Anybody been to a super market lately? Costco? Sams? How about your local fast food joint?
Are any of you guys enjoying the new prices?
If you haven't been yet, in the past two to three weeks, food prices have really started to creep upwards. My wife (who does the majority of the shopping), has noted that many of the things we buy normally have already doubled, if not TRIPLED in price. This is painful. Luckily we have a meat freezer, and plenty of dry storage food (oh that sweet delicious instant ramen).
People are only beginning to notice it now. People can ignore a border-crisis. They can dismiss audits. They can deal with lockdowns. Hell they can laugh off people losing their jobs. The one thing they can't do is ignore their bellies rumbling... or their kids bellies rumbling.
In the next few weeks, as this inflation spike gets worse and those government checks dry up, people are going to feel the burn in their wallets even harder. The term inflation is going to crop up over and over, and a lot of people are going to look at the "current administration". They are going to learn this free money has consequences.
The anger caused by inflation is going to be the final straw, and their anger is going to be pointed at the current administration. Those people the government want to go back to sleep will not be able to sleep if they are hungry, or are too busy to sleep because they are debating choosing food or electricity. People are going want Biden out, and that is how we are going to get the last audits going.
Inflation will a Oscar-Meyer-Mobile sized redpill for the normies. That's my theory anyways.
Yup .... and combine that with less in the paycheck on the bottom line, thanks to increased taxes, and many will jump of the proverbial fence, and somehow I don't see it being on the side of the temporary administration.
It would be good to have a 'side by side' Basic Items cost comparison vs a year ago today ....
Its going to be interesting to watch hard-core lefties say: "I'll gladly pay more for food to get rid of Trump." That is going to come across as the most tone-deaf response to the plight of people not eating you could do. In other words:
"Its fine if you starve as long as I can sleep because Trump is out of office."
I don't see a win for the current administration once this crisis starts hitting. What are you going to do, insist people wait in food lines? In the states?
