Vets living there that there is an active VSO and TriCare is accepted.

How would you know? You dont and cant. Another example of the bigotry that never left the democrat party.

Not sure about you, but the "rest of the world" just sounds like a good place to get raped/shot/murdered.

No thanks. I'll just be staying here on my hundred acres out here in the sticks.

Gee, remember when the GOP was the party of "personal responsibility"?

It is time for personal responsibility.

And if that makes you happy, then I am honestly happy for you.

My brother is the same way, he moved during COVID out of Atlanta and bought some land and is totally self sufficient as one can be and he would be content to never leave his land again. To me that sounds like purgatory. I have lived where I am now since I retired from the Marines 15 years ago and it am going stir crazy. This is the longest I have ever lived in one location in my life by more than 10 years. We have only stayed here this long as both our jobs were too good to walk away from once the kids were grown.

But we will make up for it in retirement.

What does that have to do with me?

 

[candycorn]

What does that have to do with me?

Yeah...you don't do that whole "personal responsibility" thing.

 

[elektra]

Yeah...you don't do that whole "personal responsibility" thing.

why do you say that

 

[Independent thinker]

Sorry bout that,

1. Well I've never seen eggs cost that much, I had to start a thread.
2. On the way to the auto repair shop I stopped at the store, grabbed a cart did some shopping.
3. And as I did I came up to the eggs, which were $4.50 cents a dozen.
4. Its highway robbery.
5. I want to say that the store is charging too much.
6. Its criminal.
7. How does this grab you?

Imports Helped Ease Egg Prices, But Here Come Tariffs - NerdWallet

Egg prices were recently at an all-time high because a three-year-long bird flu battle has devastated flocks of egg-laying hens.

It's all transitory!

I am paying $1.99 for a head of lettuce that ranged between 60 and 75 cents under Trump. I am paying $1.89 for a downsized loaf of bread that was a full size loaf for 85 cents when Trump was President. I am easily paying double for fresh apples, oranges, and three and four times the price for pork, chicken, beef now. Egg prices are so high due to bird flu so I hear so hopefully this huge hike in cost will be fairly temporary but who knows?

I assume the implication from your post is Biden is responsible for higher prices? If so, please explain why you think that is seeing as inflation has been lowered to the point where the Fed chairman just announced interest rates will begin to be cut in Sept.

Inflation is only an idea.

We must give it room to destroy.

 

[AntonToo]

Under Trump I could get a dozen large eggs for under a dollar, $0.67

Is that 500% inflation?

Yep, this guy is certifiably full of shit.

IMO if the Fed cuts rates in September--that is not yet a given--it will be to stave off a recession at least until the election is over. They weren't going to cut rates until the administration had to admit they cooked the books on new jobs and didn't add nearly as many as first claimed including shedding more than 100,000 manufacturing jobs indicating we are heading for recession. And those of us who buy food and other necessities to live know very well that we are paying two, three, four times what we paid in 2020 or the first part of 2021 and so far have seen no relief.

You cannot threaten to eliminate the livelihood of millions of Americans, threaten to confiscate billions more of their wealth, irresponsibly spend trillions of dollars in ways that do not stimulate the economy or help anybody but a few targeted cronies without seriously exacerbating inflation and hurting people.

The current administration has been a disaster for the economy of most Americans and it accepts zero responsibility for that. Kamala says on Day 1 it will be fixed. Really? Why not now? Why not for the last 3-1/2 years?

Most of it was - took longer than economists forecasted but it is 2.9% inflation now down from 9%.

Hey bullshit peddler, American economy adding jobs while a Democrat is in office is not evidence that BLS numbers were somehow manipulated by the administration.

More of our food every year comes from other countries. Just like almost all our medicine now comes from china

Certainly far too many of the components that go into our pharmaceuticals come from China. Trump was addressing that. The Biden Administration has seemed oblivious to it.
