Inflation isn't down
No one with a brain thinks Biden is doing a good job
But he has you
Trillions lost. Trillions spent. Trillions printed. Biden fucked up this economy for 3 years and right on schedule, this year, an election year, miraculous things just happen!
HH comes on here bragging about inflation that is down to 3.14% after his sides bad fiscal policies decimated home savings and forced families into dept to pay bills. Increased food, fuel, clothing, anything imported, electricity, interest rates on a mortgage, rents are sky high, but hh's leaders told him to brag about inflation at 3.14% and to ignore the current misery caused by the biden team. Mission accomplished hh. Good job.

Groceries are through the roof.
It’s amazing to me how some people can fill their car with gas, go to a grocery store or a hardware store and believe that inflation is really down.
My suspicion is that E-commerce has softened the average consumer’s awareness of price increases. You know you’re paying more but you justify it in your head because of the convenience.
Driving to the grocery store and spending 300.00 for 5 bags of essentials is what really lays bare the cost of living, because that’s a weekly phenomenon for a normal family of 4.

Toss in monthly electric and natural gas bills, monthly gasoline bills with the huge increase in food costs and the average private sector American family knows all about Bidenomics.
Many many Americans are on autopay.
I get an email from the utilities co letting me know my bill has been paid. Never look at it. I imagine many Americans don’t.
Same with cable, water, sewage etc etc. Many Americans are probably like me in that regard. Also many aren’t going to start looking at things until money gets tight.
I have a 200k foundation/remodel coming up. I’ll look closely at that.
The fucking electric bill? Who wants to inspect that and compare it to 2 years ago.
No one.
So it becomes the weekly receipts that drive our consciousness. Groceries. Gas. Diapers. Shit like that. Add in the fact that 80% of the country can’t balance a checkbook in 2023 and it’s really only the folks that are 40 and older with a mortgage and kids that care about inflation.
Everyone else is happy to click through Amazon in between TiKTok binges because saving for the future is pointless. Trying to buy a house is pointless. Solution is to not have kids and rent forever. If that doesn’t work demand that the government just take care of your expenses. An entire generation of state wards.
It’s unsustainable, but there just enough people like Mello and HH telling people in their 20s and 30s that this is ok.
Also, orange man bad so blindly support the absolute disaster on the other side of the ticket. John Oliver and a bunch of Hollywood actors told me to!
I'm a man of the people
I track my natural gas bill. 300 this November compared to 220 last year. And we had a freeze last November
60 dollars of groceries is 100 now
I feel sorry for families
And it's true that I do a lot of Amazon and door dash and you just accept the higher cost

I mean I should look at my bills but what’s the point?
It’s not like I’m gonna change my consumption habits.
At this point I’m not selling the house I have a 3% IR on a JL and moving to CDL, Scottsdale, Tucson or Ft. Worth.
It is what it is for another 10 years. But I’m certainly not going to spend a red cent of retirement supporting this lunacy.

In the real world where tens of millions of private sector Americans are living paycheck to paycheck they know what things are costing and when Team Dazzler is pissing on their leg and tells them its raining, they know the truth. More good news for Portland electric users who vote for the dems lie of cheap green renewable energy and that inflation is done.
PS "Infrastructure spending" means solar and wind farms and the associated necessary transmission upgrades to get power from nowhere to somewhere. 18% > 3.1%
Power companies are spending big on green capex that delivers less energy, and less reliable energy at a higher cost. That's the reason for the higher prices. So even if LNG prices come down, energy prices to consumers won't come down as the depreciation from the capex needs to be covered in the margins.
