For any Democrat acquaintances
I read about “record spending” for Black Friday/Cyber Monday season, and the stock markets have gone spiraling upward this past month. Seems counter to the article.
Should say, “ Both the rich and poor are spending more for everything thanks to Bidenomics”.
Americans are cutting back on LUXURY items. Boats are considered luxury items. This would also include things like RVs. The cost of essentials like groceries, hygiene items, and gasoline are necessary evils and those are what are leading market spending, not luxuries or gifts.

I really thought we would be ok financially. We are even cutting back significantly. I think our kids will look back and wonder how we let this happen. Our kids meaning the ones that don’t have you know, the gender issues or safe spaces etc.
True if you can afford a belt. I’m considering using à
length of rope. New belts are a minimum of $40.00 for
a leather belt made in Taiwan.
I don’t know, they’re hitting McDonalds as hard as always. It would seem to me that crap like that would always be the first to go. I myself have quit buying my morning coffee and a bagel. Six or seven bucks a pop now. I can afford it but it’s just too much for a guy who remembers when it was fifty cents.
There’s a lot of people that can afford to buy whatever, but the combined effect of ridiculous prices and low value of the dollar are offensive. Would rather leave stuff on the shelf than pay that much.
But, what about the flight to Rosalyn’s funeral where Biden shared his flight with the Clintons and Michelle O.
I just hit the mileage limit on my company car, which enables me to buy it if I want.
I’ll be completing the paperwork today. It’s a 2020 F-150 with 70,000 miles. I’ve only had it a year and a half. it sat in a parking lot unused for two years.
The price is the lease turn in price and is well below market value. I’ll be paying cash.
Following that will be a smaller layout on a camper shell.
I’m a little nervous about pulling that much out of savings while the moron is still President and is determined to destroy our Republic, but I’m doing it anyway.
Regular Americans: We need a loan for our grocery shopping this week...
I wonder if the author restrained himself so that he wouldn't get decked, or hulled off to the home for wayward writers.
Sometimes it is wise not to Rush right in,
but when you can't stop plunging boat sails, the next best thing is to sink to gallows humor.
Puns are *the* lowest form of humor, so by letting them drop anchor, it's the sure-fire way for the sea to give up the dead which are in it. That's because even the dead will arise in order to flee a pundemic.

“Both the poor and rich are cutting back on spending, with 92% of Americans tightening their belts.”
My wife and I are in our 80’s and are not poor nor rich.
Since Biden became our resident, we have cut back on many things.
One of our heirs got our Honda Ridgeline, and we are down to
our 20 year old Lexus. We sold or gave away our many kayaks
and fishing boat/engine/trailer and other items being insured and their upkeep costs.
My wife isn’t going to a monthly expensive ladies lunch.
We seldom eat out or buy take home food.
Each week my wife checks the flyer for our grocery store. Usable items really on sale which can be stored or frozen are bought and stored.
Our monthly purchases at Costco take advantage of items with longer shelf life and really good prices.
With some basic home adaptations, our PGE bill has plunged and is constantly rated as an energy efficient home.
We have not “gone on vacation” for close to 3 years as the good nightly rates are now, 3+ times pre Covid.
Our few if/when needed new clothing items are bought from Costco or Amazon on sale.
“In a drastic turn, US boat sales, once thriving during the pandemic, are expected to plummet to a decade low, driven by the impact of soaring interest rates. The average per-person collection amount has surged from about $1,200 last year to over $1,600 in Q3 this year...”
I never considered that my per-person collection amount affected my plummeting US boat sales.
I will donate $2.50 to the bar tab of the person who can successfully explain whatever that means.
I had to cut back on going to the Global Warming Conference as my private jet has become too expensive to operate and besides it is frozen to the runway in Munich....
