So...anything out there NOT going up in price?

[Hessian]

While on a contract salary....seeing prices on everything going up gets pretty depressing. Naturally this could turn into stagflation where customers buy less, and the market prices remain high...thus businesses quit because they can't stock shelves if purchases go down. I can see restaurants and service industries getting the pinch right now.

The only thing I will try to do is cut my HELOC down before the Fed raises rates...interest is THROWN away $$$.

Is there anything out there that appears to be ignoring the inflation rate? I am curious.

**I was at 3 Mules last week: their prices on work gloves were VERY reasonable. Seems like they tagged those priced last year...that is the only thing I have seen.
Other decent prices out there???

With the slowdown over the last couple years, I have not had to restock welding consumables like TIG rod. It will be "interesting" to see how that kind of product has been affected, when I do need to buy stock.

Every Tuesday is Chicken and Chuck day at Fresh Market. Boneless chicken breasts are $2.99/lb and ground chuck is $3.99/lb.

Also, even though Dollar Tree is up to $1.25, there are a ton of good deals to be had in there.

Um, higher wages is what contributed to the inflation. Duh.

Fast food workers are making at least $14/hr. Arby's had a sign out for $20/hr.

I have to feel sorry for his parents.

They must have terribly regretted not having that abortion.

Be sure to plant a big garden. With the price of tomatoes, cukes, and bell peppers, it would be a good investment.

BTW, this is the culmination of decades of politicians selling us out for their own power and the investor class selling the USA out so they can maximize their profits, because the only thing that matters in a society is your god damned profits.

You seriously need to get better news sources. OR! You could get an education on how our government works. Because WHO controls the budget? (I'll give you a hint: it's not the executive or judicial branch.)

He's still in the throws of Stage 5 Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Is it too much to hope that at some point it's fatal?

We need to convince him that bathing in the waters under the Solomons Bridge has amazing health restorative powers.

That'll do pig.



Oh and a P.S. for pig snout
"Congress can override a veto by passing the act by a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate. (Usually an act is passed with a simple majority.) This check prevents the President from blocking an act when significant support for it exists."
