The voters who were so foolish as to get suckered by the left and the media that Trump was racist, a dictator, etc and that he had to be voted out due to his mean tweets, are responsible for voting for the destruction of our nation's economy.

One of S.F.’s best burritos now costs $22. Why this acclaimed taqueria nearly doubled its price
haves...have nots.
Costs of taxes, restaurant upkeep, labor, and advertising, are usually more important.
Even with the increased prices, I would bet the cost of the food, to the restaurant, for this burrito, is less than $5.
But that old guy yelling on the TV last week said the economy is doing great. 🤔
People of San Francisco:
“Keep supporting Leftist Elites ! It is working great !”
I’m surprised San Fransicko hasn’t shut him down for burning mesquite charcoal. /s
“Nothing that I can think of has returned to pre-COVID pricing,” Lopez said.
This is also a problem.
It’s not pre-Covid, it’s pre-Biden.
They refuse to see.
I work in medium size industrial and distribution company. I have visibility on ALL purchases for the last 25 years - everything from paper boxes to insurance to professional services, to raw materials to utilities.
For fun, I created a list of about 40 regular items we pay for and went back and checked prices to 2002. Its a crude list, and unlike the BLS or Dept of labor stats, it doesn’t count hedonics, substitution, or improvements from “better” products (for example, faster computers or better mobile phones)
From about 2002-2008 price inflation was about 3-4% per year. from 2008-2020 it went to about 6% per year.
After 2020, we’re still “recovering” from Covid. Prices of many physical goods and transport jumped immediately by 30% or more, and stayed there or only declined slightly. Labor, insurance and other items rose more slowly, but steadily. I estimate inflation since 2020 at about 12%-13% per year.
Our revenue is a lot higher, but with a headcount 20% below 20 years ago. That’s the result of inflation, but also constant improvements and investments in technology and software.
But that’s how inflation is pure government THEFT - we work our asses off to keep costs low, so that the Federal Reserve and Fed.gov can print money to STEAL all our efficiency gains, and more, with debased money
But Sideshow Bob Jean Pee-aire says the economy has never been better. A 22 freaking dollar burrito? Pass.
Lots of mullah for a fart muffin.
Fish sandwich in San Diego, was $20, 9 years ago.
Minimum wage: I told you so.
Joe Bidumb : I told you so.
And a million other embrace socialism I told you so’s.
Where is obvious man?
Give Obvious Man the Nobel Prize....thank you.
What?
I grow onions so have no idea what the current price is but are they that expensive right now?
And what are the reasons?
Guy is oblivious to, he’s in SF, SF is in a doom loop, he could raise prices to $50 a burro or drop it to $3 a burro, and it doesn’t matter. He is well and truly f’d because he is in SF. Schadenfreude.
I believe it. And he probably is basically forced to use more expensive ingredients like organic onions and stuff like that due to his customers. I’ll bet the customer that was accusing him of raising prices because of the fame supports leftist policies that are a significant part of the actual reason for that increase too.
I don’t know why it didn’t really sink in until today, but I’ve been spending a small fortune on lunch lately. I noticed the prices going up, but something today registered. Amortizing it I figure I’m dropping close to $4k a year on lunch eating out. The places I have been going for years which were like $10-$13 lunches are all now $19 to $25 lunches. And these aren’t fancy places. Some are not so healthy but few of them are horribly bad, fattening or high calorie. They’re just damn expensive. Only the burger place is actually reasonable, it’s fresh and tasty. But obviously not the healthiest. Great fries though, which I get without salt.
And I don’t blame the owners so much. Food prices are up. Wages are up. Rent is up. What choice do they have? But I do have a choice. I decided I have to start making my own lunches much more often. I’m brown bagging it.
Is that what that is all over the sidewalks?
