The I.R.A in particular and other issues more broadly are responsible for inflation.

You are a Canuck. Mind your own business! It was a fucking joke, not a penis! Don't take it so hard!

Wow, you are quite angry and offensive. I would pray for you but it's been raining out and I don't trust having to dodge a lightning bolt.

This is serious business, whether you know it or not. We need to be honest and not replicate some former Soviet style world in which we fool ourselves just to feel better.

I am a jovial person except for a life of being kicked to the curb. What is worse than all of that would be WWIII.

Inflation is when things get more expensive. The real question is how you calculate it. Earlier I said it was simple and that was wrong. It’s far from simple. To start, people from the government literally go out and check the prices or products in stores.

Inflation is a general increase in the prices of goods and services in a country.

A grocery store or food company cannot cause inflation.

Try again then! What does the Inflation Reduction Act have to do with World War III?

My initial comment was addressing the inflation for which the I.R.A was a large contributor.

The WWIII comment is a broader comment about the policies that will harm the West and weaken our Middle Classes. This will have a trickle down impact far beyond what we might initially consider.

Never said a grocery store could. But food manufacturers can especially when the industry is highly concentrated into just a handful of large companies.

So people don’t think about food prices when they think of inflation?

I'm sure they do. So what?

 

[Marener]

I'm sure they do. So what?

And are they not a factor in CPI?

And are they not a factor in CPI?

They are, so what?

 

[Marener]

Isn’t CPI the way we measure inflation?

[Toddsterpatriot]

If food prices increase, people buy less of it, they substitute with cheaper goods and
they have less money to spend on other things. That's not inflation.

We really need a facepalm emoji in the quick reply menu.

What we need is less government at all levels. The Democrat party is the party of big government and big business

Dude....

You realize that's nothing more than just a republican talking point these days, right?
