Diesel is $5 a gallon, groceries are far more expensive, and my home insurance just doubled. Those are just some personal examples that come to mind, but there are many more.
Every metric a working class person uses to measure the health of the economy is abysmal. The only "disconnect" that exists is the one between real people and the fucktard elites we see on TV and in government.
Diesel is well over $6 a gallon in states like Calif.
National average for regular gas is $3.85 while the Calif average is $5.50.
Banks are failing, inflation is out of control and we're expected to believe that these are all signs of the Greatest Economic Recovery of Our Lifetimes.
Inflation is going down, but most people think that means prices will go back to what they were. That's not what it means, prices will stay this high, they are just going up more slowly now. If inflation went to 0, that just means prices will stay where they are now, you'd need deflation for prices to go back down, or an increase in wages to match existing increases.
To be fair, your home insurance likely doubled due to other factors (such as your property being within a newly classified hazard area). Definitely shop around though.
I was told that it was inflation related. Shopped around and everything is worse. I live in a 50 year old house in an even older neighborhood so no zoning changes.

And more importantly, wages have not kept up!

...and once you increase wages, all the prices start going up again.
Freedom will be dispensed until the morale improves! /s
Well said. Can I give an extra updoot for use of “abysmal”?
Thanks. 😎👍

Nope. Home insurance is just creeping up. My mother's has crept up four times this year.

My house insurance went up $50 a month this last month.
