The Elephant in the F*****G Room

JAS-SH · Tuesday at 5:54 PM

The Elephant no one talks about, not in government and not in the media. High prices for Food and Gas. Why?? Very simply, it's supply and demand, with some Bidennomics thrown in. When 15,000,000 people invade our country ILLEGALLY in 4-years (that's my number and I'm sticking to it), they all have to eat, and they all have to drive around. And who funds them? Talk to the Mexican cartels. What the fuck do I know.

And it's all supply and demand baby. the suppliers will get however much they can while it lasts. It's a free country after all..

Have you tried replacing meat with lentils?

Lentils, are you for real? They make me shit!

Honestly, I came back from the doctor today. Turned 70 last summer. My full blood panel came out to - "you're like 56".

My PSA (prostate) was .41. My wife is 63 and she freaked out when she saw my numbers. She said "You Shit! you're going to outlive me" Not that I ever want to, trust me....

There was an article released during the last administration telling people to eat lentils and not take their animals to the vet so they could save money.

Bloomberg op-ed says letting pets die of cancer can beat inflation

Bloomberg raised eyebrows with an op-ed telling Americans earning less than $300,000 to eat less meat and cut back on chemotherapy for pets to beat spiraling inflation.

Yes, leave all the meat to feed the illegal migrants.

Oh yeah? My PSA is .2. Nanner nanner boo boo.

I am a mere 10 years younger than you, though. I will be 61 in March. I am fairly certain I will outlive my wife. She has a medical condition that has the possibility of deteriorating with age.

But follow the advice of Tim McGraw.

Congrats on you PSA!! That said, and this is just my personal experience. From 60 to 70 it makes a huge difference. At 65 I was already .3... I.m starting to believe that genetics has a lot to do with this crap.

My brother, who is genetically more from my mother's side than I ever was, just died. Age, 66. Cause, Prostate cancer spread to his bones. Didn't pay attention to the signs. I miss him beyond words.

Moral of the story, you get to sixty years old. Prostate blood test every single year!

Well, in case of eggs, for example, yes...its supply and demand and a lot of dead chickens (bird flu and Biden's Dept of Ag.

But, IMO, the greatest driver of inflation and high prices in this country was the fucking Dimwits spending another $2T on cherished woke leftist shit after the Fed government...more or less...had to spend trillions during the shutdown of the country (COVID).

Government spending is inherently inflationary for two reasons: 1) the Government gets less for a dollar than anybody else....this is pretty much the definition of an inflation driver and; 2) we are in deficit spending and the way that they float that shit is printing more money...this dilutes the value of the dollar and...yep, inflation in the grocery store check out line, gas stations, etc.

So, while I'd like to see them all the illegal aliens sent back to where ever the fuck they came from, they are no raising demand significantly EXCEPT to the extent that local governments (like NYC) inefficiently spend billions housing, clothing, feeding, etc them. Again, government spending is inherently inflationary.

Just my view and I'm def not an economist so I'm more than willing to be corrected on any of this.

Wanna see something that will really turn your gears? Take eggs and look at the price in 1980. Then take a f-150 during the same time period. After that think on this: you are 70. All that retirement money you have could have been worth much more if they hadn’t stolen it with inflation, which is an invisible permanent tax. Somehow the government will tell us we voted for it when we elected our senators and congressmen.

I spent about 3 years of my career working with, " The best and the brightest". They were neither. The problem was that their leadership helped praise on them for doing the most mundane tasks in the most mediocre ways. It was too painful to endure. I moved on and never looked back.

Go to any ivy league school and you will quickly realize idiots populate every rung of the ladder.

I get what you're saying about the number of illegal aliens increasing the demand for things like food and gas. That said, since there has been a drive recently to increase the population of US Nationals/Citizens (to increase, for example, the base of Social Security FICA contributors)... perhaps even increase, specifically, the numbers of "America First" conservatives as well, (to increase our political & voting strength), I would think numbers needed to be effective in those efforts pail in comparison to the 15,000,000 illegals. Not that I want the illegals to be here... I don't. Come in legally, if you want to be here. Work and pay taxes, etc.. But, by your logic, if we are successful at increasing our US National/America First populations, at the numbers we need to be effective, the demand for and subsequent increase in pricing for basic supplies (food & gas for example) would be astronomical, it would seem. And, until that increased population of US Nationals/Citizens is old enough to enter the work force and pay taxes and FICA (assuming the jobs are even available), we're going to be in quite a bit of trouble, anyway.

To quote Sean Connery from The Untouchables, "What are you prepared to do?"

50% are below the median.

If 9 people worth $1 million each are standing in a room with Elon Musk, the average net worth in the room is $40 billion. 90% of the people in the room are indeed worth less than the average net worth in the room.

Burt, you just offset all of the AI dudes who play 'tummy sticks' in the AI pic thread with your GAPs.

I took possession of my TRG Monday. I think I'll buy a Leupold Mk5 and put it on the rifle just for the sake of posting pictures of it in that thread...
