It was Putin's Price Hike. 😄 It was the sanctions and asset seizures initiated by Biden which have permanently disrupted trade and commerce arrangements leading to higher prices and costs while doing little to no damage of any importance to Russia. These sanctions hurt us. So what do they keep doing? More sanctions that don't work. The learning curve is very steep with this administration.

Maybe she lives in California (why would she if it's a liberal failed state?). I guess that brings her down to a 23 gallon tank. Stop driving a Ford F-250 super duty truck, Tiff. And then the bottled water!! Get a filter and a Stanley cup, girl. You're behind the times. But you can get a 12 pack of Arrowhead at Walmart for $3.68 today. You look like a big girl, so get 3. That's $11.04. And then there's vegetables! OMG. Eat your broccoli, girl. $1.74/lb at Walmart. Why not get 7 pounds to last you the week? That's $12.18. Leaves you only about $107 to get that fish. So why not go for the gold? Wild caught fresh salmon. Just bought some at Whole Foods. $17.98/lb. So get 6 pounds and you can eat almost a pound of fresh-grilled salmon every day of the week. Just keep posting this nonsense, and I'll keep you up to date on my shopping tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did I pay for gas today? $2.17 a gallon. Sam's Club/Colorado. That's right. Regular unleaded. Average price in Jan 2020, just before COVID, in the Glory Days of Trumpism? $2.63. Oh. You have gone awfully quiet in this thread as it relates to gas prices. Imagine that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Wholesale inflation rose 0.6% in February, much more than expected * The producer price index, which measures pipeline costs for raw, intermediate and finished goods, jumped 0.6% on the month, double the Dow Jones estimate. * On a year-over-year basis, the headline index increased 1.6%, the biggest move since September 2023. * Two-thirds of the rise in headline PPI came from a 1.2% surge in goods prices, the biggest increase since August 2023, thanks to a 4.4% jump in energy. * Retail sales increased 0.6%, less than expected, while weekly jobless claim filings nudged lower to 209,000. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/14/producer-price-index-february-2024-wholesale-inflation-rose-0point6percent-in-february.html . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietly, for obvious reasons. Here in CT they're proposing that you can't charge your EV in your garage. What do you think that will do to EV sales? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still lower than they were in summer 2008 (I recall a very pricey road trip I made from Colorado back to Buffalo), even without inflation adjusting.
