Every week I get a little poorer and a bit more depressed. Paul they didn't grow up when we did. People used to own multiple cars and houses and most guys I knew had a boat also. Working people could afford to live good. This is not the America we enjoyed. The Rich have taken every dime.

Of course they are. They lie for sport.

There's never been a doubt that they were lying simply because I shop and EVERYTHING IS MORE EXPENSIVE! Yes I was yelling.

I went grocery shopping on Saturday. Bought my usual list, with one exception, not much meat; a bag of Chicken Breasts, 1 pkg of store brand Bacon, 1 bag of Shrimp, but did include a box of Taquitos and 8 French Bread Pizzas for 17. Bill was $160 HIGHER than last month which incl HB meat and Chops.

One can stretch barb wire so much. One shouldn’t be surprised when it wraps you up. Of course, MAGA will blame anyone but themselves.

A friend is constantly telling me to watch a woman named Lisa on YouTube she talks about stocking your pantry. I have a shelf. But the info is interesting. The heat waves, tariffs, no products, and war affecting oil will triple the cost of everything come Autumn. @suttonsdaze She's no panic smart.

Not really. They’re just so fond of hearing their own voices speaking in public, it’s simply impossible to find time to look up some truth to squeeze into their verbal discharges. And it works alright, as long as their dictators have given the media corporations’ owners obscene amounts of free money

Well, given they are pretty much lying about everything these days, would you expect anything else?

I figured as much. I thought it a bit too fantastical that inflation DROPPED 0.7% last month.

The feds say there is only 3.5% inflation. So why does one bag of the most basic groceries cost $100? You know, milk, bread, eggs, meat, veggies. The cost of buying food now seems utterly insane.
Maybe not in next month's numbers, but a few down the road, the past numbers will be adjusted up. The administration is reporting lowball numbers knowing that people pay more attention to the present numbers and not the numbers from few months ago that are adjusted up.
EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR DAMN NEAR 3 MONTHS! THEY ARE LYING AND THE MEDIA IS GOING RIGHT ALONG WITH IT!
@greatgrandmacindy.bsky.social · 5d
Soon, if this goes unabated, food lines will start to become common along with "soup kitchens". Depression era America. Hamburger Helper used to be a cheap meal to feed your family. Now you are lucky to even afford the Helper component. I am curious about what happens to all that meat that people

They can lie and tinker with the numbers but at the end of the day people see their bank account balances and they know somethings going on.
Keith · 6d
Absolutely right, Texas Paul. I work in a grocery store. I can verify this FACT. But they don't like the facts. MAGA can see this. I just don't understand how they can lie. Facts are facts. When people go grocery shopping, they can see the prices. WTF??
@rob1432.bsky.social · 6d
Please, name one thing, just one, they don’t lie about.
Alkebulan · 6d
Thank you for doing this. We know that they are lying. Why can't "We the People" sue Donald Trump and his administration and demand accountability. The Constitution should have afforded "People" the power to bring action against any branch of the government for dereliction of duty to the people.
Gertie62301 · 6d
Of course they are lying, however, MAGAS believe whatever Shitler says and the Democrats can see through all the 🐂💩!!!

That's the part I don't get, everyone, even MAGA goes to the grocery store how do they not see it with their own 2 eyes 👀

Does Cletus even know what inflation is?
@dotshit.bsky.social · 6d
I knew they were going to do this and by september or the beginning of october, they'll come out.And say the inflation is at 2.5% Because that's how they have to pay people on SSI or SSDI social security disability?Their yearly wage is based on inflation
@theyareallcowards.bsky.social · 6d
The high cost of eggs got us here. And now every fucking item at grocery store is way higher then when Biden was in office…way fucking higher. Everyone who has to fucking eat knows this.

Oh I know. I'm a single father of 4. It is so hard to keep food on the table. I don't remember it ever being this bad.

My favorite burritos are the same price as always. They are also smaller. Is that inflation or deflation?
B Hart · 6d
Shrinkflation is the inflation nobody votes on. Same price, smaller package — products quietly reengineered and rebranded so you pay more and get less. American families feel it on every grocery run. Check the ounces, not just the price tag. #Shrinkflation #Inflation #ConsumerAwareness
@velmam.bsky.social · 6d
Yep…just grocery shop…for the usual stuff…OMG- prices are fucking high!
Old Grazing Horse · 6d
They’ve been fudging the numbers since day one. It took them awhile to corrupt all the data published. All the indicators, all the measures that guage performance. I would trust nothing. Look to the private numbers.
Blue (he/him) · 6d
Or ask any grocery employee how many new signs we've had to make to keep up with price changes. It's wild.

Texas Paul without your cowboy hat! Almost didn’t recognize you. Love your stuff, my man.
Prices have been bad for a while now. Companies are also making everything smaller and dont think ppl notice. Prices keep going up. Then, the whole rebranding costs a lot and then passes along to the customer with smaller and fewer.

When Democrats win in 2028 we need to Nationalize every fucking industry in the US and price regulate everything going forward fucking this corruption they want to be this fucking criminal take their fucking companies away from them for the public good.

We are sitting around 11 % inflation anything the claim under is a bold faced lie
You are exactly right . This administration is lying . Telling you the opposite of the truth. What the hell!!!
Yes they are lying about the inflation numbers. Coffee is ridiculously high most staples are up .Sheez bag of chocolate chips 8.99 , half gal ice cream 7.99

I see prices up like 20-30% since last FALL! Not buying 4.3 or 3.5% over a year.

Of course it is. But they expect people to be stupid and believe what they say. And not what they see with their own eyes.
@freespeech4eva.bsky.social · 5d
Usually this nonsense about inflation being low is buried in some cherry picked list of items that have gone down, but I can’t think of anything beyond eggs that went down after the bird flu crisis.

Go buy a pound of sausage. The bag now is 14 oz, not 16. Go buy a 16 oz can of evaporated milk. You get 12 oz. Smaller amounts, higher prices. Maybe that's how the GOP's Trumptatorship will fight the obesity epidemic. OF COURSE that only helps slim the not rich.

All I have to do is look at how much I’m spending per week on fresh produce or meat. Trump couldn’t care less about prices as long as his rich friends are raking in the cash from his war of distraction.
Darlene Hastings · 5d
You’ve heard of Restaurant Depot. I went yesterday. No bargains there and a price was wrong. SAMS nada. And overcharged me $21.95. Added tax on a discount. (Lady could not do the math). That’s a NO. COSTCO $29.99 For 2 rolls of foil. That’s a no. We don’t have tax on food either. I blame JBS too.
