Unexpectedly.

Who could have seen this coming??

The way BLS measures inflation is BS. Not just because it eliminates a lot of the items people cumulatively spend the most on, but because the items they measure are completely random. We used to own a feedstore. Every few months this old black man from BLS would come in and check the price of one product from our store to see if it had changed.....he had no idea why or how this particular item was chosen, but it was a super slow mover (maybe sold 5 a year) and when we bought them, we bought them in batches of like 25. So that's a few year's worth of inventory. The item was a super small dog collar that would barely fit a chihuahua. I said that is a slow moving item, and that they should pick a 50 lb bag of cattle cubes or a bale of hay. Those we high volume items that definitely changed price way more often than a freakin dog collar....Riddle me that.

Slow bottoming out to usher in fed crypto.

Something something no mean tweets something all worth it something

Gas prices already seem to be going up

According to someone here, we only have inflation because of Putin.

Dem voters have not felt enough pain for their decisions yet.

They will

Libs still won't wake up to this reality. Let us suffer more.

Just paid $47 for two medium pizzas to be delivered from Dominos.

Inflation doesn't seem to be lessening much.

Not sure how most people afford this.

I hope it's a cold winter in NE this year

We are supposed to believe that Americans actually 'voted' to continue this economic pain........

Doesn't really matter if it goes up. Prices and expenses were already way too high, and more than extreme enough for anyone with a functioning brain that was not excessively well off to know they needed to vote out the Dems.

The midterms proved that for one reason or another not enough cared. So higher costs won't make any difference.

A true random sampling will have outliers…

Lotta Stimulus coming our way to "Boost the Economy" AKA the '24 vote. Buckle up,

Apparently a little over half our citizens want more of this.

Hell all those voters and the D gods they worship have no clue that supply and demand is an actual thing. They think these high prices are strictly the result of retailers jacking up prices. Amazing actually.

They voted for women's rights to kill babies and so that their males can sexualize little kids. Just like Biden.
I live in Austin. There are depraved people who vote for this *****
The economic pain is the side effect that we all have to suffer.

I think you found the solution. Instead of two teas, we need to start buying two pizzas to save the economy.

Had the same experience last week when I got online to order our normal order of 2 medium pizzas and it was about $15 more than it was over the summer. Holy Cow. My family is feeling the middle class squeeze for sure. FJB

I picked up 2 medium pizzas from Dominos for like $15 last weekend. Now, the grocery store...yikes.

That isn't possible in Dallas. One medium is usually around $12-15 for pickup.

They hammer your ass on delivery. That business must have dropped off dramatically with prices like this.

Of course now they are running a one week 50% off sale right now that we just missed.

I guess I'm sticking to Little Caesars if I want some mediocre pizza…

2 topping mediums are $6.99 in Houston…now that's up almost 20% since inflation hit but you gotta use the deal on the website or they'll kill you on prices

It doesn't matter. The poorer the populace gets, the more they'll be convinced white supremacy is keeping them down.

The right is in political checkmate. It could've been easily stopped 50 years ago. It might have been stopped 20 years ago. It's over now. You're never going to get conservative policy enacted politically at this point

I don't think it's that people don't care about their pocketbooks being hit. It's that they're too stupid to see whose fault it is. They believe the BS that is fed to them and think it's a result of Putin, lingering effects of covid and the huge mess that Trump supposedly left.

I was worried about this heading into the elections. I kept hearing that it would be a huge red wave because we're all sick of the cost of goods rising. But I was skeptical because I know how stupid people on the left are and I know they'll believe whatever the media tells them.

That's counting delivery and tip, suppose. it seems about double what would expect. A compromise often
engage in is to go drive to get it. The cost also varies per brand. That still seems high for two mediums. But no question it has gone up. A burger meal now breaks the $ 10 limit easily when it used to come just under it if that is all you got.

You got robbed. Order online, use their coupons. A medium 2 topping pizza is $6.99 doing carryout.
