Only one thing can cause inflation. It happens when the government, the printer of money, spends more money than it takes in. That can be caused by the governing regulating profit, the source of income tax, or it can be caused by overspending. Biden and his Democrat accomplices are doing both.

Yes! Mullets are back🤯

Gassed up the gas guzzler today at Love's in Benson, AZ. 87 octane was only $3.19 USD. That is only $1.22 higher than it was on November 3, 2020.
By Crappy, it looks like Dimjo is getting a handle on this inflation stuff.

Let's Go Brandon!

Yes, it is causing inflation. People are getting paid so much more per hour than they should. They are constantly putting in notices. Its a nice racket, no degree required.

GMTA - first thought to my mind was that the Peanut President probably had a good supply of those left in some government warehouse.

No such concept.

"Went over to Safeway today to buy some beef for beef stew. $39 per pound on sale...."

...... Damn .... I just bought a bunch of 1-1/4" thick Ribeyes on Friday for $6.99/lb .... Now I almost feel guilty ........ Pays to shop around ..... Here in SoCal I alway hit up Stater Brothers Market for their steak deals ......

Went into a Publix looking for steaks to grill. Found a package of two prime ribs about one inch thick for just under $100. The problem was not the pricing, the problem was all the cheaper cuts had already been purchased leaving only the expensive prime cuts. Needless to say, we did not have steak that night.

Lets see a picture of the price.

[Jane Long]

True!

[OldGoatCPO]

Funny you should mention that. Went to Wendy's and the cashier had a Mullet cut! I asked my daughter, WTH the two things I thought I'd never seen again in my life time were men's platform (pimp) shoes and mullet cuts. My daughter said it is not a mullet because they shave the sides. Bovine excrement! That's still a mullet. God help us if pimp shoes are right around the corner.

[The Free Engineer]

They can’t do that. That would be an admission that they are not the provider of all things.

Stater Brothers, that’s a name I have not heard for years. When I was a broke single Dad living in Riverside CA, I bought meats at Stater Brothers and then I bought the old white box unlabeled foods at Safeway or Vons. Stater Brothers always had good prices on meats.

[R_Kangel]

"Stater Brothers always had good prices on meats."

..... Well ... they still do .... They are well known for their quality cuts for excellent prices. If I went to Vons/Safeway I would be paying $19.99/lb .... For some reason I decided to go with the better cut for $6.99/lb LOL

[momincombatboots]

These are oeople who are holding their bosses, your goods n services hostage while demanding they get paid twice the going rate causing inflation. They ate not good workers.
The good ones would never do that.
They lack the education, basic good employee traits. Constantly telling anyone who will listen they dont gaet paid enough for...fill in blank.

[SkyDancer]

As that will kill what’s left on shelves; Venezuela anyone?

[central_va]

Oh BS. The inflation we are seeing is not caused by the wages being paid to people at the bottom of the wage scale. That is laughable. Wages are actually falling when adjusted for inflation.

Dusting off Carter era price controls.

While you’re at it, dust off the Nixon ones too.
