I'm prepping to head into the woods.

It's a sirthom sales event.

You can't move away from problems. Heading into the woods won't make the problems the other part of society has go away.
eventually it will find you and poison the area you were once safe in.

Idk, I'm pretty good at the camo-flag-gee.

One year ago I could fill my truck for $64. Last week I gave the kid $100 and was a few gallons short.

For the first time since I have been with my company, we have not had $5/lb rib roasts for the holidays. My meat department can’t even have any sales on anything but chicken really. Dollar off some weeks on beef, last week was $2 off chuck steaks. Peppers in my produce are almost $2 each. A sale on them is 3/5. Bag of potato’s is $5. Fucking pork shoulder is $4/lb, last year was $2.29.

I am embarrassed to have people pay the prices they do just so they don’t have to get Walmart produce and meat (the only other option here).

But inflation is a sign of a healthy economy according to the White House. Oh, and your house is worth more money, so shut up.

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad.

Inflation is good compared to deflation. We have had a very long period of essentially no inflation which is unusual. I agree with house prices, I don't want my house to keep going up in value, my property tax bill went up 25% last year and don't want to see what it is this year.

If the s&p 500 does 25% per year and inflation is 5% bring it on!

As per usual it's just poor people getting fucked. Anyone with real money invested this year has likley done phenomenal.

I don't think that for society as a whole that there should be unrestricted printing and inflation just to nominally benefit the S&P.

Expect things to keep increasing. Businesses shutting down, delays, lockdowns not many people buying. Massive Trillion dollar inflation through government borrowing to stimulate the economy we have an enormous debt to pay.

The real effects wont really begin showing 5-10 years down the line. This has been massively damaging pandemic.

I will take it though. I am selling my house right now so I guess that is a plus. That doesn’t make a difference to me or anybody else when it comes to life becoming harder to afford unfortunately.

Not true.
The printing of money has been fuk'd since forever. Dunno why somebody hasn't pulled that plug long time ago
