Weekly Reminder: The economy is great, inflation is fake and gas is cheap.

[Commercial Inside Release]

Dementia usually proceeds on an expotential scale... So, by the Summer and with long days, Biden will probably become completely incoherent. (If you consider his current condition.)

 

[Box Ox]

That wasn't the question. How does someone other than Joe Biden fix greedflation?

Not do stuff like this during periods of high inflation. Corporations can see it too.

Student Debt Cancellation and its Inflation Impact | Richmond Fed

October 11, 2022

"A key concern about the debt forgiveness program is its inflationary impact in an environment where inflation has been persistently elevated for over a year. In this post, we provide a back-of-the-envelope calculation of the program's inflationary impact. It is based on a specific view (known as the fiscal theory of the price level) of the federal budget and how it interacts with monetary and fiscal policies."

How much have corporate profits increased over the last five years?

It’s not morally right but it’s also not surprising. The government money continues to flow.

I take it that means you can see that corporate greed contributes greatly to the economic condition of the country

Please look at McDonald’s profits over the past five years

And? I wasn't defending McDonald's. Just pointing out my experience there. I go down to McDonald's all the time to sip Diet Coke and surf the internet. I could get a large drink for $1.07 with tax a couple of years ago. Prices have tripled.

Quit drinking Coke.

Snort it instead? I drink Diet Coke.

I drink Diet Coke.

So does Donald Trump. That's the actual problem.

Dude and Err have never drank Coke, but they sure guzzle the Kool-Aid…

The inflation is the bitter reality no matter how many of us bluff ourselves that every thing is fine.

Why wouldn’t it when the government is still making it rain on former undergraduate and graduate students?

We have wifi at home. I go to McDonald's to get out of the house without spending a lot of money, sit in air conditioned comfort with good music, and I enjoy the hustle and bustle. I also go to Taco Bell and Wendy's. The closest Taco Bell has "Happier Hour" from 2-5 p.m. where a medium drink is $1.00. Wendy's is expensive too but I can get chili there. The local Popeyes Chicken now wants $3.99 for a large drink.

At any rate no McDonald's within driving distance, about 6 of them, now has large drinks for less than $2.39. Most are more than that. I find it odd that I was agreeing with someone who was talking about corporate greed and you attack me for it. Tripling the price of drinks in two years seems greedy to me, especially as fast food drinks are often their most profitable item.

Are you getting angry as you realize the Dems are about 98% certain to lose power in Washington this year?

Soft drinks are a restaurants biggest profit item.

Hmmm, another better than expected economic growth number. Dow 40K, S&P going north of 5000 and sub 3% inflation, all on the horizon??

I was told by MAGA we'd be in deep recession by now.

Get to work today, the economy is on fire. Our bosses need us.
