Inflation

[Kyure]

Here we go again. New year new prices.
Yep it might be a dime here and there but it adds up.
An example(one of a hundred I could put here) - I'm done with fast food. Taco bell burrito went $1.09 to $1.19.
Labor rates? stagnant if not dropping. Depressing.
Maybe I'm weird that I keep track of things like this but how many of lifes simple pleasures will I and many others have to cut just to pay bills and exist.

I don't know if people have figured it out, but as soon as the American oil companies start shutting down, and they lose money when oil is under $60 a barrel, OPEC will jack prices right back up. Some of the wells in Oklahoma are already being idled and workers laid off.

Kyure, I know we got off topic, but everything affects us and raises prices.

Inflation is the tool the 1% use to ..............

Oh never mind!

Arby's $5 roast beef sandwiches for $5?

Less meat on a smaller bun and they're 2 for $5 now.

Anyone believe this chart. If you do you need a lobotomy. If you reference these kinds of BS propaganda you need a .357 shot to the brain.
