US consumer prices surge as expected in March

“Hey man I’m a GOP voter, I’m like super smart! You guys remember those dudes who told us trickle down economics was going to usher the middle class into a new era of economic prosperity, far better than we had it in the 1980s? Remember that, how it was a huge scam and all? Well those exact same eighty year olds in Congress NOW say they’re going to make us ‘Great’. I mean, when have they ever lied to me, except for that one time every day for forty years straight. And also for that middle eastern war that cost us 1.1 Trillion dollars over two decades that was started under false pretenses and achieved absolutely nothing. Could have had Cheney walk a pallet of money out onto the White House lawn and set it on fire every single morning for twenty years for all the good it did for Americans. Thank god none of that cash went to healthcare, social security longevity, Medicaid, or any of the other things they now pretend we can’t afford, am I right? We really dodged a bullet there. Boy thank god nobody will be dumb enough to do anything like THAT again. Anyway, this time those people, those exact same ones? They’re gonna make us ‘great again’, despite dedicating their entire careers to doing the opposite! I know, crazy right? My god I’m so f****** smart. I’ll race you to the polls!” - Conservatives

"The Golden Age" really just means there's piss everywhere now.

With sandpaper, it's practically self-lubricating! 

Are we great again yet?

Hm. Wonder what will happen. 

So? How does that help a few dozen billionaires get richer???

I expect to be down-voted for this, but I was AMAZED that I was able to get 3 months of my heart medicine (ticagrelor 90mg) shipped from costplusdrugs (owned by Mark Cuban) for $30 WITHOUT insurance. The previous month's supply was $300 WITH insurance (United Healthcare naturally). There are middle-men all the way through the system taking their cut and the insurance companies love it and encourage it because it increases how much they can collect.

No, they want more people. Remember, they're the ones crying about birth rates

I like repubs talking about the roaring Bidenflation during Covid, when the checks thrown out to everyone literally had trumps signature on it. But it was some….Biden fault?

Because democrats are really bad at messaging and focus too much on shit that no one actually sees in their life. Look at Mamdani. Fixing m massive numbers of potholes in a week, people see that every day. Free childcare, parents see that big time. And he’s f****** LOUD about it. He’s on the street talking to people and making constant streams of short form video showing it.

Destroying education and villifying intelligence and experts was the long-con. It's easier to dupe uneducated, overly religous folk. This cycle won't stop till we have education reform and ensure everyone receives a quality education, atleast one good enough to instill the most basic form of critical thinking.

Not only that both Biden and Obama fixed our economy and Trump nuked them back immediately. Biden got us down to a 2.3% inflation rate AFTER the world economy collapsed in 3 years. Trump nuked it in 6 months

Republicans voted against the infrastructure bill, then went home to their districts and took credit for the money coming in. 

It’s a shitty cycle but also sums up exactly how educated the average voter is. They basically look at their gas or grocery bill and give the credit/blame to whoever’s in office

The Republicans go back to their districts during recess and tout all the publicly funded projects that they themselves actually voted against but their stupid constituents are none the wiser. Works every goddamn time.

Lets tax the rich.

Yup, we’ve all seen this play out over, and over again at this point. There’s a reason they scheduled the worst of the Medicare cuts in that big ugly bill until after the midterms. If all the plans to rig the elections fail they wanna make sure they can blame something on the dems if they take over.

Yep. Just watch. When Dems sweep the midterms, SUDDENLY it’s all about the deficit and excessive spending. There’s also foamers and copers on Insta saying “it was worse under Biden.”

Just enough time for Trump to release his taxes, infrastructure plan, healthcare plan, free wall from Mexico plan, super secret findings into Obama's birth, and his plan to destroy ISIS in 30 days. Just two more weeks guys.

$50? I wish.

Do you mean like…just the bag?

Dude I just paid $56 last night here’s what I bought: 2 bags of chips Half gal of oj Small thing of ice cream Pasta sauce (1jar) Bagels Bread Hot dogs Hot dog buns Shaker of Sesame seeds 2 pack Tony’s mini pizzas Tony’s candy bar Now that sounds like a lot for $56 but in reality that will last about 3 days.. maybe 4 if I’m lucky

Thanks I appreciate it greatly. Didn't have time to Google this morning.

No. APR is "annualized" rather than "annual". You divide APR by the number of periods, then compound it on that period for unpaid principal. Credit cards compound monthly. The IRS compounds daily. I can't at the moment think of anybody who compounds continuously in practice. It's a weird system, but it avoids having to take the Nth root, which for a lot of reasons is too complicated for a lot of people. People who can do it can also deal with annualized vs annual.

Don’t forget the Dijon mustard, I just know it’s responsible!!!

She had a funny laugh.

President or lasagna cat?

It's the deli counter chicken that the store cuts up themselves. The Purdue and packaged chicken remains insanely priced like everything else here (US/MX border).

Conservatives have a weird obsession with lady d***.

Hiring has slowed or stalled for many companies and tech is straight up firing thousands. Others are doing shit like this because they know it’s hard to find jobs right now.

Yesh there arent any of those new jobs either depending on sector. Pretty sure the only industry actively growing is health, which has some qualifications that others may not have.
