Hiz and Herzog Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Was in the egg aisle this Sunday, and 18 pack was 2 for $4. Meanwhile the older chap across the way was arguing with himself out loud that dog food is 3 times what it used to be. Perhaps he could consider switching over to an egg diet for ole’ Spot… Edited November 14, 2023 by Hiz and Herzog Speeling 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why that's equivalent to that 36 cent a gallon gas from 1970 all them boomer continuously drone on about. 👴🏻 Back when I was in HS in Arlington, I could cruise the ‘69 Dodge Dart Swinger 340bbl all night if I had a fiver in my pocket. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 As the person who shops for and does all of the cooking in my household, I can’t help but wonder how they come up with some of the data in these reports regarding inflation. MAGAs embellish, exaggerate and outright lie about a lot of things, but groceries being up a wild amount isn’t one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought that was MAGA propaganda until I saw it with my own eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember gas around $6.50 but that was the trap placed near the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an Armada that required premium and had to fill up for over $7 at one of the stations right outside the airport. We were expensing it so weren’t real concerned about overpaying. Still insane.

TheGreatBuzz Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Someone help me with the math. When i lived in japan, gas was 115¥ per litre. The exchange rate was around 104¥ to the dollar. I drove a 66 gto 389 six pack. How much did my life suck per gallon in dollars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 CNN: Jamie Dimon Says to Be Prepared for Recession Ok buddy! Maybe I will skip one of my monthly trips to Europe. And how are you preparing? Are you going to get a side-CEO gig? Ask your spouse/partner to get a job? It's not even that he said this but also CNN just put this forward and carried the water for him. Thanks CNN! Even if the economy doesnt have a recession, personal recessions happen every day for Americans. But who cares... becsuse personal recessions don't matter. Are the "Lords of Wall St" like Dimon not going to give up their CEO reins like the political class (Trump, Biden, McConnell)? But hey... I guess their numbers are okay. As if the last 15 years of an econony (and people turning 40 wouldn't know any better) are "normal". Your company hates you, expects you to put in 50 hours a week as normal, wants you to RTO and doesn't actually pay market rate because "outsourcing". But I will just use my eyeballs and say, even in my decent paying job, 1 out of 15 younger co-workers have married, started a family... a handful still live with their parents in their 30s and everyone with kids is superstressed about rising costs of everything. I have white knuckled for 18 years... but at least I am here for now. Must have been nice to grow up in a decent economy where a minimum wage job could pay for college and rent (or both), you could quit a job, backpack thru Europe in your 20s and not have trouble picking up a job. Didn't have to constantly worry about constant rent increases, and other cost increases. We will just pretend that the economy of the 90s and before never existed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
