The only real inflation are the deliberately inflated prices. As long as the righties continue to insist it's Biden's fault the gougers are gonna make hay while their sunshine's.

Was working on my personal finances this morning and realized inflation has been pretty good for me.


Inflation is pretty rough on poor people though.

The particular item was identical in every way

same identical part for my mower was $160 from a local dealer and $23.95 from Amazon and I'm not a big Amazon fan but good grief ?


Going off on a tangent here, but you might be comparing apples to walnuts.

Did the seller on Amazon have a physical store where they had to pay rent, utilities, insurance, and payroll?

Are you sure it was an identical part? The seller on Amazon could have been selling refurbished parts or a foreign made knockoff.

From what I can tell, markup on lawnmower parts ranges from 10-25%. An 800% markup would be WAY beyond MSRP...


I figured this out years ago when I stopped shopping at Walmart... there's always a reason why it's cheaper, but it's not always because one store is trying to rip you off.

Ask who made the biggest impact on the debt ? Two trillion with a "t" of which 87% went to one percent of the population. Check corporate profits ? Biggest thing that has helped me is to shop around if i don't need something immediately

I've never said that... in fact, I say the opposite.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it's wrong

Greed is bad, Gandy. I think God is against it.


Not much the average person can do except vote for whoever you think is against spending more. But really both parties like to spend. Don't be confused by the GW know it all Anti saying it's s all about GDP. It is spending

It is a way to tax poor people without them knowing it
