Even eating breakfast under Bidenomics is more expensive. Particularly if you like orange juice like I do. To save money, I am probably going to have to switch to nasty-tasting Tang.
Food CPI is up 3.69% year-over-year. The rate of growth in food prices is slowing. But do I trust BLS data on CPI? Of course not.
Orange juice prices are up 47% under Biden.
Tang is the taste I hate and I can get Vitamin C from a multi vitamin. But I just don’t like having government policies (or follycies) dictate my food consumption. Or auto choice (I refused to buy an electric car or pickup truck).
Speaking of Bidenomics, here is an interesting Zero Hedge story on “The Biden-Du Pont Nexus: From A Prestigious Golf Club To A Controversial Child Rape Plea Deal.” What is it with Delaware elites having sex with their children?? And why is NY AG Letitia James prosecuting Donald Trump when there has been no crime while she let’s Epstein’s clients who flew to have sex with minors (used to be illegal) off the hook?

they keep using YOY.
I wonder what the YOY was the year before and the year before etc... to get a better perspective.
They removed food and energy from the calculation and of course the treasonous pricks in MSM let them.
Turn those machines back on!
I believe the CPI is nothing but government manipulated selected data massaged to reveal what the government wants or does not want to reveal/admit.
I trust my frequent visits to the grocery store and gas station, AND the increases that I see in my utility bills, home and car insurance, health insurance and my general state, county and city school and property taxes. In this perspective I see nothing BUT inflation and price increases.
They need Anita Bryant.
>>Florida, the biggest producer of oranges in the US, has been hit especially hard due to the impact of Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Ian in 2022, a freeze last January, and the spread of citrus greening, a bacterial disease transmitted by the Asian citrus psyllid insect.
>>Citrus Greening (Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus) is one of the most serious citrus plant diseases in the world. It is also known as Huanglongbing (HLB) or yellow dragon disease. Once a tree is infected, there is no cure. While the disease poses no threat to humans or animals, it has devastated millions of acres of citrus crops throughout the United States and abroad. Citrus greening is spread by a disease-infected insect, the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama or ACP), and has put the future of America’s citrus at risk. Infected trees produce fruits that are green, misshapen and bitter, unsuitable for sale as fresh fruit or for juice. Most infected trees die within a few years.
Citrus greening is also spreading in Brazil, the largest producer.
Tang has to be one of the worst things ever made. Gross.
Tang has helped me with breaking down kidney stones.
It tastes awful but after a few cups I tolerate it
Hit the cranberries.
I just went shopping. I don’t buy butter often but needed some for baking. $8 a pound for the cheap brand. Let’s go chomo Joe.
Remember that for the future.
It’s been over a decade since any stones.
Beat me to it concerning the reference to that movie, lol.
bigdaddy45 was first.
Whats wrong with Tang? Its one of the major food groups and can serve in other ways than just as a beverage.
