Food and some other things you can’t do without but you can cut back and shift to less expensive items.

If people would stop doing stupid things like buying over priced cars, houses, building materials and such the prices would go down.

I have a project started that will remain in limbo until material prices go down and I expect they will. Not a problem for me to wait. I am running out of life but not patience.

Some things, like fuel, have been sabotaged by plug and his handlers. The prices of them will not get better without another policy shift. Wild speculation and created shortages and created fear of supply are driving these prices.

You can’t print trillions of dollars to give away without inflation. That lump will take a long time to get through the snake.

Misery Index was high when I was young. We paid no attention to it though we saw articles about it in the papers.

Today too many people just want to wahh-wahh rather than work hard.

I’ve read the opposite: that in a time of rising inflation the thing to do is buy now, not wait, as prices will just worsen. That said, I’m glad I have several cars that still work. Maybe like Cubans I’ll never buy a car again.

Shadow Stats has us pegged at 15% for Consumer Inflation.

I, for one, am going to believe my own lyin’ eyes, versus Mother Government trying to tell me otherwise.

“...the Biden administration would have been fired on day one, along with a lot of members of congress.”

Most of them were ‘fraudulent hires’ in the FIRST place! Grrrr!
