Calm your bitchy tits. I'll indulge uou with your precious copy and paste of shit you already know when and if I can find it again. My time is not unlimited.
But yours are, because a powdered judge wig fell off the back of a truck, and landed right on your head! On that fateful day, you became.....STILL JUST SOME ASSHOLE!!!!!
It had to do with fudging items and substitutions counted in the CPI to undercut cost of living adjustments to Social Security to fuck people out of their benefits and funnel money to our corporate overlords. Of course you're not going to find "on this date, we got up to some budget fuckery" on a government site, and text versions of news from 30 years ago aren't proving easy to find. Still, I'm surprised at you collectivist types on this one.
Except if this sort of thing WAS going on, you'd expect you Libertarian types to have secret prepper bunkers of articles already researched and ready to shoot down any home intruders the instant they mentioned the CPI. You'd think they'd have archived this shit 30 years back - the internet wasn't exactly big back then but it was big enough. And yet... No. So either Libertarians like you are a bunch of hopeless cunts who just TALK a good game, or there's not actually anything out there. Which is it, oh Wearer Of The Fail Beard?
He’s just an idiot who doesn’t understand how substitution works. He thinks that if Heinz raised their prices to $5,000 a bottle but Hunt’s and store brand stayed the same price the CPI should adjust the average cost of ketchup to $2,000 a bottle. It is the Consumer Price Index. Not the goods and services price index. If prices rise on a good or service and folks shift to a substitute it factors that shift into the index because folks aren’t buying the now more expensive option at the same rate they were before.
I think we can all come together and agree that Heinz > Hunt’s* > store brand but it isn’t a huge issue if you have to buy Hunt’s or store brand. *with the obvious exception of the Hunt’s Sriracha combo - that was the best ketchup ever created
Or chicken instead of steak. Or omitting entirely the non-food items that absolutely DO contribute to the cost of living, like housing. Any shady bullshit to allow them spend that Social Security revenue on something other than SS benefits for the people who paid into it. I'm sure that's just fine with you.
Fuck you are stupid. FOR THE FOURTH FUCKING TIME LITERALLY THE SECOND BULLET POINT IN FF’S ARTICLE IS ABOUT HOW HOUSING COSTS IMPACTED JAN’S INFLATION RATE! FUCK! Shelter prices accounted for much of the rise, climbing 0.6% on the month, contributing more than two-thirds of the headline increase. On a 12-month basis, shelter rose 6%.
You read whole articles! You're a nerd with no life! I weld things! Look at me! Look at me, Anc! Make eye contact. Don't shy away. Look at me. I. Weld. Things. Forsake Jesus, and worship me.
Oh I always get the no sugar added variety now that they make them. We don’t have Whataburger up here at all sadly and my Safeway only had Hunt’s Sriracha not Heinz. Didn’t even know it was a thing. Has it come back after the Great Sriracha Crisis?
We have some sriracha ketchup in the house but I don't remember the brand. Whataburger condiments are sold in grocery stores here. Even though you can buy them online, I still send them to a friend in San Diego a couple of times a year.
Manufacturing spending up 279% by beginning of year four of the Biden Administration ….here’s why that’s bad for his reelection.
keep kicking the old man and get him doing something! I would actually have felt guilty doing that to Bernie.
