Average price in the 80s for ground beef: ≈ $1.20/lb. As of Jan 2026, the price is $6.70/lb.

Thanks for that info.

According to the The U.S. Inflation Calculator https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

An item purchased in 1980 for $1.20 would cost $4.74 today, a 294.7% increase.

Therefore the increase in the cost of ground beef in your example ($6.70/lb is more than just just inflation ($4.74).

Rest in Peace Robert Carradine. Thanks for the films you worked on and bringing joy and fun to a broken world.

I used to respect Candace and enjoy her videos but not anymore. I hope Candace gets help and heals her soul.

Candace - please don't become Beyonce!

Never EVER trust doctors, Big Medicine or Big Pharma again. They are not about curing disease - they are about prolonging disease for maximum profit.

Far too many young people (up to 30) cannot perform simple math on their own.

There was a McDonalds near Torrington, CT back in the 1970's who had a teenage girl who could add up all the items for any order in her head, add sales tax and the final amount - no matter the order size - faster than someone else using the automated cashier machines. People used to come to that McDonalds to order and see her at work, she was amazing.

Just require them to build their own power plants. They can sell any excess to the public grid.

Thanks Climer for exposing this. Last week I watched a video of Victor Davis Hanson that did not look correct. I had to watch it carefully a few times to notice:
1. His eyeblinks were odd, not natural
2. His voice did not have his usual mannerism, pauses and inflections.
I then found this phrase buried deep in the More info area: "altered or synthetic content"

People are screwing up YouTube with their shite AI videos and now they are messing with Victor Davis Hanson.

Everyone is due respect for seeking truth.

I believe that John 3:16 is important to the conversation at hand. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (NIV)

Notice the "shall not perish" text in that scripture.

The Gospel of John was originally written in Koine Greek, the common international language of the Roman Empire. The Greek word for Perish was ἀπόλλυμι (apollumi) and implies permanent (absolute) destruction.

The theological position of conditional immortality is strengthened by John 3:16.

You are free to disagree of course. But make your argument intelligent and respectful in honor of Jim Robinson.

Damn blurry monitor again...

The Nativity display [is] consistent with the U.S. bishops' 'Special Message' that criticized mass deportations. Don't be fooled it's all about the Money!
