I'm confident my $26 SS increase will cover it.

So will my $200 taxed inflation stimulus check I was oh so grateful and privileged to have no other choice but to cash….because, you know, I’m broke, from inflation. 🥴

Ground beef used to be $1.99 five years ago, then $2.99 and now it is minimum $5.59 or so - and up and up and up. Eggs are also much higher. So is everything else. As someone who lives on Social Security, I have to gag at the 3.2% COLA "increase". Anyone who says inflation is not out of control can just fuck off. And don't pull the Biden tricksy shit of using a monthly inflation increase number instead of a yearly number. Maybe this administration is stupid and believes that; those of us who have to count pennies - or nickels now, inflation has gotten to everything - know what the real inflation is. And congrats on the new gas prices. Mission accomplished.

I venture to guess I survive on less than you even. Yes, gas price here went for 2.99 to 4.29, and it was due to price gouging. That gas was already in the tanks at the stations. And America is not dependent on oil from Iran. Oil prices are set by the commodities traders, and fear is a factor. Our entire system must be taken off the fiat dollar and the Federal Reserve slave system must be ended.

Trump knows this. He has planned all along to sidestep the Federal Reserve that has enslaved the people for a hundred years. It takes some creative maneuvering to accomplish this, but it will happen. The entire global crime syndicate is being dismantled one piece at a time.

Let's start by 'obliterating Iran'. Ugh

Joe Simsbury's avatar

Yes. Notice all the other Arab countries are on our side with this? Iran made its choice. I dont mean the good Iranian people but their psychotic leadership didnt need to enrich uranium and threaten the US and Israel. They could have been a big winner in this making tons of money and living in peace and maybe they still will

Nice try, or maybe ignorance. Obliterating below market price oil for our enemies.

Special announcement from the White House:

Everyone needs to buy new baseball caps and t-shirts! All of this whining about inflation will stop! We just forgot a letter! or deliberately dropped a letter! One of those!

Correct slogan - MCAGA = Make Corporate America Great Again

MCAHA - Make Corporate America Healthy Again

The price of baseball caps and t-shirts has, unfortunately, doubled, but President Trump knows y'all will do the right thing and buy new stuff immediately! From Trump licensed and approved dealers!

Also, please read up on The Trickle Down Theory. It will work this time! There is a special commemorative coin and pamphlet explaining this, available in the new Gold Gift Shop as you exit the viewing tour of my new Ballroom. As are caps and t-shirts.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Stop bleating. Start biting.

The best possible outcome for the Constitutional Republic is a complete collapse of the current financial system.

While it will require extreme stress on the average American in the short-term, financial collapse is the best scenario for a better outcome.

Duelingspoons's avatar

The complete collapse of the United States is the best scenario.

Duelingspoons's avatar

Every US Dollar has to be borrowed into existence, every dollar is a vote. If a majority stop paying their bills - the system collapses.

Think of the power the debtors hold!

Cumulatively getting everyone on board is the issue at hand though.

Still way too many apathetic and Stockholmed folks with the blinders on…who apparently love being dry raped into submission.

I have absolutely not one submissive bone in this meat sack I call my body.

I know there are many like me….who require permission to enter them from behind.

Especially in such a grooming and rape-y type manner.

I know my mother certainly warned me at a young age, about discernment and these types of feelings.

But yet, there are still so many who simply just bear down and take it. Biting the pillow and praying to sky fairies about how this should come to pass if they just pray hard enough.

Instead of thinking integrity and resilience comes through submission to ideological worship- it’s proven much more of a feat to get everyone to unify for the integrity and resilience of their own flesh and blood.

Which, to me at least, is the most grotesque obfuscation of human kind.

Yet here we are.

The ones who KNOW, are ready and willing to unite.

The ones who DONT KNOW, just can’t seem to loosen their grasp on that pillow as they white-knuckle and double down on their sky fairy mental manifestations.

May tinkerbell have mercy on us all.

May the sky fairies sprinkle sharp metal glitter flakes into their eyes and make them see.

Maybe this is why Myopia and Utopia are similar in etymology?

I’m thinking Americans are already stressed af via finances, or lack thereof. So let’s get on with the show!

DenverDad's avatar

Nope. Collapse of the dollar ushers in the digital currency. First the penny. Then the nickel. Then digital currency because we have to save a few million dollars since the NGOs and Somali’s stole billions through fraud.

Compliance with demand for compliance will usher in CODY'S.

This bankers move will be fear based, and the sheeple will comply with glee.

Green energy scam = high electricity costs. Solar farms, wind turbines and destruction of coal fired power plants. Where’s y’all’s compassion? Costs you a little more each month but you’re helping keep those sweet people in Indonesia out of rising oceans!! Have some compassion! It’s only a few hundred buck for you a month.

SōL's avatar

A few hundred? My electric bill tripled, then it doubled that triple!! 400sq ft apartment, last months electric bill = $1230.00.

My rent is $1100.00.

Joe Simsbury's avatar

As I said above Europe is going to be screwed royally as part of their terrible decisions and green energy scam

Duelingspoons's avatar

Get out the vote, that matters!

SōL's avatar

Voting is useless and has never been our choice.

diane's avatar

Car insurance has skyrocketed.

DenverDad's avatar

But you’ve got EV’s and airbags now! Safety and green policies take premise over individual wealth and the ability to buy food. Where’s your compassion, man?! We’re saving the world’s environment!

SōL's avatar

The only air bags inside of EV’s are the meat suits driving them!

Bandit's avatar

Yeah, tell me about it. I think I'm going to have to go to PLPD (old terminology). 😭😭😭

Ok people wont believe this but the real issue is possible deflation.

As for Trump economics he is destroying the old guard and yes a little short term pain people need to suck up. How many of you have any idea what the UK has done to us for years when it comes to energy pricing and manipulation? Europe is screwed right now. They chose the wrong path with the Iran war and now their energy costs will skyrocket and they wont be able to build enough data centers to compete in the new global economy. Dont believe anyone who downplays AI and data centers as they are full of baloney. These things require power and thats even a big issue for us but Europe cant compete as their energy costs will be too great except for maybe France with nuclear power. Did you notice the last few days there are discussions in Europe by politicians about removing middle eastern and african immigrants. Thats not just because of their behavior in many cases being terrible but its also the financial drain and what they wont say is they are trying to appeal to Trump by showing they will remove people so Mr. President please remove your foot from our throat.

There is some big boy stuff going on and just look at all the Arab countries siding with Israel and the US of all places. Wow. That shows you that there are new economic alliances forming that we have never seen in our lifetime so stop whining about the price of eggs and gas as there are big economic things occurring to have to reset the table.

Obesity in the US will disappear if food costs keep inflating.

President Trump has too many balls in the air and he is losing control and taking bad advise.

His rhetoric is not helping.

SōL's avatar

Unfortunately I don’t believe this to be entirely true.

Yes, continued inflation will carry on destroying (farmed) food supplies. However, ultra processed fake food-like materials will continue being printed and manufactured. Which has a lot more to do with obesity than someone over eating whole naturally derived farm fresh food.

Then obese folks will continue being offered ozempic type drugs, which will only deplete them further into submission as their energetic bodies wither and blow away just like a balloon as it quickly dispels its air.

Can’t fight back when you’re empty and face down with your balloon knot up in the air.
